    Not entirely. Karpyshyn was replaced as lead by Mac Walters but he still contributed (and oddly enough there's a vocal group who think Walters ruined everything and want Karpyshyn to come back) and Kristjanson and most of the others also worked on ME.

    More or less true, the corporate culture of large companies like Bioware mostly drowns out individual voices, particularly since they have editors there to enforce the Bioware Style Guide.

    More than that, you have to construct a NWN module written in Bioware style to even get a job there in the first place. It's a cult.

    He's ugly, and even most of the locals are more refined than him. Bioware's sinking to new lows, it seems.

    I have a dark vision of Soap MacTavish as romance option, not sure which one is worse.
    How many bald space Marines can Unreal Uniform produce actually.

    Are you saying most of your Argentine locals are unrefined? That's not a flattering thing to say about them!

    But of course, a man like James Vega does look halfway Latin American and halfway Italian American. Like Nickelodeon's Dora the Explorer - the Peruvian, Guatemalan, Bolivian, Venezuelan, Apache preteen - James Vega covers a very vast demographic and audience in a single masterstroke.

    @ Wyrmlord

    I was not talking of those but, like, yes. Sure. Most modern men, by rule, are pathetic and unrefined, devoid of style and posture, lacking in manners and class, ignorant of anything :monocle: or pretty, nothing but ugly and brutish little creatures lacking in any redeeming qualities whatsoever, be them from argentina or elsewhere. Men who don't want to be seen, and used, as nothing but walking wallets and the ocassional walking sex toy when hot enough should make sure there's something beyond their wallet, and ocassional unpolished hotness, to notice. It is their responsability, not mine.

    But then there are exceptions, even in such a place as this. Let's keep that kind of thing to General Discussion, though. This is neither the place nor the time.



    Back on topic, even those lowly beings are better than this new Biowarian guy. Hell, even Jacob was, and that tells you something when even Biotards considered him to be quite the faux pas.

    The most important question is: if Sheperds is going gay, will he be the sub or the dom?

    Interesting. I felt there was a huge difference in tone in ME2 compared to other Bioware games. While, yes, the main story was still BSB, it was underemphasized and IMO the actual main story emphasis in the game was more of doing loyalty quests for your party members.

    Maybe you'll get an option to have Wrex beat him to death and throw the remains out the airlock. There's always hope.

    Most likely they won't even allow you to give harmless :troll: renegade responses to everything pertinent to fags. But maybe they'll be (unintentionally?) satyrical about it, just like youtube and their copyright education videos. There's always hope, indeed.

    Once again we see the downside of modern graphics. If Mass Effect 3 had 1993ish production values, this guy would only be vaguely defined by some low resolution sprites and a few lines of text. Mostly he'd be a blank slate and you would fill in the details according to your own prejudices. Thus, you would be in large part shielded from the Developer's bad taste.

    Instead, you get to see (and hear) in excruciating detail just how horrible the Developer's "vision" was. This is like the American/Canadian version of what happened to Final Fantasy games, get used to it.
