I'm not going to play the game, but I do look forward to laughing at it in the inevitable Codex LP thread. It's fun to watch a trainwreck.

I dunno. A couple of the videos make it almost seem palatable, for a fantasy action-shooter. But then I remember it's Dragon Age, so the faux-open-but-actually-corridor areas come to mind, the Morrigan-disapproves level of companion interaction, the one-button-to-rule-them-all gameplay all come to mind and that fleeting glimpse of giving it a mindless go just vanishes into a caramel-flavoured-cloud.

266 pages? Why is anyone anticipating this?
People are complaining now. Then they are going to play through the game with all the classes. Then they will come here and complain a bit more. I've seen people (not on the codex) complain about losing interest in a game after playing it 7 times. U wot m8? seven fucking times is solid replay value.

Maybe it's Greg Zeschuck trolling us.

What we really need is a Zeschuk/Muzyka kickstarter.
That would make me cum in my pants actually, but those guys have more than enough money to start up a new company.

Either they don't want to be in the gaming industry anymore or they are bound to a non-compete clause. Not sure.

Those guys are real bros who made the all too common mistake of putting hoes first.
Aha, do tell.

2D portraits are still an improvement over the ugly 3D models from O and 2.

I prefer the 3D ones where I can pose my character and choose facial expression.

There was a certain charm in making my character look like a retard when facing omg so seriouz ehrmageddon, but I must agree- 2d portraits are better. At least they don't look as atrocious as the 3d models.

Let me see.

No real grass on ground
Selection circles too bright
Bottom right buttons too small
Character portraits area too large
Map bottom left instead of top right or bottom right which is what players are more used to
Map is actually only a "radar" which is silly
Because of lack of bacground, small keybinds next to skill icons are unreadable when against a bright background (eg, sun-lit grass in the picture)

2/10, would not bang.

"Anticipating" is a big world. I'll give it a go, just like I tried Risen 3 and Skyrim and whathefuck. If it's shit i'll drop it, if it's mediocre but playable I'll finish and give it a 5/10, would not recommend.
