Alistair was immature and hilarious character and dragon age had some really funny moments.

You'd have to be a fucking tard to like this shit. I mean it. I don't mean "I impose my standards on you in an arbitrary way", I mean "objectively, ontologically, in your very essence" tard. Your very being would be a tard, in other words. It's not like you'd be qualitified as a tard - you'd be a tard in itself. Your nature would be to be a tard. You wouldn't even be a man, or an animal - just a tard. That's right.

First, I did criticize everything else there is to criticize about DAO. Second, yes it is the point. It is IN THE NAME OF THE FUCKING GAME. If Arcanum: Of Steamworks And Magick Obscura was in fact about neither steamworks not magick it would've been criticized for it, and rightly so. But the real point is that Bioware hyped the shit out of the origins, and SPECIFICALLY out of how much effect they would have on the rest of the game and how "each origin story completely changes the setting and events of the game's first chapter and unlocks different storylines, villains, romances and items throughout the course of the game." Emphasis mine, quote is verbatim. Therefore, criticizing the game because one of its most hyped features is in fact NOT THERE is a very valid criticism. Origins may have ended up adding flavor only, but that is NOT what they were advertised as. This is like claiming that ME1 is full of C&C because choices add flavor.Relay said:Which is not the point. There is a lot to criticize about DA but not that.
Really? because I thought the story was in fact about Loghain (yes I know you haven't said this, I'm just pointing out that's an excuse others have brought up to cover for the Archdemon being such a pathetic villain). Well fair enough, but since the story of fighting the dorkspawn and the Archdemon is fucking awful you'd hope that at least the fluff would raise the game's quality a tiny notch. Instead it brings it down even more.the story is about fighting the dorkspawns and the Archdemon
On this (and the rest of the paragraph) I agree. Though I never thought of Irenicus as such a great villain, he's positively brilliant compared to every single other Bioware villain.The story itself swallows whole buckets of cocks since it's all about fighting a non-sentient force of evil who is evil.. because. Just because. It's evil. It's destroying shit. Bioware games never had stellar writing but I'd say they declined a lot since Mass Effect and Dragon Age, at least your enemy in Baldur's Gate 2 wasn't some "I'm evil hahaha because!", all he did had a purpose
Story-wise all Biogames between NWN and DAO have been copies of each other, with minor variations. The problem is that their formula isn't very engaging to begin with.Dragon Age, story-wise, is a 1:1 copy of Mass Effect. And Dragon age 2 is taking it further by turning it into an action RPG, just like ME.
