I know. History will judge. I wonder what will they say to their grandchildren.

"What did you do for a living grandpa?"
"I made great computer games!"
"Whoa! Like?"
"Elder Scrolls: Oblivion!"
"That shit? Nobody even plays it anymore! Grandpa, you suck!"

Have you seen Beth/Bioware's devs?

there's a difference between nerds and outright losers. nerds can fix your computer and explain C++ to you. losers just contribute to overpopulation.

Dragon Age 2 sucked because Bioware devs can't program or fix a computer. Right. :smug:

Mastermind, you are way too concerned with looks. Looks mean nothing. We aren't in the 60s any more. Anyone can look like anyone and be anything. Talk about complaining about superficial games.

Nonono. The problem isn't that they are "Nerds" and the other "jocks".

They are both nerds.

The problem is

This is Bioware

Now with which of these are actually capable of extended social interaction?

Even between nerds there is a difference.

(And I'm not making fun of that Bioware is fat. Feargus is also chubby but he has a awesome personality to go with it. Bioware takes their nerddom waaaay too far.

Don't you have a book report due tomorrow? Or something, you can go do? Paper route?

Anyway, I don't think it was intentional from the start - this place being "the Codex" is just a less extreme version of naming a site "Sword +1 dot-com." That said, I'm sure a snicker was had somewhere in the building at some point.

Fuck that! *Takes out Battlestar Galactica - The Board Game* Who wants to play some?
Are we playing "in-character" or can my Adama "sing" Raptori's 'Oi Beibi' (which results in riots)?

By Codex logic Epic are the best RPG company since CliffyB is the nerd who makes game development look cool and says that the future of shooters is RPGs. Origin was the worst because of Lord British.

And a +1 to you sir.

The BSG board game easily goes in the top 3 board games of all time. I earnestly dig the baseless accusations.

Twilight Imperium is the #1, though.

I'd have a beer with Sawyer and Avellone, if the option was available. Feargus could come too, if he promised not to cockblock us.

You could've just said -

Bioware: Canadians
Obsidian: The OC

Thread poster: nice catch.

Too bad Obsidian can't get an IP off the ground, but hey, living in the OC is expensive.

Damn, this thread is tempting me to give AP a try.

In short, the gameplay runs the gamut from mediocre to excruciating, cock and ball torture, mostly on account of terrible shooter mechanics and sub-par design of the stealth elements, among other things. However, this is somewhat mitigated by excellent characterization, solid writing, and one of the better implementations of choices with consequence.

There's a lot of bad shit to swallow, and it's not polished in the least. I wouldn't give it a hearty recommendation, but advise that if you want to try it, go in prepared for unpleasant experiences at times, but know that there are redeeming features.

Excellent characterization? Execution of a few characters were truly excellent and showed us what next-gen in computer games is supposed to be in RPGs the way Bloodlines also did. The rest? A pile of shit of comic stereotypes. Solid writing? Again, exclusive to those few characters. The rest was Hollywood blockbuster wannabe bullshit. Still, all of it was better than anything in DA:O. Writing in DA:O is similar to a thread full of whiny needy lonely aged children going emofag on each other.

Alpha Protocol is more like an essay in computer gaming with a few memorable and excellent but otherwise insignificant highs and lots of shit lows. Though even then, it still does better than DA:O.
