    A girl playing violing with a neatly editted video meant to be as uninformative as possible isn't nearly as cringeworthy as when BioWare discusses concept art, technical and game ideas as well as things that'd be of value.

    Bioware and game ideas? Man, you are mixing words that don't work together. Their fan base know everything they need to know already, explosions, molesting 12 year old women and sexual deviancy in general. There is nothing to discuss.

    The environment design in the trailer/screenshots looks quite good to me, but oh god the characters and items. The armors in particular seem so fake and out of place, like they come from some cartoony MMO.

    Maybe they are sweaty? Or people behind the textures have no idea about materials.

    Frostbite does not lend itself very well for fantasy/medieval style.

    They figured out how to make RPGs more replayable. One playthrough for each waifu.

    And two voices per gender! When you play again, you can hear a different crappy voice actor saying the same bullshit lines as before! You can play it 4 times! :d1p:

    Don't blame the incompetence of the developers on the engine.

    I can't believe they used twice the amount of money on voice acting for protagonists than they used before.

    As for the gameplay, it might be players will end up running in a bunch of linear locations farming power-points to progress the plot. And if you're not stupid, you'll better farm fucking all of them like in ME3, unless you want one of your favorite waifus die.

    "Fantasy, for us, is a player on a double-wide chair watching cutscenes and listening supposedly xir character saying derpy things in high budget actor's voice with bad/missing intonation."

    How much can it cost anyways...? I mean it's just reading lines in front of the mic, it's not rockit science.
