[A horse of course]

how did we pickup this fucking retard?

wut? Jaesun has been here longer than you, you ungrateful wretch.

 

[RK47]

That music at the start of the video, is that from Mass Effect 2?

yes

 

[Rivmusique]

The way they all decide the PC will be useful because of the mark on his hand is crazy. "Green hand getting bigger, thing in the sky is getting bigger so I theorise the only way to close it is to put your hand near it! Release the mysterious prisoner we suspect of starting this immediately!" Maybe they end up doing something with it (Revan-esque "we were lying from the start, we know who you are" maybe?), but as is, why wouldn't they have it happen on accident while you're being moved around and everyone being surprised? Just seems unnecessarily ridiculous. And the justification for letting you decide that battle plan at the end of tutorial "Why me?" "We must keep you alive, so tell us what to do please". Eh, bioware.

Enjoying RKs video's, keep 'em coming.

games like Mass Effect series had one of the most engaging stories and characters ever written in crpg gaming, Mordin, Wrex are among best npc's in today's crpgs.

Not that I disagree with Mordin and Wrex being good characters, but Bioware NPCs are usually better read than written, meaning high-quality well-payed voice actors giving them personality and making them seem more interesting than they would otherwise be. In terms of writing they are pretty mediocre, even with gaming standards in mind (not book/film/TV).
Another aspect is that Bioware dedicates A LOT of its writing towards NPCs, so they are fully-fledged. This is not necessarily good writing (quantity over quality approach), but it does work in making them seem more interesting. Also, more writing means there will be statistically more good moments in these dialogues too (and good moments is what people tend to remember, especially over time).

Still looks better than DA2, combat at least. It will probably even be challenging on highest difficulty. And Cassandra is sorta okay?
Otherwise - modern BioGame. Corridors with monsters and a dialogue wheel. Waiting to see open world and cards game if RK ever gets there.

Pretty good for a tutorial fight...

Combat is better? What? What? What? What? WHAT?
I just finished one round of co-op.
Compared to ME3 Beta launch.
This is dogshit.

It will be good crpg, without Gaider lgbt marketing it will have much better reception among players. Personally i don't have nothing against gays, lesbians or transsexuals [maybe i just don't agree to adopting children by them but thats all], this way or another these people were always part of society. And they deserve dignity and normal laws like any other human being.
If it's not main gameplay feature let it be, i think most of "gay haters" here and in overall, still lives with their mommy, have skyrocketing complexes or are just retards.
To some point making laugh about too much gay content in the game is nothing wrong like any other funny comments, but calling other people faggots etc. every time is just retarded "racism" and kind of sickness.
Calling Bioware shitty company etc. is also "too much", its good developer in the past but also in present gaming, and games like Mass Effect series had one of the most engaging stories and characters ever written in crpg gaming, Mordin, Wrex are among best npc's in today's crpgs.
Not to mention art style and overall scale.
It's sad that some people can say that writing, stories and rest were great only in Torment, BG, Fallouts etc. and are closed for new views, new games and new mechanics, calling almost any non-standard crpg game shit. Sure old games were great but new ones can be great too.
I play oldies to this day, launching Fallouts, Ishar etc. but please, they are just good "memories" of the past, for many of us from childhood where everything "was better". Time to move on.
Not to mention reading rpg Codex is sometimes boring becouse 85% of posts are about criticize and bash something. I wonder what are you doing in real life guys and what are your achievements there? Are you talking to your kids same way? "Go play fuking retard" etc. ? Maybe most of You just don't have kids, or own families becouse i doubt any normal adult person can spread so large ammount of "hate" .
It looks like 3/4 of codex are just unhappy loosers, just a impression after some time.

Lurk harder retard. Games like the Souls games or Dark Arisen are praised here, for instance, because the action gameplay is actually pretty good and they don't have an idiot compass leading you around. (all the bs hand holding) They're not old games or standard cRPGs., are they ? Neither is Bloodlines, but the writing is actually decent. So, yea, maybe you should get your ass back to the watch tower buddy.

Not sure if this was posted but this clown writing for Polygon names DA:I's best asset the writing.

For a game where this occurs:

Spoiler

Is there a character that isn't gay on this game?

 

[1451]

For those that wanted the original source on the DRM allegedly being bad for SSDs, it seems to be this Russian article:
http://gamemag.ru/news/drm-zashchita-dragon-ageinquisition-denuvo-antitamper-ubivaet-ssdhdd-101753

The alleged proof (40 mins gameplay before/after):

That website mentions codex as the source. Is this an infinite loop of sources.

Tread softly, because you're treading on Gaider's dreams.

Hell at least we have some actual evidence of some kind. Would be nice to get the original evidence as well though.

 

[DeepOcean]

What difficulty is this? Auto attack to win? The HP bloat on this boss fight was ridiculous, HP bloat, spammy abilities and endless revives on the middle of the fight...

 

[Musaab]

The over-the-top homosexuality in this game stops me from playing it.

And I suppose you will throw your hand in the air now, and leave the codex forever. Right? RIGHT? Pussy.

Wulfric Pinewood, are you from RPGWatch

Hint hint

 

[Wulfric Pinewood]

Hehehe nope, i just think that this forum needs more optimism and good natured people So from now i will be writing just positive posts here, spread smiles, ponies and spirit of good will. DIEEE TROLLS!

 

[Capitalism]

All right! Everybody, please press F to pay respects to Wulfric Pinewood. It was a good attempt.

 

[Infinitron]

So, resident Bioware fans and Bioware fans-in-denial, do you want me to split this conversation to a new thread now that the game is officially out? Or shall we let this one go OVER 900???

 

[dryan]

As a Bioware fan in denial, I say leave it all in one thread.

 

[RK47]

Actually the only way to beat the boss is to keep 'disrupting the rift' to lower the boss defenses.
Or else you're doing pitiful damage.
I'm playing it on normal.
I'm not very good at this game. Sorry. It's just not that rewarding to 'git gud' at it.

I say split it. I'm here for an actual gameplay info, not interested in edgy whiners, their repressed homosexuality and their fear of minorities and liberals.

I'm getting tired with shoving Mordin and Wrex as well-written characters. I admit they were, but there rest of the ME characters and writing were mediocre at best and mostly very bad.

I don't care if the game has only gay content, is not the "gay" content that's the problem, only the bad writing will be the problem. As somebody earlier mentioned if Bioware only makes "lesbian" or "gay" puppets and write characters whose only feature is being gay or transsexual, it means objectifying them, hurts the contect and does not really serve the cause.
Fallout games did it a lot better.
