The Mass Effect 3/BioWare Thread

In before Reapers are fade demons.

 

In before Tali is Leliana.

 

An inferior clone of Fallout for an inferior clone of Mass Effect, which is worse and why?

 

eh, neither one of those is true.

 

You think ME is capable of being superior to anything?

 

Sure.

Mass Effect is better than anything Bethesda ever made. By far. Even with all the gay and lesbian alien sex stuff.

 

Anything Bethesda ever made?

Things are heating up in this thread.

 

mass effect better than daggerfall? gtfo.

 

I concur, though without any enthusiasm. It essentially puts Bethesda 1-up over Obsidian.

 

inb4 Loghain was indoctrinated.

 

In before ENCHANTMENT guy is going to be plot critical and maybe a romance option.

 

I think the only way BW could (but wont) pump new life to the series is if they scaaaale dooown the plot, instead of going full epic retard, setting a smaller conflict (could even be in the past) where the game is less about SAVE EVERYTHING BY BEING GOD and more about playing up different "interest groups".
Ofc we pretty much know by now that Bethe... Bioware is too occupied eating it's own shit to make any change that would classify as "incline" so fuck'em..

 

ENDERPMENT!

 

Yes, we need another game to mix things up like Dragon Age 2 did.

 

Oh. . a new dragon age game is announced?

And you command an inquisitorial organization? Okay, okay, so far so good. .

Oh just the usual shite then

 

Well, it's either an ancient darkness returning or a new darkness rising.

 

And it's based visually on Warcraft 3....

 

Better late than never I guess, but still they could have at least replayed the second one after making the third.

The only way to lift the franchise out of the narrative shit barrel is to reboot the whole thing, but I doubt it's going to happen. My bet goes on a shitty spin-off taking place in so called in-between.

 

You'd think Ancient Evil would be all geriatric and senile by now.

 

That would be a solid interpretation of the "reaper's" dubious motivations.

 

Not sure how it's a 1-up over Obsidian since Bioware made Mass Effect...

I was a huge Daggerfall fan, and yes, Mass Effect is a better game.

Ignoring the obvious graphical difference, it has more choices and consequences, more actual dialog, no Wikipedia filler NPCs, FAR less bugs. The only thing it lacks is stats that mean a damn to the plot and an open world you can piss away your life pretending to hike around. In that regard, Daggerfall has it beat hands down. Still, it's a more well put together game. If we start talking about which is the better RPG, we start running into definition of an RPG bullshit that has plagued this forum since I started reading it (Little over 10 years ago? I don't remember when exactly...), so I'm not even touching that. Though all said, Daggerfall was the more original title and I find myself wanting to replay it more than Mass Effect.

Really though, it isn't fair to either game to compare the two, given the differences in time and technology that have enabled Bioware to achieve cinematic graphics and animations that even current Bethesda artists and scripters can only dream of. And it doesn't have much to do with the discussion as Daggerfall Bethesda had actual heart and creativity, rather than the soulless console trash machine modern Bethesda has become.

 

At least in Daggerfall I could climb a wall.
