"I could, in fact, happily have a game without any romances at all...
:D
I'm sure Gaider knows very well that the bosses at EA will never approve a new bioware game without romances. I don't know how important the romancefags are saleswise, but they are extremely vocal and severely disappointing them is going to generate far too much negative buzz about the game.

I can't find any lasting appeal in Bethesda games, sorry. Alpha Protocol was a buggy mess but at least it had its own little charm and wasn't just a big huge rock of boredom once you are done eating up the landscapes.
You're right that Bethesda games get boring after you are done "eating up" the landscape. But when is that?
For me, the Steam clock showed 80 hours after my first playthrough of Skyrim. And it's not like I really did every quest. Maybe 70%.

The quests were shit to but that's subjective. The quests have been shit since Oblivion with a little marker that directs you where to go.

What did the clock say after I quit playing Alpha Protocol?
Six hours, as I simply couldn't stand the gameplay. No way.

I'd say having "its own little charm" is worthless when the basic gameplay is bad.

Check the alpha protocol review thread.

He has mentioned on the Bio-forums and elsewhere that Obsidian takes a lot more risks than Bioware and he doesn't particularly enjoy playing modern RPGs but does so anyway for research purposes. He also donated to Shadowrun Returns and Project Eternity (but not Wasteland 2; probably rightfully suspicious) so I'm sure he's quite happy to have some RPGs coming out that he actually does want to play.

Pfft. Suspicious of Wasteland 2 but not of Shadowrun Returns? Even though his friend MCA is signed up for the former?

You know what everybody is thinking here, Roguey. He's an EA employee and he doesn't want to be seen giving money to Brian "AAA publishers are evil" Fargo.

Romances in games, I avoid them whenever I can.

Removing them altogether would solve all problems. Might encourage these cretans to actually go find a fucking girlfriend/boyfriend/whatever the fuck you're into.

That's all I need to read to know it's just some feminist spic bitch telling all the damn dirty cis scum to check their privilege.

FYI in addition to our usual deletion policy, there’s a one-strike, merciless ban system in place for horrible people in this thread (which is why it might appear to be suspiciously calm). Critique is fine, hatred no matter what it’s hidden in is not.

What was the gaming news outlet whose writers were given more money based on how many hits the page got? Was it Kotaku?

The words weren't coming from them. No, they were coming from me. Me. The rape survivor.

...I've been raped a number of times, by a number of different people.

...I was smiling, but when my friend looked at me like I had just murdered a small child... Crap. She was a rape survivor, too, you see.

What the fuck did I just read. And why do I get the feeling it's all made up so the author can make a point about rape culture.

Mike Laidlaw backed Wasteland 2 so I'm afraid your conspiracy theory is flawed. :)

They deserved it.
