BTW, does anyone else find that emo-hair is completely out of place in a high fantasy setting, and moreover they totally clash with the beard?

Hey man, it's cool in Arcania so well, er......

Arcania's haircut is moar like something out of the 80's, it's got that LukeSkywalker look to it. And at least it's not paired with a beard, so I find it slightly less disturbing: probably the least disturbing thing about the whole game.

DA2, on the other hand... grrrr... very picture of Hawke I see makes me see red and feel the rage swelling up.

BioWare fantasy role-playing game Dragon Age 2 has a whopping 103 minutes of cutscenes.

The impressive figure was revealed by the BBFC, which has given the game its expected 18-rating certificate for "strong bloody violence".

Dragon Age 2's 103 minutes of cutscenes eclipses Killzone 3's 70 minutes worth, revealed by the BBFC earlier this month.

Dragon Age 2 was cleared for release with no cuts made.

Its age rating comes as no surprise. Dragon Age was a particularly gory role-player. After combat blood would remain on armour and clothing – which made for some hilarious cutscenes.

This was the absolute stupidest idea ever, and it made really clear how the DA designers had no clue how to get "grimdark" a la George R. R. Martin's books into a video game. I turned it off after the very first cutscene where the PC was standing there looking like he/she just slaughtered a pig with a chainsaw.

That blood effect only deserves a facepalm. I was like "are you fucking kidding me?" I killed a small animal, and my whole party was covered with blood from tip to toe. Who thought that this was a good idea? Maybe Bioware couldn't think of any other way, to make their game mature and dark, so they increased the blood level.

Your ignore list.
I don't see why you're complaining, FH.

In the real world when you chop someone up with a machete, you get blood all over your face.

If anything, DA is just ahead of the curve, realism-wise.

Even more funny that retards on bioforums fully support that travesty, and are snickering at the Witcher 2 for not having the DRM



these slaves have never tasted freedom.

Bullshit. Computer games used to be made by drug addled authors and monomaniacal madmen for geeks. NOW we have games made by geeks for geeks. It's a circle jerk of inanity.
I wouldn't say they're "for geeks" I mean you can't reach 10 million sales targeting just geeky people, you need to expand, RPGs are too inaccessible and need a larger fanbase says this guy:

Resist, my scaly friend. Otherwise you'll download the shapeshifter mod that gives dragon shape, make sweet love to Morrigan and LARP that you do so while you're both in dragon form...
And thus, you'd throw away all the KKKs you've accumulated over the last years.

You are in for a treat then, oh roleplayer.
I have it on good authority that it is impossible to completely avoid.

GTFO with that nipple-less woman.

(but really, that girl from DA looks like her tits have no nipples, they should've made her hair longer to actually cover the whole breasts; this way she just looks anatomically incomplete)
