Preview Dragon Age E3 Preview Wave One

I'm just pointing out that a Bioware game of course will be a Bioware game. How can that surprise you, by now : :!: In a Bioware game, there will be romances that might or might not lead to the player character (PC) have a love scene with a NPC of his or her choice e.g. Morrigan or Zevran in DA: Origins.

I doubt Bioware does this for the nerds; many female gamers play Bioware gamers mainly for the romances.

But has a single Bioware game been hyped to be full of sweaty sex, before?

Exactly, no. There's a difference between having a more or less regular romance here and there, and writing downright crap like 'THIS IS SO MATURE THERE'LL BE BOOBIES!!!!!'.

 

[Thrasher]

Oh yeah, mature boobies for everyone!

 

[Jaime Lannister]

Oh yeah, mature boobies for everyone!

 

[Major_Boobage]

Oh yeah, mature boobies for everyone!

Woot :D

 

[MetalCraze]

Oh yeah, mature boobies for everyone!

Too bad Xbawks is too weak to render immature nipples.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

Square nipples.

And i cannot help but wonder if the DS version will allow you to "poke her" just right with the touch pad. Urk.

 

[Risine]

How has the "successor of baldur's gate" become that "mature adult dark pseudo metal hardcore for teens" ?
EA's Bioware acquisition influence? That would be really interesting to know what really happened to that game.

 

[Volourn]

Anyone who thought DA would be BG just with a different name is plainly stupid. And, thamk god. BG is fuckin' dead. Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead.

BIO's newer games are vastly superior role-playing games, anyways.

^ Volourn, that's a dirty, dirty lie.

If the romances are like in other Bioware games - that's perfectly fine. Poorly written and cringe-worthy, but easily avoidable. In this case, however, like Roxor said, it's the first thing that was out of their mouths. We have every reason to believe it will be like it always has been, but in this current gaming PR environment we also have every reason to believe it will be much, much worse. There is still hope because this whole mess could all be EA's shenanigans.

I've never known any women who are into computer games, so I can't comment on your second statement, except to say that I believe it's not entirely correct since women, if anything, have better taste than men. Do you happen to hang out with sluts that read romance novels exclusively?

 

[Volourn]

"it's the first thing that was out of their mouths."

FALSE.



"since women, if anything, have better taste than men."

No.

Most women prefer to have sex with men. That's absolutely poor taste. Much better to have sex with women.

Period.

I would honestly like to hear your assessment on how post-BG2 Bioware games are "vastly superior" to BG2 as role-playing games.

 

[Dark_Paladin_Anti_Hero]

"it's the first thing that was out of their mouths."

FALSE.

SHACKNEWS:
The presentation began with lead designer Mike Laidlaw spending ten minutes explaining how players can have sex in the game. There was no lead-up to this segment, mind you. This was the headline topic. This was the new shit.

TRUE

"since women, if anything, have better taste than men."

No.

Period.

It's much better for a man to have sex with women, even if it's more attractive for a man to see two women go at it. If genetics didn't make men attractive to women, then there would be no Volourns. Unfortunately, there also wouldn't be anyone else.

Lightsabers, lesbians, and kung fu.

 

[MetalCraze]

Volourn actually means that newer Bioware games have more text and dialogue options. No matter if the text is painful to read and dialogue options lead to the exactly same responses. Obviously RPG is all about the quantity of sentences.

Shacknews shamcknews. I was referring to what bIo talked about DAS first, and it wasn't sex. That's a relatively new thing with the hype. Stuff like prologue stories is what BIo talked about first. R00fles!

L0LZ Anyone who thinks that BG is a better RPG than ME, they are plainly retarded.

they noticed almost no one gave a shit about BG, or no one was associating BG with 1 & 2, but with Dark Alliance

like when they said Bioshock was the spiritual sucessor to System Shock

Edit:

Another sign of their sanity. Romances are a huge success, everyone wants to know about them. Everyone loves romance mods. Makes perfect sense for them to talk about it first. I'm not sure it will be extremely important, I just think they are talking about it more because they wanted to grab people's attention.

 

[Jaesun]

Hi Dark_Paladin_Anti_Hero! Looks like you are new here. Arguing with Volourn is like talking to a brick wall. It's quite pointless.

Anyways, welcome and enjoy your stay here!

I can remember female gamers asking Bioware to make better romances for BG2, after they had the original Baldur's Gate. And so Bioware did. And many of the female gamers on the Bioware DA forums, keep asking for news on romances in the game.

And a Bioware game will have romances...

 

[Dark_Paladin_Anti_Hero]

I never followed the Bioware community so I do not know how much their romances are loved over there - although I have visited, of course, and can certainly speculate. Like I said before it could be nothing or it could be everything. We cannot believe any developer these days besides indies until we see the final product. I hope it's just hype and things are back to normal. I hope Marilyn Manson is just hype. I hope all the "BLOOD, DARKNESS, COME UNTO ME!" is just hype. It is telling, however, that the first thing they mention at the final E3 before the game is released is romances. There are still many more reasons. Who knows how many copies Mass Effect sold just because of the brief and insignificant sex scene? Promises of a true sex scene could bring all those children back in droves. It could be hype, or it could be more.

Shacknews shamcknews. I was referring to what bIo talked about DAS first, and it wasn't sex. That's a relatively new thing with the hype. Stuff like prologue stories is what BIo talked about first. R00fles!

Well, it looks like we were talking about two different things then. I was referring to the articles in question at this year's E3, the subject of this thread, and you decided to refer to what they were talking about when it was initially announced (but as it only pertains to the post-EA acquisition, as the first thing they talked about the first time around were languages and party members).

Thanks, but I am sure he can be reasoned with.

So young, so innocent. No worries though, a couple of Codex sessions riddled with mind-boggling frustration and murderous thoughts and you'll change your mind in no time.

Welcum!

Yep, and avoid GD untill your mind and soul are prepared for this traumatic experience.
It can make you squeel like a pig

 

[Dark_Paladin_Anti_Hero]

Even the most stubborn of individuals have a point where they will realize that they were just being foolish or childish, and it is not so much an argument as it is a conversation (after all, only idiots try to win fights on the Internet). Then they will either give in, disappear, or turn into a troll. It's a competition between opinions and fact fueled by speculation. Besides, how are you supposed to recognize the sane if you don't confront the inane?

 

[Volourn]

"Well, it looks like we were talking about two different things then."

Yeah, sounds cool.



"Thanks, but I am sure he can be reasoned with."

You are right. The problem with Codexian punks and other internet geeks is they equate 'being reasoned with' with agreeing with them 100% all the time.

My opinions, and views can be challenged and even changed but it needs to be done by someone intelligent, and who actually makes good points other than 'your opinion swrong l0l0l0llip0p'.

R00fles!

 

[FeelTheRads]

but it needs to be done by someone intelligent, and who actually makes good points other than 'your opinion swrong l0l0l0llip0p'.

As in... someone completely opposite to you?
