That dragon fight looks about as fun as the one I fought in DA2 for 45 minutes on nightmare (Bioware: See Me After Class). Also, did any one of those characters use an interesting ability? It just looked like single target / aoe spam, no techniques to control the battle, besides that roll.

You could kill Leliana in Origins, but her not dying is canon.
You attacked her, but she didn't die. In one of the dee ell cees she acknowledges the attack if it happened. The visual representation of combat is an abstraction.

I can live with that I s'pose. I mean, in ME3 I blew that ninja guy into pieces with carnage and he seemed pretty normal in the next scene.

1) Overly serious music, from super serial piano to faux-latin chanting
2) Terribly cheesy narration, e.g. "Chaos has left it is mark upon me," oh shit, so grimdark!
3) Slow walking
4) Backflipping elf ladies
5) Backflipping elf ladies hitting armored creatures in the head with a wooden bow, but apparently knocking them down.
6) Backflipping elf ladies using bows to cast MAGIC ARROWS
7) SJW-APPROVED but completely insincere token black magical lady
8) Dude spinning with two swords
9) Dude running with a tower shield on one arm
10) EPIC DRAGON FIGHT

Fuck guys, I have to buy this.

people use magic and do retarded shit like dualwielding in high fantasy setting. news at 11:hmmm:


Gameplay looks iffy, need more unedited video. I really love the colors though.

no shit. after DA2/TOR/ME3 you would have to be nuts to preorder that shit. Day 1 torrent:kingcomrade:

Video was okay. showed off quite a bit of the game and was not just a cinematic.

As for combat it is clear they abandoned any form of realism for "Hollywood movie action", were everyone have superpowers.

Well the question is why didn't you kill her if you wanted to, and why Bioware made it look like you killed her when they easily could not have.

Deep in your subconscious mind spreading lies.
Because Bioware does not care (kekekekeke). Also because they adopted the we will retcon anything we want mentality after Mass Effect 2, so at the time of Origins they had absolutely no intention of using any of those characters ever again. Then they realized having a game series with spiderweb thin continuity captures retards attention and makes them buy sequels for the feels.

She seemed to be dead/dying, so you left.

They didn't know they'd be wanting to bring her back later on. I don't know if it would have been easy; they have budgets to consider.

E3 trailer.


No fucking and no homosexuality. Biowhores is disappoint. :1/5:

First of all, you're wrong, as that elf at 0:30 is walking like a complete faggot. Even if it's female, that's some faggoty nonsense.

Also, there's plenty of awesome button awesomeness. So that's 2 out of 3, and there are plenty of trailers to come.

The point all of you are missing is that BioWare writes specifically for their target audience.

I don't really see the problem.

So you have a nigger, a subhuman untermensch, horned faggot and a relatively normal human as companions. I wonder, who our most beloved balding faggot writer made romancable? I suppose it will be your horse.

Weapons and shields are still magnetized for easy carrying on the back I see. Comical animations, shapes and weird color palettes are starting to show themselves. Strange architecture (what's with the giant spikes on fortresses? Did they migrate there from people's armor?).
This thing screams DA2.

But targetable body parts for giant creatures is an improvement, can't deny that.

With all that hype, was there anything about roleplaying system itself? Is it still class-based? What are the classes, what are the skills? Are they going to add dialogue skills back?

This is the next-gen. Having some companions unfuckable was due to technical limitations, you shall bed them all.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.


This... is some of the shittiest writing I've seen. That sentence wouldn't even work in a C-movie. It's fanfiction level of bad. Bad fanfiction level of bad. I wouldn't even dare to send a work with a sentence as bad as this to a tiny pulp publisher with a low level of writing quality in its publications. It's that fucking bad.

ololol are those character posters real? they can't be real. it's some troll.

This game looks like dick. And shit. And dingleberries. I've recently learned what dingleberries are and this is dingleberries.

If you stop and think for a moment about who their main target audience is these days you might reconsider.

At some point they will hopefully give up this charade and start labelling their games as dating sims.

I'd rather sperg about the shitty graphics and art direction and maybe, just maybe that bent plate armor on his back. No wonder they get stabbed through it, it's made of plastic!

What the fuck is that thing soldier has in his hand. Is that a dagger? Was it inspired by Imperial Destroyer from Star Wars?
