It seems Biware added horses to that blasphemy only for sexual minorities interested in horses. If it will be no horse sex scene between two mighty stallions it will be huge letdown for every fan.

When you press a button, something awesome so saccharine it makes you want to vomit has to happen.

And I see that for all their progressiveness, they've made their gay character the typical fashion-obsessed stereotype.

But then he caught and held her eye for a moment too long. Long enough for her to notice the chocolate-colored flecks in his golden eyes and to wonder how she'd ever thought them cold.

How does that simile even work? I dunno where this guy/gal is from, but around here there's as many chocolate types, and as many colours, as there are shades of red in sRGB.

While games like Divinity OS and MMX wallow in archaic stagnation, Bioware boldly pushes the genre forward :hero:

From the comments in the VG247 article...

I’m conflicted, because on the one hand, I love that it has a gay character written by a gay person for, perhaps, the first time in video game history. I love that you can randomly hug your companions (because why not). But I’m not a fan of killing animals or dragons.

…and that says a lot about me, right there, doesn’t it? It probably doesn’t help that I’m just sitting here listening to old Amiga music, right now, which means I’m less focused than usual. That stands, though, in that I’d love to see RPGs be less about the whole murder simulator thing.

Maybe one day, fantasy games will be more about disabling creatures and curing them of their corruption rather than simply killing them. “Here you go, dragon, I’ve removed the sickness that was making you insane. Go… do what dragons do!” Perhaps I’ll live to see such an enlightened era, when our entertainment isn’t so focused around killing. I probably won’t, but I do live in hope. I do live in hope.

And this coke fueled ramble goes on and on

This asshole would make an interesting point for RPGs - if it talked about humans as well.
But I guess "humanity" is a cis male oppressive construct.
Only female lesbian dragons need non violent approaches.

Hugging would be fine if they also gave us the option to sell them into slavery or banish them forever. In DA2 I cut Anders lose as soon as I could, but alas, he returns in the final act.

Not sure if this is new or not, here it is anyway:



That pop in his hilarious.

Also, so Skyrim it hurts.

Retarded animations from DA2 still here.

Unless those enemies are lower level, those battles looked too easy and too quick to dispatch to be at all threatening.

No loading areas was a plus, but a lot of the landscapes didn't offer much room to maneuver and the presence of "burning shit" randomly strewn about just means when you walk past that same burning bush ten or twelve times... it's going to take you out of the game.

Blood for the blood god. Death upon the wicked and the just. Animals, corpses, people, dragons, ants, sjws, zionists, everyone must be slaughtered in equal numbers. Blood must spill for war boners.

But on a more realistic note, you have to kill animals in fantasy land circa 1100-1900 A.D. modelled. I mean we still kill animals today for food because vegan diets are for pussies. I mean, a bear is going to eat you if it's starving and not give a shit about your feelings about being "enlightened." Animals are animals and we're all just cannibals, right? We eat the weak otherwise it'd be dolphins fucking us in da butt or dinosaurs eating us alive. Mmm, buffalo meat.

Wrong!

A gay character has to be primarily gay and secondarily a character. If he doesn't define himself through his sexuality and remembers you every two sentences that he's gay, he's NOT gay.

Actually there was a game where you "pacify" and "heal" your foes. Some abominable christian game on no less awful engine about early christian who "converts" roman legionarries by attacking(preaching?) to them.

Edit: Okay it looks shit. Move on citizens of the Codex.

Camera angle is frustratingly low and it feels like the character is always blocking the center of the screen.
Archer has no quiver.
Never goes too near the water. No swimming? Thread should be renamed "Bio Fails at Skyrim".

Anyway, after hearing about the characters (emo, butch, homo) I have zero interest in this game.

And the newly cured dragon promptly flies off, burns down the nearest village, roasting alive dozens of infants and children, eats all the livestock, and sets alight the wheat fields ensuring slow death by starvation and exposure for the survivors. Choice and consequences PETA boy. Choices and consequences.
