I'm not going to play the game, but I do look forward to laughing at it in the inevitable Codex LP thread. It's fun to watch a trainwreck.

Have you even read all the butthurt and drama? This thread is even more entertaining than PoE Beta shipwreck.

I dunno. A couple of the videos make it almost seem palatable, for a fantasy action-shooter. But then I remember it's Dragon Age, so the faux-open-but-actually-corridor areas come to mind, the Morrigan-disapproves level of companion interaction, the one-button-to-rule-them-all gameplay all come to mind and that fleeting glimpse of giving it a mindless go just vanishes into a caramel-flavoured-cloud.

People are complaining now. Then they are going to play through the game with all the classes. Then they will come here and complain a bit more. I've seen people (not on the codex) complain about losing interest in a game after playing it 7 times. U wot m8? seven fucking times is solid replay value.

It's going to be the third best RPG of the year after Pillars of Eternity and Dragonfall.

I'm an Edmonton born physician. Naturally I take an interest in the work of other Edmontonian physicians.

Nihiliste confirmed to be Augustine Yip?

Maybe it's Greg Zeschuck trolling us.

What we really need is a Zeschuk/Muzyka kickstarter.

That would make me cum in my pants actually, but those guys have more than enough money to start up a new company.

Either they don't want to be in the gaming industry anymore or they are bound to a non-compete clause. Not sure.

Those guys are real bros who made the all too common mistake of putting hoes first.

Aha, do tell.

The PC UI stands revealed, in all its kick-ass glory:

Those portraits look so indie-game-like.

Not even as much indie, as iOS showelware.

 

[sbb]

They look fine.

 

[Roguey]

2D portraits are still an improvement over the ugly 3D models from O and 2.

 

[dryan]

I prefer the 3D ones where I can pose my character and choose facial expression.

Bad taste. We weep for you...

Anything I like is objectively better than anything else, so I have great taste.

 

[pippin]

There was a certain charm in making my character look like a retard when facing omg so seriouz ehrmageddon, but I must agree- 2d portraits are better. At least they don't look as atrocious as the 3d models.

Let me see.

No real grass on ground
Selection circles too bright
Bottom right buttons too small
Character portraits area too large
Map bottom left instead of top right or bottom right which is what players are more used to
Map is actually only a "radar" which is silly
Because of lack of bacground, small keybinds next to skill icons are unreadable when against a bright background (eg, sun-lit grass in the picture)

2/10, would not bang.

Almost, just a nitpick. Yes, the bolded isn't there merely to make you notice it, its part of the registered trademark.

"Anticipating" is a big world. I'll give it a go, just like I tried Risen 3 and Skyrim and whathefuck. If it's shit i'll drop it, if it's mediocre but playable I'll finish and give it a 5/10, would not recommend.
