The word is moron. Moran is a surname. Is this like the thing where Murican's mispronounce cretin as Cretan (kre-tan)? As in someone or thing pertaining to the island of Crete. As opposed to kret-IN: someone who's a mor-ON.

Mr. Muds Moran you need not defend your surname, nor do the people of crete care about american mispronounciation of cretin.

Here are some other things that are bugging me:

Route. It's pronounced root. Not rout. And how does anyone get 'tomaeto' out of 'tomato'? The 'h' in herb isn't silent. And what's the deal with airline food? Why are the peanuts so hard to get into?

So... hahaha... Hawke is actually going to be an NPC in this shitpile of a game? Seriously? Wow. I might even buy this if somebody confirms that you can kill that twit.

You cant. But you can play him for some time (99% confirmed for now)

Agree on every count. Particular 'erb and how the americans (which I once assumed everyone) pronounce the letter A as AE. Also your airlines are ripping you off, dude.

Dragon's Rim?

 

[RPGMaster]

BioWare have gone full Oblivion.

 

[hell bovine]

Gaider is a moran. Did he even play his own DA games. The dwarven women in them do not look like 14 year olds. FFS

Now, the elves... *shudder*


Anyways, the game will likely be fun but also will likely be flaed.

Also... HUGE *shudder* following this line:

FUKKIN' SKYRIM NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Well, considering the "adult but looking like a teenager" porn mods for Skyrim, it's no surprise about the elves looking creepily underage. They are probably aiming for the same audience.

 

[dryan]

What's the point of DLC that makes the game even easier by giving free extra weapons and armor right from the start? Now when I pirate I gotta look for a version that has no DLC's, that's more work. Ugh, thanks a lot Bioware.

The problem with Dragon Age elves isn't any sense of neoteny, it's the fact they look like a facegen disaster that happened in a chemical processing plant. They're hideously ugly without it apparently being the goal of them being hideously ugly (since this is never ever mentioned by anyone). Mer in Elder Scrolls suffered from this problem in all the 3D games until Skyrim, where they started looking at least moderately human.

All mer races looked ugly but awesome in Morrowind. The faces had a lot of character.

I think Morrowind missed the boat--Daggerfall and Arena suggested Mer were supposed to be alien, but not ugly. It's a common problem with early 3D games, though, and still a problem with modern 3D games that don't spend much money.

These 2 women on a page before.... please tell me it is not real... it is so horryfing
if rest of Bioware "pin up girls" look the same i don't need to think about origin of Gaider preferences any longer... Hold on Man!!! Be strong!!!In that case i will like boys more too...

 

[Zeriel]

Are those their like... main writing staff? If so I guess it explains why Dragon Age writing seems so different from Mass Effect.

 

[pippin]

Hepler was fired a long time ago, though.

More loot and maybe some extra quests or something. DA:O had this too and using the items from the DLCs right from the start made the game a lot easier.

My main issue with DLCs is that I have to wait around one year for the inevitable GOTY edition that has all the DLCs so I can finally have the full experience.

Its best to ignore them, only way to harp on the game's combat for being too easy without being silly.

 

[Zeriel]

The worst part is those DLC that give free weapons/armor of superior quality that ruin the difficulty curve are increasingly given out as preorder bonuses, so basically everyone has them. It's that way for Inquisition.

 

[Harold]

BioWare have gone full Oblivion.

Horse armor, main quest about closing oblivion gates - all it needs now is Patrick Stewart voicing Empress Celene.

Hepler was fired a long time ago, though.

Was she really fired or are you just trying to be a dick? I would love to read an RPGCodex Meltdown thread of her quitting / being fired if one exists.. I loved the one about Chris "Whale" Priestly.. it was epic funny.

She's getting a lot of whiteknigthing done for her!

Makes sense since it is the same guy as lead for both DA2 and DA3. He want to use "his character" again. A bit like, but not as much, as how the exile from Kotor2 was moved aside as he was made by another writer.

From what I seen she is a really bad writer of the fan-fiction level, but these people are not completly incorrect. A lot of the things and hate direct at her is vile and childish. The people doing threats and spiolling out all the bile are lowlifes that should be purged from the genepool, possibly including people from this forum. But that people on this forum spilled bile over women is hardly something new
