Dragon Age: Inquisition Pre-Release Thread

Wouldn't people be bitching up a storm if the Witcher games had departed heavily from the books, though?

They definitely would. Fans impossible to please. And I don't think, that game scenarists can write something equaly good and completely new. They choose the safest route and was successful at it.
But it needed be understood, that Witcher objectively bad as sequel, and not treat it as continuation of the story.
So it would be a good game.

Yeah, I actually enjoyed Witcher 1 a lot more as a cohesive story. Also felt a lot bigger as a game. Witcher 2 was an amazing tech demo, but that's about it.

There are good references and there is the twitcher. It kind of reminds me Fallout 3:
"Ololololo! It's a fallout game so we have to include supermutants, it doesn't make any sense lore-wise but fuck it! Enclave! Just like in fallout 2! Do you get it? Do you get the reference, faggot?!"

Well, TW2 reintroduced Nilfgaard Empire and lesbian witches as villains, contrary to religious fanatics and elf-terrorists in TW1. That alone give second game more score in my eyes. But sadly it was mostly left for the 3 game.

Love how their first screen shot consists of lots of the same exact model.

 

[Kem0sabe]

I have no opinion about that image, but i will try to stay consistent with my previous opinions... it's all shit.

 

[Necroscope]

Is it me, or those helmets look like one eyed dicks?

 

[Rahdulan]

That DoF effect makes my eyes bleed. Also, nice pauldrons on those guys. What exactly are they meant to protect? Because they sure as hell aren't protecting shoulders.

Its like a horned helmet that you can just pull down in the middle of a battle. So, I'd say the pads are a plot device to explain how everyone in the world is a dipshit in combat.

 

[Night Goat]

Yeah, they kind of do. Also, note that the central characters' tunic is decorated with a single eye emitting white streams, and a single-eyed column features prominently in the background. Paging Doctor Freud...

Discarding sabots for being fired out of giant ballistae.

 

[Rahdulan]

Oh boy.

 

[Night Goat]

"Maybe if we make it bright enough, people won't notice that there's nothing in the background."

 

[Space Satan]

Onwards, my faithful cockheads!
Oh, wait, it may be another Gaider's attempt to fight mysogyny. Physically strong and strong-willed woman commands and orders an army of submissive dicks.

Obviously they are meant to protect their coolnessnesnes.

More like ducks to me.

The Secret Order of the Duck most likely, given Bio's current writing team.

Check out this douche-bag writing on the Bio-blog:

​

Hi, my name is Matt Komsthoeft. I’m a programmer at BioWare.
My life is a long list of contradictions. I have poor vision, yet I’m also a graphics programmer. I’ve never been very athletic, yet I’m also a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I hate the sun, yet I was also born and raised in California. I’m a bachelor, yet I’m also a foster parent. I went to one of the best colleges in the world, yet I also never really felt like I was better than anyone else.

Wow that is probably the fastest I have gone from neutral to wanting to strike someone ever. You Ed Begley Jr. motherfucker

Just be careful with that, given he has a black belt and all.

He lost me when he decided to pose in front of a DA2 poster.

Matt Komsthe... Komesth... Komsteot... Fuck this, Matt Komstshit!

 

[Tehdagah]

Oh boy.

I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes... the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil.

 

[Space Satan]

It's Warhammer rule - once character is promoited above faceless Space Marine - he removes his helmet and leads the troops, protected by his faith in the Emperor.

 

[Necroscope]

The guy looks more mundane than an iron dagger.

That misses the point. TW1 copies so many dialogues, plot points and so on from the books, either verbatim or with some alterations, that you get the impression that until very late in development the team wasn't exactly sure if they are making adaptation or continuation.

As a result a lot of stuff in it just isn't original, but shit repeating itself.

TW2, OTOH told its own story and a pretty good one too.
