Dragon Age: Inquisition Pre-Release Thread

But but... if she has a helmet, how would you be able to know she's a woman, which is the entire point of her character?

 

[Borelli]

That's what the chainmail bikini is for.

Mixing chainmail with platemail? of fashion sense.

Ban m_s0.

Mixing chainmail with platemail?

I think that would be called the boobplate.

It's only a boobplate if you can still see the boobs.

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

TW2 feels much more natural in that, but it also consist of same old faces who do the same old stuff which they do in the books. And I don't think it was needed to raise questions about Triss loyality again.
There are few original characters (TW1 also have 1 or 2), which help diversify the story, but I can't call it completely original also.

To be fair, that joke was nonsensical enough that I could only follow it up with something else entirely.

I followed it up with ban request.

 

[Delterius]

He registered before me, so I'd be banned instead.

 

[Dreaad]

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

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.

a next-generation action RPG

At least they are being honest about this shit now

Haha, no. Honest is spelled "same old action dating sim".
I don't think they lied about the "action" part in a long time now.

But eh, everyone already knows what their game are all about anyway:

I can't read or hear about Bioware employees saying

they want DA Inquisition to feel like "our" story.

without pangs of bitterness.

 

[Space Satan]

- They're not going to scrap "Bioware-style choices"

Hurrrrrr

The funniest thing is they already said all that before DA2 release in almost exact phrases.

Oh, it's going to feel like "our" story alright.

 

[Space Satan]

Amusing how they suddenly become so user-friendly and even ready to bash their own games, albeit very mildly. Now they are against autodialogues, for tactical combat and no-more-hamburger writing.

 

[NotTale]

What's amusing is how they keep saying the same things. Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3 were heralded as games of great choices that all matter. And now Dragon Age 3 is being heralded as being a game of great choices that all matter, totally unlike those other two. It's gotten to a point where words no longer have meaning.

A less cynical man might even be inclined to say they've realized who their audience originally was, but I guess anyone sane knows that's not really the case. It's just PR bullshit because, as we all know; once you dumb down you can never go back.

 

[Whisky]

Such is life in the Bioware.

 

[DraQ]

A good way to make player care is to make it more of *PLAYER'S* narrative, less "shut up, I'm telling mah story".

They already pulled it twice - with DA2 and ME3. Said exactly same words. Haters, vocal minorities and homophobes had a great time raping biowhore afterwards.

You guys are being way too harsh on the Dragon Age franchise. You should at least give it some credit for being the only midget dwarf porn dating sim in existence.

Yeah, but they cut that in the second game. Yet another thing it did wrong.
