Both. Anders is the vilest playable character I can think of right now.DA2 had its problems. But mainly because EA forced Bioware to make it in less a year. Not because of woke bs.
Can confirm that the clues given in origins as well as the various theories were more fun then being told the actual answer. This is why i no longer wish to know wtf is up with the black city and what lurks inside, no doubt the twist will be something silly like solas was the maker all along and woke up when the tevinter mages burst in on his nap time.You're not supposed to. That's one of the mysteries.I still don't know what the darkspawn and the Archdemon's deal is.
I don't think they're necessarily trying to ape Marvel movies directly. A lot of these video game writers were adolescents/teens when Joss Whedon was king, so his quip-heavy writing style (which yes, then became part of the Marvel approach, thanks to his involvement) is baked into their brains.Vidya games always seem like they're trying to jump on bandwagons far too late. Doing the whole Marvel-esque thing (which is absolutely true, video game writers in the last few years have visibly tried to ape that style) when in 2024 even normies largely hate it and the Marvel movies are going into the toilet.
It's too late to change direction now.

Which is funny, since he got canceled years ago.
Oh, couldn't agree more. Whedon came to develop his style through considerable study and knowledge of other styles, film, and literature as a whole, and I think you could feel that foundation in the best of what he wrote. There was more 'there' there. The new guard instead used him as a starting point and skipped everything else, and we're left with superficial, joyless, tensionless buffoonery as a result.I don't think they're necessarily trying to ape Marvel movies directly.

The difference is that Whedon, even though I don't particularly like his writing style, has a sharp wit and can actually be rather funny, especially during his peak (Firefly imo).
All these millennial writers are trying to imitate his style with nothing of substance. It's all so horribly bland and unwilling to take risks. These are writers who have nothing to say, no ambitions of their own, too hampered to say anything offensive or interesting.
So what do you have left when it's not art, it's not passion, and it's not even entertaining enough to be called entertainment?
It's just consumerist garbage.
both revealed and released on the same year? huh....

It's better than announcing the game 6 years in advance.Wasn't FO4 revealed in June at E3, gameplay presentation then and there and released November that year?
More companies should do that. Reveal, show gameplay, release in 4 or 5 months. Instead of how it is now, announce a project 2 or 3 years before the first trailer and then wait a year or two for actual release.
All dlcs for Inquisition are pretty good - Jaws of Hakkon is how all areas in the game should've been done, Descent is the best 'dungeon', and Trespasser is the real ending.Anyone know if I need to play the Dragon Age 3 DLC to be caught up? I never bothered. Looks like that bald elf that only shows up in 3 is back.
What a steaming pile of shit this game was.
I was hate playing it, and it was before I would quit games, suffer through anything.What a steaming pile of shit this game was.
Yes, but how and why did you get through it all?
Trespasser pretty much tells you why he is back, with absolute lore rape included too.Anyone know if I need to play the Dragon Age 3 DLC to be caught up? I never bothered. Looks like that bald elf that only shows up in 3 is back.
The lore behind the Fade, Solas, the elves and their gods is a pretty interesting take on the genre, it was the least of Inquisitions problems.Trespasser pretty much tells you why he is back, with absolute lore rape included too.Anyone know if I need to play the Dragon Age 3 DLC to be caught up?

Even the part that remains is only good thanks to its execution. It doesn't need to be original.The entirety of Dragon Age could be retconned except for some parts of DA1 and it would be a massive improvement.
