But that's not what I said? I don't care if you beat the game, or how you beat it. I don't hunt achievements and I am not a completionist, I will drop games I no longer enjoy.
The aliens design may have been ok (nothing bad or good), but I didn't like that they were so damn boring.
DAI is really good game yo
DA:I is better than DA2:Return to shit mountain.
Criticising Bioware is like beating a dead horse now. But their remaining pozzed fans deserve everything they get. No one praises DA2 anyway.
I do. It's Bioware's best written game by far, with the possible exception of BG1.
Not in a million years.
Both of these statements are true.
I replayed it recently and IMO it doesn't hold up. It's not as shit as the next two but you can see the signs of where it'd all go wrong, not least being the game's proto SJW tone. All the often-literally-gay shit in Inquisition and the fucking stupid writing and lore from Inquisition and Trespasser were, according to Gaider, always planned too, though whether that's true or he's just talking out his ass to save EA's face is up for debate. Either way the lore's such a garbled incoherent mess wholly removed from each game, per game, that I guess you can still treat Origins as a standalone.
This belongs on one of those scam mobile game ads.
I disagree. One of the few things that the franchise seems to have maintained is its disgusting art direction, which governs everything from the design of weapons and armor, faces, architecture, etc.
The actual 2d art in the games is respectable, but the gameplay graphics themselves are atrocious. They are meant to be seen from far away, so everything is designed to be big and recognizable.
Sword blades look like clubs, armor has grotesquely outsized pieces. Stuff looks like its sourced from a MMO.
Also, the devs apparently can't design an attractive face if their careers depended on it.
I'm not an art guy, but I'm sure someone with the proper background could break it down more.
TL;DR: Basically whatever this style is. Also a beardless dwarf as a legacy character. Goddammit.
The latter probably since DAO didn't hint at that sort of elf-centered narrative being at the center of everything from human myth (a.i. the Black City) to the origins of the Dwarves (a.i. titans and their history). Current lore is all just so very lame and forced, while DAO at least had the typical derivative fantasy setting which is serviceable and can be cozy with the sort of familiarity that it provides.
Also have the chantry, which turned from "both sides have good and bad" to basically "Chantry is pure evil". Pride demons were treated as potential continent ending threats, meanwhile they're just walking around as random mooks in DA:I. They didn't leave the mystery of the "tranquil" alone, because they had to make it into "the tranquil knows everything but is essentially a golem that does what it's told and its a living hell trapped in a body you can't control" in DA2. DA:I had to make it even more absurd by adding "new facts" about how/when/why its used, I guess to meet the "AWESOME" quota or some shit.
They also made it to where becoming tranquil isn't a very heavy decision that's taken voluntarily to repel demons, but a forced torture to turn people into cheap labor who can still get possessed by demons if they feel like doing it anyway. The Chantry goes from an organization of good, bad, and neutral to having everyone in it either be cartoon villains or, if they're not evil, atheists who hate the rest of it (Leliana in Inquisition) or helpless retards (everyone else). Besides the putrid SJW themes, Inquisition's setting is everyone is evil or dumb but the Qunari and the Dalish, and everything that's ever existed was made by a conclave of shit-for-brained Elf wizards who were also evil or dumb.
It's kinda inevitable because of their dumb decision to have several holes in the sky that dropped high level demons everywhere. DA2 all for it issues had the right idea of not trying to beat DAO's world ending event. Instead of World Ending event was Prevent a Civil War ... Imagine if Inquisition was about the Paladin x Mages War, that's enough plot for entire game , you could even have more Demons involved if they wanted.
Women might hate men, but there's one more thing they hate even more than men: Other women.
They hate Codexers more.
