Game News IGN feel up Dragon Age's Humans

[Hoaxmetal]

Lol, even interface is dark and gritty - check out them blood stains!

Wow...this sounds ridiculously shitty. Giant rats, jumping on the dog bandwagon, and a forced revenge subplot.

Loved the part that went something like "This is a mature game....and you'll know it when you see all the blood splatters!" At this point, it seems like Gaider is making some sort of post-modern deconstruction bullshit geared totally towards the Codex. That, or the industry gone so far down the rabbit hole, the yellow brick road, and through the looking glass that it's head is popping out of it's ass and sucking it's own cock.

your father is an arl, which is probably the Dragon Age equivalent to an earl.

Wtf is this shit. Why not use the goddamn term 'earl'. Jesus. Fantasy shit for you. Hey let's make up titles for the hell of it. So creative. But this is ridiculus. Arl? Yeah remove the e, Joe the Bioware developper. I can see how the design team discussion went.

-So we have this human noble background
-HELL YEAAAHHH
-Yes. So, he is a noble
-LIKE A FIGHTER WITH SWORDS?
-Yes. Son of a noble
-THAT MAKES SENSE
-Yes, I am master of logic and deep reasoning.
-YES
-So, his father is an earl.
-WTF MAN IS THIS SOME SHAKESPEAR SHIT
-You're right this sounds boring, history is so boring
-OUR GAME IS ABOUT DRAGONS AND FUN MAN NOT FUCKING HISTORY CLASSES
-So boring. I love magic
-YES. SO, HIS FATHER IS AN... ARL.
-Oh god you're brilliant
-YES AND SO ARE YOU
-Yes

Fuck me.

EDIT : This would be the perfect opportunity to make a serious look at what nobility is. I don't know, some social comment or something. Ahh fuck this shit. Man this game is going to be the most generic shit ever, can't wait

EDIT2 : I guess this is what they meant when they said they'd go back to their roots, to Baldur's gate... the most generic rpg possible.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

"Probably". I don't think anyone would come up with switching "earl" for arl". They either typed/said arl wrong or it's something else

srsly

"It didn't - it isn't a RPG. Just like Dragon Age, though we still have newsposts about this new shit."

You, sir, a moron. ME is an Action RPG and DA is a RPG. it doens't matter if you don't like it. It fits EVERY qualification of a RPG. Supposed quality of a game is completely irrelevant in classiifying what it is.

A crap sports game is still a sports game. Idiot.

P.S. The whole earl/arl thing is silly. Sound slike a waste of time to change it.

So Volourn really is an AI?

I like flow charts

If i say this sounds fun am i trolling?

Hey Skyway, you logged on the wrong account

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Gotta love how Codexians bitch about next-gen games as much they bitch about Skyways bitching about next-gen games. On every thread, mothafucka!

Yeah I did channel our favorite Hatorade funneler, didn't I?

Felines are for pussies

A panther or a tiger would be way cooler than a little dog.

Dogs are used because IRL they are more natural companions. In a fantasy world though it would be nice to see alternative animal companions.

Also, if they want to rip off ASOIAF then maybe they should have wolves instead

 

[Lesifoere]

Panther, definitely. Then they can also force you to dual-wield scimitars and dye your skin purple.

 

[kris]

I'd prefer a snow leopard though. And dual wield two hand swords.

 

[Shannow]

Awesome! I'd call myself: Nedru od Tzird.

I thik this game will revolutionarize the entire concept of RPG. If I play an Human Noble, I would preffer to stick in my castle and send people to stupid missions like kill rats and save the world. Like the best nobles of rpg's, i will spent half the day sitting in the throne room thinking about my mercenaries and the other half sleeping.

I think you're mistaking real life nobles with ass-kicking bloodthirsty revenge machine nobles in cold, depressive and paper-cut world of DA.

 

[Korgan]

Don't you DARE bitch about rats! RATS! What the fuck is a CRPG without huge motherfucking rats? Do you want Biowhore to get *something* right or not?

 

[poocolator]

But do Rats-done-right justify buying it?

 

[NOVD]

To me, the game looks better than NWN2 in terms of details and such. NWN2 itself sucked, but MotB rocked. So, without seeing the writing, I guess I can't tell much.

Though, there hasn't really been anything enticing said about that. There's no cool soul-eating function, and the Grey Wardens seem a bit lame.

 

[Moray]

But do Rats-done-right justify buying it?

That's a con, not a pro, in my opinion. Yet another cliched convention of fantasy games, right alongside orcs, mead-drinking dwarves, pointy-eared uppity elves, and scantily-clad warrior maidens.

Rats-done-differently - a la PS:T, for instance - is far more appealing. Even if it's not the most expertly executed, even the attempt is better than the same recycled nonsense over and over - which is precisely what DA is appearing to be.

I'd compare it more to NWN since that's the last fantasy RPG that Bioware made. NWN2 was made by Obsidian :masterofobvious:
