Game News IGN feel up Dragon Age's Humans

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.

Fuck you.

Be nicer.

What about a rat companion?

 

[Qkieu]

But didn't you have a giant rat companion in Fallout2?

... oh wait.

Geez whatever happened to creating your own characters.

Geez whatever happened to creating your own characters.

Most games, even the beacons of rpgdom slot you into being a certain character type. You were forced to be a vault dweller in FO no? You were forced into being an undead guy waking up in a mortuary in PST no? It's what these games let you do after initial creation that is important. Are you free to play most any style you want or are you shoehorned all along?

 

[Emotional Vampire]

Exactly. And that why Halo is a role-playing game.

 

[Talonfire]

Geez whatever happened to creating your own characters.

That requires too much effort on the player's part.

Speaking of canine companions and fucking [/COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

That reminded me of a sentencing hearing I saw, back when I was a lawyer in the criminal courts, waiting for my client to get called up. The guy was charged with fucking his dog. He had the legal aid duty lawyer representing him, and whilst she was a competent lawyer (like most of them - they do more small-case hearings than anyone else, so they're decent at what they do) she was very much the type that had a template for everything and just fitted a chosen template to the particular scenario and would go from there without thinking much about it. On this occasion she had obviously gone 'hmmm...bestiality...that's a sexual offence...I'll apply my 'minor sex offences' template'. Having done so, she obviously hit the dot point marked 'inform the court of any current reconciliation with victim', and spent about 15 minutes telling the court a long story about how the victim seems to have forgiven the offender, and how the two have reconciled, coming 'back together' as it were. Unfortunately, the Magistrate felt professionally barred from giggling, and the lawyer didn't turn around to see everyone else in the courtroom falling over and pissing themselves with laughter.

She's still known over here as the 'dog-fucker-case duty-lawyer'.

Anyway, about dog 'companions' being more natural...they're a hell of a lot more natural than some fucking mutant-elf that acts like she's 12 and is still presented as a love interest to ensure that Bioware reaps the paedophile market, and keeps fucking whining the whole time about the loss of her wings, those same wings and lack of flying ability that every other character in the game does withou...Yeah, I'd take a dog 'companion' anyday over Arie 2.0

and keeps fucking whining the whole time about the loss of her wings, those same wings and lack of flying ability that every other character in the game does withou..

Thing is, they never had wings in the first place.

If you had a huge dick that one day gets shrunken to 1/3 of it's size, you're going to whine a lot more than people that had small dicks in the first place
