Dragon Age: Origins is a good game. Also, I didn't mind Deep Roads that much, because I'm not a whiny little bitch.

Axioms is the RPG the Codex has been waiting for, and it will win RPGCodex GotY in 2024 or 2025.

Dynamic living world, maximum choice and consequence, no graphical frills, can go full combat or no combat character, technically can be a party based RPG, turn based world *and* combat, and it is even unwoke, although that wasn't a design consideration.

Okay, let the rage and denial flow. But I'm right.

The Steller Blade model should have used a British woman or one recommended by Sweet Baby Inc. I mean just look at these buxom, voluptuous, and totally unrealistically curvy body proportions on this RL woman:



Giving hetro men of the world the impression that there are beautiful women out there.

British women CAN have good bodies. Their faces, otoh, are the problem. Also in what universe is the girl above "voluptuous"? She is ok though.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Serus That was part of the trolling. In the sense that everything is so soy these days, that this is what passes for voluptuous. When in my day it was Sophia Vergara & Salma Hayek.

She's bald.

Just finished Planescape Torment because of the influence of seeing being praised so hard on the Codex.

It´s boring and the RPG is almost non existent.

Your nostalgia vs the reality.
In fairness, Planescape: Torment was hindered by its utilization of Bioware's execrable Infinity Engine, doomed to have terrible combat and poor exploration. :M

Chris Avellone's sophomoric philosophical logorrhea is in all ways inferior to simple, functional a to b adventure writing, like you see in something like baldur's gate 1 for example.

D&D 4th edition was a masterwork of design and it's criminal we never got any cRPGs based around it.

Was ready to agree with this until you cited BG1 as an example of functional adventure writing. Something about the writing in every BioWare game drives me insane.

Among the 8 types of magic schools, Transmutation is the most interesting due to the manipulation of physics and matter itself; Necromancy is overrated.

Tactics did more damage to Brotherhood of Steel lore in its opening cutscene than Bethesda did in all of Fallout 3.
