    I love how he spends a total of three words on actual RPG material with, "stats and stuff."

    And that is assuming that "stuff" has anything to do with RPGs.

    Oh Laidlaw, you're such a faggot :deadhorse:

    I think I remember other games doing this 'thematic aesthetic differences' thing with armor looking slightly different for different chars (maybe KOTOR2 with robes for certain Jedi?).

    Actually every RPG does this, there's a version of each armor for each sex.

    Well, I guess after the whole Mass Effect 3 debacle (YOU LIED TO US BIOWARE!!!!!!!11!) the devs have to be more careful.

    Also lol at tinting your armor. Looks like they're aiming to cut out the Nexus Modding part even more.

    He's just speaking to the fanbase, who complained mightily about the fact that they couldn't play paper dolls with their party in DA2. "Stats and stuff?" Who cares! Can I put the hot pirate girl in a mini skirt and gothy black lace stuff?

    I thought these games were supposed to be about the immershun and all that. How is a suit of armour that changes appearance based on the wearer supposed to add to my immershunz? :M Also, could have sworn that the "identity" of a fictional character came down to a lot more than how they look while posing in their armour.

    What a hot load of shit. After it became pretty clear that the companions weren't customisable cause the devs couldn't be bothered making new armour models/editing them for them does Laidlaw really expect us to believe they'll make custom versions of every armour set for each individual companion?

    Why not just have an armor system like Daggerfall and Morrowind used.

    Like, lots of different armor types and different pieces you can equip, and you can wear clothes underneath the armor too! This offers some great customization!

    Oh wait it would actually require some thought on game design, and more effort than just "hurr armor changes appearance based on class".

    Yes, but that required skill points to be spent into the Craft Armor skill and buying the actual dyes.

    So it's gonna be set in Orlais, huh. Oh well, multiplayer hack-and-slash combat might be fun if EA forces a totally different design team on them or something.

    Not iconic enough. They have put thought into this and their thought is: We want cosplayers and fan art and recognizable silhouettes.

    Oh Bioware, I hope you implement multiplayer, which has a large impact on the single player game. Also, please release a facebook dragon age spin off, which unlocks new armor for my npcs. I know I can count on you to deliver an immersive interactive story

    EA might be thinking that dragon age is their new "SIMS"game where faggots buy new expansions(dlcs) for pink outfits.

    To be fair, since he is a drone controlled by EA, you can't really expect him to remember to completely discount all RPG elements if the script has not been handed down by his glorious masters.

    This guy, fuck this guy seriously. I think honestly he's the most irritating frustrating fuck to ever have made a game. It's painful to hear him wriggle and squirm out of any real discussion of merit with talking points and vague innuendos. I really hope this third game fucking bombs and the franchise is scrapped. Maybe then he will finally realize he is shit at making games and become a PR spokes person for a bank or someshit, he'd thrive there.

    Hope that it doesn't resemble the way armor works in Mass Effect 2-3. Also, I like how customising equipment suddenly started to be a feature you can tease the fans with instead of something that is taken for granted.
