In Skyrim's defense, there are probably a lot more quests, so it is more justiable that they be "unrelated" or "MMOy" - but even a lot of Skyrim's quests seldom struck me as MMO-like. Even if they were simple or boring in many ways, I never read a book and was prompted to then kill X/10 bears... That's more like a WoW quest.

14 years later, the decline is complete. I hope EAWare burns along with their degenerate fanbase. Some of my friends still work at the Edmonton office, I wonder when they'll be quitting.

That word is what sums up so much of the bile and cynicism about anything bioware releases. It's attached to EA, the holy evil of so many gamers minds, although with ubisoft making the rounds, perhaps EA is merely part of a pantheon of greater demons. Bioware is trash because EA owns them, or so the argument goes. They hated on ME3, which was almost as good as ME2 save the ending, which was a tiny sliver of the entire journey but was made out to be the sum total of the entire experience. The tantrums and emo spazzing still brings a headache to my minds eye. DA2 was genuinely terrible imo, but I did not hate it going in just because bioware was attached to EA, I hated it because it was days of our lives in kirkwall, a boring anti epic mess of a game that was tiny in scope. But make no mistake, I am NOT a hater, like so many here seem to be. Hope springs eternal, I am looking forward to this game a great deal. I do not accept that the sins of the father pass to their son, that everything and everyone and every project under the aegis of EA is garbage squared. I prefer to judge each project on its own merits, because that is how it should be done.

Deep in your subconscious mind spreading lies.
“In the modern world all terrors could be gutted by simple use of the transitive axiom of quality. Some fears were justified, of course (you don't drive when you're too plowed to see, don't extend the hand of friendship to snarling dogs) but until now he had not believed that some fears were larger than comprehension, apocalyptic and nearly paralyzing. This equation was insoluble. The act of moving forward at all became heroism. ”

Something about this thread reminded me of this quote.
I honestly hope the writers of Biowarian stories secretly laugh at their fandom and create purposefully terrible material just to see how far they can push people into madness, like some sort of sick experiment of the deviant quality that can be infused into horny teenagers. The alternative that they believe they have talent.... is frightening, like watching healthy young people degenerate into slimy pools of disease as the fast food diets take their toll. When at last their pitifully strained bodies betray them, they flail around taking down everyone close by them in piles of debt, of depression and anxiety. Perpetuating a cycle disgusting degenerates.

I need a cigarette.

I installed the rape mod with the animu jiggly tits and ass in skyrim and spend 3 hours raping everything...

I raped the jarl Balgruuf in front of his son. The jarl scream "NO! NOT LIKE THIS"

I raped the corpses of my enemies...

But nothing rapes harder than Tumblr-age: the cisquisition




Im sorry for all of you guys who preorder this instead of glorious witcher 3.

I don't doubt that they do it on purpose, because such cliche writing is what sells in the real world. Etiher you get creepy shitty writing like Twilight, or you get porny, creepy wrtiing like "50 shades". And every bookstore I go into, has them listed as their no. 1 bestsellers. Well written books might get awards, but badly written books get all the money nowadays. And if you are a game maker, you don't want literary awards, you want to sell games. So you tailor the writing to your fanbase. And while computer games can have some interesting uses (I recall them being used in memory therapy for dementia), they are, in my opinion, the entertainment equivalent of fast food.

The end of every place

??? When was this

Review scores are popamole, we'll never have them.
I thought we had the 3 star rating:

1- its shit.

2- good for what it is.

3- buy extras for your friends.
Close. We have the 4-star rating system:

1- It's absolute shite.

2- Good for what it is.

3- Bestest game evah! Buy extras for your friends.

4- Fallout




(4-star - bad, fair, good, exceptional - is actually the best point rating system, since it still retains some nuance but it forces everyone using it into a common appraisal line no matter who is using it. One person's definition of "good" will be different than another's, but they'll be close enough to share common discussion. Which is quite unlike one person's definition of "8".)

I've just seen Legend of Grimrock 2 scored 7,75 on Gameinformer.
Meanwhile DA:I is already pushing an average of 9 or something.

They truly are shameless.
Still better than corrupted politicians, but corrupted and undignified nonetheless.

Corrupt politicians are earning millions of dollars and having hot candle wax dripped on their bare asses by high-end escorts.

Corrupt journalists are getting plastic statues at PR events and a quick lick from Zoe Quinn.

Love you guys, one and all.

Also I just got here, and this thread already has found an abode in a very warm place in my very small heart.

http://www.polygon.com/2014/11/12/7...isition-s-greatest-achievement-is-its-writing

Dunno if you guys have seen this since I kinda just skipped to the most recent page, but hot diggity doo dog! Looks like the press is pretty excited about the next Bioware installation. It's writing is a "marriage of form and function", and it's a "product of BioWare getting really good at the things the company has been doing for a very long time."

I don't know about all of you, but between the free doritos and extensive TORlike cutscenes, I'm super excited. :thumbsup:

Can they just cut all romance options and use the resources on something else, or atleast make it subtle... I mean they almost made it the main feature of the game, and the characters are mostly recognizable by transgender they belong to... And that bull scene just a cherry on the top... I have seen some 70s german porn with better writting...

How pronounced is the feature in the game, though? It's obviously a big selling point with the most annoying Biotards, so they talk a lot about it (and much more than should be warranted outside of japanese dating sims) but e.g. DA:O wasn't exactly in your face about the romances if you didn't want them.

It was a little bit, to some extent, like for example some pairings might talk to you as soon as you enter the camp if they thought you were close enough to jesus (or satan) and there marks the obvious point where you can "officialize" the romance, though you could reject it or just not mind if you wanted.

I dunno how big of a feature it is though but I read all sorts of articles relating to the subject last year, about how Morrigan isn't a companion and can't be romanced and how your warden doesn't have a baby with whoever they fucked blah blah blah... So I'm guessing fairly big.
