Late.

People love this crap of being able to use emoticons and expressions. It's like in Second Life where you can pre-program animations that express a certain emotion, like puppy eyes and puppy dance. Revolutionary ? It's certainly revolutionary in a stupid way that was never done before to see someone doing this outside an MMORPG environment. The trouble for someone to create reactions whenever a baby cries is better spent on making worthy dialog choices that will be important for playing the game.

Just wants to copy Fable, i find it to be pathetic, really. You can see it in other things too, like Dogmeat has suddenly become this complete feature of searching loot for you and whatnot, obviously included after Lionhead released some Fable 2's info on what their dog will mean in their game. LAME, Beth.

I won't need a god-damn button to cry.

It's only during the character creation sequence. I'm not sure why everybody is making such a huge damned deal out of this utterly trivial bit of window dressing.

Because they enjoy making a big deal out of trivial window dressing?

No, because they are concentrating on making some useless shit when they should take care of something important - diaogue, c&c, quests... etc.

Here's the thing. There's nothing wrong with cute gimmicks that add flavor in games. The problem is the gimmicks are what is being hyped to us about the game. Radio Pip-boy, I-can't-believe-it's-not-fable2 Dog Meat, crying in char creation, toilet drinking, etc. are all things that are actually being advertised.

Where's the actual game? You don't advertise your gimmicks, because then they aren't neat little "oh cool" moments in the game because you're looking for them. Where the hell is the game?

The reason people are pissed is because they are afraid they know the answer. The gimmicks are the game. Oblivion + gimmicks = Fallout 3. There's nothing else there.

Now it's possible that there is a really great game underneath it all, and Bethesda just doesn't understand how to advertise games. Somehow, I think it's unlikely.

You'll literally emerge from your mother's womb and open your eyes to see a doctor and your father (voiced by Liam Neeson) looking down on you.

The pinnacle of storytelling is emergence from a womb, observe --

Doctor : "It's a bouncing baby boy!" *Shoves finger down throat to clear mucous* *SMACK*
Baby : "WAAA!! That hurts, jerk. Hey, what are you doing with those shears?!? AAAHHH!!! My gigantic second penis... gone... gone..."

I hope it won't sell in the US because of that. Sexual themes, you know...
