I'm not disappointed much, but that's because I had low standards LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 04/04/2011 01:47:22 AM
But it would be stupid regardless of sexuality. The fact that it's a gay relationship sparks people's retard drive, and so you have this huge shitstorm. Nobody would have given a damn if Anders were a chick; they'd just categorize her a slut and move on.

such a large constituent of their players are women and all we want is some relationship (platonic or romantic) building and plot depth.

You must be very disappointed.


And the operative word was "some". I'm not demanding baldur's gate, folks...You've already proven to us that that's NEVER HAPPENING AGAIN.

And yah...the only thing I can think of is Anders' being a man-whore, but as you said, it's just because he did it to a guy. I believe he does the same dialogue to women, and, regardless, it DOES suit his character. Anders is enormously self-centered and takes disagreement and rejection of ANY kind personally and offensively. Which is why I killed him. I KILLED THAT BASTARD DEAD

I think the OP is full of shit. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:23:28 AM 910 Views
Having Anders get pissed at you when you won't sleep with him is stupid. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 01:35:58 AM 935 Views

I must say, my BGII character is a woman... Legolas - 04/04/2011 10:18:46 PM 840 Views
yah, definitely. that's pretty much WHY I have low romance standards LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 11:58:50 PM 821 Views

If that dude wasn't into Merrill, than he's a fag. *NM* Dan - 04/04/2011 01:28:55 AM 544 Views
They're neglecting the gamer demographic in DA2. Sexuality has nothing to do with it. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 01:33:45 AM 856 Views
yah they were pretty empty. The only reason I'm not irritated is that at least they're completed. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:50:54 AM 886 Views
Don't worry; you'll be able to get it as overpriced DLC installments! *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 03:03:24 AM 398 Views
YES!!! That just makes me feel so much better!!! *NM* LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 03:34:12 AM 356 Views

So, not a fan? Dannymac - 04/04/2011 06:15:21 AM 937 Views
No. I haven't even finished because I'm so bored. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 08:49:14 AM 873 Views
They could have done a LOT more with all the in-city strife. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 02:32:11 PM 836 Views
I don't feel bad paying for it, solely cause I never paid for DA1 *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 04/04/2011 10:01:43 PM 456 Views

As far as excuses for developer laziness go, that's a pretty poor one. Ghavrel - 10/04/2011 12:02:23 AM 792 Views
Yah this is what I was talking about. The repeat of tunnel systems in totally unrelated areas. *NM* LadyLorraine - 10/04/2011 05:32:11 PM 370 Views
It's not an excuse. Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:36:45 PM 875 Views
Re: It's not an excuse. Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 07:06:11 PM 829 Views
No, it's not that they keep coming... LadyLorraine - 10/04/2011 05:38:30 PM 813 Views

...did you even read my main post in this thread? Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 07:08:31 PM 826 Views
It's not like I said they broke the game for me LadyLorraine - 11/04/2011 07:40:23 PM 913 Views
Something I wonder then: Why is it called Dragon Age "2"? Zalis - 04/04/2011 03:06:46 PM 871 Views
Pretty much. EA likes to churn out franchises. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 07:41:57 PM 366 Views
Huh? Dannymac - 08/04/2011 04:59:49 PM 876 Views
Penny Arcade had a good post on this topic recently beetnemesis - 09/04/2011 09:39:21 PM 1279 Views
Point of fact: in DA: O you're fighting the Fifth Blight, not the First. Ghavrel - 09/04/2011 10:10:17 PM 941 Views
Yeah seriously, the Fifth Blight was pretty lame in retrospect beetnemesis - 11/04/2011 04:01:03 AM 850 Views
That's pretty much true. Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 04:08:48 AM 818 Views
Wow, yeah, you're right. Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:43:40 PM 878 Views
I've actually liked the combat in most Bioware games beetnemesis - 04/04/2011 10:46:12 PM 941 Views
I think the fact that most NPC possibilities go either way is kind of weird. Zalis - 04/04/2011 05:41:04 AM 989 Views
Zevran was really the main one that would hit on you no matter what. Kronin al'Sulc - 04/04/2011 06:13:04 AM 1032 Views
saying Zevran is kind of a slut... LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 06:14:54 AM 813 Views
On a general note, what annoys me... Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2011 07:19:32 AM 822 Views
In fairness to Bioware, in this game you get different bonuses for "rivalry." *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 08:50:29 AM 394 Views
Oh, that's nice. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2011 09:45:21 PM 835 Views
I will let you know when the game comes down to less than 20 bucks... MightyYT - 04/04/2011 07:50:06 AM 802 Views
Yea, the times I do play this game just gives me a longing for DA *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 04/04/2011 09:58:03 PM 470 Views
That's just bullshit Fox and Ravens - 04/04/2011 06:42:14 PM 811 Views
i bet he still initiated all his romances Foxhead - 05/04/2011 10:42:40 PM 841 Views
