yah they were pretty empty. The only reason I'm not irritated is that at least they're completed. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 04/04/2011 01:50:54 AM
I don't personally require romantic relationships in an RPG. I LIKE them, but meh. What irritates me is when developers half-do them, like what happened in NWN2. They have half-completed relationships with intended-but-not-implemented dialogue, plot lines, etc...etc... You know this because the dialog for some of it is IN THE FOLDERS. That's what pisses me off.

Honestly, there are plenty of other things that frustrated me with DA2 that "shallow mostly-unentertaining relationships" is really kind of low on the list. Like how it felt like one giant prologue to the real game, which wasn't in my box it seems...

Bioware: Neglecting the Straight Male Gamer Kronin al'Sulc - 03/04/2011 11:15:30 PM 1619 Views
I think the OP is full of shit. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:23:28 AM 817 Views
Having Anders get pissed at you when you won't sleep with him is stupid. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 01:35:58 AM 847 Views
I'm not disappointed much, but that's because I had low standards LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:47:22 AM 771 Views
I must say, my BGII character is a woman... Legolas - 04/04/2011 10:18:46 PM 746 Views
yah, definitely. that's pretty much WHY I have low romance standards LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 11:58:50 PM 735 Views

If that dude wasn't into Merrill, than he's a fag. *NM* Dan - 04/04/2011 01:28:55 AM 499 Views
They're neglecting the gamer demographic in DA2. Sexuality has nothing to do with it. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 01:33:45 AM 760 Views

Don't worry; you'll be able to get it as overpriced DLC installments! *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 03:03:24 AM 361 Views
YES!!! That just makes me feel so much better!!! *NM* LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 03:34:12 AM 320 Views

So, not a fan? Dannymac - 04/04/2011 06:15:21 AM 838 Views
No. I haven't even finished because I'm so bored. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 08:49:14 AM 771 Views
They could have done a LOT more with all the in-city strife. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 02:32:11 PM 752 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 410 Views

As far as excuses for developer laziness go, that's a pretty poor one. Ghavrel - 10/04/2011 12:02:23 AM 699 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 329 Views
It's not an excuse. Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:36:45 PM 791 Views
Re: It's not an excuse. Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 07:06:11 PM 747 Views
No, it's not that they keep coming... LadyLorraine - 10/04/2011 05:38:30 PM 725 Views

...did you even read my main post in this thread? Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 07:08:31 PM 739 Views
It's not like I said they broke the game for me LadyLorraine - 11/04/2011 07:40:23 PM 800 Views
Something I wonder then: Why is it called Dragon Age "2"? Zalis - 04/04/2011 03:06:46 PM 777 Views
Pretty much. EA likes to churn out franchises. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 07:41:57 PM 328 Views
Huh? Dannymac - 08/04/2011 04:59:49 PM 787 Views
Penny Arcade had a good post on this topic recently beetnemesis - 09/04/2011 09:39:21 PM 1186 Views
Point of fact: in DA: O you're fighting the Fifth Blight, not the First. Ghavrel - 09/04/2011 10:10:17 PM 859 Views
Yeah seriously, the Fifth Blight was pretty lame in retrospect beetnemesis - 11/04/2011 04:01:03 AM 765 Views
That's pretty much true. Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 04:08:48 AM 721 Views
Wow, yeah, you're right. Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:43:40 PM 786 Views
I've actually liked the combat in most Bioware games beetnemesis - 04/04/2011 10:46:12 PM 850 Views
I think the fact that most NPC possibilities go either way is kind of weird. Zalis - 04/04/2011 05:41:04 AM 894 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 936 Views
saying Zevran is kind of a slut... LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 06:14:54 AM 723 Views
On a general note, what annoys me... Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2011 07:19:32 AM 739 Views
In fairness to Bioware, in this game you get different bonuses for "rivalry." *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 08:50:29 AM 355 Views
Oh, that's nice. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2011 09:45:21 PM 747 Views
I will let you know when the game comes down to less than 20 bucks... MightyYT - 04/04/2011 07:50:06 AM 712 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 424 Views
That's just bullshit Fox and Ravens - 04/04/2011 06:42:14 PM 730 Views
i bet he still initiated all his romances Foxhead - 05/04/2011 10:42:40 PM 743 Views
