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 1719 Views
I think the OP is full of shit. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:23:28 AM 914 Views
Having Anders get pissed at you when you won't sleep with him is stupid. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 01:35:58 AM 940 Views
I'm not disappointed much, but that's because I had low standards LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:47:22 AM 861 Views
I must say, my BGII character is a woman... Legolas - 04/04/2011 10:18:46 PM 845 Views
yah, definitely. that's pretty much WHY I have low romance standards LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 11:58:50 PM 824 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 860 Views

Don't worry; you'll be able to get it as overpriced DLC installments! *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 03:03:24 AM 400 Views
YES!!! That just makes me feel so much better!!! *NM* LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 03:34:12 AM 358 Views

So, not a fan? Dannymac - 04/04/2011 06:15:21 AM 940 Views
No. I haven't even finished because I'm so bored. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 08:49:14 AM 877 Views
They could have done a LOT more with all the in-city strife. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 02:32:11 PM 840 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 458 Views

As far as excuses for developer laziness go, that's a pretty poor one. Ghavrel - 10/04/2011 12:02:23 AM 795 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 372 Views
It's not an excuse. Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:36:45 PM 880 Views
Re: It's not an excuse. Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 07:06:11 PM 833 Views
No, it's not that they keep coming... LadyLorraine - 10/04/2011 05:38:30 PM 818 Views

...did you even read my main post in this thread? Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 07:08:31 PM 829 Views
It's not like I said they broke the game for me LadyLorraine - 11/04/2011 07:40:23 PM 915 Views
Something I wonder then: Why is it called Dragon Age "2"? Zalis - 04/04/2011 03:06:46 PM 874 Views
Pretty much. EA likes to churn out franchises. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 07:41:57 PM 368 Views
Huh? Dannymac - 08/04/2011 04:59:49 PM 881 Views
Penny Arcade had a good post on this topic recently beetnemesis - 09/04/2011 09:39:21 PM 1285 Views
Point of fact: in DA: O you're fighting the Fifth Blight, not the First. Ghavrel - 09/04/2011 10:10:17 PM 944 Views
Yeah seriously, the Fifth Blight was pretty lame in retrospect beetnemesis - 11/04/2011 04:01:03 AM 854 Views
That's pretty much true. Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 04:08:48 AM 824 Views
Wow, yeah, you're right. Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:43:40 PM 883 Views
I've actually liked the combat in most Bioware games beetnemesis - 04/04/2011 10:46:12 PM 945 Views
I think the fact that most NPC possibilities go either way is kind of weird. Zalis - 04/04/2011 05:41:04 AM 993 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 1035 Views
saying Zevran is kind of a slut... LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 06:14:54 AM 818 Views
On a general note, what annoys me... Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2011 07:19:32 AM 827 Views
In fairness to Bioware, in this game you get different bonuses for "rivalry." *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 08:50:29 AM 395 Views
Oh, that's nice. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2011 09:45:21 PM 839 Views
I will let you know when the game comes down to less than 20 bucks... MightyYT - 04/04/2011 07:50:06 AM 806 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 472 Views
That's just bullshit Fox and Ravens - 04/04/2011 06:42:14 PM 814 Views
i bet he still initiated all his romances Foxhead - 05/04/2011 10:42:40 PM 843 Views
