On a general note, what annoys me... Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 04/04/2011 07:19:32 AM
I wanted to get Zevran to the point where he'd train my male Rogue as an Assassin, but then had to derail his flirt train in the process. That's a little annoying, but not something I'd write a strongly-worded letter about.


...is that you gain bonuses from good relations with NPCs. Added to the fact that the best way to augment any character's appreciation of you is by agreeing with them or acting according to their values, I get the feeling the game encourages me to be a sycophantic scumbag, changing my tune depending on who I'm talking to or who is around.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

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 939 Views
I'm not disappointed much, but that's because I had low standards LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:47:22 AM 860 Views
I must say, my BGII character is a woman... Legolas - 04/04/2011 10:18:46 PM 844 Views
yah, definitely. that's pretty much WHY I have low romance standards LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 11:58:50 PM 823 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
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 890 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 939 Views
No. I haven't even finished because I'm so bored. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 08:49:14 AM 876 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 878 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 815 Views
Re: No, it's not that they keep coming... Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:41:30 PM 833 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 880 Views
Penny Arcade had a good post on this topic recently beetnemesis - 09/04/2011 09:39:21 PM 1282 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 821 Views
Wow, yeah, you're right. Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:43:40 PM 882 Views
I've actually liked the combat in most Bioware games beetnemesis - 04/04/2011 10:46:12 PM 944 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 816 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 838 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 812 Views
i bet he still initiated all his romances Foxhead - 05/04/2011 10:42:40 PM 843 Views
