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 1793 Views
I think the OP is full of shit. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:23:28 AM 987 Views
Having Anders get pissed at you when you won't sleep with him is stupid. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 01:35:58 AM 1008 Views
I'm not disappointed much, but that's because I had low standards LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:47:22 AM 917 Views
I must say, my BGII character is a woman... Legolas - 04/04/2011 10:18:46 PM 906 Views
yah, definitely. that's pretty much WHY I have low romance standards LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 11:58:50 PM 876 Views

If that dude wasn't into Merrill, than he's a fag. *NM* Dan - 04/04/2011 01:28:55 AM 574 Views
They're neglecting the gamer demographic in DA2. Sexuality has nothing to do with it. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 01:33:45 AM 925 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 948 Views
Don't worry; you'll be able to get it as overpriced DLC installments! *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 03:03:24 AM 435 Views
YES!!! That just makes me feel so much better!!! *NM* LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 03:34:12 AM 390 Views

So, not a fan? Dannymac - 04/04/2011 06:15:21 AM 997 Views
No. I haven't even finished because I'm so bored. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 08:49:14 AM 941 Views
They could have done a LOT more with all the in-city strife. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 02:32:11 PM 909 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 494 Views

As far as excuses for developer laziness go, that's a pretty poor one. Ghavrel - 10/04/2011 12:02:23 AM 861 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 410 Views
It's not an excuse. Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:36:45 PM 946 Views
Re: It's not an excuse. Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 07:06:11 PM 907 Views
No, it's not that they keep coming... LadyLorraine - 10/04/2011 05:38:30 PM 875 Views
Re: No, it's not that they keep coming... Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:41:30 PM 906 Views
...did you even read my main post in this thread? Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 07:08:31 PM 890 Views
It's not like I said they broke the game for me LadyLorraine - 11/04/2011 07:40:23 PM 980 Views
Something I wonder then: Why is it called Dragon Age "2"? Zalis - 04/04/2011 03:06:46 PM 947 Views
Pretty much. EA likes to churn out franchises. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 07:41:57 PM 402 Views
Huh? Dannymac - 08/04/2011 04:59:49 PM 950 Views
Penny Arcade had a good post on this topic recently beetnemesis - 09/04/2011 09:39:21 PM 1355 Views
Point of fact: in DA: O you're fighting the Fifth Blight, not the First. Ghavrel - 09/04/2011 10:10:17 PM 1016 Views
Yeah seriously, the Fifth Blight was pretty lame in retrospect beetnemesis - 11/04/2011 04:01:03 AM 922 Views
That's pretty much true. Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 04:08:48 AM 894 Views
Wow, yeah, you're right. Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:43:40 PM 950 Views
I've actually liked the combat in most Bioware games beetnemesis - 04/04/2011 10:46:12 PM 1009 Views
I think the fact that most NPC possibilities go either way is kind of weird. Zalis - 04/04/2011 05:41:04 AM 1055 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 1089 Views
saying Zevran is kind of a slut... LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 06:14:54 AM 878 Views
On a general note, what annoys me... Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2011 07:19:32 AM 893 Views
In fairness to Bioware, in this game you get different bonuses for "rivalry." *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 08:50:29 AM 429 Views
Oh, that's nice. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2011 09:45:21 PM 899 Views
I will let you know when the game comes down to less than 20 bucks... MightyYT - 04/04/2011 07:50:06 AM 869 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 509 Views
That's just bullshit Fox and Ravens - 04/04/2011 06:42:14 PM 871 Views
i bet he still initiated all his romances Foxhead - 05/04/2011 10:42:40 PM 913 Views
