[QUOTE=Zezibesh;34806742]Hamburger Helper has a bad attitude but I can't really recall anything she's actually ruined DA2 was EA, and Orzammar (which was written by her) was pretty good in DA:O[/QUOTE] I'm sure the romance in DA2 was written by her, wasn't it? Also, I know that Orzammar was a cool part of the game, but I forget the specific parts that made it awesome like that. Also also Crpto, there's still gonna be space to explore in ME3, i'm sure of it.
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;34806742]I can't really recall anything she's actually ruined[/QUOTE] She wrote Anders which was the worst character in DA2, no not because of his aggressive flirting, but because of his 'lol look gais i'm an abomination now, and fuck everything'. The entire Anders/Justice debacle was hilariously bad. Not only that but she wrote Sebastian as well, one of the most boring character in the game, not necessarily poorly written just boring. Like it took her fifteen minutes to pump it out. Not to mention the smuggler story in ToR (at least in the beta) was wonderfully bland and predictable. She is used more as an example of what to hate, as she is very widely known as a pusher of the 'all-bi' romance style that DA2 shit out.
[QUOTE=Broguts;34806052]Guys, guys, crack idea here. What if we get a mass effect RTS, that took place during the first contact wars?[/QUOTE] people always reference the first contact war as an idea for a spin off game, but that war was in my opinion incredibly uninteresting, and very little actually happened in it.
[QUOTE=Crpto2007;34806811]so wait is this game basically going to be war on earth? no more exploring space? Not that I care really. I would actually like to see a good alien invasion game.[/QUOTE] No. Most of the game is set on the other planets recruiting different species etc.
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;34806709]Pretty much all of Dragon Age 2's problems can be traced back to the fact that it was forced out the door after only 15 months of development. Origins was under development for the best part of 3 years and that still had problems (notably the HORRID Fade segment in the mages guild and the memory leaks in Orzammar). I disagree with her "fast forward button" idea, just playing the game on easy should be enough if you want to breeze through it. Though I also dislike the option to skip dialouge and would prefer if you could pause cutscenes so you don't miss anything. The shit BSN and Reddit did was just uncalled for though.[/QUOTE] I'm not sure if more development time would have improved the gameplay. Maybe we wouldn't have those stupid timeskips though

Impeccable logic.

Everyone in DA2 who wasn't a dwarf wanting Hawke's dick from the moment you chose a dialogue option that wasn't "FUCK YOUR PROBLEMS" was insanely irritating. Not to mention that Anders and Justice were two relatively cool and unique characters in DA:A with funny and interesting personalities and to see them both become one communal asshole with all the likeability of a chopping block in the sequel was borderline insulting.
Just tried Infiltrator with Darth and Breen. Pretty cool class, but I think with Widow it would be even better.
[QUOTE=Someoneuduno;34806943]Ugh if that's so fuck her. Everyone in DA2 who wasn't a dwarf wanting Hawke's dick from the moment you chose a dialogue option that wasn't "FUCK YOUR PROBLEMS" was insanely irritating.[/QUOTE] That was my largest issue, and still is, with the 'all-bi' romance setup. It's a laughable way to portray characters and sexuality, and effectively turns romance in video games to be pandering to yaoi fangirls instead of a way to become deeply invested in a character. Having a bisexual character is great, if they're written as a bisexual. Turning Merrill (an obviously straight character) and Anders (an obviously gay character, well gay in DA2 anyway) into romance options for everyone, only serves the festering pile of shit that is BSN and it's drones.
[QUOTE=tommo400;34806849]people always reference the first contact war as an idea for a spin off game, but that war was in my opinion incredibly uninteresting, and very little actually happened in it.[/QUOTE] It seems uninteresting because they haven't really gone into much detail on it.
[QUOTE=Dr Bob;34807064]It seems uninteresting because they haven't really gone into much detail on it.[/QUOTE] To me it seems fucking uninteresting because the First contact war implies only two species e.g. Humans and Turians, just to mention one downside.
[QUOTE=Dr Bob;34807064]It seems uninteresting because they haven't really gone into much detail on it.[/QUOTE] 3 space battles and the turians bombarding cities from orbit doesn't really sound like a great game. It could be a good prequel movie though.
[QUOTE=mercurius;34807106]To me it seems fucking uninteresting because the First contact war implies only two species e.g. Humans and Turians, just to mention one downside.[/QUOTE] I'm fucking interested in seeing what exactly went down.
[QUOTE=Dr Bob;34807165]I'm fucking interested in seeing what exactly went down.[/QUOTE] The comics about young Illusive man are a good read for you then. Don't expect too much depth though, might as well read the wikia. [editline]21st February 2012[/editline] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMcVZQI6ybw[/media] I thought it was appropriate because of the whole Hepler stir Bioware is pulling. They make it sound like hard-core cyber bullying.
[QUOTE=Dr Bob;34807165]I'm fucking interested in seeing what exactly went down.[/QUOTE] well basically hoomanz was enjoying spess one day when aleenz came and shooted teh hoomanz so teh hoomanz shot thea leenz then other aleenz came war ended that is basically the first contact war in a nutshell
if it an adult is getting seriously angered over cyber-bullying I really have no sympathy If it were a teenage girl getting cyber-bullied to the brink of suicidal thoughts then maybe I'd feel sorry

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;34806709]notably the HORRID Fade segment[/QUOTE] What was wrong with it? I didn't notice anything really bad about it.
