Volourn

"More then console players?" Console players tend to be busy doing their stupid console wars of whose is bigger and better and why. They deserved slapping too.

PC gamers deserve to be slapped. repeatedly. Then thrown in the trash. Some of the biggest, whiniest, selfish, pieces of crap losers I've encountered on the internet.

"Morrigan was high int, low wis." How so? She seemed to have a lot of common sense. What she lacked was proper (modernized) social skills since had no problem verbally assaulting people when they annoyed her. And, she wasn't as empathetic as she could be towards strangers.

"Not really?" More intelligent than you that is for sure. That said, I don't see Morrigan opening up a portal to commit mass murder. L0L

"And the return of pause-and-play combat, for all platforms ... I am very happy to see this. " Pause and play was in DA2, too. Nice try, though. What is funny, in some DA3 article section iread some whiny comment about how 'the game looks good but I won't get it because it is turn absed.' LMFAO Stupid horned race is now PC available. L A M E

"I've already explained this and if you want, you can watch my ****ty 2 hour video which has footage of what I'm talking about in it. I could not aim my AOE at the Arishok because of no camera zoom. If you're going to troll at least don't be an **** about it." I'm not watching your video so no need to pimp it out to me. You are still wrong, however, as I had no issue targeting AOEs in DA2. Nice try in trying to spread misinformation.

"In DA2, you basically cannot use radial AOE attacks correctly" Wrong. It's very easy to use them correctly unless your IQ is very low.

WTF is a thundarZ?

This is the DA3, guys, not the suck on Volourn's you know what thread. That is what Off Topic forum is for.

Getaway: Meh. Too much focus on the driving sequences. This a car race with some mvoie thrown in for giggles. Still, entertaining, but not great. The 'ending' is lame. 5/10

It sounds good. It sounds like it gives more options and more variety. How can people find things like that a negative? L0LZ

"Vol spawns and says something crazy." Nothing crazier than what you others post. L0L

I love unapologetic cheesy horror movies!

"It doesn't change the fact that you deserve to be mocked and ridiculed if you still think BG2 was less complex than DA2." The ones who need to be mocked are the ones who think BG2 is more complex because it has halfings. LMAO

The only one baiting is anubite. The guy spams BIo threads and plays BIO games despite how 'horrible' they are. i thoUGht he was done with the DA series after DA2 but then he replayed DA2 and posted a rereview of it just to try to convince people how much hecks then he claimed he was finished with all things DA ANd BIO yet here he is ... spamming the next DA game thread about, you guessed it, how much it is gonna suck. yet, everyone know he will play it. In fact, he likely has his credit card at the ready to preorder it. LMAO

"Let's compare BG2 DAO and DA2, just on the PC level: Human Elf Helf Gnome Halfing Dwarf HOrc Fighter Ranger Paladin Barbarian Cleric Druid Mage Sorcerer Thief Bard Monk 3 kits per class on avg 3 moralities at least (some classes can have any one of the 9 alignments, but a lot of classes are restricted) races * classes * kits 7 * 11 * 3 * 3= 693 If you're a mage, you have your starting spells, which add complexity, but not all that much, so we'll just ignore it. But every single one of those starting character choices matters. Your starting alignment effects your Bhaal spells and other ****, class kits are influential, as is your race and class. I'm not even going to add in complexity by counting the number of ways you can arrange your starting attributes. DAO: Race: 3 Class: 3 Origin: 5* *Not really five, every race->class choice limits you to as few as one origins (mages have one origin, most other have between 2 to 3). If I'm generous, I'll say 3 chocies for every class combination 3*3*3 = 27 DA2 starting complexity? 3 So, again, let's compare: 693 27 3 Numbers don't lie. Now, you might be tempted to say, "But waait a minute! Warriors and rogues have active/spam abilities in DAO/DA2, and what about leveling up in general? Those games might be more complex after level 1!" If you really don't believe me, I can do the combinatorics to show BG2 > DA:O > DA2 in terms of end-game character complexity. I haven't done the math, but I think BG is also > DA:O and DA2 in terms of end-game complexity. If we talk strictly in terms of possible combinations, builds, etc BG/BG2 are more complex in character creation and advancement and offer strictly more options for players. Many of these options aren't illusory (while I would go so far as to say many of DA2's talent trees offer illusory choices or offer zero impact at level up, one example that comes to mind is Varric's talent tree, where you have a choice between 3 persistent abilities that you cannot have all active at once, yet you must purchase all of them to get the final talent - two of those points at least are worthless because there's never any reason to change persistent effects, and hell, if the difference between DA2 and BG2 passivity is fighters have no abilities and every class in DA2 has 10 persistent effects that are passive abilites you merely flip on or off at a whim, then they have not fixed the passivity issue). It's also worth noting that BG/BG2 have more potential party make-ups than DA/DA2. So even at the party level, BG/BG2 is significantly more complex." All this, and it's all meaningless garbage. Why waste your time if you aren't gonna post logically?

"DA2's talent system is more complex and interesting, but that's only faint praise from me - it's still less complex than DA:O which is significantly less complex than Baldur's Gate." Are you kidding? Both were easily more complex than BG. That's insane to think otherwise. but, yeah, those fightersin BG and their awesome options.

"(play NWN, the first, or IWD2 and you'll see reuse of areas in a much grander scale than in DA2)," No, no NWN doesn't do that. "DA2 was bad on a number of levels, and if they failed in their new approach, it's their fault, not the fans." DA2 is better than most RPGs. It is better than either KOTOR, or BG1 for sure. And, it is almost as good as DA1. And, it does it share of things better. The npcs are better, the way combat abilities are gained is better,the story/plot is better, etc. However, it also does certain things worse. *shrug* I'd rate DA1 something like 8.8 and DA2 something like 8.5.

"Well, I like the Witcher games for a reason. And games shouldn't always prop the player up as the chosen one." HUH? The Witcher is a HUGE example of Chosen One stories. L0L

L0L Anubite L0L "I'm critical of their content for two reasons. It's kinda the same Bioware formula they've adhered to for years, and there's too much of the PC being the chosen one in their games. I'm tired of being the sole individual tasked with saving the world, continent, galaxy, whatever." Every game is like that. Heck, PST was literally about the Chosen One. As was both FOs. Any game/story focused on the character (ie. not multi headed monsters ala GAB) is gonna, at mininum, walk the fine line.

"Integrity: (n.) Promising to do A, then failing to deliver A and making fun or denigrating those who remind you of your failure to provide A" Butthurt much?

He did nothing wrong there. The fact he is responsible for Deekin is doing something wrong.

JE is one of their best games. I hope there is a sequel but I highly doubt it will come.

ValueAct sounds like pieces of crap bullies.

"I would definitely say that most of the love the BG series gets is from BG2." No. You would definitely be wrong. BG2 only exists because of how beloved BG1 was. Don't lie and try to pass it off as fact, "So, speculation time. That Dragon we keep seeing is actually an Old God." Mayyyyyyybeeeeeeeeeeee........... P.S. the trailer is good. At least, one of the best if not best dwarf npc ever is returning. And, no, that is not Oghren. THANK THE OLD GOD PARAGONS.
