"The dwarf inheritance quest in DAO was terrible, because you weren't given enough information and couldn't find any to make a rational decision." pay better attention next time

DTU is the D7D game that Interplay tried to do ebfore giving up and begging BIo to save their D&D license. L0L It was trash. As much as I pick on AP, it's nowhwere enar as bad. DTU is one of the few games in existnce that is really worth a 2 out of 10 or lower.

I think people just aren't aware of what a 'no fly zone' is. It's not just about shooting down planes. I also fine that certain characters that abstained from the vote are now whining about it even though if they have voted no the UN wouldn't be able to act. I'm looking at YOU Russia.

"Nice straw man." Not as nice as yours.

Considering he did SPOILER and SPOILER it's not exactly far fetched he'd turn to SPOILER.

"A few Renegade option lines were better than the entire conversation with Myrkul? Sorry honey" Did I say better. Can't you read, sweet cheeks? "Don't know about the Dwarven origin story." I didn't say anythuing about the origin story. I say the noble quest line. The choice between the two potentials was well written because the 'right' choice wasn't clear cut. That's an example of good writing. "But in any case, and more importantly, are you equating popularity with quality?" Are you equating not being popular with quality? ie. If something is popular it automatically makes it crap? That's just a same as populairty means good. Being good has nothing to with how popular soemthing is. Hell, I've lots of things that aren't popular and hate things thing are popular. *shrug* Irrelevant. "I'm sure Ulysses would be boring to the majority of the world's population. " O RLY? One of the most popualr stories is disliked that much/ LMAO There's a reason why Ulysses' story is retold constantly - it's because people find it the opposite of boring. L0L

Kreia, and marburg don't belong there. Kreia is just repeetive spam = force is evil must be destroyed, and Marburg lol.. that's from AP? L0LZ Now.. Myrkul.. he's awesome. But, I'd argue plenty of wiritng in BIO games can match it. Some examples include the Arishok in DA2, the dream versions of Bhaal-Irenicus in BG2, the writing for Shepard's chaarcter in the ME series (espicially the bad ass version), the dwarven nobility quest line in DA1. Youa re confusing pyshco long winded with babble 9Kreia) as deep or inetretsing when it can be so juvenile. Even the over the top of bad ass Shepard has better writing. Writing shouldn't have to come across as some disctionary or historil text to be of high quality. That's a myth. If your writing bores the audience it emans you failed at writing. Period.

"Baley, Musopticon, Schmart and Pixiesrock" Who?

"A certain conversion with a certain god in Mask of the Betrayer was far better than the entire collective sum of all Bioware's writing since KotOR." No. But, it was awesome. P.S. There's certain writings in DA2 just as good. And, some much, much worse...

Well.. there is an 'end boss'. Though I wouldn't say it's 'epcily evilly iconic'm ala the archdemon. And, at least in DA2 the entire game isn't spoiled before playing 9well. not counting actual spoilers, lol). It was obviously from the get go that in DA1 the final boss would be the archdemon and no matter what decision that was the entire point of the story. While the final boss is unavoidable in DA2 it's not clear from the start. heck, the entirety of ch3 is the PC trying futiley to avoid conflict.

No, but BIo has been around for 10+ years. by now most of us have made up our minds wwether we like or dislike BIo's writing style so how we react to it is likely to be relatively the same 9not to say their writing is exactly the same every game); but the actual quality of said writing (as opposed to prefering one story over another) is basically the same. Just like Obsidian has their style, and while the actual liking or dislking of it may vary the actual wriitng style is basically the same. ie. I hate AP writing but love MOTB writing but the style for the most part is the same.

"Now I ask you, why do you keep posting on the net? " Fun.

"So you have one leader inspired by a magic weapon that influences attitude...but the other leader...their decisions at the end of the game make NO sense really" Makes sense if you pay attention to all the clues. Sure, there are things that probably can be twinked but worst ever? Did you play AP, SOZ, POR2, ES series, DTU? Now that is horrible writing. DA2 is BIO writing. It's no better or worse quality wise.

"I didn't think it would matter with this being a separate storyline, but now I look forward to seeing the impact of my previous decisions. Maybe I'll get some e-mails from people in Fereldan." You get quests as well. And, certain cameos depending on your chocies can actually be different.

"Heh, Volly has never really played AP yet he's free to spew his lies. But oh dare us who barely played DA2 to crush it down, we gain Volley's eternal wrath." Don't lie. I played AP. Greylord: You are wrong. Simple as that.

Except, he didn't say it was 'horrible'. He said it could be better. HUGE difference.

Sure did.

AlphaPHAIL has bestw riting/ LMAO Now, if you Obsidian fanboys had pointed out the awesomesauce that is MOTB then I could be on your side but AP? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Some of the worstw riting EVAR. I'm talking DTU, POR2, and EOTB bad. As for DA2... well, imo, the quality of it writing is pretty much BIoish. if you hate BIO's writing you will likely hate DA2 writing if you love BIO writing you will love DA2 writing. Just that simple.

"Well, hmm...perhaps when it came out so long ago you said it was terrible?" I loved BG2. I have always loved BG2. It along with FO2 are tied for my favorite RPG campaigns ever. This has never changed even though the C&C in later BIO games are obviously better but since BG1&2 is what got me into BIo games and are the reasons people cna blame for me spamming all these years it'll be ahrd to knock it off its purch. "I demand you remove your signature then" I demand you read my entire post. I said BG2 is my favorite BIO *campaign*. ie. BG2 campaign > NWN OC (duh!!!) ; but overall NWN still reigns supreme. People seem to forget that NWN OC is just 'average' for me. LMAO

"One interesting storyline machanic would be to allow choices from previous game matter, even if your main character would be someone else then default character from the previous game." Jaseun beat me to it, but the ME trilogy is Shepard's tale so if he dies the story is finished.

Nah. Call it the AlphaPHAIL thread. Even the Obsidian owners know AP was a failure. L0L

"Majority of the people like a Bioware game: Volo: Meh, it's ok. Not one of Bioware's better game [insert random Bioware game here] Was much better at.... etc etc etc... " So.. hwo does this 'theory' hold up when the majority of people love BG2 which just happens to be my favorite BIO campaign? Another failure in someone pretending to think they know me. L0LZ

"Why was the Prince DLC? DLC should be stuff finished AFTER the game, not something that comes out day one to nickel and dime. Would be more forgivable if the game wasn't so rushed... which leads to the biggest problem of all imho..." This has been explained. Day One DLC like this is to reward those who buy the game new since it's 100% free for those who buy it new. It's to combat used copies. "Can you debate my points rather then toss hyperbole comments around like it is going out of style?" Truth hurts? I debate with those who disucss maturely. Your 'article' is not written by an adult but some young kiddie who has been repeating the same things for years. We get it. You hate BIO, and have felt they were dying since NWN. getn over it. This is the same stuff you spouted after NWN, JE, KOTOR, ME, DA, and ME2 yet you try to make it sound like DA2 is somehow 'unique'. *shrug* That's why it can't be taken seriously.

"ME 2 'bad' ending takes real effort." Don't you mean poor effort? You got a screw up to have all your allies die. Some I could udnersatnd but all. That's the reverse of impressive. Sadly, i saw a few people talking about ME2 who pretty got as close to the 'worst ending' as possible.

Nah. WH was pretty good. i haven't even bothered with ME2 DLC. It sounds. L0L Liara L0L And, the fact theyw asted potentially an awesome character like the SB in a 5minute DLC is lame. WH was exactly what it was supposed to be - a tease that gave you some answers plus I like the companiions you got in it.
