I dont get it, from one side EA is Palpatine of gaming industry, on the other side this origin access sounds as fair deal. 5$ to rent selection of games as it was netflix. If you play game just once it is cool.

You can always write to either eurocommision or MEP of Pirate Party (or some other libertarian), but i am not sure what should be demands.

On Shady's list there are some great titles if that is your genre: Wargame, Furi, Endless Legend, borderlines, GalCIv, Rebel Galaxy. There may be some more, but i dont know all titles.

I actually wrote to PEGI so they look into loot boxes, and maybe add some form of slot machine icon on some games.

There is a thing that both Beefy and Stand-alone make sense. Standalone is user friendly and that is always valour. Other than that, i dont think people want to spend a lot of time in game shop. It is stressfull to worry "i dont have every game, so i dont have perfect experience and i am missing something great". Solutions "buy once, and play" are just easier. If you spent 50$ on game it better not be half baked or part of product. Lootboxes are abomination and i try to keep distance from them. When it comes to episode games i wait for end of series (Life is Strange), when it comes to heaby dlc game i wait for GOTY. I just dont want to think too much about buying all pieces. The worse part is having games changed or cutted to make place for DLC. Other aproach: make a game as focused, and perfect as you could without time soakers and escort the dwarf missions. And then go with Expand Universe dlc which are completly unralated with main story. Each dlc is small adventure like Heart of Stone (witcher). Not all people will buy it.

Hard to tell. There is Total War, and Mordheim and Vermite... but in the same time no crpg. It is kinda like pleanty of modern shooters, but not so many moder crpg. Also: we have so many Star Wars games, long time ago in galaxy far, far away. But im fine with whatever Obsidian choose. Especially if it will be another take on world of darness style. Lol.

The Warhammer Fantasy crpg would be great. A lot of pen and paper fans to base on, World somehow different from cute asian mmo settings, Potencial in flexibility of character system. And so much lore and stories already there.

Bioware probably dont need to be fundraised, EA overlords cover that one thing. Fundraising games, and then filling them with loot-cases... that would be a new level of decadence. It seems that new Bioware child is more massive online action, which dont have to be a bad thing, since Warframe is a fun game (if you like genre). As for interesting projects: there is also Cthullu and GreedFall, and Wasteland 3. Some games which may be fine.

When one hero dies, another will rise. There is a market for games below 1mln and 1-10mln. Which could look better than anything before, and be just as complex. Lack of Bioware crpg is significant, But Vampyr and Elex looks fine.

"You cant tell best without trying both." I dont mind other sex hero, liked Portal, NieR and LiS. There are some games, races where female are just looking better.

Sure, why not. There are some games where romance/relation add to the game. For example Witcher 3 (imagine it without romance, you can, but...), or Life is Strange series (withotu relationship). Some of Bioware romances add some comedy (Poor Morigan in her cold, cold tent) Romane is also handy as Maltanese Falcon. To just push plot, or give enought motivation. Maybe it is cheese, but B plot is better than no plot. There is also value in having an option. Like with classes, maybe i will just play Paladin but having 10 class to choose from is great.

Not all games need multiplayer, and to some degree focusing on MP means less devhours on SP -> worse game overall. Active pause mechanic is not MP friendly. Turn based, action, shooter are more friendly. MP + mod support can result in long life to the game, and some people having more fun out of it. But personally i just play game and move to another.

It is about translating tag "Animancer" to game elements, even better layer which already exist. If Animancy is profession like Craftsman or Scholar it will be just +2 to some skill, and a couple of dialogue option. Are you sure it is all you want? If from being animancer you expect abilities like: rise golems, infuse vital energy, vampiric touch, summon necro kitty, inbue weapons with something, then the game element for that is Class. Field: "Putting Essence into objects and machines" is attractive, different (from Cipher and Wizzard), playable. However that is another class to make. Sample mechanic: Animancers use harvested souls as resource, from fallen enemies or other sources. Essence is stored in jars. Essence could be used in ad hoc effects as spell or forget into souldevice gem which could be strap into Animancer equipment (1 gem per slot) for extra effect or ability. Some gems require specific slot. good enough. That would be more alchemist/artificer than necromancer. Such is life. Simplified: Animancers could turn any no named item into gadget-gear, which adds device slots on it and give it steampunk look, armour has like 4 slots but rings only 1. Rest same.

RTS is apart but: TotalWar Warhammer is doing quite well (they will not pump that dlc if dont), Dawn of War 3 looks ok, Halo Wars 2 is not so good but show up, and now this: Steal Battalion Normady '44 Wargame by Eugene System now in WW2 setting. https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/steel-division-normandy-44-is-announced.1002320/

I suppose there is a limit how many things you can put into game and still have some consumers for that. A lot of things had be done, but always just a few mechanic. Using mind powers in conversation (Vampire Bloodlines, Kotor, Witcher) Using spells to interact with surrounding in form of puzzles (Magica, Bioshock, Jedi Knight) Using "magic" to distract guards (Dishonored, SplinterCell, Commandos) Using our powers for our own desire with no regard to fabric of time (Life is Strange) In scripted interaction there was some references to our abilities, and i think ciphers got something. Using fireball to crush some walls and open passage, or fun of flames to ignite something does not sound to far fetched (there was a video with igniting some barrels) It is too much work to implement everywhere, but having a couple of times "use fireball to blow wall" in scripted interaction... not that extreme.

In Vampire the Bloodlines there was a nice gimmick of using our powers in conversation like driving cops mad with dementia, or domination. That is something. But it could also create the feeling that wizard/cipher gets so much more. Our watchers powers are more neutral.

Druid variant which is not dedicated to one form, but can evolve during combat stacking more and more mutation in monstrous shape form. Like 4 arms + extra strenght + tali + wings + poison + carpace armour + antlers + dragon fire breath + poisonous cloud around us... Ship with soul and all that jazz is also good .

With Multiclass it is very easy to just make class:Animancer and you can mix it all the way you want. There is potencial in multiclass feats. If there be Animancy as player class there probably should be epic quest explaining and lighting everything once for all.

Disliking Witcher 3... that is interesting. And ok. There are games which are technically great, just dont work for us. And Witcher 3 is technically great since it is so big, quest are not obvious, there are fun sideelements (Gwent, Horse Riding, Boat, Beard simulator). And combat is interactive and dynamic, and have some depth. Witcher 2 is smaller but combat was already interesting, and it has some moments. Not going to force anyone to play or praise it.

Maybe make Animancer subclass but avaiable for everyone? A lot of abilities would be shared, everyone can steal some essence or animate object or get some sceletors. But each class would have something special. Like warriors would be more into animating weapons, ciphers will create spirit copies of themselves (3 strikes at once), ranger will be more into necrotic kittens, and so on. The problem could be that even such extended version would be not enought, players will always complain. Also that would be even more troublesome than adding normal class. maybe with multiclass, own class is simplest soution, can still mix with any other, and there could be multiclass abilities. Maybe some dlc. Animancy + Rise of Animancers quest line (action in Valian Republic).

This is not that bad. Shapechanger character. It fits the general rule of Main Hero collecting all kind of weirdos. Shapeshift could have some fun mechanic. Using different forms. tentacles as arms. Tail to trip... probably dont fit that eothas thing of xoti. Fun resolution of quest to ask our companion to mimic guard captain and just let us in. Like Dudu from Witcher 3. OMG: Druid kit with very limited magic, but shapeshift not dedicated to one beast, but instead being able to dynamicly mix different types and perks. Also Xoti is hotti. South America/Iberia women are preatty. Xoti will bring light to our life. And you cant say no to that eyes, and definetly no to that sick sickle

Maybe some form of Apex race, could come in many shapes to reproduce with anyone. And have some ilusion powers to trap victims in miasma of their own desires. There are more like monster race. The goal is to polute whole Eora with just one race (that is a bit Nazi)

The story of Gjefa is so inspiring. I wonder... Maybe Ydwin could be former escort. Escorts could be rouge to. That is one way to make money, safer and more legal than pickpocketing. Whore with heart of gold is troopy, but so is offspring of very important lord. If we make fun of her past, she will insta leave party and leave some angry zombies for us to remember. BTW: Freckles, we need more freckles. Maybe Xoti can get some. She is from sunland.

As far as I am aware, this is what we know about Cadegund: she is female, she wears plate, she has a gun, she's a Priest of Magran, she's blonde, her name is Cadegund. That's it. That sounds better if you read it in epic voice: I am a girl I am blonde I pray to Magran I wear armour I have gun My name is Cadegun You killed my father Prepare to DIE! Maybe that is the rule:The less is known the more epic backstory players can tell in their minds. The less hero talks, the more sense it makes. Rekk will be pinapple of character design.

no. never. none. neither. just dont What is the deal with Cadegun? Basic girl with plate and rifle. Whoa. Did she have some epic backstory? Or it is just regular gamers echo meme, and there is nothing to understand.
