Don't let taks or Guard Dog hear you say that or you'll be labelled a 'dirty socialist'. # too true too true benelovent, invisible hand of market is just bs I wonder have they ever heard of Rawls...

there is only The Black Hound [/handwave]

lolwut, Xardosaurus?

Yes. Shepard - "Tell me about whatever" the other person - "wall of awkward text" I have to disagree on that "wall of text" part. For most of the time, Mass Effect didn't hit you with wall of text, you could skip out of talky situations fast with right side neutral option. Even if you chose to ask just about everything, there wasn't that much text. More detailed info went into codex and then it would be your option if you chose to read it, or some cases, listen excellent narrative voiceover. I think other developers should do the same and give players more options how much info they want about the world, story or the characters. The point isn't that you have an option not to read it, but rather that the information in those monologues should be conveyed to the player through flowing conversations, and through mise en sc

Uhh, Bloodlines has absolutely fantastic writing No, it was okay, but surely not fantastic. But then again, Bloodlines also put additional emphasis into the actor performance, I thought that contributed also to the personality of the NPCs. In the end, it's not purely the dialog quality that makes or breaks an RPG these days, but how well all parts (acting, VO, design, functuality) play together that make it a satisfying experience. And I think if I can survive some badass dialogs a'la Gothic and still can enjoy it, DA should be a diamond among good ol' fashioned RPG goodness. I can't think of single badly written character in the game. Jeanette, Prince, Anarchs etc. were fantastically written. Even minor characters like Fat Larry (best. shopkeeper. ever) and that japanese demon hunter had a lot of character in them Storytelling ranged from average to utter fail, but that's not writings fault.

in b4 taks and socialism paranoia reaches Stage 2 as GD and he combine

Probably because it's way, way bigger than Torment. Full voice doesn't automatically make anything better, because if the VA is crap it's a detraction. However, this just confirms my suspicions that it's shpaing up to be / trying to be another SoA. Which is cool. Umm, you forgot even more basic thing: If dialogue itself is crap it'll be unbearable I have to say I've been very disappointed so far, especially by the writing which is ****ING AWFUL

The Beatles - Come Together

George Harrison - Wah-Wah WAAAH WAAAAAH

lol at hoover reference and the epic music edit: "fish love to be around those rigs" What was that sound? Oh, my Awesome-o-meter just exploded

someone remind me, did I mean Deus Ex or Metal Gear Solid 2 with that last part?

Wow, I lost that argument I give you that My point was more about that scientists - although Higgs particle is the one that gets all the fuz - are looking forward a lot more in finding all sorts of new weird crap happening. It has come up in few interviews in addition to that and shouldn't surprise anyone Well, that's what YOU think Everyone who has the sacred knowledge knows that's when Illuminati took over information structures of world

wait, crooks with bazookas in Denmark? You learn something new every day

Finding Higgs won't yield anything new - and LHC sure as hell should give more for its price than only reaffirming conventional theory

I refuse to believe he does it without reason

wrong thread lol

This is far more interesting Anyway, it'll be disaster for physics if Higgs particle is the only thing they'll find

HoMM 3

yeah, right
