  1. The Templars still seem like complete jerks, though. Vivienne does a good job of advocating.
  2. Tier 3 masterwork armor is called superb, FYI. Just so you don't go running around wondering why you can't find it.
  3. I decided to try out Shadow of Mordor. Just to try it out. Next thing I know, I've killed like 6 Captains. Including two that were hanging out together at a Stronghold. And I already have a nemesis in a guy I had to run away from.
  4. A good villain is a character with a clear motivation who acts in support of a goal. Not unlike a good hero. Vader fit that criteria. He wanted to protect the Empire in Star Wars, he wanted to capture Luke in Empire, and he wanted to turn Luke in Jedi. The actions in support of those goals are clear and unambiguous. Anakin, by contrast, has actions that nobody is buying as supporting his goal. He wants to get powerful in Dark Side by killing children so he can save his wife. That's too convoluted to care. Depth is a secondary concern, but a welcome one. Too many try for depth and in the process lose sight of having their actions being in support of their goals. As if they spend all their time adding sympathy to the motive they're no longer sure how to justify the villainous actions.
  5. Requisition quests are chores, literally.
  6. DA:I and loving every minute of it. I want to play Shadows of Mordor too, but can't drag myself away.
  7. Nobody starts as a writer. They become one by trying. If you don't want to, that's up to you.
  8. I'm really enjoying this game so far. We'll see if Act 2 and beyond let me down. Got to Skyhold and got my specialization. I have to say they've done something really incredible here with their environments, both in scope and grandeur.
  9. They struggle in every country unless they get really lucky. Even the USA which supposedly has a big market has the overwhelming majority of its writers only doing it as a second job. Something they're passionate about sharing. I'd advise you to still try, though, if you're really interested in your concepts. There's always self-pub.
  10. You are a: Centrist Moderate Collectivism score: 0% Authoritarianism score: 0% Internationalism score: 0% Tribalism score: 0% Liberalism score: 0% What an odd name for "picked maybe on everything without reading it."
  11. I'm really enjoying it. It has some of the best exploration I've seen outside of a Souls game. I'm worried about the travelling becoming wearisome before I get done with the game, though. Because there's a looooot of it.
  12. Cut the personal bickering. There is an ignore feature, make use of it if you can't help yourself.
  13. I thought the narrator sounded like gravelly Patrick Stewart.
  14. Got my PS4 yesterday and started playing. After a couple restarts trying to figure out what character I wanted, I finally ended up with a female qunari warrior that doesn't look like crap. Actually looks better out of that horrible green character creation light. I got 2 hours in, just to the formation of the Inquisition.
  15. You think that's bad? Just wait until you visit the same cave for the umpteenth time. Not an extremely similar cave from a cookie cutter mold (ala Oblivion), not even a mirrored version of the cave, the same exact cave. Trust me, you are going to be intimately familiar with said cave before the game is through. Hey, let's be fair, most caves have differences between each other. In one cave, the conspicuously placed rectangular doorway is free and clear In another, it's filled in with cement.
  16. If one of those games is Final Fantasy XIII, I think we're going to have to revoke your membership.
  17. Got my copy today. I can't play it yet, but I own a copy.
  18. I don't know the last time I saw an MMO that had a low limit on the number of abilities. They tend, at least currently, to give you a ton of bars and let you go to town. Sometimes I think people just like to throw random words at things to be an insult. I thought you were above that. For shame. For shame.
  19. I have a joke conspiracy where Fiona and Maric conspired to establish a Grey Warden nation and throw Orlais and the Chantry into chaos. Mage leader? Grey Warden. Mage that blew up the chantry? Grey Warden. Red lyrium? Found using maps supplied by Wardens on an expedition lead by a guy whose father was allied to Wardens. Alistair is just the symbol of the alliance. Some people will tell you they're "ex-Wardens" but Grey Warden is supposed to be for life. Don't even get me started on the Inquisition's connections to the Wardens.
  20. http://forum.bioware.com/topic/520802-denuvo-is-not-frying-your-hard-drive/ Or maybe not.
