The having them cheat in you would trigger a lot of people. For that reason I like it. One thing I did like about DA:I is that the characters actually had preferences... I always find it silly when everyone wants you regardless of race/gender. Being 5'8 I'm too short for many girls... yet everyone falls in love with me as an orlan suuuure

They can be quite intrusive, distracting and cringe worthy in real life too

It seems to have everything the first one had(aside from mods) they added some cool stuff since the last time I played... now at the start of a battle you can place troops, that was a nice change

It feels pretty complete now? Though my experience with the first one is limited so I'm not completely sure. I think the modding community hasn't had a lot of support yet? Which is a shame because mods can really transform it from a decent game to a good game.

Mount and blade bannerlord. I pretty much only get kills when they start to retreat and I can run them down with my horse(and they can't fight back). It's fun, but also I feel like I'm wasting my time

30 zombie games a year is too much?

Yes and the derpy look your character has in conversations... and that's when you succeed in charming or persuading

I thought New Vegas did it alright, they were all bad choices, which I liked. Same with Deadfire, I didn't like any of the factions... Maybe I just don't like groups. Mass effect 2 is maybe the worst offender for 2 extremes... because any diversion from good or bad, will have bad results, no mix and matching... basically you should just choose whether to be good or bad at the start, and not have to decide anything. Edit: I might not know what theory of two extremes is

I'm starting to think I have had this exact conversation on Obsidian, the last time I tried to play Baldurs Gate 3. Here are 3 things I hate about baldurs gate 3 1) is it a nod to D:OS2 to have the game start on a ship, and then crash on a beach? Because I hate it, I felt like I was playing Divinity. 2) you meet every companion within the first 10 minutes of the game. You all were on the ship together... reminds me of another game... I guess this is so you can play as them... 3) I get that it's probably a style choice, but due to your companions being possible MCs, your created character feels so out of place. I felt zero connection to a created character. You are unnecessary, and a burden.

Was that to me? Do you also dislike their writing? I feel like everyone loves larian and I just don't quite get it

Trying to play baldurs gate 3. Not sure what it is about larians writing that I don't like, but I can never get invested in characters or plot in their games. Also mount and blade 2... that I'm having fun with but I feel very stuck... grinded out 10k from escorting caravans... need to join a war but no one wants to hire me

Barely looking forward to anything, unless we are counting games with no release date. There is that one Australian fallout type game that looks intriguing, but don't know a release date for that either

I agree it's very weird just how much people spend on crappy mobile games. Though I also don't understand advertising... it's very rare that I will see an ad and then go out and buy that thing. I'd say never, but I'm sure there has been a time I did.

This happened in fallout 2 for me... I got liike 5 hours in and was like "why the hell do I have no money?!? I've been selling so much" stupid millennial

Didn't they say early in development that you'd be able to "romance any npc". Far cry from the actuality of being able to romance 1 of 3 npcs

I never really understood the problem... as far as I know it doesn't effect the game. It's a shameless money grab... but who cares if someone wants to waste their money

Nevermind... different game... can I delete this message?

Really hoping I can be an orlan. My favorite race of any fantasy series. Could call me an Orlan supremacist.

Agree 100%. Witcher 3 is the only one I didn't finish, it has a bit of the ubisoft/Bethesda problem of a million markers on the map. Albeit the missions are better, but still my minor OCD can't handle it.... also was a huge problem I had with cyberpunk but I digress. Witcher 1 is also my favorite

@BruceVC That sounded angrier than I meant it haha. I just hate how many zombie games there are, to the point that I pretty much disregard all zombie games. State of decay was actually cool, but I kept wishing it wasn't zombies

If I ever play a zombie game, it will be too soon. I am completely biased, no matter how good the game is, if the main enemy are zombies, I won't play it.

Pretty girls turning into murderous monsters, story of my life

Weird, this topic sprouted up. I still think outer worlds 2. If avowed is going to be "bigger than skyrim"(pretty sure they said that at some point) and presuming it's not as hollow as skyrim, and they are starting from scratch, it's going to take a long time. Outerworlds can be completely unique, it doesn't have much lore it can break, if any really. It has stuff it can pull from, but not to the level of eora. Seems like it would be easier to write.

Wow so smart! Thanks!

So I missed the "warhammer" at the start, and I was so scared this was an avowed trailer... the bad voice acting kept saying "vows" and stuff like that.... I've never been so happy to not get a trailer for a game I'm looking forward to before. Maybe it's not awful but it scared me
