Dialogue animations are still way over the top, they're exactly like the ones in Divinity 2.

The personal edition is very rare. Didn't it come with a card game and soundtrack as well? Actually, the soundtrack was very good, it's a pity it wasn't included in retail (same with Divinity 2). Last retail game I got that came with a soundtrack was Risen.

I'll have to look at my ME2 saves because I don't even remember whether Kaiden or Ashley are alive in my Paragon Shepard playthrough. Apparantly Kaiden/Ashley became Spectres and also outrank Shepard (at least Kaiden, IIRC Ashely was just a NCO in ME1), they'll have to be taken down a notch quickly.

Yes, on x360 and ps3. I thought Origin was only required for multiplayer?

So can the single-player be played without Origin at all?

So that is what happens when someone fuses the X-files and Twin Peaks main theme.

Ripping off Space Above & Beyond can't be a bad thing, considering how obscure and unknown that series is.

It's a good thing Newton's laws don't apply in Mass Effect universe, or Shepard would've shot herself into orbit.

"This isn't about strategy or tactics, this is about survival" I love Renegade Shepard.

Looks good, but kinda disappointing that the Reapers have gone from invulnerable space gods in ME1 to mooks that can be blown apart in one shot. Maybe I'm wrong, though, and that thing at the end of the video is not a Reaper?

I still remember the outrage when Belgian paratroopers (the elite of the elite) pissed on Somalis in '90 or '91. That was before the military was pussified, and Belgian UN soldiers just let themselves be macheted by those nice Hutus in '94.

If there truly was a gaming god, this Kickstarter success would convince Neal Hallford and Brian Moriarty to try and make sequels to Betrayal and Krondor and Loom, respectively. After more almost 20 years, though, who in their right mind would still bother. I finished a replay of Betrayal at Krondor last weekend, still an amazingly fun game to play. I'll move to Betrayal in Antara, and while it's a nice game as well, it just isn't the same.

Adam Adamowicz, prime concept artist of Fallout 3 and who also worked on Skyrim, has passed away.

Why couldn't Tim Schafer get publisher support? Did Br

Less then a chance of Shepard dying in ME2 (which there was a chance, but since it's LESS than that)... Err...No? The won't have a chance? According to the leak, though, it is possible for , which counts as a failure. I'll do anything in my power to reach that ending with my Renegade Shepard.

I wish those ranged and magic finishers were in the game. Impaling and lobbing off heads with my melee Orc never gets old. Though rather than have them trigger randomly, they should've used an adrenaline system of sorts, like Dark Messiah. Fill the adrenaline bar and you can instakill an enemy with a finisher.

Will the Reapers even have a chance of winning this time around if Shepard wastes too much time?

I'd pay only for Full Throttle 2, Loom 2 and The Longest Journey 2.

I'd donate maybe for an oldschool RPG, but for an adventure game? More than sixty adventure games alone are slated for release this year so far, not bad for a supposedly dead niche genre.

People needed buffs in NWN2?

Shepard is the dumbest video game protagonist ever, eclipsing even Serious Sam and Duke Nukem. Shepard's sadly even dumber than Roger Wilco and doesn't even get the chicks to compensate.

Well, I take back what I said. The Skyrim devs apparently had some free time and came up with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYOFLqItuW4

I recently discovered I can no longer play any pure action RPGs where one spends 95% of one's time in linear corridors or small to big maps just killing things or fetch various items for villagers. I tried replaying Loki: Age of Mythology and Titan Quest and got bored after ten minutes (strangely enough, though, I was able to replay Space Siege a few months back, it must've been the sci-fi setting plus the fact that the game can be beaten in less than 3 hours). I still appreciate an action RPG like Divine Divinity and Divinity 2 where the mold of endless grinding is broking by a large world to explore, lots of interesting NPCs to talk to, humour and sidequests that go beyond "kill X/fetch Y". Even Dungeon Siege 2 kinda had this, plus it had the advantage over other action RPGs that it was party based (while Dungeon Siege 1 had the advantage of a seamless world and fairly cutting edge graphics for the time). So, my question: does Dungeon Siege 3 have any of these aforementioned elements or is it just endless killing and looting?

That's going to take ages, since it requires new animations. Not really a fan of Steam workshop. The more... exotic mods are never going to appear there, so I don't see the point of moving. Steam is pretty cumbersome to navigate as well.
