It's perhaps for the best that Bethesda's writing is horrible, otherwise BioWare might have been put out of business long ago. That said, Michael Kirkbride was a good Bethesda writer. He cooked up a large amount of lore and wrote a lot of in-game books. Same goes for Julian LeFay, who practically invented the Elder Scrolls. EDIT: And indeed, TLJ was great. It's practically the Planescape: Torment of adventure games.

They speak French(among other languages) there and eat croissants, no? I thought the entire country is bilingual. Like Belgium, with the difference that it actually works.

"Respect" comes from Latin verb "respicere" meaning literally "looking up".

Screen fading to black, followed by a short cutscene of a rocket taking off?

Smugglers would most likely work for any side... and sell to the highest bidder. Can't really imagine "light side"/"dark side" having any meaning for non-Force sensitives anyway.

Seems to be entirely depending on the number of immigrants absorbed..

I bet Bethesda is probably behind global warming too.

Isn't quality of writing & voice acting what BioWare is famous for, rather than interesting game world & gameplay? There has never been much else in their games. In their trailers/previews they always show off their deep storylines & depth of character choices. I haven't seen any information about the game world itself... they could learn from Bethesda when it comes to building a highly detailed game world with in-depth lore.

It's always funny that underwear magically appears when one takes off a raider's skimpy outfit. Bloody Mess = bring it on! Nudity = aw hecks no!

A surprising amount of Cannibal Corpse songs seem to be applicable, e.g. "Gutted, "Rancid Amputation", "Dead Human Collection", "Unleashing the Bloodthirsty", "Hammer Smashed Face", so on and such like.

I meant I have latest 1.22 patch but still have the same 'problem', so I was thinking this bug was not a bug per se but maybe something that was specifically intended for SoZ gameplay. Anyway, it is only a very minor problem.

I mentioned those two games because of the open world with wasteland feel & shooter elements combined with biotics-like powers & alien creatures. Oh, and there seem to be vehicles.

I'm all patched up, apparently it is something that comes with SoZ. No biggie, I just have to manually move my entire party now.

I was impressed by Borderlands. Looks like a mix of Fallout 3 & Mass Effect.

"Guide to Ferelden Fornication"? "Thousand and One Positions"?

Who cares about "romances". They should call it what it really is, "casual sex" like in the Witcher. I shall play as a female character to totally avoid that nonsense anyway. I just want the in-game dragons to kick butt and have decent AI, from what I've seen in that E3 video the beastie didn't even target the mage who just stood there happily casting destructive spells with impunity.

Is this the same Yahtzee that made the game 6 Days a Sacrifice?

? So we will be able to in the third instalment?

I can't help but smile every time someone mentions "true RPGs".

Thought it was Arren Kae... can't picture Yusanis laying down with the old hag.

I don't really care about any in-game characters and their interplay/banter, I just hope this new world that BioWare created will at least have some detailed history, politics, mythology, botany & zoology like in an Elder Scrolls game. They managed to do this with Mass Effect, so I have good hopes that I'll be pleasantly surprised when I'll sit down to play it.

I hope there will be an option to remain neutral at least... "smuggler" seems to be a neutral class... apparently based on the character of Han Solo.

Try playing a truly classic RPG like one of the Wizardry games or Champions of Krynn, not to mention the evergreen World of Xeen. It really opens one's eyes about the fickle concept of a 'true RPG'.

Now all we need is a Elder Scrolls MMO.

I'm having a bit of a problem myself... I recently finished SoZ and now went back to MoTB but noticed that the SoZ install apparently disabled the "follow mode" from working and removing voice overs as well - which is annoying since I exclusively use my followers in puppet mode. Is there a way to remove the SoZ expansion? I do not wish to uninstall & reinstall everything since I have various mods that on occasion took a lot of tweaking time to work.
