To be fair, all men have a hard time understanding what women mean. However, judging by the questionnaire consent was never asked by these men.

Did you question the people on whose house the car was parked?

Robocop is to Detroit what Rocky is to Philly ... and the tattered, bankrupt city (in real life) could use a morale boost. A new movie might help the tiniest bit. There was a successful Kickstarter for a statue of Robocop in the city. Because they do need an android that shoots evil CEOs.

It was okay, beautiful graphics and environments but the gameplay and story is nothing to exalt. All in all it was a fairly average game with the production values of a AAA game and the usual design faults.

How cynical, specially considering that it will get dropped once they see how useless "feedback" is. On the other hand it probably gives better results during testing, specially if the testers are particularly daft.

Layoffs are pretty common once a portion of the project its done, no use paying artists when all the game art assets are built.

Pretty much the entirety of my time at PAX was chatting with fans that gobble up Dragon Age stuff. Had a couple people that were more clearly less impressed with BioWare's direction as of late, though it was literally only 2 (that bothered to talk to me about it, in any case). Did those 2 gave an actual valid critique or was it just a matter of personal taste? and more importantly; are you allowed to talk about it?

A medieval FarCry sounds interesting, closest I've seen to that was Mortal Online. They won't say the truth because no one in publicity ever says the truth, after all is their job to sell you their game.

**** Citizen Kane and **** all those people that are using it as a goal who don't even know why Citizen Kane was relevant to film. Hint: "its not because its a good movie." Having never seen the film, why is it note worthy? Its one of those films that are relevant to film students because it first used many of the shots, camera angles and generally filmography techniques that became commonplace after. The film is kind of like the Aristotle of films in that Aristotle defined the scientific method for all generations to use, but instead using visual language. But as for being entertained I particularly wasn't, I can appreciate the value of the film but it kind of requires one of those weird mindsets when you're in the mood for something dry serious. Hopefully Ametep will pop in soon and answer your question way better than I can.

In the land of Thedas people take their after school clubs very seriously.

A book can too, either way it's dead trees doing magic because stuff. Or more specifically because they wanted an excuse to give mages a weapon slot item. I kind of like the floating book, its a refreshing change from staves everywhere.

Have the rebels asked for assistance? I'm of the opinion that the US should not intervene in other countries policies or conflicts and judging by how it has in the past come back to bite them in their asses I would recommend that they learn from their mistakes. Seriously, I'm starting to think of the US as the most buff guy at a bar that needs to keep picking fights because he feels insecure and has to continuously assert their authority. The sooner they stop this nonsensical belief that they are the overlords of the world and keep to themselves the better it will be. Unless of course all the conspiracy theories are right and the US government is the tool of someone else.

And thus.. we know he's a a Lawyer.. Yeah, if I clung to preconceptions contrary to evidence in the contrary I'd be lawyer's client... Or an engineer :D This post made ask myself a very important question: " What job would be easier to do while drunk, engineer or lawyer?"

There's nothing Celtic about Skyrim. Celtic culture is rarely, if ever, represented in RPGs. Or video games in general. I don't think you even know anything about it, given you believe Norse culture to be Celtic culture. Celtic culture is vastly different from Nordic and Germanic cultures (which are related.) Finally, looking at the poll results, it seems that a clear, though not large, majority of respondents prefer the status quo, which of course explains why the status quo persists. The fornsworn, hags as priestesses of the Old Gods, rituals related to nature, sounds very Celtic to me. Albeit a corrupted version of the Celts which serves well to represent them as having been consumed by their struggle and having gone to extremes to regain the Reach.

There is auto-attack. The dodge is a skill with a cooldown. There seems to be an action queue. I'm not sure why the guy playing used it so much as I noticed he rolled even when he wasn't under attack. There will be a tactics menu, which means you can get your characters to do things without your input. A simple one is something like 'if health < 30%, drink a potion.' 'if attacked, dodge and cast freeze on your attacker.' So tactics work the same as in the previous games? What about attack combos, dual striking or chaining abilities, has there been any word on that?

I don't think you'd need to. It's not like the Mass Effect series where it's just one big story. The most important part of DA:O is that you prevented the blight from spreading across the land. DA 2 showed the mages splitting from the Chantry and the Templars starting a war against them. The Templar/Circle war isn't the main conflict of DA:I though. It's that the Veil has torn and demons are spilling into the world. But they often do cameos and returning companions and their stories are not really touched upon since most of it develops over time rather than in a single event.

After seeing The Avengers last week, I have to say: You've no idea what you're talking about. But hey, even if it was bad humor, it'd be still better than the I'm-so-zany/meme-bait referencial stuff everyone is doing nowadays. The Avenger was Joss Whedon, not a Joss Whedon imitation. BW is to Joss Whedon what Tofu is to meat.

Luck is for dumb people who can't find the pedal.

I'm more hopeful after seeing the video but i'm still a little concerned about combat and the consequences of your actions. Combat seems a little slow, probably by design since they don't want to make their game a hack & slash I'm afraid that it will be less of a challenge and more of a bother. The storyline and the possibilities remind me a bit of Awakenings, where the Warden was tasked with the defense of the keep and had to fend off an great evil, the darkspawn replaced with demons from the Fade. The thing I disliked about Awakenings was that the game was cutoff before you could reap the rewards from your actions. Every questline related with leadership ended abruptly, a fight on the streets or in a farm, with no real sense of closure. Without more word about what the plot will be and how much will your choices affect it, I can't say for sure that i'm totally into this game. But I will probably give it a try.

Thanks for all the goodies.

I just watched a few gameplay videos on youtube (haven't played DA:O in a long time ) and yeah I guess it had third person, but you could zoom out to tactical view and click with the mouse where you wanted your character to move. So in essence it still had that point and click feeling. where as in DA2 that is completely gone. DA2 was definitively optimized for consoles so its no surprise that they have gone with more of an action route with DA3, not necessarily a bad thing but it's not for everyone. Unfortunately with hybrid games that have no real leaning for one genre but rather try to put too much of both, they end up with mechanics that feel more like a gimmick. Such as scanning planets in ME2 became a replacement for exploration. They need to figure out what the core mechanics are and scrap the rest instead of putting a half arsed effort towards something that plays out like a mini game.

Since we're on the subject, is it true that cosplayers are awful people? Most of the ones I've met are but they were seriously way too into it, so I just wanted to confirm if this was just my experience.

He is totally being tsundere and on a side note i'm going to kill myself for using that word, maybe I'll repost this on the Last Words Workshop thread.
