    There are so many things that could go wrong in game development that just pinning down to 2 reasons seems... rushed and lazy Basically it can be one of those chaos theory scenarios where a small problem at the beginning stages of planning completely screws over the whole game.

    It certainly lacked the depth from tabletop systems. Hopefully with exploration they'll integrate them as part of the abilities tree.

    Unless it has been stamped with a smiley cloud its not official.

    I don't get popular notions sometimes, apparently Russians are bad but communism and revolution are good?

    Nyet, in Soviet Russia her does you.

    I thought this thread was going to be pictures of weapons and armor wearing monocles and drinking tea. Shame. Also, making certain items taboo might be a bit restricting. A set of bonuses and specializations based around items related to cultural backgrounds sounds better in my mind.

    Your point makes no sense. And yes I have several gay friends, some of them are conservative around there sexual orientation and some of them are flamboyant. I have no issue with either mannerism as I believe people should be who they are. Its the same when I go out with my gay friends that I don't pretend to be gay. Why should a gay person not be who he is? But once again I am confused by what you are saying. Do you really think that optional gay Romance in Bioware games is "stuffing it down your throat" or "drowning me in there way of life". I assume you have played Bioware games so you know that any Romance is not mandatory. You must know this yet you still feel they are somehow forcing you to be part of something that you don't have to be part of. And you have an issue with it just because Bioware is choosing to be inclusive of there fan base And you still say " you have no issue with gay people". Really, because from where I'm sitting that's not what it looks like? So in other words, if someone isn't enthusiastic about party NPC's being homosexual he's Hitler's and satan's offspring? Nah, Hitler and Satan getting it on its pretty gay. Can someone plz post something relevant to DA.? Preferably not gay related

    The what?

    The counterpoint is also quite sound, basically since its fictional it falls under arbitrary judgement whether if its inappropriate or not. So whilst you feel that rape is worse than murder someone else feels that murder is a bad thing and shouldn't be glorified. Which is quite true from a moral point of view, but the fact is that since we can't quantify feelings there is no real way of saying whether rape is worse than murder. So the line has been drawn at the point of actual real violence and whether something hurts and actual being, which isn't the case with digital characters.

    Wouldn't it be nice to live in a world where we didn't notice that development companies offered options for straight and gay players? It would just be as normal as choosing to play male or female. That's the level of progression I want all companies and people to get to, a level where we don't comment at all about this topic as its so common. I only noticed because its a bit out of sorts and irrelevant to the subject, like if I ended this post by saying that all my enemies who are pedophiles will try to rape my children.

    HE WAS A HERO!*shakes fist* And a real human being.

    I feel they had simply acknowledge your actions in previous games even though they completely retcon them, that may have been more polite than disregarding them because you want to write a linear story that pretends to give choices. They could had brought back Leliana with a big scar on her neck which when you ask her about tells you what happened, if anything it should had been little funny. Also, what Tale said.

    Why is it that Gaider has to turn everything into a crusade for gay rights? On the subject: they have been doing this since BG, they establish a canon story which is the one that a carries over to the next game. My problem in particular with the DA canon is that it has become so bloated with webcomics, books, movies and even that darn webseries with Felicia Day that every iteration I have to learn of a bunch of stuff that happened. Plus they aren't very informative about it. Also, why the hell they can bend the canon to include every crappy thing done by somebody on the internet but they can't give you a simple back story to corroborate what you did.

    With rape the victim has to live with the event so they suffer for much longer than with murder. Or they may take a cavalier attitude towards it and just get on with their life. I find it funny how everyone assumes that a rape victim is left a frail, traumatized, little thing. I met rape victims, some of them are really close to me and I got to tell if they didn't mention it I would have never known. I get this subject is not for everyone but I find no reason why it should be kept out of games, specially since it has gone on for a while now without controversy. Besides that's why we have the ESBR, they could just add a sexual violence tag to the game and you know whether this game is for you or not.

    I dunno, man. Can you imagine taking that face to dinner? I'm having fight down the urge to leap nervously away from the keyboard just meeting her stare. Don't get me wrong. I'm as prone to falling for ice queens as the next man. But I'm damned if I'll do it in my imagination. They don't shy away from confrontation, which I love and if they have wit then I'm instantly in love.

    Wow, perfect features.

    The thing about them using the Frostbite engine that gives me hope its that a lot of the issues that I had with DA2 stemmed from a lack of ambiance. In DA:O the big empty spaces were populated with static meshes that that added to the feel of the place. But design direction in DA2 removed all that for some reason, the lighting and level design also failed to immerse, I never felt that Kirkwall was a real city. With Frostbite even if they drop the ball a little with level design choices, at the very least the engine can pick up the slack a bit. So I expect that DA:I will look amazing or that it will have a lot of foggy, dark areas where they don't want you to look too closely.

    I wish sometimes that you would go back to you Shodan avatar, it makes the soul crushing that I experience when reading your post a bit more familiar.
  19. Orogun01
    Considering that they licensed Frostbite for this game (The Battlefield 3 Engine) there is no reason why this game shouldn't look freaking amazing. So hopefully, the level design won't be DA2 bad.

    Le purr.

    Japanese SEGA games which have been localized and released in the west are actually not bad... Think Yakuza, Binary Domain, Resonance of Fate, etc etc... They still need to better manage their western developed releases though... Colonial Marines speak enough for all these games... The only problem I see now, is that it is possible that even less japanese games will be localized after this buyout Which would be big shame and disappointment, if that will be the case... I wouldn't be surprise especially since there is a small market for japanese game on the west and japanese developers seem completely unaware of pc as a platform.

    Well, at least he won't have to suffer anymore. My condolences.

    Right and i'm ethnically a Spaniard, guess what it says on my passport. I don't care if she thinks she is a pony with wings if she was born in the Ukraine then her nationality is Ukrainian.
  24. Orogun01
    Milla Jovovich is Ukranian not Russian.

    I'm currently finishing a 3 year degree on Game Arts and I have specialized as a character modeller. I was wondering what the devs over at Obsidian wanted to see from a character modeller? What kind of level of quality would he/she need in order to land a job at Obsidian?
