In fact, it's not something official by Bioware, but just something a user reported, and apparently no one else heard, which lends credit to theory that he was indeed a troll . Here's the link. Now that I re-read the message, I'm 99% sure he's a troll , and I apologize for not spotting him before. Still, cut me some slack, navigating through those boards is painful I tell you, PAINFUL! *nerdrages*

.... are you trying to sexually harass me?

Gamespot preview

Two new previews: Joystiq GameRant

Just to be fair, the one saying that was the same guy who talked about Xbox360 being the lead platform, something Bioware's developers have denied on their boards. So, take it with a grain of salt.

Well, to give credit to the publishers, it's not like Obsidian doesn't agree to the deadlines in their contracts.

Mike Laidlaw confirms that Bioware is indeed developing all the game's versions simultaneously without a lead platform on the Bioware's boards. Still different than what they did with Dragon Age, so hopefully the game will remain fine-tuned to PC gaming (obviously in its PC incarnation, the console versions should be as intuitive to play as the PC's one, no doubts about that).

Some of the F1/F2 armor is in good condition, but Rhombus' armor looks like it was pulled out of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

You know what? I don't think that's bad. It's just that I don't think the human character design in the screenshots fits. It's just.. not stylized enough. Give him a more comic book like look, and it'll be much better.

... And the BioWare Social Network was engulfed in flames. It was mostly hidden between the message, and posted by a guy with a remarkably low grasp of spelling and grammar, so most of the forum actually ignored it, and on the topic there was a divide between who goes 'I haven't heard anything like that' and who is already threatening Bioware of.. *GASP!*.. pirating the game.

There are some impressions from the Comic-con demo at the Bioware's boards, apparently the graphics look better than the screenshot, Hawke has an english accent, Flemeth has the same voice actress but looks completely different, and the combat was super easy (but according to Mike Laidlaw, it was like that because the guy narrating that part of Hawke's story is one of his fanboys). Also, they're still thinking whether implementing top-down view or not in the PC version. Bioware apparently stated that the lead platform is the Xbox360 this time.

GameInformer : The New Art Style

It's just a a shade, and probably due to the lighting/brightness setting of the screenshot, but Bethany has purple hair in a shot. Since I don't want to doublepost 1UP preview.

Who tells you it wasn't what inspired that TV Robots in the first place?

I hope the second example made it into the game.

Heh, I don't see why an handheld game should necessarily make use only of the touch screen though. Personally, I also disagree about the 'fatigue' factor, or, at least, I never really experienced it (though I don't have the IPad as a comparison, and I honestly don't intend to buy it).

That footage was from Fallout 3.

As expected some underwhelming coverage.

While I mostly disagree on the Codex since their standards are unreasonably high (what? I can't just stop doing the main quest and instead reinvent myself as a journalist? DAMN YOU OBSIDIAN! DAMN YOU!), and they're selectively oblivious (Fallout's flaws aren't as bad as Dragon Age's flaws or Mass Effect's flaws for.. some reason), I have to agree on that one. Bloodlines doesn't really have C&C, just a choice in the ending like Deus Ex. Underwhelming, but then again, Bloodlines strong point was atmosphere, not gameplay.

Interesting. Also interesting that apparently people who wish that a independent developer goes under for whatever reason, see first comment.

"It's like God coming down to you and saying 'Hey John, I'd like you to write another chapter of the Bible, take it in any direction that you want.'" Quick! SOMEONE PHOTOSHOP FEARGUS' FACE ON JESUS! QUICKLY!

David Gaider talks about 'grey' morality in Dragon Age II

Won't argue that, but who knows, maybe there's a nerd with a broken leg that wants to get a game cheaper?

You can only do so much with Fallout 3 engine cqc. Not that Alpha Protocol's was anything to write home about, but it was at least nice to see and effective, and then again, while Fallout 3's was basically 'mash mash mash mash mash' with an incredibly overpowered perk like paralyzing palm (I think that was the name, I could be wrong). I've seen videos of Behemoths been beaten with that. Really.
