Then you should address that to those specific individuals and not project that bull**** onto everyone. But we all agree to it, haven't you been to the patriarchy meetings? Like that time we decided to get the woman behind Plebcomics fired or organize a hate mob against Liana K in our subreddit....oh wait, that was our opopposition.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Yes. Anything without an alternative damage sink(Guard or Barrier) is going to go down fast. For 2-Handers the best way to keep up guard is to use Vanguard talents or Fade-Touched Silverite. I would say SnS Warriors are generally better than 2H ones though. I had the most problem with Rogues TBH. Archery is probably the best option there, considering how fragile they are but if they get bum-rushed chances are they're going to die. Games pretty unbalanced.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
When you have more focus bars filled, the focus ability is more powerful. So pretty much yes, that's all it is. IMO I didn't find myself using them that much on Hard. Seemed like a waste of an ability point for the most part, as it would usually see situational use only.

That's entirely missing the point of Amentep's post. It isn't about supporting the game by buying it, it's about the right to actually make the game and have it sold on a platform if they follow the ToS. And the devs have said they aren't neo-Nazis, so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt.

It's like these people have never heard of the Streisand effect. Anyways, I'm not going to buy the game but unlike some fascists I do believe it has the right to exist. Part of free speech is accepting that works you don't agree with have a right to exist and should not be censored because someone is offended. And Hatred is actually about equality, you can kill anyone regardless of who they are. :D

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Vols right, even if you don't dispel demons in the Hinterlands are outnumbered by animals, bandits, mages, and templars. The only maps they dominate are Exalted Plains and (arguably) that swamp region(in DA undead are demons possessing corpses). Everywhere else they're a small fraction of enemies faced.

What I find funny is that Hatred could be an excellent opportunity to raise critiscm of the carnage resulting from a mentally ill person who has access to weaponry. Its highly unlikely Hatred would intentionally do this, but such an experience could highlight the problems of untreated mental illness on society. Meanwhile, DAI(a game I put about 100 hours into and completed most of the content) receives high praise despite being about killing individuals suckered in to joining a cult or who have become terminally ill because of a religion-sponsored substance abuse problem.

I hope you're not seriously comparing a Bioware romance scene to youporn Yes I am. Both are porn, one just happens to be animated and have "emotional stimulation" while the other is a porn database with many different types of porn. If you have a problem with pornographic material that caters to men, certainly a game where a player can have sex(via avatar) with a female character by selecting the heart option and buying her stuff is problematic as well, at least as much as getting health by paying for sex at any rate.

So we're being lectured on how damaging prostitution is to women by a man who partakes in hookers. Ok then..... In this vein, RPS has a problem with YouPorn sponsoring a DOTA2 team. I wonder how they felt about the pornographic DAI romances? https://archive.today/s0R8g I've heard that archive has been on the fritz, so apologies if it doesn't load.

Yeah, overriding customers desires in a system designed specifically to accommodate said desires is strange. I suppose one could argue that Hatred would violate Steam'spolicy of not carrying any Ao rated game, but as others have pointed out Steam carries games with similar content. At any rate, it's censorship according to that right-wing fringe group the ACLU. I can't wait to see the reaction when some butthurt Christians try to get a SJW indie darling taken down because it offends their sensibilities. Thanks for giving them the precedent to take down "objectionable" games guys.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
I hate that dragon. Have yet to beat it. I'm level 21 and still can't kill it. My character even did 5000+ damage to it once and it barely scratch its hit points and it didn't have any defenses up either. Cheating game. I beat that on hard with little trouble. What build are you using?

I'm honestly confused by that mentality highlighted at the end. Everything is flawed, so we should stop trying to make it better? I think I'm going to continue advocating for improvement, regardless if "everything is ****ing corrupt" because that isn't an excuse to accept ****ty standards.
