  1. There are too many hooks and too many triggers and it doesn't make any sense. How about that. I've got two thieves and two mages in my party because they were the only NPCs I could stand looking at, and I can't do any of them. It makes more sense that a certain spell yould leave you open to another type. Or damage bonus on backstab if the target is completely immobile. The fact that it has goes cross class and that there are at least 8 or 10 hooks, triggers and related states makes the gameplay feel like a cardgame or dodgeball with really complicated rules. 'Wait a minuite, am I allowed to hit or do I have to pass first to get the bonus points ?'
  2. Really basic level nuissances in the gameplay as I'm noticing now, replaying DA2. You can't switch between a ranged and a melee weapon. Why ?. They came up with 4 different damage state effects which are basically the same, stunned, staggered, shaken, stirred... so you would have to chose a member from each class in your party to take maximum advantage of cross class combos. Just really bad design decisions.
  3. They keep hintng at it, Haven't read the books, just second hand.
  4. You make it sound like a chore. There is a choice you know.
  5. Well, they do kind of suggest that you replay the game in another class. Why not just have included a save game editor at character creation for the benifit of those who hadn't played ME1. Would have ensured that a replay could be significantly different.
  6. All the Me2 squad member missions occur, with the actual Me2 member or a body double. Well except those where you just truck around the citadel. Don't know about Miranda mission since it's only one dialouge that would have to be altered, but I suspect it's the same. The reaper Rachni queen is just another body double for the real one.
  7. I considered buying it on the cheap, looked at some youtube gameplay and decided against it. Too cartoony.
  8. A few extra chocolate eggs and seasonal beers on sale. That's about it. How do you get from there to consumer orgy.
  9. Replaying DA2 with mark of the Assassin. Havent gotten to where i can start the DLC yet. I might have been a bit unfair to the game. It's not terrible. It's just half the NPCs that poison the well. It's sortof OK-ish if you just ignore Fenris and whatshisface, the cleric that betrays you later on, whenever possible. Ohh and bow guy, I really hate him too. And your buthurt brother criticising everything you do just because. It does leave you with very few choices though and since I'm playing a mage and the magic skill doesn't actually transfer to spell damage, just staff damage, I'm finding it hard. No healers available, and I'll be damned if I'm going to do that myself. Hawke is for ass kicking.
  10. What are we celebrating again. Bunny > Jesus > ? > profit. P
  11. I agree, up tp a point. Nothing good ever came of trying to please everyone. Although apparently nothing good came to begin with so where to begin.
  12. I told you there was going to be dozens of those for the average gamer before long.
  13. Did I understand this correctly. Microsoft wanted to put out a version of windows which doesn't allow you to install anything from disks, but makes everything an app store. I don't see end users accepting that. For some reason they have with apple, but their windows PC, no.
  14. yeah spotify is pretty sweet. I just hate that you can't subscribe without letting them have your facebook information. Obviously a tool to ensure snowballing and momentum in the early phase, it's just that my facebook is none of their damn business. I don't want to have to bother creating a fake profile just to be allowed to sign up to a PAID service.
  15. Surely there are more drunks who pee upon a tree than sex offenders. If you make a list like that better make sure it means something.
  16. You don't pay the same taxes if you are self employed ?. or is it that you don't have them deducted from your check so you have to set that money aside to pay at the end of the year.
  17. It was put there so Mordin would have a reason to sacrifice himself. If they had wanted it to be convinving, Sheppard would have sabotaged the cure dispersal under directions from the Dalitrass (sp?). Coherency was not a priority. Lots of moments like that that make you go, 'hmm, that's convenient'. Like why does Mordin have to take an elevator to a room that explodes while the rest of the shroud is undamaged.
  18. Only thing i know of is the tabletop RPG.
  19. Well there was going to be a seperate ME multiplayer game which got cancelled, so obviously rather than do nothing with what they had done they stuck it in the game and in the upcomming multiplayer DLC.
  20. You just lack finesse. it makes all the difference. You can report something you have observed, you can't encourage people to do it. Whether straighforward or between the lines. Gorgon : Episode 2 has been leaked. Junai : look at me, I'm totally downloading episode 2. The distinction doesn't seem that difficult to me.
  21. Looks like motherships. A la homeworld. Nice.
  22. http://store.steampowered.com/video/204880/81546
  23. There's political capital in being tough on crime. Not nearly as much in trying to adopt universally senisble solutions.
