    I remember when he was the "Go Dwarves, Go!" guy...

    I like the idea of the camping supplies instead of rest spots. Will be interesting to see how that shapes up.

    "in the future"?

    ^Many people felt Irenicus' Dungeon served as a tutorial level. There was even a mod allowing you to skip it and start outside the dungeon.

    Because the people who backed this game were specifically offered and wanted a game with 2d, pre-rendered backgrounds rather than a fully 3d game. IIRC the stated reason was that the DS3 engine, Onyx, required the use of middleware that was too expensive to use with regard to their Kickstarter funding even though Obsidian owned the Onyx engine as they created it. So they went with Unity which gave them everything they needed without the cost problems Onyx presented. Given that IIRC Onyx was used for South Park: Stick of Truth, I'm not sure if cost hadn't been an issue if they couldn't have adapted Onyx to do a 2d, prerendered background

    I suppose you could have been offended by what he said to her and the way he dismissed her. As I mentioned it wasn't just a " no I don't like you " it was a personal and malicious rejection of her attention. I was offended and annoyed by his comments Were you just as offended by the lady's rebuttal argument that did the same to the guy?

    I'd assume that since customer support is controlled by Ubisoft that when/where/how to release the patch is with them as well. The Patch Notes certainly imply it with the stuff about Ubi testing the patches for approval to release on consoles. I still haven't seen confirmation the 03 patch is out in the US on the X-Box (its been confirmed on PS3 and PC) much less any international releases.

    I think part of the problem is the implicit assumption in the games that romance = sex. They already acknowledge a few times in the DA series that sex /= romance, but they can't shake the converse (or is that contrapositive...?) But part of this is - IMO - the view that the romance exists as an ego stroke and not a part of the story. The player is supposed to feel like they "win", which is why so many people see them as a sex minigame.

    Someone likes Game of Thrones a lot. Yeah, the desire to play Jaime Lannister seemed strong in several posters on that thread. "What is best in life?" "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women." "That is good! That is good."

    IIRC this was the first thread on the subject (the one where Gaider gave the response of "This is not going to happen, and the fact that it's even being requested makes me wonder") so you can check it out yourself to see if you think it was serious or not: Bethany as a Love Interest

    10 months was the final tally, IIRC (although I've read that there may have been preliminary IWD2 work done earlier). It was - again IIRC - supposed to be done a couple of months earlier but that extra time was put in to make some additional changes including fully implementing a version of the 3e rules (rather than the AD&D 2e kit system with some 3e influences originally planned).

    Sorry Sarex but I reject this type of comment as nothing but Bioware bashing propaganda. The thought that you are suggesting that there are people on BSN who think incest could be considered normal or realistic is ludicrous. If people did say this they were trolling or joking but this does not reflect what people on BSN think is a normal Romance option in any respect. This is just taking the whole " BSN people are weird " too far and I have to dispute this insinuation While I don't think everyone in those threads were serious about it, I think some were very, very serious about it. As mentioned, its why I quit Bio's boards (not that anyone cared, I was by that point mainly a lurker).

    You are King Cailan and I claim my £5. Who? Tch, and in a dragon age thread, no less...
  14. Amentep
    I don't know if it was outrage or people going "Hell yeah! You tell 'em!" in agreement or what.
  15. Amentep
    Weird, I had never heard that was possible.

    That was when I left the Bio boards. There was a poster demanding he be able to romance his sister because he wanted to play a "Jamie Lannister" character and I'm not sure how serious he was, but then a bunch of others took it up and that was it for me.
  18. Amentep
    Sadly, not the kind of committed they deserve. They're romance fans. They're in to commitment. Can't be too surprised, really.

    The link and its rebuttal linked in the article are exercises in narcissism. Neither writer appears to actually be interested in the theoretical other person in any way except how that person connects to them.

    Last time my computer was working I was using a keyboard from the late 1980s. It is, in many ways, the tank of keyboards. I think it'd stop a bullet and still work.

    At least they were consistent - cf Nalia and complaining about not helping the less fortunate when doing the quest she asks you to do in BGII.

    Based on the current evidence, I deduce it is from a man named Brucesam.

    as much as I appreciate the effort, my questions are actually serious. The examples I mentioned are sadly missing from RPGs nowadays... Sorry, I assumed your use of "Path of Exile" instead of "Pillars of Eternity" indicated a lack of seriousness about your post. Mea Culpa.

    I haven't been keeping up with the progress with it, but then I'm not strongly aligned to the game. Pledged for InExile to make the game, I'll judge it when I play the finished product. That said, what I've seen looked okay to enjoyable from a cursory view.
