GhostofAnakin Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 One thing I'm curious about since I don't think it was mentioned in the write up, is there magic in this setting? Or will we finally see another RPG without magic being front and centre?

Volourn Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 No answer; but you can ask that question at the new Mass Effect forums that were opened like 5 minutes ago.

Epiphany Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Sure. That must explain Dragon Age. And, the PM expansion for NWN which is going on 4 years old. Yup, PC is dying. Uhuh. Sure. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>   They still make Gamecube games as well. Just because the ship is sinking, doesn't mean everyone abandons the platform.  Console gaming is where it's at, it's got the largest pool of gamers, and the most sales of games. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â Just because 500 billion people have a computer doesn't mean they all game. Multiplatform titles that span into the PC market, always sell better on the console. Even games that have big followings, like the Elder Scrolls, sold 3:1 on the Xbox over the PC version in regards to Morrowind. Oblivion on the X360 will outsell the PC version by a large margin as well. Â There are simply more gamers on consoles than on PC, otherwise, all these former "PC only" developers would be jumping ship to the console market.

jaguars4ever Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 That's not a dwarf. It's a tin can. Doesn't count though I've been given a pretend promise that they'll try to add a 'dwarf character'. R00fles!  P.S. Stop your whining, Kaftan. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is a dwarf!

That should tell you what you are getting for good or for ill. I don't buy Bioware games. Â But I have high hopes for Dragon Age. All they have to do is to stop treating their audience like idiots by dumbing down the games more and more for every iteration. Oh, and they could also try and stray from the path of "the chosen one" when writing the story and it'd be even better. Â I really did like KotOR though.

Volourn Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Odd. That one had the 'most' Chosen One' story ever. More so than BG, NWN, or JE. Your logic is lacking. And, BG as much a I enjoyed it, was 'dumbed down' more than any other BIO game. Afterall, it didn't even non weapon proficiencies! Â You make exuses. It doens't matter whether you buy them. The bottom line is you play them, and continue to play them. Stop making exuses. The exuse of 'my bosses paid for it', or 'it's a free copy' is lame. Â Nice try, though.
