Maria Caliban Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 If anyone's interested, Bioware is now taking applications for participation in the DA End User Tools beta. I applied weeks ago. I don't think they love me. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PoziomyPion Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Somehow the buzz around DA doesn't affect me, even though I was eagerly awaiting Mass Effect. DA seems so uninspired, and if you add the whole PC exclusive thing and Gaiders book(and run he did Lolipops feast). Meh. Gonna skip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria Caliban Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 DA isn't a PC exclusive. And.. the book is fine. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maria Caliban Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Did anyone get the full book by the way? A woman I know on the DA board bought 25 copies and sent one to me. "When is this out.

Wrath of Dagon Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 So far I read about 1/3 and it's pretty good, except for one event which was so non-sensical it made me grit my teeth in frustration.

Llyranor Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I bet it has tons of interesting, well-developed characters. They should put "From the creator of Carth Onasi" on the cover. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath of Dagon Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 No one as good as Carth, but then it's hard to compare game characters to book.

Imported Beer? Yes. Though I think she only ended up buying ten. Either way, instead of sending me a copy, she ordered one from amazon.com and sent it to me. Now I'm trying to figure out what to send her. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.

H Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 "And run he did." is a meme at the Codex. That sample chapter was hilariously bad. Then again, it's BioWare. The only reason they get away with their crappy writing is because 90% of other developers are even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath of Dagon Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I think it improves though. Having said that, if you didn't like anything in the sample chapter, you probably won't like the book either. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity."

Meshugger Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Wait, there's actually books about Dragon Age? Are they prequels of some sorts, or are they something of a kin of Silmarillion-wannabes?

H Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 There is a prequel novel written by DGaider. I think it's called Dragon Age: Origins: Origins, or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PoziomyPion Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) DA isn't a PC exclusive. And.. the book is fine. By saying the whole PC exclusive thing I meant that game was announced as PC excusive like a couple of years ago, then recently they said it's gonna be released on consoles, but a bit later, and even more recently they said it's gonna be a simultaneous release for consoles and PC. I just can't believe it's gonna be a typical PC RPG like BG2 after all that (they advertise it as such) Edited April 12, 2009 by PoziomyPion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
