Morgoth Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Bioware is at it again: The masters of story-telling and writing complex and deep characters like Grunt present a new video. "I don't care where I fight, as long as I can hurt someone. Hahaha". Rain makes everything better.

"I don't care where I fight, as long as I can hurt someone. Hahaha". I guess they thought that the meathead jock audience needed someone to identify with... I hope there will be an option to "sacrifice" him.
Maria Caliban Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) A new interview, http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/101/1014425p1.html The biggest three choices in ME 1: 1: Who did you save on Virmire? 2: Who did you romance? 3: Did you save the council? I guess they thought that the meathead jock audience needed someone to identify with... I hope there will be an option to "sacrifice" him. From what I'm reading, all the new party members qualify as the scum of the universe. Assassins, brutes, alien-haters... Edited August 18, 2009 by Maria Caliban "When is this out.

Meshugger Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) Jesus christ, those bewbs are uglaaaeee. Bioware quickly! Call the boob-designers at CD Project. They knew how to make the most wonderful boobs that us boobmen out there would cherish forever. And that "Grunt" fellow isn't unpredictable or anything. He's simply an angry mongoloid on stereoids. I was surprised that it could even talk.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Bioware is at it again: The masters of story-telling and writing complex and deep characters like Grunt present a new video. "I don't care where I fight, as long as I can hurt someone. Hahaha". Oh great, another strip club. By the way, that trailer probably showed all there was to Grunt. He probably doesn't have anything interesting to say other than "I like to kill stuff". [/pessimism] "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Oner Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I feel like Grunt is shown to us in the trailer so we know we're not supposed to shoot him the second we meet him.

Purkake Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 There's the Blood Dragon armor at the very end. It looks like Shepherd visited a gift shop in one of those Stargate renfare planets.
HoonDing Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Wow, that's some real dark heroic fantasy sci-fi. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

He was the product of iguana rape and anabolic steroids, and while he in general kills everything and everyone he also has an emo side, that is revealed after the 4th significant dialog.

Maria Caliban Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) Because ME's characters were boring. After interacting with Grunt, you will appreciate what a rich and nuanced character Wrex was thus leaving room for his triumphant return in ME 3. Great move BioWare! Join us next week when they introduce a male human romance that makes Carth and Anomen seem like the most manly and romantic of partners. Edited August 18, 2009 by Maria Caliban "When is this out.

Purkake Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 There really should be an option to shoot the potential companions instead of asking them to join your merry band of scoundrels.
Volourn Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Anyone who calls ME characters 'boring' than brags about how awesome and deep characters like Minsc, Viconia, Madfire, and the like were, I will laugh at them. Nonstop. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
HoonDing Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 There really should be an option to shoot the potential companions instead of asking them to join your merry band of scoundrels. I hear that is possible in Dragon Age. (Die, Morrigan, die!!!) The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

At this point, it looks like they've punted the idea of a Paragon shepard to the sidelines. Our NPCs so far are 1) murderer who kills for fun, 2) murderer who kills for money, and 3) murderer who kills so humans can rule over all other races.

Don't worry, I'm sure they feel really bad about it.
Wrath of Dagon Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 No worries, this is obviously Bioware's heartwarming version of "The Dirty Dozen". "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Nah, they're just making Shepard a jerk because every fan of theirs thinks it's awesome. Being a murderous badass is now the epitome of roleplaying. PS: You can really feel the love in this thread. Edited August 19, 2009 by WILL THE ALMIGHTY "Alright, I've been thinking.

Purkake Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 PS: You can really feel the love in this thread. Well the Grunt video is like the ME2's "violence trailer". I still can't even get over the name
Jaesun Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Have they released there will be a Male + Male romance... ish NPC for ME2? Just wondering. Still need to play through ME1 and have no romances... now that I know WHAT explicitly to avoid. Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography
