Masterfade Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) My charming city elf maiden. I've heard the epic story of DA:O started when a human noble tried to take her virginity on the night of her wedding. Oh, poor girl. Edited October 14, 2009 by Masterfade
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I see the hair still looks awful. "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!"
Syraxis Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 "Uh, yes." No. Try it again then. Maybe it's only disabled on the first run, but it certainly is able to be skipped here. For the record, I was referring to the "chantry says darkspawn R CORRUPTED HUMANS DERP DERP, join DA WARDENZ!!1" movie.
Purkake Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 The intro movie was pretty much a glorified ad, would have liked to see the actual intro movie.
Deraldin Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 "Uh, yes." No. Try it again then. Maybe it's only disabled on the first run, but it certainly is able to be skipped here. For the record, I was referring to the "chantry says darkspawn R CORRUPTED HUMANS DERP DERP, join DA WARDENZ!!1" movie. I know. It's skippable. At least it is on my computer.
Volourn Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 "Yes." No. Unless, like Deralden suggested, it's only skippable a second time through 'cause it surely wasn't first time through. And, there's no sense for me to load it up again when it's virtually useless anyways. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Syraxis Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 The intro movie was pretty much a glorified ad Would of been nice if it allowed you to test your build in a small training/demo area.

HoonDing Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I find that just like in Fallout 3, it's impossible not to make a male that doesn't look like a complete doofus. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Purkake Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I find that just like in Fallout 3, it's impossible not to make a male that doesn't look like a complete doofus. All the more reason to make a female character? It's funny that all the voices have British accents.
Maria Caliban Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Ferelden's have British accents except for Dalish Elves. Orlesians have French accents. Antivians have Spanish accents. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.

Nepenthe Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 After 40 minutes of installing it says video card not supported. Awesome \o/Oh well, I'll try again on the better comp later. Well, 40 minutes should have been your first clue. It took me five to come to the same conclusion. Amusingly, I tried it for S***s and giggles under vmware fusion; with that, it actually worked all the way to the main menu screen (after the opening vid). Only crashed when I tried going on from there... I'll probably have to give it another shot when Fusion 3 comes out, but I can already claim that it works better when I run windows in a window than when I actually boot into that affront of an operating system. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

Nepenthe Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I suck at this, also I demand pink hair and scars. Don't you get it? This is Dark Fantasy! It means people get covered by ludicrous amounts of blood, not scarred! You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
HoonDing Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) The females could all use a 'Better Bodies' mod... the faces are alright. I like the second preset of the female human noble. Looks a lot like the noble mother from the origin video. Edited October 14, 2009 by virumor The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Pidesco Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I thought that in general all the bodies had weird proportions. The dwarves look like bearded orangutans.

Niten_Ryu Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I thought that in general all the bodies had weird proportions. The dwarves look like bearded orangutans. Common problem in games that use unibody type of solution. In MMOGs even the most casual players seem to notice the difference, even when they can't explain why models look "wrong" somehow. Blizzard don't use unibody type of system and has to custom make animations for models that have different proportions. In Dragon Age dwarf is really good example when unibody goes wrong. For example take default human female model, face it towards the camera and take screenshot. Then do the same with default dwarf female. Open up two different screenshots in your photoshop (or similar program that allow easy image manipulation). Then resize different parts of the one model to match the other. Hands are identical (nimble hands ms. dwarf), arms are same lenght, only thicker. Neck shorter and face is wider. Torso and legs about 1/3 shorter. Human female model is actually very close to a ideal 8 head size like it should be. But dwarf model proportions are complitely messed up. It's too roughly 8 head sizes but not for arms. And it shouldn't be 8 head sizes as it makes models look very awkward, if they are wider (or more like flatten in case of dwarf female). Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.

Can't be worse than the body distortions used by Bethesda in Morrowind. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
Magister Lajciak Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 You can't skip the dumb intro movie. Yes you can. Esc. Not the first time it loads up... on later times you can though.
Purkake Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Yeah, the bodies look weird, like in NWN2. It's like they made awesome heads and then threw in the bodies during the lunch break.
Tel Aviv Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Oh no. Weird bodies, really? They're not Fallout 3 weird are they? I'll wait for the fan mod + nudity patch, thank you very much.
Purkake Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Not Call of Cthulhu-weird, just shouldn't-they-look-better-by-now weird.
Gromnir Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I suck at this, also I demand pink hair and scars. when bg2 joinable npcs were first released to public there were criticism that they were too "cartoony." the pastels were not embraced, and minsc, in particular, looked like a predictably buffoonish character from woody-woodpecker episode, complete with ridiculously toothy grin. folks pointed to recently released iwd portraits as a more aesthetically pleasing alternative. maybe iwd weren't "realism," but at least it weren't cartoon neither. mike saas responds by making bg2 portraits gritty and realistic: he added scars and piercings. *groan* 'least minsc no longer looked like a bio attempt to mock victims o' down's syndrome, but we were amused that biowarian notions o' "dark and gritty" were to remove smiles and add scars and piercings. am hopeful that the bio writers ain't as lazy as the bio artists were. HA! Good Fun!
