Tale Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Morrigan. Why, Bio, WHY? What happened? "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Monte Carlo Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 They're shoe-horning yet another 'we love our NPCs so you must too' moment into one of their games. What happened to the kill-annoying-NPCs-and-that's-the-last-of-them principle that kept RPGs fun?
Tale Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Wait, so she is showing up in DA 2? "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Guest Slinky Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I actually liked the Deep Roads, mostly because I like everything that has to do with dwarves. The doorbell rings. You walk to the door and open it. The second the door opens, a frenzied dwarf jumps at you and starts stabbing you in the face. Will you: A: Let the pal have his fun, because heck, it's a cute little dwarf! B: Grab the bastard from the beard and ram him into the blender Morrigan. Why, Bio, WHY? Claudia Black. Am I the only one who thinks Morrigan/Claudia speaks like she is telling a story to a child in DA? That was rather annoying in my opinion. Claudia sounded a lot better in ME2, much more like herself.

Volourn Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) "Bioware screws up release of DA Ultimate Edition" Why do you lie? The article clearly states it was EA who 'screwed' things up so why make stuff up? Anyways... Deep Roads probably had some of the most fun battles in the game, and was truly a legendary dungeon. then again, I like everything dwarf too so *shrug*... excpt one of BIO's worst npcs ever - a specific dwarf in DA... "They're shoe-horning yet another 'we love our NPCs so you must too' moment into one of their games. What happened to the kill-annoying-NPCs-and-that's-the-last-of-them principle that kept RPGs fun?" Morrigan is easily the best npc in the game, and a top 5 BIO NPC ever. Plus, I don't recall her being killable unless it was in a silly DLC.

Morgoth Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 "Bioware screws up release of DA Ultimate Edition" Why do you lie? The article clearly states it was EA who 'screwed' things up so why make stuff up? European copies of Dragon Age: Ultimate Edition for the PlayStation 3 were shipped with the wrong content, developer BioWare has admitted. Bioware puts those gold masters together. Rain makes everything better.
Nepenthe Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) I know some disliked the Fade, but I thought it was fine. I'm going to assume that a lot of people think like me (wrong, I know), and assume that the problem with the fade was that it was an interminably long and boring segment within an interminably long and boring dungeon. Conceptually, the fade was fine (and the execution in Awakening somewhat better, even though Blackmarsh was pretty much my least favourite part of the game, as it, again, felt a bit stretched out). Am I the only one who thinks Morrigan/Claudia speaks like she is telling a story to a child in DA? That was rather annoying in my opinion. Claudia sounded a lot better in ME2, much more like herself. Wait, what? Who was she in ME2? One of the quarian generals(or whatever). And Matriarch Aethyta AND the Rachni Ambassador... Having wrong/missing content in one region of one platform doesn't quite sound like a complete "botch of the release", tbh. Considering that the Euro CE's of both ME2 and DAO were delayed by weeks.

That's impossible! If Claudia Black had voiced them I would have noticed. I would have noticed! *wheeps uncontrollably* Have I failed?

Monte Carlo Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 The Deep Roads were a moment of RPG awesomeness, evidence that deep in the soppy emo depths of Bioware still beats the heart of a strapping, virile gamer.
Tale Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) A strapping, virile gamer that loves Diablo. Stupid overly long hack and slash section. I think it even has respawning enemies at a point or two. I'm just teasing, it wasn't as bad as Diablo.

I'll take pretending not to be a crappy Diablo clone over revelling in it any day of the week. It's like, what would you prefer, your date to wear the bag or not to wear the bag?

HoonDing Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) Personally I find the Denerim parts before the Archdemon way worse than the Fade or the Deep Roads. Also, Howe's estate. I savoured the very few parts of the game where I could skip combat, especially that part where it involved selling Elves into slavery. Edited November 1, 2010 by virumor The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Maria Caliban Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 What happened to the kill-annoying-NPCs-and-that's-the-last-of-them principle that kept RPGs fun? You could kill Wynne, Alister, Loghain, Shale, Zevran, and Leliana. You could also never pick-up Leliana, Shale, Sten, and the Dog. Wait, so she is showing up in DA 2? There's no indication she's going to be in the game. We know Flemeth is in it. It's possible Morrigan makes an appearance. Might depend on the save file from DA:O. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
entrerix Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 i've said it several times already but dragon age origins would have been a better game imo if it had only 3-4 fights per dungeon. make em big and hard, but far between. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
