C2B Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Movie wasn't bad, a nod towards the game but not exactly canon. Gah PC claptrap. Outside Hollywood girls don't wield swords (mostly). I really hope I don't get stuck playing a girl. I've got the game pre-ordered via Amazon, which means I won't get it until 'til about June but 4 characters only and at least one girl. Obsidian needs to release some really convincing preview info. The graphics are sweet but I'm not interested in staring at a sweetly rendered girls backside for 24 hours or however long the game takes to clock. Actually I'm not interested in staring at a guys backside either but at least that's easier to tune out oO Anyway A little unrelated but someone uploaded a youtube version of the 4players video Edit: Also I'm pretty sure big boobs girl is the gunslinger.

Also, are mastiffs hounds, or are those different hounds that are baying? "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan

Also, are mastiffs hounds, or are those different hounds that are baying? Its his journal. I'd think he would burn or at least dispose of it if he gets found. Also considering he clearly refers to his pursuers in context when he speaks about the hounds. Yes, the massif are the hounds. Edited March 16, 2011 by C2B
Wrath of Dagon Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I was being sacastic, a mastiff is not a hound. And instead of trying to escape while he still has time, he'd turn his attention to destroying the journal, eating it may be? Doesn't make sense.

No, there are dozens of ways to dispose of documents very fast. Eating is one of them. This is not even some obscure tactic. During wars, especially for messenger/scouts this was/is common practice. I don't really see whats so weird about it. About the hound. Well, yes. If we are only speaking about the british mastiff. Do we exclude crossbreads for example? Also, its a fantasy world. So, its pretty excusable. Edited March 16, 2011 by C2B

hopfrog16 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Hmmm... Interesting... I might be wrong, but weren't the farmlands south of Stonebridge where you started in the first game?

Thats what the text says? But now we've reached the gates of Stonebridge, and we've decided not to enter the city, after all. The people of Stonebridge murdered every legionnaire within the walls, and now I hear rumors of unrest in the streets. I plan to head south, instead, to the farmlands and the coast.

Sannom Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I don't see what in that quote indicates that those farmlands are where the first game started .

Also, I'm pretty sure the first game started in the farmlands. I was just curious if the farmlands mentioned were those specific farmlands. =) If so, maybe that means it's a place we might be able to visit in the game? Would be interesting to see it for fans of the franchise, though I doubt it would look anything like it did originally (especially since so much time has gone by in the continent of Ehb). I'm just curious to see how all these different places I'm familiar with have changed according to Obsidian's artists. To be honest, the effort and detail put into the artistry of this game is my favorite aspect of DS3 so far, so that's perfectly fine with me. The atmosphere was my favorite aspect of the first game too, so I'm glad to see Obsidian continuing that tradition whether that was their intention or not, heh. =) Edited March 22, 2011 by hopfrog16
George Ziets Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Yep. Odo is talking about the same farmlands from DS1.
Starwars Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Somebody give this man a developer tag! Always fun to have more devs on the forums. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
hopfrog16 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Yep. Odo is talking about the same farmlands from DS1. Awesome! I've been impressed how Obsidian has treated the lore in this game... The extra effort is very much appreciated. =)
Sannom Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) The description of Katarina is up on the site : http://www.dungeonsiege.com/characters-katarina.php So she is Lucas' half-sister, he? The 'illegitimate child' seems to be a trope that comes out a lot in fantasy RPGs lately, no? It also clears things up a little about the kind of magic she uses : curses to weaken the enemy, and enchanted bullets to lay the hurt on them! I'm going to bet that the last character to be revealed will be a descendant of the Gunderic family. They weren't mentioned in the time-line for nothing, me thinks! Edited April 2, 2011 by Sannom
Labadal Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 She actually sounds like a fun character to play as.

The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Starwars Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Not sure if there'll be any full-blown banter like in Dragon Age or whatever but we know that companions will comment on certain areas and such when going through them. Some of it may be character-sensitive, I remember that New York demo where Lucas and Anjali were fighting together, they open a chest and find a piece of armor inside. And Anjali said something like "I'm sure that'll look more flattering on me than you." Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
hopfrog16 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 The third page of Odo's journal is up. The more I read about Jeyne kassynder, the more she reminds me of the Teyrn Loghain from Dragon Age. That's fine be me since I loved hating that guy, heh. I must wonder, though, why everyone is so quick to follow her? In Dragon Age Loghain was a war hero, but in this game I'm not sure why Kassynder is so well loved when she apposes their prince so openly (I don't know... Maybe he is a terrible ruler?). I will be looking forward to the info regarding that stuff later on.
Sannom Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I don't know if she reminds me of Loghain as a character, especially her age, but I definitely think there will be a choice like the one in Dragon Age, about killing her or seeking her support. As for her charisma... I'm betting she's an Archon. Hence the 'divine gifts' she was said to have at a young age.
Lord Elvewyn Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Only the US version. The English language site's still missing it.
