Dragon Age: Inquisition

"More then console players?"

 

Console players tend to be busy doing their stupid console wars of whose is bigger and better and why. They deserved slapping too.

That gameplay video looked awesome. I wonder if I would be able to follow the story having missed all the previous games.

I'd say that's a definite yes, knowing Bioware.

You are getting better and better, wise one.

How about them pinball players, I hear they go on tilt often!

[Osvir]

Osvir, I think you're over thinking this a tad bit.

Depends on who is reading it. I like to dig deep and analyze various perspectives because I think it's fun to do so

[Keyrock]

 

Why doesn't Vivienne have a Frenchie accent?

 

Because French accents are associated with running away, gelatinous cheese, duplicity and small, unreliable motor cars.

 

Only accents from This Blessed Plot can convince 'Muricans that there is a proper villain about.

 

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, don't be hatin' on French cheeses.

That's why you're a wiki dude. And I applaud you for that. 

 

Edit: I confused you with Ausir, please ignore this stupid post

"Morrigan was high int, low wis."

 

How so? She seemed to have a lot of common sense. What she lacked was proper (modernized) social skills since had no problem verbally assaulting people when they annoyed her. And, she wasn't as empathetic as she could be towards strangers.

"Proper (modernized)" social skills? You think there were no rules of etiquette or a concept of tact in Þe olden tymes (it's a fantasy game with a medieval-equivalent setting)? She was a misanthrope, plain and simple.

 

There's a reason the ancient Greeks coined the term "barbarian," after all. Philosophers debating amongst grand marble colonnades several centuries BCE were decidedly more refined than their neighbors to the north, or merely outside the city.

Don't be so butthurt.

I don't think you'd need to. It's not like the Mass Effect series where it's just one big story.

 

The most important part of DA:O is that you prevented the blight from spreading across the land. DA 2 showed the mages splitting from the Chantry and the Templars starting a war against them.

 

The Templar/Circle war isn't the main conflict of DA:I though. It's that the Veil has torn and demons are spilling into the world.

But they often do cameos and returning companions and their stories are not really touched upon since most of it develops over time rather than in a single event.

[Monte Carlo]

I like the combat movement animation on the fighter with the two-hander. He sort of trudges under all that armour.

 

I liked DA:O's tactical view and I'm not a graphics hound, so if they upgrade and stick with that I'd be happy. But it's not going to be a day one purchase for me, will wait to see what fellow Bio-sceptics here say about it and sweep it up with a GotY type deal.

 

This is the reason I never touched Da2 with a bargepole.

I'm thinking PC gamers should be physically slapped in the face every now and then, so they could put it into perspective a bit more.

Oh, you mean the perspective that we have the better machines for "proper" gaming, but still have to put up with those annoying console people?

 

I have to admit, the more I hear about DA:I, the more tempting it gets. I'm interested in just how much actual choice & consequence there will be and how much you can actually shape/effect the development of the Inquisition through the game. It's making me feel like they're trying to make a crpg that actually covers that old style of D&D when you hit 9th level and got a Keep and followers    Having that shift from "ye low-level adventurer hacking kobolds" to "stately world affecting character and his minions".

 

It's an interesting idea, let's just see how the execution of it actually holds up this time around.

I was thinking of the "cheaper games, fewer buyers, yet still expect special treatment" perspective, but that works, too :D

I always thought console people needed a slapping to get them to pick up on that.

You have a machine that doesn't work as well as a pc, and you still pay silly money for games to play on it that are usually not quite as capable as pc games..

Handheld > arcade > console > PC.

Let's stop all this slapping and feel the love.

You don't like sandpaper fapping? Tsh, peasant

About the combat, the video looks like its an action game but I only have enough twitch to control one toon at a time, ala D3. Is every single action, like in the video where the warrior is hacking away at the dude with the tower shield, is every single swing a button push? Is combat a frantic affair of button pushing and character switching?

It is in the console version, the PC version should have auto-attack enabled by default (the console version should have that option too). But I still don't get if those rolls, grabs and jumps are abilities, or do they have action/movement keys.

[PK htiw klaw eriF]

Auto-Attack damn well better be an option, and all that rolling should be able to be done without having to constantly press buttons. I do think that movement speed for the 2-handed guy could stand to be a bit faster.

I'd say consoles were fine, back in the days when they did their own thing and didn't fail at being PC lite. Those days are long gone now though.
