Bryy Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Not an RPG, but: Am I literally the only one on Earth that not only saw Broken Age's ending coming a million miles away, but thought it made no sense? No. *Also: That was only 'Act 1', there is more of the game to come; later this year. I do not have high hopes for the twist to make sense.

As did you, but you are just trolling and not posting on topic. As am I now thanks to your terrific trolling. Good job. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Endrosz Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Witcher 3 > Dragon Age: Inquisition. ...which reminds me of an old but very effective joke about the endless RPG sequels, featured in the computer version of Neuromancer. I googled for a screenie, and it turns out that Brian Frago tweeted it just 2 weeks ago -- surprise, surprise, I'm not the only one who remembers that joke from 26 years ago! This was conceived when:The Wizardry series was at nr. 5.The Ultima series was at nr. 5. The Bard's Tale series was at nr. 3. (the final one, as it turned out)The Might and Magic series was at nr. 2.

Valsuelm Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Saying yet to be released sequel A is better than yet to be released sequel B is not saying anything is blasphemous. Not only is it not yet known if these sequels will be good, bad, or meh, it's not yet known what the general consensus will be about them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthe Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Back on topic. Witcher 3 > Dragon Age: Inquisition. I was under the impression that the opposite viewpoint would be heretical on this board. After all, heresy is, in part, determined by the standards of the social unit. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Yeah, let's not presume that X or Y will be better than whatnot. TW3 and DA3 look to be doing two entirely different things. It's like comparing Borderlands to Doom just cause they are both FPS'.

Bryy Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I thought the worst thing about it was the boobie cards. That entire series is as immature about sex as every other game is. I hate all the justifications people try to give for it. The absolute worst ones are "but they are only being true to the books" (so what?) and "but women were treated like cattle back then" (but it's a fictional world). The Triss sex scene in TW2 was so bad. It played out exactly like a wet dream of a high schooler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshugger Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Which is why The Witcher is so refreshing from anglo-saxon based "high fantasy" with chivalrous paladins singing song for their maidens.

Volourn Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 "- Tolkienesque, D&D-fantasy is the Fantasy that we wish to be - The Witcher is the Fantasy of what we truly are" This doesn't even make sense. D&D style fantasy isn't light fluff. Anyone who thinks so is blind. IN BG1, you hunt down a child killing crazy dwarf. In BG2, there is a human skinner who makes leather armour out of human skin and you can choose to where with it. Not to mention that slavery is rampantin the FR. Same with racism and the like. But, yeah, that is the 'Happy Happy World' 'we wish we could be'. There is nothing original or deep or different about The Wicther. It's about a pale white dude who hunts monsters for money - like every other adventurer ever. HAHAHA! 1 DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Valsuelm Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) To add to what Volourn says... While D&D did take some inspiration from Tolkien, by no means was Tolkien it's only influence. There are numerous modules from the early days of D&D that are much darker than the Witcher, and in fact the driving force behind 2nd Edition AD&D ever even existing was the great deal of negative stigma about AD&D in the 80s due to fact that there was so much dark material, in particular things dealing with demons and dark magic. That negative stigma coupled with public pressure by some groups to remove such things and boobies (there was a good deal of nude art in the original books) from the game lead TSR to create 2nd Edition, which for the most part really is 1st edition repackaged without demons and boobies (well, the demons were renamed and toned down anyways). Anyone having played AD&D back in it's glory days could tell you that 2nd edition and 1st edition were near 100% compatible out of the box and with a couple house rules they were 100%, unlike the later editions, which frankly were primarily money grabs by WOTC designed mostly by folks with less imagination than their predecessors.
