Nepenthe Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 To be extra nitpicky she's got those annoying asymmetric gloves Bioware loves. Well, archers wear those kind of gloves, so it's actually a droplet of realism in the game. But, yes, those two are pretty dire. In fact, the character and area intros have really cooled my interest for the game... 2 You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Barothmuk Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Well, archers wear those kind of gloves, so it's actually a droplet of realism in the game. Got me there. Happy coincidence for Bioware. They just love their asymmetry. Edited June 9, 2014 by Barothmuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManifestedISO Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Same, my interest has cooled right off a cliff. Urgh, what is this strange tone they're going with ... Whatever, I hate that they know I'll buy it and play it, and play it again, no matter what they do. That's an evil power to hold over people. Wait, what if I didn't buy it ... what if I ... I ... All Stop. On Screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirottu Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Are those quotes that Bioware picked out to introduce characters? Because they are terrible. But honestly the advertising for the Dragon Age has been terrible since they decided to focus on blood splatter as a selling point. I don't think these quotes are even remotely as bad as the "awesome button guy". This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

aluminiumtrioxid Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Are those quotes that Bioware picked out to introduce characters? Because they are terrible. Yet still better than 80% of the dialogue spewed by "sarcastic" Hawke. Let that sink in a bit. "Lulz is not the highest aspiration of art and mankind, no matter what the Encyclopedia Dramatica says."

Meshugger Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Well, let me try: The big guy - "You think that you have killed many men on the battlefield?! I slaughtered more men that you ever have met" The weird girl - "Murderers, rapists and slavers, know this: There is, and will be no escape for your kind. When you are brought to justice, you will wish for your own death, as it is the only release from the pain that you will face" Took me about 5 minutes during a coffee-break. 3 "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyrock Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) It's as if someone at Bio spent 15 minutes programming a generic edgy slogan generator. All I know is that I now have no desire whatsoever to meet Iron Bull nor Sera at #EAE3. I'm not sure if that was the desired effect.

Gromnir Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 it's a trailer. trailers typical tell us nothing useful 'bout the game. we liked the planescape trailer, but other than that it were using the ie engine, we could glean almost zero that were useful. we also liked the music, but the composer for the trailer was different than for most of the game, and some o' those cut-scenes is o' stuff we never saw in the game. it's a trailer. HA!

Keyrock Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I dig the lion helm at 1:07 / 1:08. Hopefully you can have the Inquisitor wear a lion helm, because that helmet they always show the Inquisitor wearing is fugly something fierce.
