Nepenthe Posted June 9, 2014 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? Reapercussions
Barothmuk Posted June 9, 2014 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
ManifestedISO Posted June 9, 2014 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.
kirottu Posted June 9, 2014 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.

I don't think these quotes are even remotely as bad as the "awesome button guy". They are way worse. What the hell is up with this elf chick? Is she some sort of emo with a bowl cut? And the quotes. Good lord. Can Chris Avellone at least give these guys some pointers? 1
aluminiumtrioxid Posted June 9, 2014 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."

But I'm actually surprised there aren't any metal spikes coming out of her body. Edited June 9, 2014 by Woldan I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Meshugger Posted June 9, 2014 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

Keyrock Posted June 9, 2014 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.

lobotomy42 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 This is nothing new, marketing always focuses on the shallowest parts. Do you guys even remember the campaign for Mass Effect 2? http://gematsu.com/2010/01/mass-effect-2-posters-decorate-california

Gromnir Posted June 9, 2014 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.

Keyrock Posted June 9, 2014 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.

Gfted1 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Oh, I thought that was the HMFIC. Was that just an NPC? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
HoonDing Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Reminds me of Oblivion. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Morgoth Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Horribly colorful and comical creature design. I wasn't expecting anything less of the studio formely known as Bioware. Rain makes everything better.
Bryy Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 So the reveal trailer showed us nothing we didn't already know about the characters.
Nepenthe Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Oh, I thought that was the HMFIC. Was that just an NPC? I think it was the inquisitir, there. Agree that the media helm is ugly as sin. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
