Valmy Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 plots just seemed more contrived. I hear you regarding the melodrama, but it'd be pretty tough to get more "contrived" than the main plots to Baldur's Gate and Knights of the Old Republic were. I didn't think much about Baldur's Gate was too illogical given the setting. Well until Throne of Bhaal but they had a lot to wrap up in a short period of time. KOTOR I guess did go into some bizarre territory.
ShadySands Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Please tell us what it is like one you've played around with it. I think the Keep is a pretty good idea for establishing world states from previous games. You're not allowed to talk about it though right dude? Yeah, I'm only allowed to say that there is a beta and I'm in it :/ Free games updated 3/4/21
marelooke Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Woo dragons! Sure these have already been posted, but just in case - 30 mins of official gameplay footage. Apparently pre-dates E3 2014 Part 2: Torturing someone wearing armor, that must be new (I'll give them the benefit of the doubt though and assume that's placeholder material) Tactical view looks annoying at best, I'd probably avoid it unless it turns out better than what's shown here (aka, closer to the DA:O view, wich already was too limited in how far you could move the camera away from your party) and just power through the fights, DA2 style.

They're torturing her by messing up her shoes. 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

Yeah, I'm only allowed to say that there is a beta and I'm in it :/ Do you think it'll be released soon though? Well, they're planning to release it with a little lead time before the game comes out, and the game comes out in less than three months. So I guess it depends on your definition of "soon."
Zoraptor Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Everything is fine when that picked "mood" will result in satisfactory dialogue, but when that doesn't happen I can't say I'm too pleased about it. That's the big thing, the tendency to end up saying stuff you don't intend to. Certainly not just a Bioware problem though, it's a more general dialogue wheel problem as it happened in Alpha Protocol a couple of times. But it is less with full sentence options.

BruceVC Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Wow that was excellent, its like watching an exciting trailer for a movie "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Amentep Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Except some of the dialogue (particularly Morrigan's) didn't match her mouth movements (was it unsynced for anyone else or just me?) I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Malcador Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Pretty meh trailer, the ME3 one was far better. Morrigan's "set them free" sentence was said with weird lips.

Keyrock Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) That trailer felt oddly disjointed, like it was rather haphazardly thrown together. The elements of a good trailer were all there, but there was little rhyme or reason to how they were put together.

NOK222 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Besides, shouldn't they wait for release time for a release trailer? Ka-ka-ka-ka-Cocaine!
Valmy Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Wow that was excellent, its like watching an exciting trailer for a movie That is what they do: cinematic gameplay.

Malcador Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Besides, shouldn't they wait for release time for a release trailer? Nah, that's known as a launch trailer.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Meh, that trailer doesn't give me any idea of how the game will play. "Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman run the 21st century version of MK ULTRA." - majestic "you're a damned filthy lying robot and you deserve to die and burn in hell." - Bartimaeus "Without individual thinking you can't notice the plot holes." - InsaneCommander "Just feed off the suffering of gamers." - Malcador "You are calling my taste crap." -Hurlshort "thankfully it seems like the creators like Hungary less this time around." - Sarex "Don't forget the wakame, dumbass" -Keyrock "Are you trolling or just being inadvertently nonsensical?' -Pidesco "we have already been forced to admit you are at least human" - uuuhhii "I refuse to buy from non-woke businesses" - HoonDing "feral camels are now considered a pest" - Gorth "Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person" - Melkathi "Oddly enough Sanderson was a lot more direct despite being a Mormon" - Zoraptor "I found it greatly disturbing to scroll through my cartoon's halfing selection of genitalias." - Wormerine "I love cheese despite the pain and carnage." - ShadySands
Raithe Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Well, that trailer was moody, atmospheric, kind of pretty in a very disjointed way, and told me pretty much nothing about the game... 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
lobotomy42 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 It's just a fan-made trailer, guys. Someone took some publicly available footage and threw some generic "epic" music behind it. Not from Bioware. 3
Serrano Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Oh. Really? Sorry about that. Pretty well made for a fan however, I enjoyed it more than the official one. Edited July 15, 2014 by Serrano
