Just curious about you Dragon Age 2 is good people. How much did you pay for the game? I can see paying five dollars for it making it much easier to accept what a terrible game it is compared to paying release day sixty dollars or more.

I like DA2, ME3 is easily my favorite game in the trilogy, I hate Geralt, and I love Sera. Come at me. Although the only game I played at release was DA:I. I didn't play DA:O and DA2 until well after they were released, and similarly I didn't play through the ME trilogy until after the last DLC for 3 came out. So maybe I just didn't get burned as bad as some of you.

And now you've reminded me that EA pulled DA 2 from Steam because of their silly spat with Valve over who gets a cut of the DLC monies. Of all the hills to die on, they picked DA 2 DLC. LoL.

The Witcher is neat because you're not actually an author insert superhero or whatever. Compared to the magic people you interact with, you're kind of a blue collar worker of the mystical universe. You get lots of instances where you're dismissed for being a stupid monster hunter or whatever. Rarely does the game beat you over the head with how you, the player or Geralt, are just the coolest and rather you are often forced into situations where you have to make a Sophie's choice and then hear how much of a dick you are. There's also themes and like literary references and poo poo. Hated dragon age but spent way too much time with the Witcher. I hope mass effect at least attempts to do something more nuanced than the bachelor meets jj Abrams Star Trek. Like, please authors scratch off AI's and hamfisted racial allegories from your list of sci fi tropes.

I played it for free due to steam's game-sharing feature, probably a big factor in my enjoyment of a single playthrough. I hope DA4 lets you play the previous three protagonists instead of an all new one but the first two get shoved into a plot closet at the end of the last one.

Hawke and the Inquisitor might show up in latter games, but they won't be playable. As for the Warden, I'd put money on them never actually appearing in-game. Trying to update a silent protagonist into something people would be even remotely happy with would be a nightmare. I remember the poo poo-fit people pitched when they learned they wouldn't be able to customize Hawke.

Granted the "bang all of these hot wiches" was kind of embarrassing, but there where points when main characters said things to the effect of "this isn't your story, you're just a bit player". I'm just saying if you were against the game because of the marketing and premise, it does go on to be more interesting than dude bro bang chicks, save world

Geralt is awesome but it really helps if you've read the novels. They're good in their own right, but they make the Witcher 3 amazing. I was amazed the first time I saw a screenshot of Ciri because it was exactly how I imagined her from the books.

homullus posted:Were you an adult before the year 2000? I can see thinking it's terrible/worrying about cost-benefit if your gaming history and budget were pretty limited. I'm curious as to why my question seems to be getting on people's nerves. It's not unfair to say what you pay for something can have some influence on what you think of it. As an example as much as I disliked the ending to ME3 I still got more than normal value out of what I paid due to multiplayer's replay-ability.

I recently beat Witcher 3 and all its DLC for the first time and all in all it's probably my favorite existing RPG period. It's also an incredibly unabashed and lovingly detailed masculine power fantasy.

It's definitely not worth full price release money and I can see why anyone who paid that much for it feels they got burned. I got it in a Steam sale pack, back when it was still on Steam, along with Origins and all the Origins DLC/Awakening for £25.00. So, yeah, I'm probably more inclined to be kind to it because I hella got my value out of that deal.

Skippy McPants posted:I remember the poo poo-fit people pitched when they learned they wouldn't be able to customize Hawke.  And to throw in my .02 DA2 isn't the worst game ever made, not by a long shot. It did some things right (rivalry system, faster combat, good characters) and some things wrong (pretty much everything else). I can see where people who read reviews and bought it at launch for full price would feel really ripped off - I got it used at GS for $10 and the guy working the counter threw in some kind of special edition because "nobody buys this anyway." However Bioware seemed to learn some lessons from this, and hopefully Mac Walters has also learned about his fuckups and will learn that collaborating and bouncing ideas off of other people isn't a bad thing.

I'm fairly sure that at some point they explored having the Warden turn up in DA:I, but realised it wouldn't work and replaced them with Stroud/Alistair/Loghain.
