Pattonesque posted:still will never understand their rationale for abandoning a reliably captive audience for "what if No Man's Sky but worse" and "what if Destiny but late" Because EA wants billion dollar games that everyone will play, not reliably successful games with a [big] niche audience. It's a shame, it's a rare indie RPG I've found that scratches that reliable itch like Bioware does, mostly the Shadowrun games and especially Dragonfall. Almost all get too grognardy, too anime, too edgy nihilistic everything sucks and is awful, or some combination thereof.

how did the most recent ME and DA games sell compared to destiny, and/or destiny 2? Does there really seem to be that much more money in it? I'm not a businessman i'm more of an ideas guy

Same with DA2, though I have no idea about DA3 because I do not care. im cute posted:can’t wait to engage these Greek aliens in conversations that will inevitably let me gently caress. Origins established that you can change the future with the animus now, so I would imagine they're eventually going to go full on alternate history because why else would you even bring that up

DA3 was really bad, i still dont understand how so many people liked it, some really terrible animations and the sheer MMO monotony of collecting magic boar gizzards

The combat was the big dealbreaker for me with Inquisition. It's either boring button mashing or hair tearing frustrating with no in between.

I couldn't make it past the first 3 hours of DA:I because the game continually trying to force me into a romantic relationship during every dialogue became so tedious that I finally just gave up and quit rather than listen to another quirky character with a dramatic entrance flirt with me like a high school jock.

Tip: don't pick the dialogue option with a heart on it. The only character who blatantly hits on you first is Sera if you're playing a female qunari.

Iron Crowned posted:What would be great is if they were optional, but it makes the romance option characters extremely confused that you're rejecting them. You do have to make the first move, though. It's very rare for a Bioware NPC to make the first move outside TOR - Sera with a female qunari and Anders are the only ones who come to mind. Stop clicking on the heart prompts if you don't want the NPC to think you're romantically interested.

Or if you did pick the flirt option on accident, let him down in the next conversation? Apparently Bioware needs to import what they did from TOR and explicitly label flirty dialogue options (hint: they're always the upper-left part of the dialogue wheel) as [FLIRT]

Ainsley McTree posted:RPGs should let you pick best friends instead of lovers That's Garrus if you pick guy Shep, don't have Shepard suggest "Hey! We could gently caress! That's something I'd be interested in!", or pick the options in the romance scene that go "Actually, you're right, this might be a terrible idea that could ruin everything. We're best friends, it would be weird." There's much less dialog in ME2 if you don't romance him, which is something they explicitly set out to correct in ME3, but he's still established as Shepard's Best Friend.
