Hobo Clown posted:One of the first good/evil decisions in Fable was whether or not to save a little kid from bullies or rip up his teddy bear in front of him. Later on in the game I'd have no qualms about slaughtering whole villages just to drop the real estate prices, but hearing this lil kid start sobbing as he runs away would always make me so sad. This is totally me. I can't DO that. I can't rip up the fake kid's teddy bear. I can't be silly cruel even when it's a bunch of 1's and 0's. Either we are broken or we are just humans with consciences lol

Basic Chunnel posted:ME3 Had a fascist outlook generally "War resisters: Pacifists and others who are anti-war are frequently accused not only of making things easier for the Axis, but of becoming tinged with pro-Fascist feeling. Supporters of the war: War resisters usually base their case on the claim that British imperialism is worse than Nazism, and tend to apply the term ‘Fascist’ to anyone who wishes for a military victory. The supporters of the People's Convention came near to claiming that willingness to resist a Nazi invasion was a sign of Fascist sympathies. The Home Guard was denounced as a Fascist organization as soon as it appeared. In addition, the whole of the Left tends to equate militarism with Fascism. Politically conscious private soldiers nearly always refer to their officers as ‘Fascist-minded’ or ‘natural Fascists’. Battle-schools, spit and polish, saluting of officers are all considered conducive to Fascism. Before the war, joining the Territorials was regarded as a sign of Fascist tendencies. Conscription and a professional army are both denounced as Fascist phenomena. Nationalists: Nationalism is universally regarded as inherently Fascist, but this is held only to apply to such national movements as the speaker happens to disapprove of. Arab nationalism, Polish nationalism, Finnish nationalism, the Indian Congress Party, the Muslim League, Zionism, and the I.R.A. are all described as Fascist but not by the same people. It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless."-George Orwell. chiasaur11 fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Feb 28, 2017 |

I always liked Mass effect because they ran with a bunch of really confusing issues like the Genophage: Is it morally correct to kind of sterilize another race when they're hyper-violent , procreating like mad, and will definitely try to kill you soon? Humans: should we really consider ourselves the most important thing in the universe? It a matter of LIVING versus not. But seeming kind of racist and lovely if we don't. The Geth: Being scared of AI is a normal thing. These people created the geth and then the geth went sentient and BITCHY and are they real people or not? LOL There are a lot of really interesting decisions in MA2. Not just kickin that dude out the window which was totally rad.

He says everything looks fine on his end. So maybe I wasn't banned after all and something just went foobar. Fake Edit: Got back to me after going on hold and he just added a bundle of online access stuff to my account to get it working! Wooo! He says he has no idea what was wrong. Now I can enjoy the multiplayer again.

The Paragon/Renegade system sucks very badly in ME2 because if you don't pick the same one roughly 90% of every time it comes up, you will fail a ton of dialogue checks. I recently did an ME2 playthrough where I flipped a coin every time there was a Paragon/Renegade choice and I wasn't able to get anything done. Centrist Shepard Worst Shepard.

There's also the problem that the game misleads you into thinking the middle dialogue option is an actual valid choice when in reality it's 100% a trap option that actively makes the game worse for you.

I just played Me2 again, the whole way through and I think the only other Renegade action I took was kicking that dude out of the window. What a memorable game 
I had Garrus with me and he was like " crazy decision but it definitely got the job done."

Yeah, it would be neat if the only connection to the past was Drack saying "Yeah, I remember Wrex. That idiot thought he could save the krogan. All he'd do is get us to the point where we'd be a threat to the galaxy and they'd put us down for good this time."

precision posted:The Paragon/Renegade system sucks very badly in ME2 because if you don't pick the same one roughly 90% of every time it comes up, you will fail a ton of dialogue checks. Importing a save and maxing out your class skill both help out a lot. With that in play, I was able to make almost every check for both Paragon and Renegade. Of course, it also helps to know the tricks to the system. Basically, it auto-scales based on what areas you've been to. So if you go to the Citadel, it adds every available Citadel side-quest (like the krogan arguing about fish) to your potential paragon and renegade meters, which the game compares against to see if you made a check. So, if you, say, visit Illium early, buy some model ships, and leave, you've got all those potential Illium points you haven't picked up weighing against you for the rest of the game (or at least until you clear those sidequests and arguments). What's worse for you, that might mean you fail some later checks that could have earned you points, winding up with a chain of lost options and before you know it, Tali is dead. Basically, you can make the choices you want, free as you please, but you need to make them in (more or less) the right order, and the game does a pretty lovely job of explaining how that works.

While they shouldn't have big gameplay based stuff dependent on dialogue checks, you can also choose not to care so much about them. Morinth is a basically just a secret for a later playthrough, not a choice a reasonable Shepard would make, and getting through the Suicide Mission without Miranda/Jack's or Tali/Legion's loyalty isn't hard. You still get their bonus power. The other dialogue checks are mostly useless, and are often less entertaining than the non-check options ("You're forgetting something, Vasir. I was a Spectre too.")(Punching the Citadel crime boss). Lycus fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Feb 28, 2017 |
