Have the best friends talked about Dragon Age Inquisition before? I just purchased it as my second game after Bloodborne, and I was wondering if it would be worth my time?

Due to their guests' timezone, the podcast was supposed to start seven minutes ago. Still nothing and i'm waiting for their hot take on Scalebound's cancellation

It's pretty good, less diversity of choice than origins though. The skill system is kinda rudimentary, but it works well and combat is fluid. Honestly, the main story is a little weak toward the end compared to the others, but otherwise every major story beat is a unique area with its own flavor of encounters and/or puzzles. There's none of the recycled environments that were so prevalent in 2.

I've seen people bounce off it hard though, so while I know I like it, I couldn't wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who isn't already a fan of the setting.

Maybe I missed it in the videos but why are they so dead set on having the 25% roll? Are they just being scrubs and thinking the 50% is a fat roll?

Because the mid roll is kind of garbage. It's not awful, but for a roll spammer like Woolie it's a death sentence due to its much slower recovery time.

Agreed, as much as I like the idea and wish them all the best, it never looked like it was coming together. OTOH, Platinum's growing role as a consulting firm for adding Sick Stylish Action to other games will hopefully bring them prosperity.

Liam Robinson from Unseen64 talks a bit about it, the biggest take is that Scalebound's IP is owned by Microsoft, so that's likely the end of that.

I agree that the game didn't look great, but man, it sucks a lot that we've basically lost three years of Kamiya work like that. It'll suck waiting even more years for his next project.

I keep hearing that Kamiya is on paid vacation because of this breaking him down or something but can't find a source. Is that true?

Seems so. Eurogamer and Liam (Robinson) both say that, the latter saying it was a month long vacation for Kamiya and creative producer JP Kellems. This was done before cancellation at some point, "working with microsoft and being unable to get them to budge on certain creative aspects was putting a strain on their mental health, and so both chose to temporarily leave to recuperate"

Kamiya literally said Scalebound was poo poo on twitter and I'm sure he's comically exaggerating to an extent to the people barraging him with questions, but that game never looked like it was gonna have anything decent made of it so this is probably for the best.
