Pretzel Rod Stewart posted:Oh, awesome, I was hoping either 1) Gibbed did something like this or 2) the Keep is ultimately going to be a cross-platform app that basically does this. My sister is as obsessed with BioWare games as you can be while still remaining in control of your critical faculties so I played both games with all the DLC on our Xbox--until the DLC refused to work for me and I had to load up my .xbsav file in Gibbed's program and change it to a .pcsav file, which was a cinch. I'm hoping the Keep is basically that. Inquisition isnt going to import saves, DAKeep is how youre going to do it. And with they way they handled in Awakening and 2, its for the best. that poo poo never worked. Now they can go "We are using these decisions, use the site to set what you want and we can guarantee they will work" probably including a few extras so people dont know what to expect.

Leelee posted:I think Dragon Age 2 would have been better received by fans if it had been named "Dragon Age: Exodus" as planned instead of leading people to believe it was a more direct sequel to the first. It wouldn't have excused every flaw, but would have maybe lessened the dissapointment. Thats irrelevant. This one is called DA: Inquisition and people still call it DA3 anyway. It doesnt matter if it has a 2 or 3 in the title, it wasn't a good sequel to DA:O regardless.

Torrannor posted:Well, in hindsight treating DA2 like a standalone title in the same universe would have made sense, but the success of Mass Effect was difficult to ignore. Which is kind of funny since DA:O was their best selling game of all time (at that point anyway).

Boogle posted:Its shorthand for saying they don't want their artists to waste time and/or resources. Gotta reach your milestone as fast as possible! They already designed them all for Hawke, which would work on any of the companions besides Varric basically. It was entirely their lovely choice for lovely reasons.

Umberger posted:So since there's not really a general thread (that I could find), I'll just ask here. I picked up Dragon Age: Origins in the Steam sale recently. Are there any essential mods/fixes/fan patches for a first time playthrough? If you like Sten theres a mod that adds in the Spec. Point hes missing. People will tell you to get a mod to skip the Fade section, but I think you should do it once at least.

Furism posted:I like that Obsidian is creating a (whole?) language for Pillars of Eternity, so things will sound Heroic Fantasy-ish but be internally consistent. I hate BioWare writers for being lazy and making Not Westeros. Thats not fair, since Westeros is just England just like The Dragon Age Setting is just notEngland, notFrance, and notIslam encroaching on them.

Yes  Even though I didnt like the ending to ME3 I still think its a great game otherwise, and for some reason I dont completely hate DA2 even though I recognize its not good.

Policenaut posted:And EA pulled a bunch of their titles from Steam so people had to use Origin. They didnt. Valve pulled them because they wanted a cut of the DLC sales and EA didnt feel like giving it to them. I also think it was only Dragon Age 2 and Crysis 2, and Crysis 2 is on Steam now.

Clever Spambot posted:Were those really the three major endings in DA:O? I always found the stuff about how your actions changed the world way more interesting than who died fighting dragon. I agree that the other stuff is more interesting, but I just considered the sides you took/etc to be part of the game with the ending being "defeat the archdemon" which is really only "who dies/demon baby." How the dwarves/elves/werewolves/etc come out in the end is more epilogue to me.

Everyone wants him to do generic white guy voice (and hes got a fantastic normal voice, but it doesnt need to be in everything), but hes finally getting roles like the Joker in the upcoming Batman game.

Crabtree posted:Or if there was more to his fear of Orlesian help than just his undying founding father hatred of Fantasy France to make his actions seem more logical or unavoidable. Like stumbling across treaties which assured assistance came at the cost of some severe strategic sacrifice and/or economic concessions to Orlais. But that require the writers to consider actual backdoor politics which could be involved in anything besides an obvious bad guy plot. He hates Orlais because they raped and murdered his mother in front of him and subjugated his country and all that. Even if Loghain was sort of comically evil, his hate of Orlais is totally justified.

CottonWolf posted:Not really. I imagine Pillars of Eternity will be out about then, but realistically, fans of party-based RPGs are so starved, they'll buy both, so there's not much real competition there even though they're both going for the same niche. Alien: Isolation and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor are the same date too, but they don't have EA's marketing muscle behind them. Youre insane if you think PoE on PC will compete at all with Dragon Age 3 by Bioware coming to 360, BONE, PS3, PS4 and PC (outside of mega nerds like us who post on vidya websites).

Lotish posted:Tying into this, I'm curious how they're going to handle gear in general. The Inquisition class page links that hat to a mage but that sword looks like a warrior's. Is the hat classless? Is that a mage with a gently caress-off sword? Is this game going to let us wear anything like some RPGs or are some classes going to be locked out of certain pieces of gear because of stat or class requirements? The previous games have mostly had stat based requirements, with DA:O having strength largely be the determiner and DA2 using your class's primary stats. I mean I doubt they've gotten away from it entirely, but I'm seeing a lot less plate in this game than before so are outfits more flexible? I think they said that weapons wont be bound to classes anymore. Maybe.

AngryBooch posted:Yeah, if you're preordering this game already you deserve to be cuffed on the back of the head moderately hard. Even if you're going to preorder before knowing anything substantial about the game, you could at least wait for the inevitable preorder deals from websites. Who pays full price for games anymore?

marktheando posted:Ah I'm just operating on half remembered forums posts on that one. gently caress paying any money in advance. The old preordering system Game had in the UK was good, where you paid nothing to preorder and simply didn't turn up to buy the game if you decided you didn't want it anymore. You can just come in and get your $5 back if you dont want the game anymore. Your $5 doesn't disappear and you dont actually have to buy the game. The money just creates a greater incentive for people to preorder things theyre actually interested in instead of just preordering everything just in case or something. e: or preorder online at amazon or something because gently caress Gamestop.
