This is how I take everything like hit points and stuff in RPGs too. Like, when watching Final Fantasy: Advent Children, you notice the characters dodging and blocking every single attack that comes their way. I just figure, when they don't manage to use their supernatural sword skills to block that one bullet to their chest, that's when their HP runs out or something.

In Dragon Age: Inquisition, at one point you fight a bunch of demons that are basically the manifestations of people's fears. Their physical appearance is just that of big spiders, but if you select them, their name reads things like "Blood", "Drowning", "Mages", that sort of thing. So I'm walking around in that area and see another one of those spiders, and when I select it to see what fear it represents its name just reads: "Ironically, Spiders"

Mine Thrower sucks because you barely get any ammo for it if I remember right.

Playing Dragon Age: Inquisition, I've really been missing DD's pawns. Picking up crafting supplies around the world gets annoying way more quickly than it becomes unnecessary. I wish the 3 lazy jerks following me around would lend a hand gathering ore and herbs, once in a while.

Hawke seems to hate blood magic, too, despite the fact that he, his friends, his sister and his lover can all use it. I suspect things like this are why Bioware removed blood mage as a specialization in Inquisition and replaced it with the less morally questionable Necromancer.

I love how items and codex entries in Inquisition that are rendered unavailable (located in an area that you no longer have access to) get added to the stock of a shop in the city. It's nice to have that comfort as a completionist.

That would also explain it, because when I went back through it with a male boss I made all the opposite choices than from my first playthrough.


I do agree with you, with 3 caveats; 1) The fight club on the prison was a pain in the tonsils to get to, and there was no other reason to go back to the prison island in free roam 2) the rewards were really uneven. Some of them had great rewards, whereas others had "-5% notoriety with gang X", which isnt good even if you havent already wiped that gang off the map entirely, and 3) The main missions were locked behind "Respect" levels, and you leveled up respect by doing side content. I never had a problem with it because I loved the side content (and it the side missions were fairly generous about doling it out too) but a friend of mine just wanted to blast through the story as fast as possible and got frustrated with it, so thats not for everyone. Personally I barely noticed because I was spent so long messing about with activities that by the time I was halfway through the story I had enough respect to do the rest of the missions in a row if I wanted.

Edit: Honestly if the prison fight club was replaced with a fight club in the shopping mall it would relieve pretty much my only gripes with SR2, it would mean that you wouldnt have to go back out to the prison and find your way through the buildings, and it would flag the mall on your map as being something so you could find it on your firt playthrough easier/earlier.

Another little thing from the Wolf Among Us, after having conversation with Gren when he has combined drugs and alcohol there's a little text saying "Gren won't remember this".

The thing I like about that is that they will lie/mislead you with them. Like they'll pop up in conversations with a person who will be dead by the end of the conversation.

I like some character' headgear so much in Inquisition (Vivienne's especially) that I leave helmet display on and just take helmets off the characters I think they look stupid on. Fashion > gear stats

Now are you saying 'There was a DLC campaign in Arkham Orgins about Bruce Wayne as a trainee' or 'There's a DLC campaign about the Orgins of Bruce Wayne as a trainee' ?

Yeah, I tested it by giving a dude a rifle and a single thing of ammo, pissing him off, and then letting him shoot me until I died.

Testing is still in progress for whether or not they also get unlimited ammo for fat- mans.

I just noticed that in Fallout 4, you can filter your save files between different characters.
Not sure if anyone is at a point yet where they would want to do a second play-through yet but I think its a nice touch.

Your quotes for initiatng conversations also change from "Hey [name]" or "hello" to "eyyyyyyy" and "[hic] sup?"

I've had some chatter like them warning the others that I'm probably using a stealth boy (I was), and their taunts seem based on how much damage they've done. After taking a few dozen rounds that I survived through copious use of drugs they just started screaming about what it would take to just kill me already.

Going back through Wasteland 2, I noticed something I thought was pretty funny with Vulture's Cry.

When you break her out of prison at the beginning of the game and recruit her, she talks like a stereotypical Hollywood Native American. When you ask her what she's good at she talks about being in touch with the earth and communicating with animals. If you ask her about the kids who were harassing her while she was locked up, she slips and calls them a bunch of assholes, or something like that. If you call her out on it, she says something along the lines of "Ok, you got me, my job is to trade with outsiders and they eat up the whole "Wise Native sage" thing, I wasn't bullshitting you on the other stuff though, I am good with animals, and I do know how to survive in the desert." If you never have that optional dialogue, she acts like a walking stereotype for the rest of the game.

You can also just dress all your dudes up like ladies with the dresses the Black Cat sells (also works with mercedes' armor because it has ornamental boob-armor bits and I think Selene's dress if you've beat speedrun mode). I heard from a friend, but I didn't think to confirm it myself, that if you have visible facial hair like moustaches (why wouldn't you???) she sees through your disguise so be sure to visit the barber too!

I've said this before but Fallout 2 was great for the time and is not a bad game but almost all of the humor is, like someone else mentioned, Family Guy level of referential humor.
New Vegas is King of Fallout even though I like FO4 more for basic mechanics.

Metal Saga is what you're thinking of, and the narration dialogue gets very snippy about the adventure you chose to miss out on .

I think it was Prototype that went one further and had an achievement which required you to kill the same as in L4D, plus another single zombie.
