Just two per gender, so Qunari Female B is the same as Human Female B. It's really a choice of accents. By default dwarves and qunari have American accents and humans and elves have British accents (Dalish normally have Welsh accents, but I guess a third accent just for elven inquisitors was out of the question). The American Male voice is the one I've heard most by this point, and it sounds really good. Wildly enough, it's the same voice actor who did Zevran in Dragon Age: Origins. He doesn't sound remotely like himself.

iGestalt posted:The lack of content, and rushed nature of it was poo poo. But the actual concept of DA2 was really cool and could've been something very special. I did like the thematic design of it and the narrow focus of the story, I prefer that kind of focus than GALACTIC ARMAGEDDON. Yeah, I think the narrow "smaller story" focus is what I really enjoyed about DA2. My one playthrough in Origins was as a dwarf and looking back, I think my favorite parts were all in Orzammar. I would have been a-OK with a game that was entirely about the shenanigans always going on down there. Frankly after Skyrim, I'm kind of burned out on gigantic-as-gently caress worlds with two bajillion things in it to distract you from the overall story. Might be why I found Origins to be a slog after a while. Since it looks like the new game is going back to being more like that, I'll just have to see if it's engrossing enough to keep me with it or if I just eventually give up and go replay Earthbound or something. I think my biggest gripe about DA2 (aside from recycled maps) was the imbalance. I usually stick to the default "normal" difficulty settings, but occasionally I'd run into a fight that was just beyond ridiculous. And after I'd get my rear end repeatedly handed to me I'd grudgingly slip down to the casual setting, but rather than make the fight still be tough but beatable, it became a snoozefest I could breeze through. It felt like there needed to be a difficulty setting in between the two.

I've never been so excited for a game where it's previous title in the series was real bad, and I didn't even play the first game. DAI though just looks really good and so far the reviews have been fantastic.

DAI though just looks really good and so far the reviews have been fantastic. I echo this sentiment. And I also find the backstory and setting more interesting. You are a special dude, sure. But at least you are leading an entire organization and not -just- you against them but rather the entire might of your Inquisition. I love this idea for some reason; maybe I just like power?

I'm no tech wizard but if you get the game on PC, there might be a rootkit as DRM http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=928282  http://www.denuvo.com/ I heard rootkits can be quite dangerous for a pc.

I've seen two different videos with two different FemDwarf inquisitors being played, do they all look like skinny elf children now? Or is it just the depth of the character customization, and those people playing wanting their dwarves to look like elves?

I nailed down some Fenris booty in DA2, and Varric's epilogue indicated he and Hawke stuck together. Does this mean Fenris might show up if I run into my former LadyHawke?

At least the Inquisitor is, anyway; we know there's at least one other female dwarf in the Inquisition, and she seem stockier than the Quiz.

It doesn't install drivers or anything that runs outside the game running (Unlike Starforce or the Sony CD DRM thing that actually was a rootkit), it just checks the executable and other key files haven't been modified, which is the way cracks work. They don't specify exactly how they do this however.

Don't get me wrong, I still have zero patience for "Oh, I kind of want to play Battlefield, guess I better boot Origin and patch and ugh please kill me and all who made this" but it works fine aside from some odd outliers, the support is occasionally manned by real people and it no-longer roots around in your dataz.

Hated Origin when it first came out. Locked up my computer for a few minutes every time it launched. Now it's pretty smooth, and the icons can be resized. It's alright for what it is.

iGestalt posted:Yeah. Origin is no long poo poo-tier. It's acceptable with legitimately good support. uPlay is poo poo tier. They fired that support around 2013ish ( it now takes a week plus to get a response, and it's always canned. After that they'll just never respond to you. ), and it's actually got several huge bugs that affect people with the latest revisions of Win7/all of Win8. Namely it'll hog your memory until it crashes itself/the game/your computer. Or sometimes it'll just crash even when it's supposed to be working. I've also had it eat my legitimate saves in both Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 2. This is all within the last 3-4 months mind you, so unless you are constantly using Origin you probably haven't run into these problems. I'm actually curious how this thread will be in a few days. The last major Origin release was ME3, before the big bugs started affecting it. I mean I had problems with ME3's launch, but it wasn't until a few months later when I went back for a second round of DA2/ME3 did I actually have my saves eaten/crashfest. And it still hasn't been fixed because apparently EA thinks it's only tied to Win8 users ( it's not, it also affects my Win7 Laptop! ), and "that's not a large enough market share for us to worry.". Anybody not playing this on the consoles/cracking it first is asking for disappointment ahead of time. As someone who buys literally everything on day one, I'd rather deal with Uplay then Origin most days. Then again, that's probably because I own so many Uplay games the client constantly gets a chance to update itself, and now just autologs me into games without question. Origin tries to faff around being a lovely storefront that breaks more often then not. Like I guarantee I'll have less problems getting my copy of Far Cry 4 working then I will this.
