Dexo posted:I mean it *kinda* makes sense. And probably why they limited it to one cluster yeah but, wouldn't the number of space-faring species in the milky way be artificially low both due to the relays linking every system together, and the reaper's regular murder-sprees?

Dexo posted:Keep in mind. The only reason any of the Milky way races were able to meet was was because the Reapers essentially designed it that way. i must not have explained myself correctly i'm saying the number of intelligent species in a stellar cluster could be artificially low in the milky way for exactly those reasons, without the relays to allow far away species to settle and mess up planet ecologies or the reapers to wipe out older species, a smaller region of space could support the development of a higher number of unique space-faring critters yeah you're right the real reason is money and development focus, but that's the boring answer

fruit on the bottom posted:Don't you have a top-of-the-line custom implant already, which is how SAM should able to interface with you? Maybe it's already Biotic-capable. of all the writing issues in the game, this is at least one place where they did their homework setting things up, i think mom ryder designed biotic implants for a living before helping dad ryder make sam's chip, and she huffed so much eezo it killed her. so i don't think it's a stretch that either of her kids would have the ability even if they never trained and that using sam would let them tap in to if they wanted sam experiencing everything you do seems like it'd make it awkward to get down with anyone though

Crabtree posted:So is there a way to make sure you don't lock yourself into a Reyes romance if you were nice to him too much? I mean, I'll let myself get drunk at the party if I need to, but I was just trying to be kind but apparently I hearted too much and am heading towards a gay romance I'm not interested in. sorry, you're canonically gay now

for some reason i have no problem looting enemy corpses in dragon age but having to do it in this game makes me irrationally angry maybe it's because i have to press and hold the button instead of grab-and-go maybe because the button is also the melee button so if i miss i go charging off into the distance attacking thin air

does it drive anyone else crazy the sound is centered on the camera's position and not your character? i frequently have a hard time listening to people standing right next to me because the camera gets locked into a weird position that puts them out of the field of view, to give one example

Milky Moor posted:Tradition tells us almost nothing of the Macwalters save for the horrible tricolor platforms they would build from the severed heads of their enemies. We found one of these a few hours ago, thirty feet high and a hundred feet across, each skull arranged with a mad precision that was terrifying to behold. i did not click on this thread expecting to see a Myth: The Fallen Lords reference Pattonesque posted:well, speaking of that, here's an interview with the former Fallen London guy who's writing the next DA what was will be, what will be was i liked his little guest starting in Stellaris, sounds like they have him doing another kind of guest writer role? that seems... more strange for an RPG then it did for Stellaris

i think me1 did the romance track best in that it tied into plot progression scenes but they hosed it up by effectively pushing you into one just by being nice to people. with me2 they clearly divorced the plot from the character romance stuff but kept the same basic progression and made it this weird thing. even as bioware has gotten better at avoiding the whole 'culminates in sex' deal they haven't really revisited that 'system' since, i don't think? i think if you're going to make character relationships, romantic or otherwise, such a major selling point, it shouldn't be so divided, both mechanically and plotwise, from the rest of the game. the loyalty mission concept is getting there, but is still too seperated from the rest of the game, imo a primate posted:I wonder if we didn't get any cool vocal talent like Martin Sheen because they showed some actors the script and they went you know, whatever happened with that contest to have two fans voice some random shmucks?

Arcsquad12 posted:The only romance that Obsidian wrote was the jealousy of Atton Rand over Mical in KOTOR 2, and it was written more like a compulsion on Atton's part than unrequited love. Because it tied into the Exile's unconscious influence over people. And because KOTOR 2 was well written. how quickly we forget neverwinter nights 2 and the elf lady who fell in love with your character while stalking you as a child

they're spreading themselves too thin by trying to do the AAA appeal to everyone to maximize profit dealio and they're afraid of taking risks, 'don't like a character? no worries, try hanging out with one of these 19 other ones' a smaller core cast with a tighter focus would probably be a better investment of their budget quality-wise, the problem is that in this market that pretty much guarantees chiseling down everything outside their perceived core-demograph which never ends well for anyone not a straight white guy it would be nice if more bioware style companion-focused games existed so there wasn't as much pressure for one studio to serve all demographics at all times i'm very interested to see how things work out with obsidian on PoE2 and their system that'll 'only lead to romance if it makes sense for that character.' which just speaks of an entirely different approach compared to how bioware's gone about things

exquisite tea posted:There were only 6 regular squadmates this time around. That's the fewest in number since Mass Effect 1 and they still sucked at it. six squadmates, the engineer guy, science girl, criminal man, i think you also gently caress the museum alien lady? then there's also your asari doctor and babyfrog pilot as non-romancable, non-squad dudes that all got a big chunk of writing resources. so that's 11 there and i felt like they all got about the same level of focus. i'll admit though, i kind of stopped playing like halfway through the game, so my assessment of where all the resources doesn't have the full picture when i'm say 'small cast' i'm thinking like, maybe three or four at most 'core characters' though i will say inquisition's cast was loving massive and it did okay writing-wise even if things got a little thin on the ground
