It didn't have waifu but I though the party members were better. And maybe its just me but I thought combat was better than DAO.

Perhaps it did, but it still failed at delivering its own premise because you can't actually be evil. Why is is Tunon hanging out with these homos?

In Obsidian's previous games, you could be much more hardcore. I thought it was disappointing that you're pretty much just acting like Kyros' pooch in Tyranny.
>FFXV exists

>people still think DA:I was a bad sequel
>>
>>166481578
That's kind of the point though. That real evil is in the details, in the bureaucracy of your job and what it requires.

It's not going out every day and raping your heart out, it's in the evils you abide in your duty.

I thought it was more interesting on the whole without using weak, softening character arcs to flesh out the baddies around you
>Ashe
>Nerat
>Bleden Mark
>Tunon
It doesn't make the bad guys in the story into "This happened in their past and that's why they're bad now."

>>
>>166482161
>DA:I wasn't a bad sequel, it was just a bad game.
this

anything compared to DA2 would be considered a good sequel. but inquisition had way too many flaws to be considered a good game
>>
>>166482419
I mean, Inquisition didn't absolutely assrape the living fuck out of its own lore like ME3 did. It added tons of stuff that seems kind of out of place but they didnt directly undermine what was previously established.
>>
>>166482161
Using bureaucracy as the backbone of your narrative is an interesting concept, but the actual interactions in the game happen face-to-face with other characters and the ethical immorality is severely lacking in that respect. Like you meet a random rebel and kill him because Kyros' law dictates him, and the player doesn't have any agency in it so it just feels like following the game's internal rules. Meanwhile, you could do things like making your skull companion live in eternal suffering just because he lied to you in Planescape, or lure innocent people into cannibals' trap in Mask of the Betrayer. Things like that feel much more visceral.
>>
>>166482689
ok yeah but everything from the ending of the mage templar war onward was so, it was just so bad.

a dlc villain who's not even the real villain, an anticlimactic end to the mage-templar war, pointless area's which have nothing to do with that story, pointless dlc's, horrible Origins tier animations. and bad VA's

i played DAI and completed it 3 times, but there we so many times when i thought to myself "why am i playing this?"

>>166482692
That's somewhat the point though. Kyros' presence places an enormous restraint on how good one can be.
You can relish your role as butcher but there's a hard limit on how good you can be. You can do the best in your role but you're still restricted to carrying out a malicious will.

I suppose I'll say that I felt like the evil done in Tyranny was more impactful because it sneaks up on you, like a fresh eyed German going into the SS to help his own people and ends up ferrying people to the ovens. It's evil that happens less because you're a pure sadist (though you can do that from time to time, like having Sirin kill that child) but even good people end up doing bad things, good intentions are twisted into fairly horrific action. Costs are made for personal greater good.

You're right that other games do this sort of thing more viscerally but I feel like that's to make it stand out more from the 'good' path options, it's a way that you don't have to really think or discern what's the good route and the evil route.

In Tyranny, most routes are evil to a point, there's no absolutely good route.
>>
>>166483683
Jesus, three times? Why would you do that to yourself? Are you one of those youtubers who try to film every cutscene variant?

I was at least able to play through ME1-3 multiple times but I can't imagine going through Inquisition more than once...it was just so weak, all the dosh went towards textures and open map areas.

Like why can't Bioware just hire better animators, is one of the animators the producer's friend or something?
>>

I feel the same way about Mass Effect to be honest.
>>

I haven't played it yet, but isn't going full rebel the "good" route? That way, you only have to oppose Kyros' forces.

>>166484165
Not really because you're prolonging the conflict against Kyros. One of the things the game hammers is that Kyros him/herself isn't an absolute good or evil either. Overbearing and over-reacting, yes, but his/her rule comes with an enormous amount of social order (generally).
The Tiers have their own issues: they were generally at war with each other prior to Kyros showing up (part of how they were able to start getting beat down was that none helped the others when they were being invaded), they've got more deeply ingrained social stigma compared to Kyros' law (Women = men under Kyros, there are more specific roles in the Tiers). The BB captain unleashes the Bane such that he can be the one to control them and be a hero. The Vendrien guard makes a deal with both factions for its own survival, allowing war to perpetually consume their land. The Regent of the Unbroken has been hoarding the limited resources of his keep to himself.

They're the ones being invaded and so they're not the aggressors, but the Tiers don't have clean hands especially given that the reason they couldn't unite before the invasion was because they had hundreds of years of infighting hatred towards each other. They killed more of their own over history than Kyros ever did.
>>
>>166485262
I see, thanks for the explanation. I guess it's so easy to sympathize with the oppressed that their own shortcomings go unnoticed. In the end, it all boils down to whether you, the player, find divine law or free will to be the foundation of goodness. I honestly don't remember many details about the setting because I only played Tyranny once when it came out. I've been waiting until they release some dlcs or even expansions, but now Obsidian is officially working on PoE2 so it looks like Tyranny is over.
>>
>>166486249
Yeah, which is pretty disappointing since I felt like they were gonna do some cool stuff with the edict system in expansions.

I mean each faction ending has shades of good vs bad in them. My first play through was a Disfavored one with a good-leaning Vigor Brawler. I did good where I could but I wanted Tunon to praise me so I upheld the law where it was required which often led me to hurt people who honestly didn't know better half the time. I crushed the Tiers but with the goal of civilizing them ala Disfavored influence.

Seeing Graven Ashe, with all his prejudice as well as his warmth and love made me really think that he was the best outcome for the Tiers. The ending actually felt really amazingly satisfying though I still wish I could have an expansion where you lead an assault into the North and you're confronted with what uprooting the established, 400 year old order does.

What about Nerat? He only leaves chaos whenever he goes and the only willing members of his legion are crazy nothing personnell edgelords.
>Seeing Graven Ashe, with all his prejudice as well as his warmth and love made me really think that he was the best outcome for the Tiers.
I actually didn't like him because his whole "warmth and love" is only reserved to his special group of pampered soldier-children who fit his very narrow definition of what a respectable human being should be like. Like I get that he's doing a job he actually hates and that he's ultimately serving his own nation in the end the best way he can, but I don't think he's right for the job at all.

Right, he's got his own evil but he's got his own humanity as well. It's not a "Some foreigner killed my son and now I hate all foreigners" but more just "Look at these people sitting in their squalor, let's go 1945 Germany on them." He's got some genuinely reprehensible views that make him more human, in my opinion at least.

Nerat has his own odd vision for the Tiers. If Ashe is the germanic idea of Us vs Them, of a strong but small and separate knit community being the cornerstone of a proper society, then Nerat is the French idea of breaking down barriers between people and finding unity and strength in a Dionysian fever dream.

They actually remind me a lot of Alucard and the Major from Hellsing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IHrlk-USGY

Nerat is Alucard, absorbing people (into himself and the Chorus) and breaking them down to their most base instincts to achieve unity. Ashe is the Major, fundamentally oriented with the divisions between him and his troops and everyone else: it serves as a strength but it also fetters him (by his Aegis as well as his tactics).
>>
>>166491226
>Nerat is the French idea of breaking down barriers between people and finding unity and strength in a Dionysian fever dream.
That's an interesting idea, I haven't thought about it that way. Yes, I've been bothered by the discrepancy between the ideologies promoted by Nerat (obsessed with self-improvement) and his legion (survival of the fittest), but it actually makes sense when you put it like that.

Also, the Andersen bit is pretty accurate.

Did Obsidian literally just discover Hellsing Ultimate for the first time and was like "Let's make a dating sim, but instead of dating you get praised by the main characters of Hellsing"

Anora and Solas are literally the only Dragon Age romances I like, and that's mostly because they have so little content that you can fill in the blanks yourself. It's kind of similar to Obsidian's approach, like how you have Visas and Brianna lusting after the Exile's dick but can't reciprocate their feelings, which creates interesting sexual tension without romance shit taking all the spotlight. In contrast, Mass Effect and DA:O with their "cinematic" sex scenes felt voyeuristic and awkward, at least for me.

Well and the approach to them is always the same with Bioware (at least they usually are I find): Character X is like this , but as you get to know them you find that they're actually the opposite.

Ashley is tough but she also has a sensitive side! Miranda is cold but she's actually just wanting to be loved! Jack is hardcore but she just has issues!
Their entire approach is usurping their initial archetype rather than expanding it like how I found Tyranny did (Ashe is racist but his racism isn't just a coping mechanism for something else. Nerat is okay with rape and pillaging and...he's genuinely okay with it, he thinks it culls the weak from the strong).

ME and DA romance scenes aren't voyeuristic, they're self-inserts more often than not. Adventure Time's Sims episode kinda explored this idea too iirc

>>
>>166498909
>Well and the approach to them is always the same with Bioware
That's not really true, the only characters who act differently if you romance them that I can think of in DA are Isabela (suddenly starts questioning her commitment issues), Fenris (tsundere shit), Cass (Ash in Thedas), and Dorian (displays lots of insecurity). I think it's an improvement over mega tsundere Bastila, but they still feel very unnatural because the protagonist has to initiate all of the romances now so they completely lack agency and feel very artificial as a result (as opposed to Morrigan outright telling you she wants to fuck).
I don't even hate all romances. I liked Yen's relationship with Geralt in TW3, how she just spontaneously kisses him at several points even if you romance Triss and mocks him when he's being stupid instead of being a passive waifu who's only there to provide the player avatar with shallow ego-stroking.
>they're self-inserts more often than not

Well we talked a bit about it but when you say you're building an Inquisition and leading it, actually fucking do that.
Make more uses for the Influence and Power resources, make it so that there are too many meaningful uses for it an you have to intelligently pick which you obtain and which you forsake.
Bind story mechanics to your abilities. If I'm a Templar, I want to have to remember to take my Lyrium otherwise I go into withdrawal.

DAI should have been High Fantasy MGSV. Andromeda looks like it's going for a similar premise (Leader of a whole lot of people, need to build a settlement for them and explore the new world) but it seems they're going to make the same fucking mistakes.

Another game I think about that did Inquisition's premise better than it was Divinity: Dragon Commander.
>Leader of a force to bring order to a world at war

dragonage subreddit is cancerous full of dragonage inquisition fanboys.
>>
>>166500920
I agree with the idea of leading the inquisition more than just passing judgement on like 5 people in the entire game. I don't really understand the MGS comparison though, do you mean DAI should have had an open world where more spontaneity could happen like, when you randomly choose to raid a guard post for an S+ soldier?
>>
>>166500454
Well with W3, the romances mean something beyond the main two components of Bioware's ego-stroking romances:
>The romance is entirely about the other character dealing with their issues
>There is no chemistry between the characters because player characters need to be blank enough that players can imprint on them but romance deals with the nuances in personality interacting with other peoples' nuances. No nuances in blank slates = bland and 'it could have been anyone' romances
Witcher 3 romances deal with not only affecting Triss and Yen but those characters affecting Geralt in turn. Geralt is an established person with an established personality (with a bit of range for interpretation with the choices).
The romance you choose affects how Geralt is characterized.
Incidentally I agree with >>166500773 in that I liked Isabela's romance because it could (in some ways at least) affect Hawke in turn, making him more open to Isabela's way of life. The friendship/Rival system in DA2 was always really interesting to me.

To add to the list of characters whose romance arc (and general characterization) is built on inverting their initial archetype: Leliana (sweet priestess is a badass assassin), Alistair (I liked it but he went from a fatalist to taking control of his life), Morrigan (She's not actually a hardass, it's just how her mom raised her).

inversion and subversion can be interesting but not when it's a repeated 180 degree spin. Iron Bull, for instance, is more interesting for the intelligence he demonstrates. Anders is angsty but his actual arc is interesting because you bear witness to how he evolves from a generally well meaning healer to literal terrorist.

DA2 is actually my favorite of all the games because it feels so much more fleshed out in the period it is expressing. It feels like I'm watching the days leading up to Lebanon breaking out into Civil War again.

>>166501453
I never touched the MP so fair enough I guess. Is it any good?
>>
>>166502209
No
>>
>>166502062
Well MGSV gives the player, as head of the Diamond Dogs, a lot of control of their motherbase and the soldiers there.

In the previews leading up to Inquisition, they showed off taking bases and deciding how they would be specialized and how that would change your foothold in the region. They talked up a lot of how you'd be building up the Inquisition but most of that build up is either purely aesthetic (Mage Tower vs Templar Tower) or done in an incredibly linear fashion (ie through the story cutscenes or wartable, rewards are also basically restricted to the cutscenes or wartable) or, worse yet, it's something that is basically useless (pendent of X and 5 power, when you're overflowing in Power points it's basically only used for map unlocking).
I wanted more agency over the inquisition rather than being told I was leading it. I felt more like a figurehead than a leader in gameplay whereas the story kept telling me how I was leading everyone when all I really seemed to be was a really competent soldier who's allowed to make big decisions over specific individuals
>>
>>166502209
They tried to recapture how good the ME3 multi was but the gameplay in Inquisition is garbage so the multi was garbage
>>
>>166502697
Ah that makes a lot more sense, thanks. And wasn't there a big part of a quest in Crestwood revolving around retaking that fort and draining the lake that was cut. Because that sounds like what you're describing and that would'v been a great addition
>>
>>166502839
But ME3 was a 3rd person shooter so it wasn't that big of stretch to add mp, but DA is no such thing so why would they even bother? Is multi confirmed for MEA or are they not doing it this time?
>>
>>166503375
You do drain the lake.
The original Crestwood mission revolves around the Red Templars attacking a town and you needing to retake the fort you could sneak and also burn down their boats with fire potions

That was what sold me on the game initially and Bioware couldn't get it up
>>
>>166503628
Yeah I remember the lake bit, but the cut shit sounds way cooler.
>>
>>166504132
The big thing was that there were a ton of advertised tactical things you could do. Burning down their ships isnt requires but it's an option.

So instead of making these more free form tactical missions made up of a whole bunch of optional switches and flags you could affect, we got a faux-Dark-Souls combat type game with fairly weak mission design
>>166503535
They oculd have done something like Dark Souls' or Monster Hunter's multiplayer gameplay but Bioware doesn't know how to do good gameplay. Their fundamental stance towards it is one of laziness.
ME2 and 3's combat was largely handled by Gears of War vets I think
>>
>>166505961
I can't speak for MH since I've never played it, but I can't see how DA could have done DS mulitplayer since the entirety of the gameplay would have to have been redone. And as much as I like Bioware, I don't think they'll ever be able to touch From when it comes to gameplay.

The sex scenes in all of the DA games were pretty awkward though. I know that there's a certain feeling of self-insert you're supposed to have there, but it was still a little squirmy for me.

The withdrawal thing would have been a pretty interesting addition to gameplay.
Would have been neat to see stone sense for dwarves in DA:O. You play as a surface dorf in Inquisition, and I recall them having trouble with stone sense after being on the surface for a while.
Maybe finding codices in Qunlat for the qunari that only you or Bull could translate?

I dont feel like sex scenes are handled all that well in most video games. Not just because the actual process of playing it out is usually weird how mechanical and clearly programmed it all is, but just how forced it almost always is but that ties into a lot of my problems with the industry in general and its attitude toward sex. I feel like it never adds anything to the experience that couldnt be gained from just showing the before and after of it.

Oh yeah, people make an idealized version of themselves in all of the ME and DA games. Character creation was a mistake.

On an different but somewhat related note, what romance or relationship dynamic would you like to see explored in a Bioware or just general Western RPG?
Me? With all the memes about it, would like to see a genuine cuckold situation or relationship and how a player character is given options to react
>get angry
>now we're talking
>NTR disbelief
>huh, we were dating?
Something like that.

I'd also like to see a sort of nuanced parental relationship expressed where the player is the 'child' and the NPC is the parental figure

Maybe if it happens only if you're at a high "understanding" variable with them and they get nervous and fall back into old habits. Or they gain the confidence to approach other people.

I don't even want to know what they're cooking up for it. At this point none of the people from the original teams with any vision are left so all you would have are assistant designers (who designed smaller scale things before) and EA producers.

I still self insert, but more for the ooey gooey romance parts and the adventure part. It's not a defined character thing or anything like that, I just start snapping back to reality when the sex scenes pop up, so it feels like (and in reality, am) I'm watching my character sleep with a character I like vs my self insert or whatever. Like a third wheel.

I get the feeling that ME:A at launch will be incredibly similar to DA:I at launch, and it will take them six months or so to fix things and include numerous quality of life tiny additions to the game.

Examples from DA:I:
>Black Emporioum
>Outfit choices in Skyhold
>Two ability upgrades
>Difficulty options like level scaled enemies, promoted enemies etc.

ME:A will also be lacking things to nfo things similar to these which will get added in future patches and then be playable.

I dont get these schematics. The "tier 3" Griffon Plate is so much better than the "tier 4" Revered Defender armor. The Griffon Plate has considerably more armor and also a sigil slot while the Defender armor doesnt got shit. Neither of them have upgrade slots either for arms or legs so i dont get how the clearly and unarguably inferior schematic is supposed to be a whole tier higher.

You better be a woman, or at least a woman (male) if you romanced Sera.

0/10. Not even a pity point.

Sera is better written and more realistic than 99% of Bioware characters.

But she's unattractive and has an intentionally antagonistic personality so everyone hates her.

This is why Bioware will never be better than pandery waifubait characters.
>>
>>166601295
Sera was written like she looks. Shit.
>>
>>166601295
I kind of agree. I can really dig the whole super anti-establishment/hates the upper class shtick she had going on, but I just really wish they'd have dialled the whole immature, lolsorandum nobreeches, attitude she had. It was like nails on a chalkboard.

Yeah, to seal the rift in the sky and defeat Cory. That leaves a lot of room for other shit that a massive army with a godlike powerful leader could do. There's a reason the advisors go along with whatever you do so long as it gets results, that's all they really care about and need to.

T.hambeast who has not read a single book heavier than Harry potter.

Serra has literally 0 attractive features of personality to the point of being autistic, to the point of being a less than human caricature, every scene is tounge in cheek, layers of irony and winking at the camera.

Serra killed sincerity, which is ironic since she's a gay women who cant be played strait.

Serra is a bad character through and through, a poor mesh to play off other characters a poor character to further the story or develop deeper themes, everything is poor and takes the lowest mode of storytelling available.

You cant take Serra seriously in the slightest, to be that abrasive and constantly meta suggestive is every deviant art character brought to life, it brings everybody else down to heighten itself instead of play upon others. Serra behaves like an autistic child, fits of anger childlike wonder and processes, no connection.

Your favorite character is bad and iso far bad that it brings everybody else down with her, thats not good writing, christ you can make annoying or hated characters with *character* fuck read dysokey or cheov, but thats what it boils down to, Serra is a character but she has no actual *character* to her.
a joke with no sincerity in its telling.

Fernis Is nuanced but still boring quite like Anakin in the star wars prequals, everything's there but it doesn't work as well as anybody wants.

Anders was prior a good character before spirit possession, I hate him ideologically but seeing him be objectively evil and get comeuppance and results from his actions is nice. Unfortunately it comes at the cost of him being very badly one dimensional in Da2

The grey wardens being this big organization is stupid.
Literally all they need is 1 at a time.
Pick some guy who's been sentenced with an execution and make him drink that darkspawn blood stuff.
Have the regular armies of Thedas wreck darkspawn till you've got the archdemon cornered and tied down, then the one guy swaggers up and kills it.

>>166642674
The 'regular armies' are susceptible to blight sickness though.
That's why the Grey Wardens are an organized group vs being one guy. They're able to sense darkspawn and are immune to the sickness that they spread by existing.

Because they still have to release Andromeda and everyone knows how much Bioware and EA need it to be successful after the disaster that ME3 was.

Not only there are already doubts and fears about the game, but people are more hyped about DA4, which hasn't even been confirmed yet, than this game, which everyone knows is going to be a mild disaster.

The reveal of the much awaited sequel to the third game of their fantasy series that ended with a cliffhanger can distract people from their sci-fi series that needs all the hype and attention it can get.

The two series now can compete with each other because DA:I was received better than they thought and they need to be careful with how they handle them.

Also it looks like they based her face on Cassandra, but then something terrible happened. Cassandra isn't the most feminine of the bunch, but she still had more charm than Cora. That haircut is so "white 40-years old mom" too.

This.
Even then, you get situations where Bioware could put interesting gameplay in due to how the narrative is unfolding.

Instead we get a pure divide where the gameplay is its own separate thing and the story is its own separate thing. It's pretty rare that, in any of these games, you're put in charge of a thing in the story and you do anything to lead or organize that thing in gameplay

See, you don't have to be fighting the patriarchy or giving everyone a sensitive side to make deep companions.

Barik didn't have a propensity for cats or flowers or poetry, neither was he a tumblr self-insert come to life. He exemplified the stereotype of a Noble Swordsman type guy but he had his own issues, separate from those of his faction.

>why can't Bioware into good party members anymore?
It's really strange how hard they have declined, both in terms of writing and visual design. Back in the day they could make endearing characters with just a few lines and a portrait, the Baldur's Gate companions were cheesy as hell as befitting the setting but I still remember Khalid and his stuttering and Xzar the madman fondly. Kotor and Jade Empire also had good characters, especially your master in JE which was imho the coolest villain in any Bioware game. Even in their very rushed NWN single player there was some decent characters and Deekin was great, we don't often get much variation from the standard humanoid.

As of late they have started writing characters around politics than anything else and I find that those characters do not resonate at all with me. ME3 gave you two mystery meat homosexuals practically without personality and the dumb Beef McLargehuge who was really boring compared to the older characters was the best new addition. In Inquisition many characters are written the same way even if they have more distinction than the diversity hirees of ME3 they still revolve around a really boring core concept.

Not when it comes to Denuvo. AFAIK, CPY is the only group that has cracked a Denuvo protected game on Origin, e.g., Mirror's Edge Catalyst.

3DM did some Denuvo in the past but they were bad quality, but I'm still thankful, since something was better than nothing.

I still have hopes on Reloaded though, since what CPY has been doing is patching Denuvo. I'm guessing/hope some of the scene groups are working on getting rid of the DRM entirely.

So I might as well rant here:
I just finished DA:I for the first time, no DLC/add-ons. I have to say that this game is an absolute mess. It's fun and has it's charm but so much of it seems disjointed, lost or pointless.
The mechanics of power, influence and war table operations are poorly implemented.
I'm not sure what the point of power was, you get so much by doing anything. Close a rift, get power, claim a way point, get power, give a guy his missing dildo, get power. It just pour so much out that there was never a situation that I felt pressure to act on what I did or feared opening up an area to be stuck there. Influence and the perks themselves it gave was also troubling because most varied from needless to barely note worthy. The only perks that seem worth getting were the ones that unlock conversation choices and the one that added a ability point. Everything else was forgettable or worthless. The ability to resist dismounting seems needless as back tracking in the world was usually empty so unless your plans was just to bum rush the game investing in those point would be a waste. Never mind mounts were worthless in every area short of the Hissing Wastes also the fact you can't search makes it even more discouraging. The war table ops were stupid and served almost no purpose short of maybe a decent trinket here and there. There times were a mess too. anything under 10 minutes basically means the moment you start on a quest or venture out they will be done but then there were others that were in the 12+ hour range even with max amount of agents and what not where it would be ridiculous to set such a time and seems like Bioware stupidly thought it would work on people like a free to play and they login later to see what happen.
The biggest insult is you can remove everything I mention and the game would still operate the same thus asking a large question as to why any of this was placed in the game.
>>
>>166733118
Well sometimes you do need to grind power which forces you to do side quests and that artificially drags on the play time. If you would reduce this game to its main story it would be 6 hours long at best. Optionally they couldh ave made the side quests actually interesting so you do them because you want to. But in DA:I, I had the "Well fuck it, let's get mama's rign so I can finally move on" when really it should be "I'm interested in this side story, the main story can wait"
>>
>>166733118
Gameplay wise I can't say much, it's a step better than 2 but it has issues still. My biggest grief is everything gets OP to easy. More so the Mages, even before the advance classes are unlock and so far on my second playthrough it seems you can make a unkillable force of nature even on insanity. Crafting seems pointless where there are few good materials and most drops are better most of the time. You can make fun gear or craft Warrior gear a mage can wear but almost any time a drop of armor and especially weapons will out perform anything you could have craft. I swear the more I type the more I feel like I'm talking about a Fable game here with the vast amount of worthless near unfun options plugged into a game.
Conversations and follower outcomes are at least back to form and feel more honest as well as many have impact again meaning you have investment to play around with results. The worlds are nice and with enough variety to all seem different in spite of most having the same quest styles. I enjoyed it had a lot more impact of your choices from older games than DA2 did.
Overall it wasn't the worse game I played but it just left me scratching my head why they implemented resources into worthless features and didn't put more time into balancing the game.

Honestly I want is a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. When any build is a winning build it starts to begs questions as to why play the game. More so when the story isn't that good nor is the cut scenes. Half the time I was about ready to laugh at how bad the capture motion animations were. Never mind the clipping glitches.

>Being able to become godlike through exploitative mechanics is a staple in so many classic CRPGs though.
Becoming one through careful builds, hours on hours of play or exploit? Sure. Basically using common sense and within 10 hours or less? Not so much. I think the biggest flaw was the specialty classes were given when you reach a certain point in the story and you can respect. Granted even without respect it's hard to not make a killing machine.
>2h warrior is still pretty weak like its always been. Have you tried that run on higher difficulty yet?
Not on the MC but Im dabbling with Blackwall as a player two handed champion with challenge has been very beast so far as a player character, AI wise he drops like a fly. That said I do agree 2 handed warrior stands the closest as a challenge to play. It's at least not as boring as sword and board. You can't die but it gets boring.

It was a terrible slog. The combat in the DA games were never satisfying in the same way it was in the BG games so that long dungeon crawl was shit tier.
>>166745065
Maybe but I think ME1 was more about the setting than the characters and in that regard it did much better than DA, although it pretty much dropped all that by the second game when they wanted to make it character focused instead. See, it was a science fiction game first, not a dating sim or friend simulator.

You mean all the copy pasting? for a 2007 game it was insultingly mired with copy pasta planets. People that bitch about DA2's cave never faced the same space box map on the same planet titles 200 times.
>it was a science fiction game first,
Strongly disagree. They threw out a lot of large words but it was clear the writers don't understand space travel nor genetics and most of the plot seems to be basically Galaxy Rangers but with a top coat of Star Trek to look deeper than what it is. The following two games were at least more honest with what it was trying to be though looking at the fandom of 1 I'm starting to understand how a lot of terrible games get fan bases based on basically fixing one itch.
>>

Do you even know where you are? Alas, I'm too tired to rip DA:O a new asshole so eh. "Let's take the warp concept from warhammer and stick it in the most generic setting we can think of and have an ancient evil that awakens" isn't exactly stellar writing, anon. ME1's villian was more Lovecraftian and cerebral.

Yes and taking a tired as trope of fantasy and shoving it in space isn't decent writing at all.
>ME1's villian was more Lovecraftian and cerebral.
Other than it's squid design, no, it isn't and I'm getting tired of people thinking it is. When the robo cuddle fish states "Beyond your reasoning" in plain English that doesn't make it Lovecraftian, in fact it makes it the opposite and pushes it more into comic book villainy. The mage rulers of the Tevinter Imperium entering the Golden city and what befell afterwards is closer to Lovecraftian where a reach for knowledge lead to madness and decay. Also Grey Wardens and how they are indoctrinated is a lot closer to lovecraft.
Also the biggest difference is presentation. Mass Effect: "We have to stop the reapers." Why? "Because they told us they were going to blow it all up". Dragon Age Origins "We have to stop the Blight" Why? "Did you miss all those razed cities we just ran from?" It's a big reason ME3 was such a let down, we were told for two games armageddon was coming but it was actually less impressive than Dragon Age's blights even though it was nearly a 1 for 1 copy. Also indoctrination isn't very lovecrafting either, it's more Stephen King.
>>
What's with the us vs them mentality propagated here between ME and DA?
>>
>>166758145
Don't know about them, but /meg/ faggots have been regularly coming here to false-flag, spam, or just shitpost for months.
>>
>>166758145
It's not really there. Honestly it's just both fix different scratches. Mass Effect however does get a lot of defense because there are not a large amount of Space travel RPGs so they look over it's flaws a bit more shamelessly.
Both have serious flaws but Mass Effect isn't a good game and the first one aged bad out the gate, but again, how many RPGs are made in a year that let you travel to Procyon and drive around the planet while flirting with aliens? That's how it stays strong while say an equally bad game like Dragon Age 2 get smash for the trash it is because we average about 2 Fantasy RPGs a year since the 90s so the bar is set and expected much higher.
>>
>>166758830
>Honestly it's just both fix different scratches
Then why compare them?

Also, I wouldn't say that ME1 isn't a good game, but it's very heavily flawed. It's a chore to play a good portion of the time, but the good parts are really enjoyable

Ah that's even easier answer: both are made by the same company and recycle assets from each other. They are also the only two IPs Bioware is working on anymore.

>you'd think the good parts would appeal to most people that would be interested in a space opera type game in the first place
I'm not sure, I was rather disappointed with the first game and I am a shameless space fan of the Treks, Wars, hell Red Dwarf even. But ME just felt awful, but then again, I wasn't there to romance aliens, or be a special snowflake that saved mankind, I wanted a good space adventure and it wasn't there. Most of the more interesting plot points were stuff away in codex entries, the plot was too Deus Ex and basically every went from either one extreme to another in first game's plot(really the whole series) which can be summed up as: they all believe Shepard based on his word alone or they all disbelieve Shepard in spite of a mountain of should be there evidence. It just left me more disappointed than happy with it but from what I've seen when you play the game in age and experience in media (film, books etc) really effects how much you do or don't enjoy it.

Dragon Age: Origins while simple in plot hit all the right notes of getting yourself lost in a magic world and the race against the clock both felt real and understandable to the plot. People's actions and events that unfolded added up right and the depth of choice was much better than A or B three times over with 0 impact for the rest of the game.
>>
>>166761636
>then again, I wasn't there to romance aliens
See, but that's a big part of the appeal for a lot of people, and part of space operas as a genre (if you want to call it that). They want to be Captain Kirk.

I'm not going to argue for the plot. I don't care for it. I play it because I like the crew interaction. However limited that is, it's not in any other game series that I know of besides KOTOR

Is pirated DA2 completely incompatible with windows 10? Keeps crashing when I try to boot it up. I'm not going to buy this shit if it isn't a bundle with everything but I want to play it.

Which release are you trying to get to run? I installed the RG Catalyst release awhile back and it worked alright.

R G Mechanics. Windows 10 has shit tier error messages so i don't even know what's wrong, it just refuses to run.

Did you run the configuration tool first? Where you set your settings. It could also be you don't have the different frameworks installed.

There was some post on the BSN from someone who claimed to have inside info that PeeBee is bi and Reyes is gay. Assuming they're wrong though I've also had the suspicion PeeBee could be the lesbian option.

>>166777768
It'd help if we knew more about her. It's obvious now Drack's not going to be a romance, but with Vetra all we know is that family is important to her, which might suggest she already has one, husband/wife included.

No, if they can't be arsed to put together a complete package for me to buy then I won't. Same thing with the second and third Mass Effect games. I have bought their older games back when they came complete out of the box, ME1 which is complete on Origin, DA:O, which has an Ultimate Edition, DA:I's GOTY edition... I just refuse to be nickel and dimed after a purchase, either I get the whole thing or nothing.
>>
>>166780743
Well DA2 obviously never had a GOTY edition because it's shit.
>>
>>166780858
Neither did ME2 and some idiots hail that failure of a game the best in the whole series.

Fuck my elven ass. Changed the renderer to directX 9 and it works now for some reason. Probably downloaded and installed another release completely unnecessarily.
>>166782656
It's really strange that they haven't put together a complete package of the trilogy though, you'd think there would be at least some demand for it. DA2 had basically no retailer demand a couple of days after release but ME2 still has a good reputation.

Not it didn't.
Your castle never gets attacked and you barely use most of your resources.

All the shit you acquire over the course of the game through quests or wartable is boiled down to one of three rewards:
>Armor/Weapon schematics (useful and nice)
>Materials or premade equipment (almost always garbage)
>Power

Power is the cancer of ME3 and DA:I and I wager it'll be in ME:A.

See, the issue is that they're trying to convince you that you're the ruler of some huge organization and that you have a lot of say and authority but they hamstring all of the interesting logistics that running organizations like the Inquisition.

The sort of general experience you get in a 4X or Grand Strategy game is what Inquisition ought to have had if they were trying to sell the fantasy of being this sort of leader. Instead it boils out into (both in DAI and ME3) "Oh Commander/Inquisitor, you have so much sway and you're so influential. Just let me take care of all the details and decisions and you can decide which one of the three of us cocksuckers takes care of it, with marginally different results and a bit of flavor text"

Power/War Assets are the garbage of what Bioware considers 'putting you in charge' and 'building a movement' because it boils the nuance and interlocking nature of organizations into a single resource that requires no thought on the developer's or programmer's part. It's the legitimately laziest way to try to sell the fantasy of having authority short of it being a binary "You now have enough influence/You do not have enough influence."

I felt really cockblocked that DA:I had nothing to show for all the resources I built up for the literal namesake of the game.
>>
>>166793440
they already said they had to cut a lot of shit from DAI because of last gen, like the whole defending crestwood thing.

it's pretty clear that they had to scale back after the decision to release on 360/PS3 was made

Yeah but they cut entire gameplay mechanics.
Like why bother having a power mechanic in the game at all if it's gonna be that shallow?
Why have a power mechanic at all, why not just lock areas to a level cap? At least then I might understand why I feel like I have very little control of the goings ons.

See, mechanically there's no reason why they would need to cut so much given that the main difference between consoles are the GPUs. CPUs are usually overpowered for most nearly any game and that's where the majority of the Inquisition building would have resided, in 4X/Grand Strategy-like CPU calculations.

See, ME3 pulled a similar move and that was ONLY available on 360/PS3. Bioware's conception of gameplay mechanics is incredibly simplistic. Not only do Gameplay and Story seem to exist in two entirely separate spheres of design but even in gameplay it feels like they're driven 99% by what some EA focus-group director has 'researched' is the main and minimum and only features they need to include for the game to build hype and sell.

I mean Tyranny did more than ME3 or DA:I and most of that wasn't graphically intensive, it was just taking the time to lay out systems that interact with each other on a basic level. Fucking Divinity Dragon Commander did even more than Tyranny and Inquisition and that's from a much smaller studio.

This is why I have so little hope for Andromeda: Modern Bioware's fundamental conception of any feature is the most surface level interpretation of it. See, It's why gameplay in ME3 was so solid: it was largely unchanged from the foundation set down by ME2, when EA likely brought in some of the devs from another team to help on that end.

You're not gonna get anything deep on combat or story in Andromeda. You're barely gonna get something that is fun on occasion because EA and whoever is left at Bioware is running these series based on a checklist of features and 'vibe' feels from the story and aesthetic.

>>166794598
i mean you have valid points but we've all been here long enough that we know andromeda is going to be a huge disappointment in some fields. i think the people who were already determined not to play it made that decision a long time ago.

Not rushed, just poorly executed and lazily conceived.

Like, DA:I we were promised entire systems that weren't included. Like not just certain missions or areas, entire mechanics were cut and they weren't cut for graphical intensity that the 360 would have been able to handle.

I mean we get to build our base a bit but it has effectively no outcome on anything other than some cosmetics. No one comments on them, they don't affect any meaningful mechanics. Why include that if they were intended to be cosmetic from the very beginning?

You can explore and establish outposts and forts but there's both fewer than suggested in the previews for Inquisition and they serve way less of a purpose than advertised.
>>
>>166795226
I'd say it was more underwhelmingly executed not poorly. Cause it still works pretty well, it's at least functional, if a bit shallow.
