Anyone else see an immediate, almost identical, plot description as Mass Effect 2? And they're changing the combat? That sounds sketchy as hell.

[Vicious]

crybaby thread.

[Chris Priestly]

I'm pretty sure I didn't read anything about spaceships or aliens anywhere in DA2.

Fine imagination on your part though.

How the hell does the plot sound anything like mass effect 2?

[Gill Kaiser]

Since when did Mass Effect span a decade?

It's in DA2 that we find out the massive story twist that DA and its expansions and sequels are just the PnPRPG campaign that the crew of the normandy has on weekends.

You know what I mean. A Suvivor of the destruction of your home, Recruiting a team of elite soldiers, Rise up to power to confront an evil.

although i agree with Chris's statement that this is a silly comment. I also dont see the "we have castles and dragons, they have spaceships and aliens" as a strong argument that the plot is different. setting - yes, plot - no

[Vox the devil_]

damn double post.

well if you say it like that I can mention MAAANY others.

[Foune]

I like that as fast as the game is revealed I've seen nothing but flame at Bioware.

The former only occurs with some Shepard backgrounds, and even then aren't even significant in Mass Effect.

The latter two are basically every BioWare game ever.

We probably just have a undying love for pryomania and want to burn anything, especially those we love.

But, but.. you're describing pretty much every Bioware game.

As Gaider once said; it's their apple orchard.. or something.

That's like 93% of all RPGs friend, it could also be said that's an exact description of BG's plot.

I'm waiting to see how exactly the gameplay changed to decide whether to flame or not, but so far it sounds really sketchy.

I don't recall my home being destroyed in Mass Effect. Sure my ship did but I got a shiny new one. I also don't recall having Shepard rise up and become the new space king or anything.

Shepards home was basically his ship, and all his dialogue to Joker says he doesn't really like it and that it replaced the original normandy.

He did have to rise back up so to speak. After his death and rebirth he had to gather a team and kill the Collectors without the help of the council again.

[Gill Kaiser]

It's just the Hero's Journey, man.

[Mich-cz]

hmm, on the other hand - "you must gather the deadliest of allies" where I have heard it? it sounds somehow familiar to me

You'd have to really stretch at this point to make these sort of comparisons.  The main plot of the Dragon Age series deals with sleeping Old Gods who wake up every now and then to cause havoc, and I can see the similarity to the Reapers of Mass Effect, but that's not what you're pointing out. 

Until we find out that Hawke has previously saved the galaxy, was killed, resurrected by a previous enemy, and now must recruit a team to take out some new form of darkspawn controlled by Old Gods, I will personally choose to believe that they're not planning to rip off the plot of ME2.  I'd be pretty disappointed if they did...

1. I wasn't arguing that before, but thanks! I'll add that to my point

2. We don't know he didn't for sure yet

Well, the Mass Effect 2 wasn't all that original in terms of gathering people to fight a big bad evil.  Mass 2 wasn't the first thing that did it.  So copying it is no great crime.

Now, if you have to earn your party members' loyalty by completing these side missions like these

You find the creator of the Blight and then encounter a past student...
You must take your assassin friend on a quest for vengeance against the guy that sold out his allies...
You help a party member find out the awful truth about what his father's been doing all these years...
You take a headstrong young mage to her old school and discover things are not as she remembered...

Well that would be fail.  Amusingly fail--but still fail.
