But that defeats the idea of trying. Sure, you can take it off the table, but it has to be on it first.

Before anyone posts it, yes I saw Mary Kirby's quote about Varric, and yes it's already in the list.
Well at the beginning it wasn't so important, since there wasn't much on it anyway. But as it approaches "wall o' text" status, it gets more and more difficult to scan. It feels like there should be one "true" way of organizing it, but if there is, I haven't found it yet.Bryy_Miller wrote...
Ocky, it amazes me how you change the entire layout of the first post so much.

My only pet peeve is that you play a character that exists in the game, not one of your own creation. You'll always be Hawke no matter how many times you play and always the same race... that sucks.

You're always a Cousland everytime you play as Human Noble. I think people are getting too hung up on the last name.

I expressed myself poorly, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that I don't like cinematic games at all. In fact, I'm a sucker for cinamtic games. I just fear that Bioware sacrifices too much (e.g. player generated character, more races) just to make the game as cinematic as Mass Effect.Riona45 wrote...

Why does everything have to be so cinematic? It is not a "must" to a good RPG. I'm going even further, it is not needed at all in a good RPG. If the story and the dialogues are well written, and we have interesting characters, I don't care about camare angels, face animations etc. This is not a film.
Of course a good RPG need not be cinematic. As has been mentioned before, it could simply be text-based.
But whether it's fair or not, "cinematic" games are popular right now. And you know, DA:O was a cinematic game. It had pleasing (if not stellar) graphics, face animations, and featured the use of dramatic and movie-like camera angles. Was that a problem for you?

Im somewhat excited for DA2, I am slightly concerned about the changes and the seeming dumbing down of the RPG ideals for the console problems. I also tend to find the Art Style jarring compared to DAO/DAA.

You know, the morality system really is a Lucasarts concept. It only really started coming into play for the Jedi Knight series. The morality system in RPGs is just now growing into its teens, if you think about it. That or it was a brief fad.

Do so many people honestly believe that those who play on a different platform than they do--or play games in a different way--are somehow "dumber" than they are? Or do they just not care about coming off as elitist twits?
I know, it's sad. And that post isn't even that bad. Someone in another thread just claimed that, "If you give a casual player the ability to mash X button, he won't learn anything else, like setting tactics or combining spells."

Andar, Bryy...it's kind of amazing how people can set up social pecking orders in just about anything (in their own minds if nowhere else). These are freaking video games, for HAVING FUN, it's not Serious Business.

I don't doubt it. I'm just disappointed at the lack of civility that some of these people show. Personal beliefs are one thing, but some posts are down right rude and insulting.
