I just use it to recharge my iPhone, and occasionally my razor.

To be honest, this fear only exists due to you using an example (arm wrestling Duncan's beard ontop of the chantry, I beleive) a month or two ago that the game would go where the narrator mentions Duncan's beard and then ingame itself you start hearing rumors of Duncan's beard. It feels to me like it would create a linear plot if it followed like this.

Can I get one?

I will be severely disappointed if we don't get a Muffinking, even though I am not sure whether it is an animal, mineral or beard, because only something carved out in awesome would warrant the name Muffinking.

On-topic : I guess it will be divided into chapters, and within those chapters there will be freedom in terms of what order we wish to play the quests? Which doesn't sound too bad? I don't know, I am too absorbed with this Muffinking. What is it? How does it work???

I would welcome a linear plot if it means logical and involving progression throughout a well told story.

With the potential energy this forum has, you could run the LHC at CERN.  :whistle:

I imagine it going like this.

4 optional areas to visit.

After 3 plots complete 2 years pass

Forced to do something for the story.

THen 2 more options open up and you have a total of 3 places to visit.

Imagine Masseffect 2 but things changing overtime.

At least we know that the Bioware writers are eco-friendly, doing your part in protecting the world. Bioware should band together and make a Captain Planet episode with you guys writing it.

If it made coffee that wasn't decaf, I'd be more than happy to.

You should get a powerbar and have the marketing reveal more information, lies or not (like if the game was linear *hint hint*) and it'll make you super-coffee.

Wow. *googly eyes*



p.s. Lets flood the forum with positive feelings. Apparently this will shut down the coffee machines at Bioware. According to science, when writers don't have access to caffeine something akin to the robot apocalypse will occur.

Hey, look at Alpha Protocol. That game had a framed narrative and choices out the ass.


No it didn't

What do you mean?


It pretty much has the same structure as ME 1 and DA

Once you get out of Saudi Arabia you are free to go wherever you want.

Hell in those hubs you can often do the missions in any order you want

But... the story was told by Leland and Michael talking in a room. In flashbacks. I'm pretty sure that's a framed narrative.

I should get an achievement or something for having a thread be derailed by writers.
