Who said this is an MMO?
Massive Multiplayer online... Not much multi involved.

 There's been comparisons made, and anyone that screams about anything being overpowered in a single player RPG more than likely is stuck in a MMO mindset.

YES: This game is pretty awesome, dare I say EPIC on occasion

NO: This is not a successor to Baldur's Gate, Mass Effect with swords, maybe...

NO: To stripping classes down to four tiers and four ranks within each

NO: To everything being dumbed down for consoles

YES: I want a hardcore D&D ruleset driven game using the same game engine

[Delcar]

NO: This isn't a Forgotten Realms game.
NO: You won't 'pwn' 'mobs' without some thought or effort.
NO: You can't respec, suck it up.
YES: You do look like a queer santa Stronghold II.

And Marshcant?  hardcore and D&D?  lol.  If you want hardcore you'd have to base on something else.

I agree with most of the points made here, except those who are insisting that a story is defined by dialog. That's not actually true.  A story is defined by plot, characters, settings, etc.  However, you can have a very simple story without dialog:

"Once upon a time a princess kissed a frog, and the frog became a prince.  They lived happily ever after.  The end."

No dialog; still a story. 


Also, there are plenty of non-fiction books on history which tell an amazing story.  I feel badly for those of you who have never had the good fortune to read one.

Now, all of the above notwithstanding, I love the storytelling in Dragon Age.  It's what sets the game apart from so many others, and BioWARE is well known for their outstanding storytelling.  Certainly their games are very dialog intensive.  That's one of the ways that BioWARE has chosen to tell their stories.  Dialog also allows you to make choices which have in-game consequences, and that leads to immersion.  In my opinion, immersion is what sets apart a good story from a bad one.

Yes: People find different things easy or hard.
No: The fact you find the game difficult does not mean it is innately the most difficualr game ever or a giant designer mistake.
No: The fact you find the game easy does not make you a genius game-player and superior to anyone who finds it difficult.
Yes: Some people like micro-management of battles and using the pause button.
Yes: Some people hate micro-managemnt and constant use of the pause button.
Yes: I am loving this game, but understand not everyone will.

Dialogue is not storytelling, it's just words.

Amazing how that works.

I weep for every playwrite since Aristophanes then. Imagine how much better their plays would have been with exposition!

No one is saying that stories never have dialog.  The point is that you don't need dialog to tell a story.  It seems that Taleroth would prefer that this story be told with less dialog and more in-game action.  There's nothing inherently wrong with that.  It's just his opinion.  I happen to love the dialog.

I'm much happier with this interpretation, which I didn't get from Taleroth's comments.

I have to say this was a GREAT post. I was actually laughing my butt off at the gay with Alistair comments. Too funny and the post itself was definetly correct to the point.

 It use to be funny, but now that I have an actually man crush on Alistair, I am a bit more concerned than I am amused.

A couple of nights in a tent with Morrigan ought to clear that up (unless, of course, Zevran inserts himself in between the sheets when you aren't looking...)

[mr_nameless]

Though this is not an MMO in terms of classes it has the same mechanics/ cool-down interface an MMO mixed in with the strategic party interface. In terms of looks in looks alot like an MMO.



Its too bad Bioware didn't go for a Diablo 3 kinda appearance with a darker, grittier look. I really hope Diablo 3 does well to help out a new trend of beautiful 3D isometric games out.

I dunno what it is with Alistair. Honestly, I love him really badly too, but I think that's more a testament to his depth than anything to do with sexuality.

You know, I'm pretty sure it's just that we're relieved that it's not another Kaiden/Carth Onasi romance. This one is actually good.

[poofpoof]

Yes: The search function is still broken



Yes: If it upsets you that same posts come up over and over again you should probably not be here anymore

This site can be improved, and personally I'd give BioWare a bit of time to do that - establishing other sites (damods/danexus/davault/dawhatever) just risks fragmenting the community.

Personally I'm going to just stay here, at least for the next few weeks - I have made some specific suggestions regarding how to make the site more usable, and I hope BioWare will implement something like that. If not, well...in that case the social site will die and we will all move elsewhere, but for now I'll just wait.

 Other than search being all jacked up, what's wrong with this site?

[Kevin Lynch]

Nono, no discussion of the site in this forum. Take it to the site help forum if you have questions, concerns, complaints, praises, suggestions, etc.

 I just want to complain, is there a special forum for me to do that?
