Love Interests - To Bash or not to Bash
#1
Posté 30 décembre 2010 - 01:14
Instead of bashing how a character looks, acts, dresses, behaves, sounds like, smells like, dances, walks, lays down, and winks at you, hows 'bout we not?
For one - The only Love Interest that has been announced thus far is one. One lady out of a whole ton of companions, and we all know her by name - Isabela.
For two - The only screen caps we've seen is during the game when it is still unfinished and unrefined, we are talking maybe only 50% done. Complaining about someone's appearance in that game is like complaining that the cake tastes awful before anyone is able to bake it. Seriously. Let the cake bake.
For three - All this griping is based on unfounded assumptions. No one knows if Aveline is romancable. There are still other companions that have been unannounced. Even then, the only thing anyone has seen of Aveline are poor screen caps (See above) and concept art that looks nothing like the finished product (Compare Fenris with his screen caps. Seriously. Take a shot everytime you spot the difference! you'll be passed out).
So next time you decide that it is warranted to attack a character based on LI, go down that list of three and see if your attack is even warranted. It probably isn't.
Luck.

So, where is this thread heading again?
If it gets locked, it gets locked. If not, it doesn't. Its better than seeing five hundred new threads pop up talkin' bout how ugly an LI is when that LI hasn't even been announced yet.

Someone got slighted today.
I'm just tired of hearing so much griping and defending these characters, that I thought it warranted a header post.
No one knows who the other LI are. Nothing has been announced.

It's hopeless, they are going to make whiny unknowing-clone threads until the game releases and possibly more afterward. Using logic here is like trying to put out a fire with a tissue, futile.

Amen to that!

I really wish we could all get along, but expecting everyone to have the same opinions or feel the same way as you is unrealistic.

See Bioware? This is what happens when you don't constantly bring out new info.
Maybe we'll get something tomorrow?
Pleeeeeaaaaaase, Bioware?

Jellyfish are good in salads. Be sure to "soften" them first.

The cake is a lie.
But on a serious note - it's so much FUN to make generic assertions about characters based on nothing!!!
On a serious note 2 - what else are we going to talk about?

You lack snark. It meant complaining about complaining does no good.

To be quite honest, I'm getting annoyed by how sensitive people are being in both the Fenris and Varric threads towards anything that even comes close to criticism. Discussing the little we know so far can only take us so far, so speculating about flaws is inevitable. Getting upset about posts that are less than gushing is futile; your best hope if all you want currently is a "love" thread is to make a private group and retreat there.

The problem is that people start by criticizing characters, and end up by bashing one another rather than agreeing to disagree. That's life on the internet, I suppose.

BioWare, unless you produce something I can ****** to, you have failed as a game development company and as human beings. I expect a sexy female elven love interest who has remained chaste and untouched until my Blatant-Ego-Stoke Hawke came along or you're not getting my money.
That's right. $59.99 minus retail mark-up that you'll never see. Heads will roll when Mike Darrah finds out what you've done.

Isabela is a **** because she let me have sex with her. Fenris is a sissy, emo elf-boy. Varric is short, hairy and looks someone's court ordered 'may not live in a neighborhood with elementary school' uncle. Aveline is ManZilla.
