Ah, everyone that quoted me just didn't get the message. If you read it to the end then you might realize you only succeeded in bumping this thread. Thanks for playing!


OK, so you're trolling.  I guess I will report you (and this thread) then.

I would love to see the real statistics on this supposed percentage of players who mostly only played human characters. I think it was a made up Bioware statistic just so they wouldn't have to make more than one race and incorporate the new love of voiced-protagonists. I can make up my own statistics too, let me just jump in Photoshop, Illustrator or some crap Office program and make a pie chart really fast...nah, nothing will come of it! Image IPB

I love being a Elf but I think it would be weird forcing people to play a race that they would not like, Humans is a safe race to force people to play since we are humans and all games usally force you to play a human.

If I was forced to play a dwarf I wouldn't be that thrilled...

You'd unfortunately be wrong, though the heartland of the fanbase is not exactly the best place to post dissenting opinion.


I would think it was a just a dissenting opinion if it weren't for the blatant stab at Varric fans.

You make a good case for Bioware never showing you (and by extension, all of us fans) any statistics--if you don't like what they show, you'll just assume they are lying.

If you assume bad faith on their part, why should they show you anything?  It'd be a losing game for them.


They did show stats for ME2:

I personally don't care about the human only issue - I usually play humans, anyway - but, you know that's for Mass Effect.  It shouldn't have any bearing on DA.

The forums were exactly the same before DAO came out "I hate this I think this sucks I think that companion is lame and I dont know why people like them." etc etc....game came out...everyone shut up....DA2 is announced...all the complaining starts again...then everyone accepts the idea and stops complaining...all things will be fine until DA3 is announced and people will start complaining again...its the cycle that never ends.

You Sir, are a step ahead of the rest, have a gold star! Image IPB

Just because people have differing opinions doesn't mean they are "trolls." I'm sure someone has already done a study or two about mob mentality amongst fanbases, but one on game developer forums might be amusing.

I don't think it was a stab at them, so much.  I think the intent was to point out that Varric doesn't look like what a dwarf should, to the TC.

Personally, I agree he looks less-dwarf-like (and no, I can't explain it any better than that) although it doesn't bother me much.

I wasn't attacking the fan base I was just stateing that I don't know how people can love a character that no one really knows right now since the game is not out! I wasn't bashing them I just don't understand how

I don't think it was a stab at Varric fans really, everyone just calm down please. It's just an opinion. Varric doesn't look much like a dwarf, but the character actually seems like one of the more interesting offerings in DA 2 to me so far.

the problem here is people using varrick as the new look for the dwarfs when in fact its explained why hes different compared to the rest just because fenris and varrick differentiate from their race doesnt mean all of them changed

I haven't seen this explanation - if you would give me an idea where to look, or link me, I'd appreciate it.

Also, he is the only dwarf we've seen, I think.  So we kind of have to use him as a reference for what dwarves look like, don't we?

 Watch out AlanC9, McGruff's-Junior-Internet-Forum-Crime-Fighting-Team might report you for trolling too! Image IPB
 (when you aren't doing any such thing)

But, back on topic...

I'm guessing Bioware is inspired by non-sequential Hollywood titles like the Rambo movies. None of the titles of those movies follow each other correctly.

It's their game. They can do what they want with it.

Varric is a surface-born dwarf. He's adapted to the human environment that he grew up in. Mary Kirby has given us all sorts of interesting information about why he's different.



oooo do you have a link for that i was just thinking about that!!!? Image IPBImage IPB

I'll stop calling troll here. Maybe the Op doesn't have time to reply yet. The threads only been out for an hour so I'll give it time but wait 24 hours and if they pop back with more negativity and nothing to back it up then we'll know.

[/quote]1.base on the porcentage of players who played dwarves and elfs, humans dominated by more than 70% so it was not and never was the prominent aspect of origins

ROFL. Based on the percentage of people who plays RPGs, Boardgames, use film, drinks wine, paint..... we shoulnd't even have all these!!!!  Most people don't even know LOTR was a book before the movies. Frack percentages and mainstream.

The forum exists for people to give their opinion. Most of the things the OP said are fairly common criticisms of the game when you go out of  the forums here and *gasp* even on the forums here.

I don't think its fair to lambast someone a "troll" simply because they post a topic and don't immediately respond in kind to every reply. Not everyone is going to post links and a damn bibliography with footnotes and citations on a  forum post.

The OP has an opinion on DA2. You have an opinion on DA2. As do I and everyone else  here. Lets not resort to name calling simply because someone has a different viewpoint.
