I see my review snippets got posted here, no credit to me, lol.

I'm sorry, I mentioned your name on top of my post. ^^'
I'm willing to remove the info if you wish?


It was just a joke, I just found it funny it was listed in a general sense above your post, lol.

Too bad my italics and what not didn't transfer over.

Don't forget this, as well:




 The tiny snippet at the end says:

"Crazy-hefty 40-plus hour RPG experience with loads of choices and branching paths to tackle.

Great characters and fan-service nods for attentive Origins nerds.

Recycled dungeons aplenty make for annoying deja vu; slow start; tweaks may irk series purists.

Why are nearly all humans English, dwarves American, and elves Irish?"

--- Romance explanation: ---

"Dragon Age: Origins got a lot of ink for its fearlessness in stripping its characters down to their skivvies for some rather awkward campfire flesh-pressing to depictt "romance." Call us immature, but what was supposed to be poignant instead just gave us a case of red-faced grade-school giggles. Thankfully, DAII ditches the oddball uncanny-balley sex scenes for much more subtle, tasteful pairings. The result keeps its intended story-path purpose without all that goofy YouTube fodder. Thank the Maker, seriously."

 

Thank goodness. Now I won't laugh out loud when I see a romance scene if the Merrill pictures are any indication

There are periods of time where your Warden was not with her. I.E. Awakenings.

Things didnt work out between them, and they later went their own ways.

I just learned that yesterday from several of my internet friends never send theire Warden through Awakening. They use a Orlaisian one instead.

So, are you keeping the all bi/not all bi info to yourself? :whistle:

Really, I find myself wondering if the Arishok is romancable....:innocent:

Irrelevant to me... well I guess if I romance someone by natural and genuine progression through the story and I learn that they'd of gone the other way... that might be relevant.

Well, now I question if I want to use either Fenris or Anders.............I don't want to be pushed into being anti-mage or anti-templar. Then again, I'm more inclined to be anti-Templar since mages run in the family.

I want to be free and adventurous hence why Isabela seems so awesome to me.

I'm sort of rather be neutral but I suspect game events will force a choice on me. It will be......a hard but interesting one.

@Bekkael, you read my thought! I had that tinkling feeling since I watch the Aveline quest on YT yesterday!

@Somebody, apparently game reviewers got the game early so they can post their reviews just before the release (like now) to generate sales.

You could read my thread, and then realize that this is my paraphrasing from a magazine review that I just got in America.

They didn't. They kindly shared an Xbox Magazine review. The original post is currently on page 2.

Of course game reviewers get the full game early, just like movie critics get to watch new releases early.

It's not relevant to me either. I'm just sick to death of seeing it splashed on thread after thread with endless speculations. I can't wait for the actual info to silence all of it. ;)

@Tankgirly, here is the complete review (or the complete summary of the review). With thanks to Aesieru!



The game will send you on a robust number of side quests, many of the dungeon journeys being set in recycled layouts such as prettier versions of the planet-based side-quests in Mass Effect, which can elicit yawns after Hour 35 of being directed to "random spider-packed cave dungeon #17", but the tradeoff is acceptable for the good looks and colorful palette that is significantly improved.

Inventory has undergone a drastic facelift, as you can only outfit Hawke completely, resorting to mere weapon changes for your part, and "upgrading" their armor with rune slots.


Well, I don't like these two points. Especially the inventory one. But oh well, I suppose we have to live with the "more semplification, more action" thingie.

@Bekkael, believe me, I was on the verge of tears when that happened and have to resolve in hiding in HotU Valen thread. Pissed off two of my forumites just because I burp a word that I hate it.

@Dunizel, actually, that's what they did to ME 2. No armour changing on companions. Lost all the fun.

I know they're not all bi-sexual because the writers aren't like that.

I'd say that Merrill isn't, Fenris is, Bethany isn't, Carver isn't, Sebastian isn't, Aveline isn't, Isabela is (but I doubt she'd want that to be a full relationship), Varric isn't, Anders isn't.

Anders is. Him and Male Hawke flirt together in a review.
Merrill is. Lesbian scenes uncovered in demo.

How wonderful. Now we got something to put in in the summary.

It hasn't (as far as I have read/seen) been definitively said who is/isn't. I'm just so tired of all the chatter over it. Hence why I have avoided many character or romance threads and spend most of my time here. :-)

Strange then, that goes against what their characters seem to indicate... though I guess with Merrill it makes sense if she's looking for a confidante...

Maybe, not Anders though, and flirting doesn't mean full on sexual relationship.

I heartily agree. I absolutely hated that aspect of ME2. Miranda's **** outfit in the game drove me bats. I prefer ALL party members be able to be equipped in all the stuff the PC has access to. When you remove inventory control, you remove a massive chunk of RPG pleasure. That just stinks, IMO. :?
