Does that mean it's back? I liked that about DA O. Morrigan's nose, my Warden's hips, Shales remarks on human relations...
dont forget shale and sten compairing humans to monkeys throwing feces at each other.
In Origins, the banter didn't include the Warden, so whether I had control over it didn't matter.Dubya75 wrote...
You had no control over banter in Origins, you will have no control in DA2.
My conversation choices, which might not mean to me what the developers think they mean, and which I can't even choose intelligently because of the ofuscatory paraphrase system? You mean those conversation choices?Like the Devs said however, your banter lines are determined by your dominant personality, which is based on your conversation choices.
Faith is irrational.Have a little faith.

And here I thought this would be too much work for BW. I'm impressed.

Only partially. Hawke will respond according to the dominant tone. Did you play the demo? At one point, a decision is made to go south. Hawke will respond to that in 3 ways, according to what the dominant tone is.
Since it isn't P&P one can't have 100% control anyway, but this seemed rather consistent to me. Very much looking forward to see more of this (probably next week... being in Europe and having busy weekends isn't going to help for gaming time 
)
Which can easily lead to situations like your Hawke snapping at companions during the banter because you'd happened to take hard line while talking with completely different NPCs a while earlier in the same game act, which the game dutifully recorded as your "dominant personality".Dubya75 wrote...

Faith has nothing to do with it. The system has certain limitations and it's ok to recognize them.

I don't think that assumes the worst, it's just a recognition that it's simply not possible for the coding to match the preferences of every single person out there. As such, the system is bound to fail in some cases and for some people, that's all. It's not paranoia, it's realismEscherEnigma wrote...
However, it's also a bit paranoid to assume the worst before you see it. Seeing all the work the devs have already put in, is it really hard to assume that they also checked your current friendship/rivalry or also tracked responses to particular characters? There's lots of ways they could do this, why assume the worse?
This isn't really true. CRPGs can offer 100% control over a narrower range of options. That the range isn't unlimited doesn't mean that the choices we're making don't offer 100% control.Mahumia wrote...

You got me there, we all know what happens when you assume.
Right. My character might be aggressive toward someone because he thinks that person will respond to aggression. That doesn't make my character aggressive, and it tells the designers nothing about how my character would respond to some different stimulus.tmp7704 wrote...
