What I find scary is that some people are willing to pay for mediocracy. If thats the new trend, then I need to get out of my current business and sell crap for fast cash.

No thats not a new trend. Its a very old one. Just Ask  P.T. Barnum.


(Not that I agree in this particular instance...)

The enemies that "drop from the sky" are all bandits, and they only do so when in two-story areas, from locations where it's perfectly plausible for ambushing bandits to be lying in wait.

So these bandits were clinging to the rafters like Spiderman?

People are buying a society model? Where can I get them?

Oh...you meant -Mediocrity-.....

You missed the point. :innocent:

I really don't think it's fair using this picture as an example, after all you dont see what's on the other side of the room.















They were having an innocent tea party. You see, it's all perfectly reasonable.:innocent:

What everyone misses in that shot is the Velcro on the other side of their shields. And the carpet on the ceiling.

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Okay just about spit coffee all over my keyboard at work!  Really ultra casual mode!

I really can't believe I haven't seen someone link that clip before in one of the many threads on the ninja topic we've had. So couldn't resist.

Sorry about the keyboard!

LOL! Not a problem I got papertowels.

Doesn't every shield in-game have Velcro?

Indeed. As does every weapon. How else would they stick to your back? Enchantment?

This thread is going place so fun even the Ninjas can't find it....what's that noise above me...? *ack!*

I know, I used the "turn invisible and run" excuse early myself,
but playing the game I've seen Mages vanish and appear literally clear
across the other side of the battle arena in less than a second. No
pudgy Mage can run that fast. lol. Nah, it's some sort of teleportation.

Yeah, but Isabella can do that, and Rogue Hawke can do that, and Sebastian can do that, even Varric can do that, all presumably without using magic at all, so why can't a mage, with access to a Haste type of magic, do that too? They even use the Stealth animation when they do it.

Also, in gameplay terms it kills a lot of tactical thinking. If you
have a character covering a possible line of advance (an alley) or
barricading themselves on higher ground, the "paratroopers" destoy that
in seconds.

That's just lazy thinking. Of course "paratroopers" don't "destroy tactical thining", they enhance tactical thinking, because tactical thinking is about keeping on your toes and reacting to new information. The lack of paratrooperswould be more harmful to tactical thinking as it encourages lazy choices that allow you to easilly "tower up" into an invincible position.

This way any rogue can be a deadly assassin.. at the expense of health or stamina.
A fighter can be a tank at the expense of being focused on one thing.
A mage can be a glass cannon, a buffer, a disabler, a damager... etc.
Or any other number of the many variations to party and class.

It'd be nearly impossible to balance properly, they'd either get picked apart by a clever player, or crush even the best players. There's no way they could manage all the options available "just right".

What I find scary is that some people are willing to pay for mediocracy.
If thats the new trend, then I need to get out of my current business
and sell crap for fast cash.

Please, for all it's flaws, it's still a great game. I've been buying far worse games for decades now. I mean, Fable III kept me trapped in the start menu for nearly a month!

You can believe in dragons and magic but no guards in plate armour materializing from thin air??? :lol::lol:

I'm sorry, but there are things I can accept in my fantasy RPGs and things I can not.

And I think we can all agree that a floating tea party on the roof is far more believable than spontaneously appearing guards.

In a magical setting, Summon the Troops can take on a new meaning....

Ya know, I have a screenshot of fully armored templars dropping from thin air that was taken during the "Noble Agenda" quest. No ogres, although their sudden appearance behind the party during the Herbalist's Tasks: Ironwood Clearing is a bit hard to accept. How does the party manage to stroll past an ogre without noticing it?

Let me go on record officially as saying I'd be completely fine with this option. In fact I'd enjoy it quite a bit. Call it 'Ultra-Casual' mode if you'd like.


Hopefully It would look something like this.

What the hell ?  Did they survive that in the movie ?
Either way, damn that is funny

Heh no they didn't. The next scene was the funeral.

And that's just the beginning of the film. Pretty funny spoof of every 'Lethal Weapon' type movie.
