TW2 had paraphrases where you would pick something like "Very funny" and Geralt said "**** off."

What?  I don't remember that. 


It's the very first dialogue you get during the interrogation in the prologue.

Geralt's hands are cuffed behind his back, and Vernon offers him a handshake. 

One of the options in response is, "Very funny."  I assumed when I picked it that Geralt would make some amused comment about the state of his hands.  But he started with, "**** you" and went into a long statement which neither paraphrase attempted to cover.

Yrkoon wrote...

The Paraphrases in the dialogue choices in TW2 were  invariably straight forward. 


Well, it's hard to say otherwise if - when given an explicit example of a questionable paraphrase - you basically deny the example exists. 

The issue is BioWare learned that the paraphrases alone do not give enough information and that's why we got the tone icons in Dragon Age II.  That some paraphrases + icons are still misleading isn't the point, they're less misleading because of the additional information*.  TW2 lacks these, and the effectiveness of quite a few of the paraphrases - at least the ones I saw - was about on par with Mass Effect 1.

*Except when you choose between options like three different paraphrases with the squiggly arrows or something.

what truth are you talking about? Did they actually not make a video game?


Of course they made a video game, but like a great deal of advertising some gamers feel that they made claims that were not realize.




Not their fault you didn't like their product.

No, seriously, its not.


What are you talking about ! I like DA2. You really have not been
reading my posts. I simply said their advertising was not as forth coming
as it could have been.

The drugs were too innovative for the patient.

Are you referring to the analogy or Serpieri Nei's avatar?  Or both?

Why do people change another person quotes - does it make them feel special? - cause it just makes them look like idiots.

It's just another way of saying,

"Actually, it's more like a tasteless analogy."

This is the internet, you understand.

Well, pardon me for not laughing at comparing a game that you didn't enjoy to someone dying due to a doctor's MALPRACTICE. That's not funny, it's juvenile, crude and utterly tasteless.

And yet you, who constantly exaggerates and act like DAII is the Anti-Christ among games, tell ME to grow up?:innocent:

Malpractice and death are nothing to LAUGH about. Maybe whoever came up with this crude nonsense should just take a step back from the game and play something he/she enjoys. :bandit:

There's a really devoted core of fans for it, but any time a more casual gamer (or reviewer) brings up problems with the difficulty curve, the combat, the tutorials, the controls, the inventory, the potion system, the voice acting, the backtracking, the crafting system, the bugs, the performance issues, etc. they are often told that they are just bad at the game. Or that such things never happened to the devoted fan (which I guess could be true, but I know I ran into a ton of really annoying issues with the game).

Yes, because that's exactly what Edhriano was shooting for.

Seriously, grow up and leave your mellodrama at home. And feel free to point out where I called it the Anti Christ? Exaggerate Much? Be Careful what you say or you may end up getting it thrown back your way.

I find it hard to take the instruction "grow up" from someone with a nipple-armored, purple haired avatar seriously.

Maybe I need to grow up more or something.

I don't care what Edhriano was shooting for. The content is there. It's like gamers joking about "totally raping" antagonist XYZ in any game. Tasteless. If that's mellodrama (Sic!), I can live with that.

"Act like", not "called it". You've been bashing this game non stop for months. Not just criticizing it, but bashing it repeatedly. So I doubt it's an exaggeration.

No. I am not a drama major. I simply don't like obnoxious, tasteless "jokes" involving death and a doctor defending malpractice/murder the way a dev defends a GAME!

I responded to it the moment I saw it.
