Okay I checked the thread out. The usual DA2 bashing ("the game was sh!t but ofc the romance lovers still loved it, what losers, haha") ... plus the implication that romance lovers are brainless twits who button mash and would buy a sh!te game just because it has ooey gooey romance in it. I mean as if I would buy a Fenris romance-focused DLC where it's nothing but Hawke and Fenris going on a cute date together and doing cute date thins.

I mean really I would not waste my money on that.

Really >.>

Nope. Me either. Never. Not one cent...

I probably would to be honest, it would have to have a lot more in it, but look at the Citadel DLC, that was fun because it had all of our followers around.

Thank you R2 and Danny! I might have to do a tipsy Livestream this week, just for the giggles. I always tend to be gifted a crap ton of booze for my birthday since I turned 21...not quite sure what my friends are trying to tell me.

[Jinx]

Happy early birthday!! =D....Hope i don't miss this live-stream.

[Narcia_]

Happy early birthday, Nikki!!   Pretend there's no wand, it's a party hat, I say.

And for today, how about a merry un-birthday to most (if not) everyone else.

Why, today is MY unbirthday, too!

(sorry, couldn't resist! )

edit: Of course... now I have the song stuck in my head as well... LOL

I woulda said sumthing in that thread, but I don't feel like arguing abt. it.

Generally, I'll only go back an forth w/sumone for abt 2 posts. Maaybe 3. After that, I'm just like, "Well, you know, hey, whatever." After that I find it all to be rather redundant.

Nobody ever changes their mind. All you can ever do is make your point the best you can...annnd...let it go.

Yeah lol I didn't even feel like doing that though, because really as you said what's the point? When the guy who normally makes the most sense is calling it a virtual escort service I gotta just leave it alone lol.

It really ticked me off though that you're suddenly one of the weirdos because you enjoy the romances. I ask as much about the non-romanceable characters as I do the romanceable ones so I now suddenly just want the game solely about the romance? Uh no.

Exactly, Danny. No one should have to feel bad about liking any aspect of the game.

What's funny is, watching that first video on videogame tropes by Anita Sarkeesian, it's about the overuse of the damsel in distress trope in videogames. So... in some sense, all videogames have had romances, they just didn't get as much on-screen time.

It's definetily in every game it's just most of the time it's barely noticeable to be important and is just there to make it a bit like a movie. It makes BioWare games a bit different which really can be what makes or breaks a game.

Sometimes I wish I just didn't know about forums, but then I'd never have met you guys and that makes all the pain worth it lol

 Hey R2 have you ever thought about writing a fanfic about Cassandra like "The Coming Storm" fanfic you wrote that was filled with suspence, great characterization and to me feels like it fits perfectly in the Dragon Age universe? /end promotion:D

Aw, Danny, you're so sweet! Hmm, I have a story in which Cassandra features right now... but she's only a small part, a puppet master behind the scenes. I think I still haven't quite wrapped my brain around who she is supposed to be in 9:40, and what she would be doing. You have a story in mind??

That Matt Smith gif just made my morning (sad Doctor Who fan) :happy:! And Happy Birthday for tomorrow Nikki.

Those romance threads keep coming up. My thoughts to:crying: players are if you don't like them don't do them (they are easy to avoid). I personally love them, they add to the story and game (it's nice to have a break from all that combat) and I am a soppy old thing! 

[LolaLei]

Hehehe, that gif!

Also, happy early birthday Nikki!

Here's a post in reply to people ****ing about the lack of news from Allan Schumacher in the DA3 twitter thread: So it kinda sounds like

"There are a variety of reasons as to why, though they are probably more mundane (and as a result possibly less understandable) than conspiracy theories would lend people to believe. 

I'd love to blab on about some of the new developments that have come down the pipe for things we want to do and some stuff that I'm like "Oh man I'd love to share this news with the forums."  I can't right now, but hopefully we can sooner rather than later as I'm itching to start talking about the game in more detail myself."


From his post I kinda got the impression that they've been implementing some new ideas that they've recently brainstormed. Perhaps that's why we haven't got any news yet, because they don't want to show us anything until these new "developments" are in working order and they can give us in-game examples to avoid the forums and gaming websites exploding with false or ridiculous claims.

I was thinking about these non-playable background in DA3 and I think it would be kinda cool if they had a "3 stages of life" option (kinda like Mass Effect was, but a bit more detailed). As with the DA:O origins certain background options would be closed off to you depending on what you choose. for example, a mage born into a noble family that handed you to the circle still has a good relationship with his/her family because they had the money and status to gain access to see him/her regularly, where as a poor family background would not.

Something I do wonder, is how a protagonist would get pulled into this Inquisition thing (if that's what we become). I mean, surely a pro-freedom mage would be more interest in keeping up with the mage rebellion, than running around doing Inquisitory things? It makes me wonder if the mage/templar rebellion will fall by the wayside the minute this "big bad" hits, so everyone has to pull together.

Bah, I dunno. I can't work it out.

LOL I don't really understand the ME background reference to stages of life, but it would be cool to see the ramifications of certain background choices. I also continue to be baffled about the "goodness" of my PC who becomes an Inquisitor. I'm sure they'll wow us, tho!

I seem to recall one of the devs saying that the Mage / Templar  thing will only be a part of the over all story line.... although now I can't find the source to quote it.

I like the idea of the "life stages" you mentioned though. Different 'origins' should have an effect on the overall story. Someone from the gutter would probably have a very different outlook on matters than the privileged.

Yeah, DG has said that a few times recently, but it's also "a ball in the air" they have to deal with. So it sounds like it it'll be in there, but indeed, not the main thing. I'm still rooting for big bad/Veil tear/biggest inter-dimensional cross-rip since the Tunguska Blast of 1908.

Hopefully they'll give us examples/ details about how the protagonist will be pulled into the Inquisition, especially if we're going to be given background.

Makes me wonder if the background options will be limited to fit with us joining without it seeming ridiculous.

LOL Lola, this reminds me of that Mary Kirby quip:

The Inquisition is a sufficiently critical part of the plot that we named the entire game after it. You can probably assume that your relationship to it will factor significantly into the story. The start of the game will help you to establish how and why you are involved in the plot, yes.

*snort!* That's hilarious, right there.

I concur. I want to see a Veil tear in the worst way. And I want the Fade to be totally twisted and I want to have a few points where it melts into Thedes so you don't know if what you're seeing is real or not. (I want, I want, I want... I sound like my kid. lol) How cool would it be to be trotting along, having a discussion with one of your companions and then they suddenly try to eat you? lol

See, if it wasn't for that survey leak then I would've assumed that the Inquisition would be the rebelled Templars. I think we'll definitely be the Inquisitor though, since the concept art of the protagonist in the survey is exactly the same as the ones we've seen from The World of Thedas previews.
