Well, surely there's got to be something Culleny we haven't gone completely overboard on yet. Favourite color, taste in music, interestingly shaped birthmarks?
I've got to say that I'm so enamored of everything they're showing and saying about Inquisition that I'm beginning to believe it could be the best of the series yet....I know it's crazy talk, I've totally drunk the kool aid on this one.
I've never really been in the camp that believes western RPGs should remain fixed in Baldur's Gate territory. I love some IE games to bits and I'm just thrilled that they're having a Renaissance at the moment through kickstarter but I think that Bioware as the big AAA RPG studio has the capacity to drive the genre forward into new territory.
I don't think that I'd say this anywhere else or to any other batch of fans but there are some aspects of table top gaming that I think are particularly ill suited to adaptation to the computer game format. Some of the conventions(maybe even sacred cows) we see in CRPGs, I think are approximations of its table top gaming roots that never translated into the new medium effectively in the first place.
In someways I think the old school fans (which I am absolutely a card carrying member of, I rolled my first pnp character many a decade ago, I love the whole RPG culture, nerds are MY people!) can by their very love and passion for the creations they play be very resistant to change and in someways the evolution of their hobbies. I know I can be very suspicious of things being taken out games, it's like they're messing with my perfectly arranged shoe cupboard or something, you know just BACK OFF!
I really, really want to see where Bioware is going to take us with Inquisition and I want to see how they blend DA2s strengths with DAOs and what they come with. I think I'll like it and I'm going to try like crazy to be OK with different because maybe different can be better!
Anyway, my fever rant is over! TLDR - meh probably don't bother.
