I am not against multiplayer games, but DOA was built to be a good movie/book, except you get to live it and influence the story. It is an immersive experience and an MMO is a completely different beast. Co-op would work, but I feel it would hurt the overall experience as another human is not as flushed out as an NPC. You  can try to argue, but NPCs only exist in the fantasy world, humans have lives outside of the game - most of us anyways.

If you are so desperate for human interaction, put down the game and go to a bar... or coffee shop... or even a strip club... heck go to vegas.

Can we please stop suggesting things that make zero since on multiple threads, I hate combing through all the MMO and combat log threads.

I have to comment on the bolded bit.

You're seriously saying that an AI character in a game is more fleshed out than an actual human?

Irony is that you've made yet another MMO thread.

Real people tend to be flaky and fake online. Sad but true :(

I don't like MMOs lately after 2 years playing WoW I got burnt out. It's hard to immerse yourself in something when Captain Underpants comes flying out of nowhere screaming about buying gold online...

True :P Though I don't mind MMO's I'd prefer if they made the game into a movie or something.

Valid points, I just wanted a subject line against making it an MMO because I see so many asking for it.



Obviously a real person has more to them than an NPC... in the real world, in some fantasy world not so much.



And yeah darkest, I've read that thread, not to repeat myself, but I wanted a thread that starts 'F the MMO please'

So let me get this straight... you're moaning about them NOT creating something that they haven't made or even hinted that they might consider making?

I don't know about you, I'd quite like a MMO about DA, but it'd have to use player interactions with the factions to define how powerful those factions become in relation to each other... oh never mind. See, nobody wants to make my MMO :) heh.

Heres a waffle, you deserve it.

Yes, and to be quite honest... I am at the office and haven't done a lick of work and am rapidly running out of ways to procrastinate so I thank you for indulging me

Companies like MMO, because they can cut out things like a story or voice acting, and let the players do the work. And on top they can charge continually. And the success shows there are many easily influenced people who enjoy themselves being ripped off. So maybe BioWare should develop a DA MMO after all, to finance the making of another real game in the setting? Worth a thought, though if successful, they'd probably give up on single player storytelling altogether.

I'm not so sure that's praise and back-patting going on in there, despite the title. Image IPB

To be honest, it is the negativity that abounds from trollers who are out and about to do nothing but stire up the pot and get everyone pissed off, that I have NO desire to ever play an MMO! Proof, just look at all of threads populated around this software and you'll see what I mean. When you get such huge age disparities, which I would think are some where near 13 to 60, you get what you get. When you get people with NO life experience together with people who have lived life to its fullest, you get what you see. NO, count me out of the MMO scene, I'll stick with games where the stress I create, is the stress "I" create! ~~~~ Gunny

I think it's a realistic prospect to find 1-3 like minded people and play co-op togther while building a good roleplaying atmosphere. Make it an MMO, and you've got no chance.

I once started a game of NWN without realising that I was online... until I was partway through the prologue and met "Long Duk Dong the Big Dick Monk' wandering around in my game. That is why I don't play MMOs.

When I play a game I would rather have dialogue with a well scripted NPC than a 14 year old talking about how is teachers were mean to him today. Same reasons why reading fantasy books is much more rewarding that going LARPing.
