Hmm. I don't think it was limited budget for VA - there was a bigger VA budget for DAO than was spent on the entire filming of Star Wars (okay, that's exaggerating). You can talk to them about it and they do respond with voice-acted responses; it's not that they couldn't afford to have them voice act more detailed guidance, it's that they had them voice-act responses that handed the decision about direction more over to you than previously - which matches what happens in the game-map, with all those locations opening up, and matches what happens in your quest journal, with more quests listed than previously before.

That's the point where you've done your apprenticeship, been dragged through the beginning stages and learned how stuff works, and then are given the responsibility to lead your companions. It's quite typical in game design for things to pan out that way (like after tutorial levels getting new features/weapons/skills/branching pathways/etc).

Embrace the freedom dude, there's nothing to fear but fear itself. And sharks with legs.

Yea you're right when I get home I'll do what I got to do.

But I just don't like it.  It feels empty.  It wouldn't be so bad if from the start the dialogue was bland.

But to go from epic dialogue to just "ok you decide what to do now" sucks.

I was expecting a big song & dance after lothering.  Like a huge meeting around the campfire with all parties contributing their ideas. 

"We should go here.."

"no no we should go here...."

etc...

When I have to make decisions on my own the game feels like all the crappy RPGS out there like oblivion or the witcher.

After you flamed 2 of my favourite games I lost any motivation to answer your question, dunno why. Maybe you should play CoD modern Warfare, there are all decisions made by your officer.

What were your two favorite?

Wow, I even wrote them in bold print and you dont get it. Oblivion and Witcher of course..................
*Facepalm*

You said you wouldn't answer anymore of my questions and you did!!   Hah that's cool though..

That's the spirit!  We need to push the limits of the bioware devs.

I'm curious as to what your definition of 'push the limits' means.  After all, you were the person who made the thread the other day about how you couldn't beat a boss in the game on easy mode.  Apparently they already are pushing your limits.

Let's be real. There are different ways to push someones limit.

I don't mind the devs pushing my creative limits with poetic dialogue and thought provoking conversation.

But if you force me to min max damage, I'll pass.  Maybe when I have more time I'l try the game on normal. That shade fight was WAY too hard for easy mode and it ended up wasting hours of my time.

Either that was intentional and quite funny or unintentional and quite funny. Either way, I'm awarding a LOL.

Reading this, I find it rather entertaining.

I just imagined Ferelden with Gaxe being The Warden.

People need help all over the place, you need allies and fight the blight... but The Warden just can't decide which ally to recruit first. So when he is finally finished deciding what to do next, most problems will have solved themselves... because the Darkspawn have overrun 3/4 of Ferelden.

I mean, if Gaxe was The Warden, then I'd side with Loghain for Ferelden's sake... and oh do I hate Loghain.

It's the same situation Superman is in most of the time... people are yelling for help everywhere, but if you don't decide whom to help...

I can understand the motivation to play an interactive novel... but well, he wants it without the interactivity. That leads to the question: If he wants to be involved, why dump the interactivity? Why not read a book or watch a movie instead? 

And for gameplay reasons, go to the tower to get a certain mage into your group. That makes the rest of the game... oh sorry, interactive movie / novel / whatever "easier". Storywise, yes Redcliffe. Don't make Alistair unhappy.

The exact tone of his post should be put into a voice file and added as in game character.  Then when I click on this npc I hear this dudes post.

*Leave Lothering*

*Leave Camp*

*Encounter Lord Ragadurn On The Road*

Lord Ragadurn: "You must be decisive grey warden... Your idleness may cause the downfall of the people of Fereldan.  What you seek you must find within.  Go now to Redcliffe and heed the words of your fellow Grey Warden".

That would be cool.

But instead I got nothing. I got a lot of great conversation in camp, a couple of real cool battles on the road. But not one voice dialogue after lothering that just helped guide me where to go. Nothing solid or concrete.

Unfortunately, with the large numbers of spoiler posts in this thread, I'm going to be moving it to the spoilers forum, which means your entertainment with Gaxe's trolling will now end because I'm sure he'll find it too difficult to figure out how to register his game to continue to post here.



Sorry guys.

Bwuahahahahaha! Good one Astorax!

I love it )

LOL. That's two LOLs for me in one thread.

He might figure out how to register his game, but only if Alistair tells him at camp.

[I saved Star Wars :D]

That's a shame. I wanted to hear about how he is getting making himself "less demanding and less intelligent." The former is easy, the latter would likely require some sort of evolutionary reroll on his part.

[Muse011]

Don't worry Daveyboy, he made another thread on the non-spoiler forum.

[I saved Star Wars :D]

And it is even better than this one!
