Please keep spoilers from books behind a spoiler tab. There are still people who haven't read Asunder yet.

Although it can be reversed...they are never the "same".

Spoiler

Where did you get that info from? The one case we saw in Asunder was pretty much the same person, only with overwhelming emotions. If he hadn't died a few weeks of being freed I'm sure he'd eventually become used to his emotions again. Remember, he'd been tranquil for years before Rhys, Wynne and the others brought him back. IF Morrigan becomes tranquil in the game, we'd probably be able to save her within at least a year  (granted that our inquisitor learns how to reverse the process). The effects that Morrigan would have compared to what'shisname from Asunder would be smaller, and she'd probably recover faster than he did, or would have, given the chance.

Killing off popular characters just because, like legion in ME3 doesn't induce sadness just annoyance.

True, but a major character can die for a reason, and not just for drama.

Just because you think they did it "just because" doesn't make it so.

sorry mark, what is " Cuz " ?

no mounted combat because 1. Not what the game is about. 2. They are a huge feature and we wanted to approach them carefully 3.

But in the absence of any other information, a personal interpretation is the best we have. I can't see the writers sitting down to explain why they did everything, and so any standpoint - including the one that defends it as excellent storytelling - has to be based on assumptions.

 

The character deaths might have been done with the best of intentions, but we really have no idea. Short of bugging the writer's pit, how can anyone know why they do certain things?

 

(We *do* have a scrawled note from Mac that even asks himself why Shepard had to die, which hardly inspires confidence that it was a well thought-out plot device.)

Nevermind, I thought you messed up the copy/paste.

Except they hadn't. And the case in point was

Legion's death. And we already knew you couldn't just copypaste a full-fledged AI.

I have a request. Could we keep the Mass Effect spoilers in spoiler tags? For those who haven't played the Mass Effect games yet. I mean, this is a Dragon Age forum. I myself have only played Mass Effect 2, and I am getting the full trilogy for my birthday in 11 days. I come here for Dragon Age Twitter-news, not Mass Effect-spoilers, and I'd very much appreciate it if those spoilers were kept in spoiler tags, which is what those things are here for in the first place. Thank you

Don't want to derail the thread but,

 

Spoiler

We don't know if he would be back to normal. That is an assumption on your part. At the very least after such a traumatic experience as it was described becoming "un-tranquil" no one just becomes their old self after that. Also most tranquil's are made as such early in life, before they have really developed their powers. With Morrigan being older and presumably quite powerful (even "special"), we don't know what effect it would have on her. 

 

Granted this whole discussion is kind of pointless as we have not even a hint of a reason that they intend on making Morrigan tranquil.

[Maraas]

Just because you believe it makes sense does not make it so.

It's not about what I believe, it's about the piece of game's lore. It was there from day one.

If you believe in that interpretation, yes. Again: we don't know what the writers were thinking.

But we don't have to know what they were thinking. We can just look at the game.

Spoiler

Legion says it explicitly: "Copying code is insufficient." That doesn't leave a lot of room for interpretation.

Considering this is their first game with mounts (are there moving mounts in SWTOR other tham the fliers?) and in a new engine...I'm glad they didn't try to also add in combat....personally I'd rather have the resources that would go into the development of mounted combat go into story, environments, characters, and quests.

Although a one-off story appropriate moment of mounted combat would be cool.

[Kallimachus]

Regarding the sadness inducing writing by Mr, Weekes - that really doesn't have to do with death at all. Of any character. There are many ways to write a heartbreaking plot, without involving death.

 

For example, Donna's departure at the end of the 4th series of (the new) Doctor Who was one of the saddest TV moments I have ever seen. Even though she's alive and (arguably) well, and she's even reasonably happy - the loss she suffers (especially as she's unaware of it), is heartbreaking.

I'm trying to think of heartbreaking moments that gave me feels in the ME and DA games that didn't invlove death.

 

The only thing that possibly comes to mind for me is the Dalish Warden walking away from her clan. (I played her as not wanting to leave no matter what until Duncan pretty much said something about being hauled away like a sack of potatoes or somesuch)

 

Otherwise the ones I can think of all invloved someone dying (and those usually illicit big sloppy tears from me. Especially a renegade shep and mordin....Noooo!!!! Where's the tissues??)

Again. I have played me 3 but please respect those who have not. Put up spoiler tags if it is not basic trailer stuff from mass effect series.

Eric Fagnan@EricFagnan: Dragon Age’s visuals are really jaw dropping. Saw another level today that is simply beautiful.
