The great thing about people like Einstein is that they understand the limits of their understanding, and are willing to admit when they do not know something. They are never trying to pull the wool over your eyes. ;)

 
Ah. What gave him away? “The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.” ?

Look at all the cliches BioWare's been using since the 90s, you'll see the only thing holding Origins, DA2, and Inquisition together is the characters and gameplay. DA:O may have slightly better characters, but the gameplay was terrible even for it's time. So much worse. I'd rather play DA2. I'd rather play Inquisition.

I take it you're playing on console.

I don't play games for combat really, but DA combat on PC/MKB has been on a downward slide to the point that I dread the thought of picking up Inquisition again to see whatever the final DLC is- though I'll probably do it. Whereas I'll probably replay DAO again at some point. I tried replaying DA2 after Inquisition, to pick up on the lore threads, but that game can DIAF.

That, and most of the science that he wrote lol.  I think Christopher Hitchens had a similar quote as Einstein's.

"The most educated person in the world now has to admit-- I shall not say confess-- that he or she knows less and less but at least knows less and less about more and more."

Fun fact: that usually only applies to the educated ones. The more ignorant people usually think they've got it all figured out.

 

Anyway, enough of this. The thread has been overly civil and cultivated for a suspiciously long time. That just doesn't feel right.

AW's campaign was decent tho

I'm actually rather fond of the Black Ops campaigns myself. The first Black Ops in particular, though I do really like the branching segments of Black Ops 2. Tbh, BO2 could have just been an original game and not a sequel, considering the only things that return are the old characters. The plot to BO2 doesn't have the slightest thing to do with the first.

 

Of course, the Zombies modes are always good fun, and I'm glad that they're still good in Advanced Warfare. Zombies is really the only reason I even bother with Call of Duty anymore. I detest the multiplayer on the Infinity Ward games, and Exo's ruined AW MP for me. BO1 and BO2 had fun multiplayer if you were playing with a group of friends, and I hope Treyarch continues the trend with BO3.

True enough, though there are times someone might bring up a point that I hadn't thought of or thought of in the same way and that might change my perception. But at the end of the day if I'm having fun, **** everyone else and there opinions. 

Yes! I'm quite the open-minded person, so if someone says something that really makes sense or I haven't thought about it in that way, then that would usually make me think about my perception.

Question, how many of the regular posters are girls, aside from myself,siha,and boom?

This might not be relevant anymore but... I'm a girl who loves to ship Inquisitor Trevelyan with Cassandra :D Hi. I do not post much since many of the things I would say have already been said, so I'm just an observer who enjoys liking comments. Since I am commenting now I guess I'll portray a little bit and say that I am a big fan of DAO but I can recognize its faults. I did not enjoyed DA2 but there were thinks I did like in the game and I am one of the people who appreciated the more subtle dialogues not because I enjoy blank protagonist but because I really love creating characters. For a more define protagonist I play other games but not in my DA :) Sooo... that's about it. To sum up, I exist and and I love Cassandra. Back to stealth mode :P

Often times "educated" and "ignorant" are hardly things that describe different people. Depends on what exactly they're educated on.

DA I has the best combat in the series if you ask me. Though, it's also probably the game I'm least likely to replay a year after its release. Origins is honestly timeless. Could always come back to that.

As for COD, I used to play the multiplayer hardcore all the time along with halo. Stopped touching the series though after MW3. Tired of buying the same game. And the new ones just look ridiculous. Ship has sailed.

*hides behind you and peeks out over shoulder* Is it safe?  :P

 

Any who, I actually played DA2 first and I loved it but then decided I should play DAO. It quickly surpassed DA2 in my books, though admittedly, the combat makes me cringe.

Honestly, I just glitch the game now to get max levels so I can run through the combat XD. I liked it back in the day but now after....

 

..... I have no idea how many times I played through it. I'll guess.... I don't even wanna guess because it's an embarrassing number. Anyway, I've played through it way too many times to be bothered doing it "legitly" now. And I don't play it for combat anyway. Besides, blocking everyone's arrows and instant finishering darkspawn after darkspawn is teh hilarious :lol:

Don't make too much sense.

I think DAI's combat is the best as well, though I like playing as a mage the most in DA2. The elemental tree was a lot of fun for me, since I always gravitate towards a fire or frost mage in most games when I play a mage. Having fire and frost as separate trees feels a bit unnecessary to me, and I'm not too keen on the pruning of most DPS abilities from the frost tree. It's too much CC and utility for my tastes, I like to make things go boom. 2H warrior is leagues better in DAI than in DA2.

 

Origins combat is so painfully boring for me. It's too slow for me to call Origins an action-RPG, but it's not turn-based and can be played in real-time. I've tried the "pause and issue orders ever few actions" way of playing, and I don't like it for DAO at all. Same as when I tried it with KotOR. It works better for isometric cRPGs, IMO, where you have a view of the entire battlefield and can play it like a miniature RTS. Not to mention that Origins combat is so passive. Literally you can click on an enemy to initiate combat and your allies will kill everything for you. The game plays itself, assuming you don't have turned up to the max difficulty. Just keep Taunt and War Cry on auto-cast for Alistair (or whoever you have tanking) and keep Tempest and Firestorm handy on Morrigan (or whoever is your party's mage) and it's gg.

I'm not sure how many times I've played DAO......... enough to be able to do the fade quest in a very short amount of time but I hate it!

 

Still run around in a figure 8 when trying to kill the Arishok, though. *sigh*

A lot of "educated" people I've met say the most ignorant things or think their education puts them above others, and it oftentimes makes them closeminded. In other words, where Einstein sees what he still doesn't know, a lot of people that value what they learned so much in college sees the world within that snowglobe, the scope of what they know alone because they think its enough. I.E., education often leads to arrogance.

 

 

To be honest, with the right build, DAO still basically plays itself on nightmare. The ai doesn't get any smarter and the system is easy to abuse. Harder than Inquisition though by far, but not because it's better. Just more frustrating and slow.

 

I mainly played as a mage and rogue in DA 2. DAI is the only one of the three so far that I didn't much care for mages or rogues. The armor has a large part to do with this honestly.

After the first playthrough I just installed a mod that skipped that thing. It was an absolute godsend for me.

I detest the Fade in DAO (and DA2, for that matter). I hate the visual filter that everything has, it's all ever so slightly blurry like you have astigmatism and you're trying to look at something far away (coming from someone who has astigmatism, that s**t p***es me off enough whenever I don't have my glasses on). I liked the idea of the transformations, but not so much the execution. The slow casting animations for each form coupled with each segment having puzzles requiring multiple forms meant that you'd be there a long time if you wanted to collect everything.

 

And yes, Ben 10 was pretty great. The live-action movie adaptation was terrible garbage, but the cartoons were pretty cool.

I didn't mind it, though if it was less blurry maybe...

 

DAI has the best fade

I liked the Fade in DAO a lot. My major problem was just how I lost all orientation after a while (which, yes, I don't have too much of to begin with :lol:). And I might not want to play it over and over again, but those 3 times I did play through DAO I enjoyed it. I've never played any game more often than 4 times, as far as I can think of now.
