Just for once, I'd like to play a hero without things falling apart within the story itself. To carry on and have more persistency and such. I hope I can do that. Because it's already been done too much with Warden and Hawke. I want them to commit to our characters a little better, instead of finding ways to end it or make it go too far south. It's like they have ADD with their protagonists. It's their chance to commit to that idea here, instead of playing to the crowd that constantly wants something different all the time.
Imagine if a TV show changed the cast every season.
It's a compelling word to live in.. I'd just like to do it with a main character and team more often.
That was the goal from the beginning. I'm not sure why you don't know this. The story is about Thedas during the Dragon Age itself, not the characters we play as.

I do know this. Don't respond to me like I'm stupid. You do that to everyone too much.
I'm just saying it's the one thing that sours me. As much as I like DA. I'm stating my opinion. Not my ignorance.
It has nothing to do with you being stupid, and a lot more with thinking the devs would change the core basis of the franchise. That's more about being delusional than being dumb. It's like asking for Kingdom Hearts to stop being about the all powerful magic that is friendship. It defeats the purpose to even try.

Yes it does. You talk down to everyone.
I'm fine with you disagreeing with me. Even mocking my opinions. Just don't insult my intelligence or act like I'm not as acquainted with the developers/background as you. You do that a lot. Not just with me. As if you're the only goddamn DA fan in the world.

I'm still waiting on the inevitable KH anime to happen ![]()

Lulz. If I thought I were the only DA fan in the world, I wouldn't ask to everyone else who obsesses over it, Eluvianus being the one I've talked to the most that knows more about it than me here. I know a lot about DA, more than most anyway. I have no crazy notion of thinking I know even half of what there is to know about the devs or the characters outside of the games and a few of the novels. What I am, however, is sure. And mocking. Sarcastic. And generally off putting. That doesn't change anything about the point I made, no matter the phrasing. Of course, you could have a fit. Get mad. Angry even. Annoyed is pretty common. I've been told I'm annoying, and I definitely agree. Hate all you want, my point stands. I expressed surprised because it's common knowledge. You knowing before hand just makes it more obvious, tbh, that it's not going to happen.

I hope to God, this never happens. the manga already exists. Too close to even joke.

It's not mocking and sarcastic. I'd actually appreciate a real argument and challenge like that. Instead of simply arguing about different ways to tell stories (and their various merits), you instead just try to say I'm unaware of something. That's not mocking. Your first move seems to be to think people don't know something. It's just condescension. Like you want to negate people's position first, instead of just disagree.
If you don't see it, fine by me. It's not like I have to talk to you everyday. And I don't hate you. I just think you need to know. We could actually have a fun argument or fight about this if you didn't do this.
edit: As for your point, to me it's irrelevant. I want to talk about writing and storytelling in a general sense. Not what the authorities (developers) want. It's not like I'm trying to change them - nor do I have the power to do so. It's only a desire and a general musing on what I prefer in stories. Your "point" about what the people in charge want isn't somethinghI'm unaware of. I'm just more interested in the psychology behind why they even take that direction in the first place. Or is it the medium? Because it's very different compared to what I see in novels and shows. The ground isn't often pulled out from under your feet in these mediums.

Note to self once again, do not make Cassandra angry.
Spoiler
I think it probably hurt a lot more than taser.
Does conscripting the mages pretty much guarantee that she'll be Divine? Also, do you lose approval with her if you ally with them, and one final question, if that decision does end up costing you approval is it still possible to earn that approval back, and romance her?
Spoiler
So, uh...once again, any advice for assuring she gets there? This game is way too long for me to redo it, I'd rather get it right the first time.

I'm well aware that common knowledge is common, Street. That won't stop me from speaking my mind, no matter how condescending you think it is. I'll spat out all information on the subject, until I am satisfied with what is said.

I don't actually care about debating with you or how you feel about my style of debating, or with anyone for that matter. I didn't join BSN to debate, but if I see something I "know"(think) is wrong, I'll speak on it. Something like, "I was thinking this was the game where Dragon Age could stop being Dragon Age," simply took me aback.
As to everything else, don't really care about opinions long enough enough for an extended conversation on it here in the Cass thread.

How is it "wrong"? It's just an opinion. A "wish". To say it's wrong is to say all things should be written a certain way. That there are rules of literature or something.
All I'm saying is what I like. You should do the same. I'm totally fine with you simply hating what I said. Instead of acting like this. You're just being dry and "bringing in the authorities" to stifle conversation. You should learn that sometimes people just like to bullsh*t and have *gasp* preferences from time to time. ![]()
Also if you don't care to engage with anyone on these casual levels, you'll make this place less fun than it needs to be. Beware. You don't want to become David. The ultimate stifler. ![]()
I haven't finish the campaign nor got to the part where you do the ball (or actually, haven't initiated official romance with Cass yet - too busy exploring!). But I will say this, bring Viv, Cass and Varic in one party lol. Because they have a lot of hilarious 3-way party banter instead of the usual two members. This one cracks me up so hard (spoiler below):
