Errationatus, I have to say that I have just read your last post and it has made my day! An excellent summary lol.

[KilrB]

I think I can help sum up the last 600-odd pages.

 

The Very Beginning:  this game is bollocks and bollixed on the PC!!  Why it suck so hard?  Whatchagonnadoabootit?

Response: not much.  It's nae broke, yer all crybabies and whiny'tards, and if it's 'broke' it's your fault for not owning a console.  Nyah.  We don' owe none of you's nuffin'.  Bugger off. GOTY!  GOTY!

 

Counter response:  liars, gypsies, tramps and thieves!  Oh, how cross we're gradually becoming!

 

Five hundred pages follow of why that, this and the other thing sucks and sucks hyperhard. Several very good and well-written posts with highly amusing and pointed analogies float among them.  Other people do okay, too.

 

Further responses of "look we fixed/broke all these things sorta a bit".  Rope fans to help, fix little, add pointlessness, not fans' fault.

 

Five pages of Skyrim gooood, much betterer than DA: Inquisucky.  One amazingly handsome, frighteningly intelligent and generally all 'round ever-so-slightly delusional dissenter dissents, slightly passive-aggressive very light dogpile, dissenter legit sees error of ways, may be be remembering it slightly different than what happened because he only has one illusion left and would like to keep it thanksverymuch!

 

*Cough*  Sorry.  Digression. This happens a lot.

 

There are very smart people here and you would do well to heed them when they make suggestions or offer help.  The rest of us are here for ethical and moral support - and every once in a while, a smug git or two will drive by trying to stir things up with the very tired refrain of "well, it werks fer me, stupidfaces, wot's yer problem, d'uhlolcontrollerhyukhyuk" because reasons.

 

Sartoz is a slightly gruff but (possibly a lost romance tinge of bitterness there) straightforward keep-y'all-on-an-even-keel kinda person.

Bethgael is an Aussie Redhead that likes strange beer and Australia and has yet to be killed by any of the two hundred and fifty million poisonous things that inhabit that great country.  They will likely find a species of predatory rock soon that may just get her.  Too soon to tell. 

DisturbedJim is disturbed but lucid.

Amplitudelol is definitely Amplitudelol.

Dubya75 is a very angry young man, possibly suffering DAIPTSD, or just angry, which seems to serve him, so no worries. 

DarkAmarath is a hopeful and studious person who is trying very hard to get this game working and maintain a positive outlook toward it in this sea of cynicism.  Unfortunately, no one is quite sure how seriously to take him, which is a shame because hope is kinda needed around here.

Mr. Griffonclaw is...  well....  himself.  He's okay with that at last report.  Frankly, I think he's a little too happy if you ask me. 

Jadebaby is thoughtful and sightly infuriating with correctness. 

Elhanan is a massive ray of indefatigable sunshine that keeps the dream alive. 

KilrB is a hardened cynic, which is a massive point in his favour and likely good therapy for any issues he might have. No aspersions cast, just sayin'.

Invisibleman is nowhere to be seen.  Only he may know for sure.

LunaFancy and Dinkledorf are likely here because hey, why not?  Diversity is good and we need local colour.  Bog knows I suck at it.

 

I provide walls of text and occasional colour commentary. I'm the Jim Ross of PCCC - "it's a slobberknocker!  Oh, Lord!  He's broke in half! RKO outta nowheres!", that sort of thing.  I'm probably lying, though.

 

Anyone I may have missed have their unique personalities and reasons for attending this particular madhouse.  I pity them because ya kinda gotta.

 

Overall, we gripe, the devs ignore 90% of it, the general consensus is that the thread doesn't get closed because they fear migration and the last patch added half-arsed stuff vaguely along the lines of what was requested and removed most of the exploits and amulets of power which weren't.  Occasionally a mod wanders in to ban people for language or grammar usage the mod doesn't understand.

 

You should be pretty much caught up now.

 

If you've made it this far, I'm sorry.  You probably belong here now. 

 

Dead on target, as usual.

 

You sir, are a wordsmith and literary marksman of unusual talent.

[Jackal19851111]

I wonder what category I fall under...

 

 

Let's go with DAIPTSD. Yes....definitely that.

You are too kind.  Thanks.

[Errationatus]

Ah, Jackal19851111, I missed you initially.  Sorry.

 

Where you fit.... 

 

Uhm....

 

...we're watching you. 

 

No reason, just cause...  maybe you do tricks or sing atonally on the holidays to irritate your relatives or wear oddly-shaped socks.  Perhaps you do strange poetry and are the only person capable of rhyming 'orange'.  Not impossible.  Just not committing myself to anything yet.

[Errationatus]

Errationatus, I have to say that I have just read your last post and it has made my day! An excellent summary lol.

 

Glad you liked it.  Just a stab of humour to hopefully lighten the day a tad.  If I'm gonna go off-topic, I'm gonna try and be entertaining before I get banned for... whatever.

[katokires]

Me next user name after my next ban is going to be DAIPTSD, it can't get any better than that

I think I can help sum up the last 600-odd pages.

And this is why I read/follow updates on this thread when I am working.

On top of everything else, it turns out you're a freakin' "Nostradamus" too:

Doesn't that just bloody figure.  The girl's gonna need a bigger boot.

[Jadebaby]

We're funny like that.

 

Also, a shandy is beer + lemonade (for the US: the "soda" kind not the lemon juice + sugar kind). Double

(Jadebaby: that's for the totally uncalled-for flashback to writing Causality papers for my undergrad stuffs )

 

 

I'm very aware of what Shandy is, not only am I Australian too but I've also been a barmaid in my time. Never understood the allure of such a strange combination myself but props to the people that do! Variety is the spice of life after all.

 

Should probably put some relevance to the topic in this post so...

 

Direct x, key-mapping, tac-cam.

 

That should suffice.

[Dinkledorf]

I'm a whiskey lad, born and bred.  Imagine...  a Canadian that doesn't drink beer....

I can imagine that seeing as I am one also.

[Amplitudelol]

 

The reality would rather be closer to this from my point of view:

 

Toxicity has just blew off the roof!

[Drantwo]

It is quite evident that BioWare is not the company that it was once before. There was passion and interest. Much of that is now lost..for few now live to remember it. Now they are just a shadow of their former glory. Just compare Origins and DA:I..or ME:3 to ME:2. 

 

I had to go through many pains and frustrations to get this game because of the fucked up LGBT laws in my country.....which ended up in even more frustrations as I was having a battle on two fronts. First battle with the enemies in games...the other with my keyboard and mouse. Abusing the attack button with sporadic special attacks...oh god the button mashing. Why am I playing an FPS? This game is so dumbed down..that it's crazy...probably because EA wanted to appeal to the consoles.. Shame on you BioWare for forgetting your old core fans. Then again I guess it is a trend followed by every EA bought studio. 

 

I have been on this topic since page 159. I have read some great posts and some bad ones. I have seen how the mood towards the game has changed. It was anger back then. Now, basically everyone has given up, except maybe handful of people such as Dubya, Errationatus, Jackal, Brogan, Jim,Sartoz, KilrB and the Aussie Redhead, who, from the deepest part of their disappointed and saddened heart, still hope for the betterment of this mess of a game. I visit this page everyday single day hoping that things will get better. Why? Because I love Dragon Age franchise. I simply refuse to give up on this wailing franchise so that EA destroys it as it has been doing since decades. But after seeing no response from BioWare....I do not trust to hope anymore...

 

[ShinsFortress]

All this is well and good, jolly amusing, etc etc etc.  But it doesn't change the bottom line.  The not happy people are still not happy.  Bioware are still slow and infrequent with updates.

Did Patch 8 has been launched yet?

 

it has been released to solve some odd boots design or to correct the missdoings of patch 7, i think ...

[bdipauly]

So, I come back here after a couple of weeks... Now am I right in thinking that they STILL do not have the official patch 5 notes up? It still says beta! Have they literally just given up?

[Captain Wiseass]

You are incorrect. Patch 5 was released on the 2nd, and the notes were put in the Patch Notes thread.

[Bethgael]

"Funny", she sez.  Not exactly the word I would have chosen.

 

Better Red than Dead, as I've always said.

 

Shandy... ewww.  Not a beer drinker myself, can't stand the stuff. Sparkling beer...  can't see that as an improvement.    

 

I'm a whiskey lad, born and bred.  Imagine...  a Canadian that doesn't drink beer....

 

Oh, I'm with you, totally.

 

I'm an Australian who can't stand beer. Oh, except Guinness. Okay, I hate pale ale.

 

Bourbon drinker, if I must. Or cider.

 

ETA: And: HA: I just read your last post, Errie. Funny!

 

Yeah, except I can't stand beer. But that's okay, I call Perry and Cider "beer", so it works. "Strange beer".

Oh, for anyone who doesn't know, something we discovered while talking other-things-in beta, something that isn't under NDA:

 

A use for the tac cam!!! With props to Dark Amaranth, who discovered this.

 

You know that ring in Sahrnia? The one that's almost impossible to interact with, therefore making it difficult to pick up the "Mama's Ring" quest? Go into tac cam and interact that way.

 

I love Dark Amaranth. I want to be Dark Amaranth when I grow up. I am serious.

Okay, but I get to be you then. You can come feed all the critters, train the wolfdogs, muck out the rabbit barn, clean fish, rabbits and deer. Make sausage, corned venison, bake, mow the lawn, tend the garden and, beta test 4 games, play 12 all while maintaining 4 computers, 2 iPhones, 2 android phones, a windows phone, 6 iPods and 3 iPads. Oh and don't forget you promised the grand kids you'd buy DAI for them and, pay a month of Rift for each, after you take them all (that's 6 of them) to the Mall Saturday and, fishing at the lake Sunday.

 

Then there is that truck driver that is my partner, but he works 14 hrs a day, so he's dog tired when he does manage to get home so, you have to tend to his needs as well and, clean the truck.

 

Somewhere in there you might find a couple of hours to sleep, assuming you don't have my toothache that keeps you up all night for 3-4 days straight.

 

Hope you like growing up to be me. LOL.

[TobyJake]

As soon as Patch 23 hits, it will be well to remember how far the mighty have fallen.

I went back and played Neverwinter Diamond just to get away from Inquisition. I played it once before, years ago.

OMG! You have to think! Plan, build a toon and pick companions carefully! Then you have to assign your abilities and skills.

Then you die! ha ha.

Interesting names in the credits too!

 

It was designed with Win XP in mind, but the only thing I miss is having a windowed fullscreen mode

I can't help but feel that if Bioware had actually remembered why people like Dragon Age Origins so much then this thread wouldn't have happened, or would have at the very least have been far shorter.

I swear at times that they seem embarrassed by Origins.

Origins is one of their best games, next after Baldur's Gate II. Of course I think most every Bioware game is great, but those two in particular I love. Mainly because of the engaging story and quests, music, characters and just good ol' RPG depth

 

Edit: And PC controls, obviously.

Edit2: And menus like the inventory screen. And... yeah, lot of stuff
