Weren't expecting that, were you.

 

 

I'm more excited about the girl.

 

Anyway. Yes, the font! I do typography. You are killing my eyes with that nasty font!

...to what do you refer?  I still have so much information overload.  Though no I did not expect how much I am falling in love with Danny.     Not that I am attracted into her but her bad arse and liberty minded out look is making her...kinda hawt.

 

And things might be a bit mixed up in my head too.  I watched 3.10 over 2 days, and then started 4.1...and have not finished it yet.

I'm really intrigued by the Witcher series right now... but in a slightly weird turn of events one of the things that might hold me back is the lack of a female protag.  I really want more female protag games because.... they're awesome.

 

In other news, I have been playing Drinkquisition for real.  Hakkon plus half a bottle of alk.  Wicked.

 

 

Honestly, RF - it's not bothered me at all that I've played as Geralt he's not the Inquisitor - I get that, but I'm also very bad at role-playing so I wonder if that might have something to do with why I'm enjoying it so much.  Really I feel a little bad as this is DQ, and I'm pretty passionate about that too.  I just want to share what I'm enjoying with friends, but yeah this is DQ after all and quite probably out of place.  I don't want to compare games but experiences with me fellows.  *Drinks sadly*

What's wrong with the font? It's readable, it suits the image.

Oh, sorry!  I didn't know...

Compare all the things.  And Witcher 3 has its strengths and so does DA.

Yeah, I don't want to compare games either, which is why I haven't, but as I'm playing, the list is growing. All in my head of course, I'm not going to make a new thread about how The Witcher 3 is better because this, this and this.

Can't we just say the Witcher does this and this and this better and DA I does this and this and this better and maybe the two can learn from one another?

Dear Lady Lustre, you have nothing to feel bad about.  Yes, this is indeed DQ, where friends gather to drink and share their day, their passions, their frustrations.  Drink and regale of The Witcher to your heart's content!     Just don't say Bioware needs to do blah blah Witcher or I'll cut y... oh, *cough* sorry!  *brohug*

Maybe, word "different" would be more appropriate than "better"? Comparing an action-RPG and a party-RPG seems pointless. 

 

Edit. I miss the dialogue wheel.

Action-party-RPG....but point well taken.

*drinks* *sigh* Well its my birthday, I am 25 years old, actually a pretty good day so far work was pretty good for once....but got a message from my Dad's girlfriend saying that he want to do something with me. :/  Only trouble is...well I don't exactly get along with him much these days.  Haven't in a while.  And now this just reminds me of all that so I am depressed and just wondering what to do. *drinks*  I know this place is usually for fun and stuff and I really hate getting too personal with everyone, but...not exactly sure what I should do and need some group to unload on if nothing else.  

 

Don't know if this is still relevant, but if I can make you do anything, DO try to set things right with your father.

 

It may seem irrelevant to you, and you might think stuff like "I decide who's important to me and 'father' is just a title he automatically got" and whatnot, but trust me on this: You will regret this one day. If only because society will never let you forget that he was your father, or you have it inscripted in your brain code, but it's there. It's the kind of thing that you just "get" when you get older but never believed as a child/teenager/young adult, so trust me on this one.

 

And have a wonderful birthday, friend!

You can talk about anything you like.

 

You just may not get an equally knowledgable answer, cause the series just doesn't work for me, but it also always makes me happy when other people are. I'm like a solar collector for positivity, and consider it the most powerful trait the big pen & paper nerd in the sky rolled for me.

[LightningPoodle]

Grrr. No way for me to complete this quest now. The brother died so the quest fails. I hate fails. Damn! It's so hard to keep him alive. One hit and he's out.

 

... *sigh*

 

Screw it. Tried for the 5th time in a row now, it's not happening. Moving on.

[Lynroy: Final Edition]

Er... just did a search for "happy birthday dragon age" and came up with one appropriate for Iron Roy or the other ladies, but not for you, so then did a search for "happy birthday mass effect."  Jackpot!

There are two people in that image that disturb me so.

Well, why the hell not? A thread like that would be popular and we'd have to drink because of it!

EDIT: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FOLEY!! I think Cabot ran off with the cake I baked.

[Bunny]

Happy birthday Foley!

We are celebrating my stepfather-in-law's 60th birthday tonight. I'll have an extra piece of cake in your honor.

[Ashaantha]

Fist up happy birthday Foley!!

 

Secondly thankyou to those of you in here who chat about Witcher 3 and spoiler tag it, since I can't buy the game yet it is very much appreciated.

 

Spoiler

All out of love of course.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I don't think it was that

You do know that you're gonna have to use that as your avatar now, do you?

[Bunny]

My very first Dragon Age character was a City Elf archer. Maybe she'll make an appearance with a mustache one day.

[Ashaantha]

My first ever DA character. ever. was a female human mage. I've kept that tradition going ever since. I think in total I've only properly played (made it out of intro/tuturial/whatever) 4 rogues, 2 warriors and probably 20+ mages. All 3 games that is. I have never finished a game, or even got more then 1/4 through origins, as a dwarf. but swap between elves and humans a lot. 1 of my warriors is a Qunari.

NO!!

 

*regains composure*

 

...I mean, I like looking at Isabela. It is very soothing.

 

*clears throat*

[Bunny]

*tries to remember Dragon Age characters*

...unable...to...compute...

Lots of rogues, a handful of mages and warriors in DAO.

DA2 and DAI all DW rogues.

[Ashaantha]

I'm probably forgetting a lot of characters then the numbers I posted earlier. Never ask me names of my DAO and DA2 characters either, I only remember Talia from origins since she's my main/canon/precious character and the only one I fully completed origins with.

 

[Bunny]

NO!!

*regains composure*

...I mean, I like looking at Isabela. It is very soothing.

*clears throat*

Haha I think things will work out in your favor. Isabela is the only female DW rogue companion right now, and having her as my avatar is fun.

[Dieb]

That's funny, I really only play the same guy -or girl in DAO's case- all the time. Which makes it ever so sad Morrigan is not a romance option in DAI, cause her personality got quite sexy. I mean it.

 

 

(A long one about DA games...)

 

You know what occured ot me about open world in future DA games and DAI? A lot of the qualms I have with it would be resolved if they went full-on open world travel. The whole thing came to me when I thought about how I mostly use the actual zone exit points to travel to somewhere else, just to fool myself into feeling more like I'm actually travelling there.

 

I think I can safely say by now that the particular thing I dislike is, that you are not truly travelling through the Dragon Age world, and it never feels like it. When you're in the Western Approach or the Hissing Wastes, there is a great sense of exploration and immersion (the dusty wind with a headset is amazing), but you have the feeling you're on a desert planet. It doesn't feel like the Empris du Lion or Crestwood are still there, because you cannot relate at all.

 

So if I can write one thing on my wishlist for a future DA game, no more half-assed open world. The areas are fine, really, no imminent need to drastically improve that. The whole problem is you do not feel like you're wandering about in a cohesive world, and I really want that the most. Whatever this "Thedas" is, it's still a mystery to me, you know? I wanna feel like i've literally walked the miles when I arrive somewhere. And I will gladly sacrifice a lot of environmental or climatic variety in favour of travelling from one hub town to another by foot. I'm in no way demanding quick travel to be removed, but I need to know I could.

 

Isn't that one of the greatest moments in RPG, when in your first playthrough you actually start seeing the next town ahead; pondering what merchants have in stock, and what the local plot is? I know this seems like an obscene demand, but for example weird games like Dragons Dogma pulled that off nicely, and again, I'm gladly willing to scarifice a lot of stuff for that. You can't tell me the Keep (which I could do without entirely) didn't chew up about a quarter of all the world design resources for all the fluff.
