I'm curious how long 6000 will remain matched up to this post, and where it will end up in relation to it.

6002 to be correct.

For now.

 

IT DROPPED BY ONE!

 

DUN DUUUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

The Keep has never detected all my Wardens or Hawkes, a very small amount of them are there to be used.

Unfortunatly in mine case it did recognized before all of mine characters. Only now it has done in one minute some purge of Wardens only. Have no idea why.

I will go to check Origins for that matter but game files on pc are untouched by anything.

I have only 4 Wardens in total and the very same amount of Hawke's and Inquisitors. So it's very unlikely that Keep should have any problem with detecting them.

Style matters

Which brings up another important point about Bioware's future means of interacting with its public. Up until now, the representatives have, with one stellar exception, been poorly dressed. Jessica Merizan dressed well. She got it. Everyone else just threw on random bits of contemporary clothing and called it a day. If you want to know why the mage hats were so unsatisfactory, look at how the people responsible for them dress.

Their general lack of fashion sense is what led to such atrocities as Hawke's loungewear and Chateau Haine outfit, the Inquisitor's oatmeal colored longjohns and nutcracker outfit, and ME3 and DA:I's hairstyles.

I've always said they need to hire me as a fashion consultant...

Sad, I don't know if I'll say it anymkore.

Anyway, I went off on a tangent there. Bioware to me don't seem to want to make the types of games that made them famous. The types of game where they could do no wrong in the eyes of their fans. The types of games that made EA want to buy them in the first place. The problem is that those are the types of game I want from Bioware, and it's clear that I'm no longer going to get them.
I wish Bioware all the success, I would hate to see them pushed into EA's dead devs graveyard. Yet in such a small space of time I've gone from 'buy without question' to 'I'll wait and see.'

Of course, this depends on what you consider those "types of games" to be. I thought DAI was pretty much standard issue Bio right down the line, myself.

Oh don't remind me of this Nutcracker outfit. Why couldn't we go in some fancy dress ? Even Morrigan got some dress !

ME 3 hairstyles ? What do you mean ? I never noticed any major change, both mine Shepard's had their own hairstyles barely touched by BioWare.

 

And Hawke clothes in MotA good Nor ... ugh I know Eloise looked like some wild woman, but surely this clothes at this party were taken from some court jester. I know this Hawke disliked dresses but couldn't she got something nicer than this ? And on both Christian and Theresa this looked even worse - especially if Theresa could get better clothes by going in her normal robes they were more nice looking that this outfit.

Loungewear ? Ooooh ! You mean Hugh Hefner dressing-gown !

 

And yeah Inquisition ... those unanswered questions of mine like - why I cannot have long braid for mine elf there ?!

Even mine male Mahariel could have longer braid in Origins, but you tell me in Inquisition Verissa must have some short pony tail ? Really ??

I didn't complain about Araize Adaar since she was qunari and I did not expect qunari to have really fancy hairstyles ... however I must put to mind such Tamassran in Heroes of Dragon Age who somehow has really fancy nice looking hairstyle, yeah good job BioWare ...

 

I also don't complain on first cloth set for Inquisitor. The one which people call "pajama" for some reason. Looked nice on Adaar.

However I must complain about how little there was diversity of those clothes.

On Dalish and Human Mage I used the very same clothing style only different colors - this one which was called "Risk Investition" or something like it.

I was just stumped about what to wear on mine mage Evelyn Travelyan, there was none third set of clothing to fit her.

 

Ah and major complain about Inquisition. BioWare please next time hire more than TWO voice-actors.

Everything is cool .. but you hired one voice-actor who was fitting to Qunari only and one who was fitting only to Dalish.

If you do things like this then please remove ablitity of playing as Dwarf and Human.

...I liked Hawke's home wear, and the Haine outfit fit the pompous style of that place *ducks*

I just realized this presents the perfect opportunity to post a beloved song that fits some snark too. Mind you I'm on mobile so it might not work right but screw it. Annie knows what's up.



Oh wait, this one too



Remember when BW broke up with us? I sure do.

I haven't seen the BSN this united since the ME3 ending debacle. 

 

In all seriousness, this is disappointing. I've been a lurker on these boards since 2009, and decided to join just before ME3 was released. I don't post as much as I'd like, but I drop in and read it every day. 

 

This is a great community, and I've come to appreciate even the folks who I almost never agree with. Just a bunch of people hashing out their love and appreciation for BioWare franchises in their own unique ways. I'm going to miss a lot of those personalities...names I've read for the last seven years. That's a long time, and while I don't know many of you personally, I still feel like I do on some level.  

 

I don't think I've ever come here seeking the feedback or input of an actual BioWare employee, but I've always enjoyed reading what fellow fans have to say. I'm really sad to see the BSN go.

I've heard rumors of places where one might in the future find a significant chunk of the awesome people who made this community what it was before they decided to pull the plug

i predict that Bioware forum will be deleted by September 26th.

Good luck.

 

And yes, events like these bring people together.

 

I was lucky, though. I have a lot of people on my FL with different opinions. A lot I met on the Off-topic forum in the music thread. I met lots of others who wanted one of my FemShep sig pics. I like them all, but let them have a forum discussion and we'll have a Defcon 2.

See? That's a great example. She is on my FL and of course had to disagree to prove my point.

They never had mine for Andromeda.

Bioware seem to want to go into the shooter genre, even the controls of Dragon Age: Inquisition felt far more shooter than they should have been.

The problem is that they aren't that good at it. ME3 gets praise for its combat but compare that to even the first Gears of War (same game engine used on both series, so a fair comparison) and it's blown completely out of the water.

Perhaps the switch to the Frostbite engine means Bioware can get Dice to give them some advice on how to make a decent shooter, but given their recent output perhaps not.

Anyway, I went off on a tangent there. Bioware to me don't seem to want to make the types of games that made them famous. The types of game where they could do no wrong in the eyes of their fans. The types of games that made EA want to buy them in the first place. The problem is that those are the types of game I want from Bioware, and it's clear that I'm no longer going to get them.

I wish Bioware all the success, I would hate to see them pushed into EA's dead devs graveyard. Yet in such a small space of time I've gone from 'buy without question' to 'I'll wait and see.'

Maybe Andromeda is going to be fantastic and I'll look back and regret not buying it at launch. I have a suspicion though that I will be waiting for the Game of the Year Edition if I ever decide to get it.

 

But somewhat ironically...why would anyone now regret not buying it immediately at launch? Others have pointed out that since there won't be an official forum to accidentally read spoilers, why would it matter if I preordered the game or waited a month, or even just a week to buy the game? Given the current state of games (not just Bioware games, all games) nearly all new releases have significant bugs in them upon launch and take some time to get patched.

 

So really, it's in the customer's best interest to wait to buy, unless they really want the minor enhancements from a special edition.

 

I waited for months before buying TW3, mostly because I waited to hear reviews since I hadn't played the previous games, and I wasn't following its development like I was DAI. So I got to bypass a lot of the bugs and UI upgrades.

 

The preorder bonuses really aren't an incentive to me. It's generally just some items which are quickly underpowered by the point they would come in handy. The bog unicorn was cool, I guess, although kind of lore breaking (why would Josie allows the Inquisitor to use a spirit possessed dead horse as a mount?!) and mounts turned out to be superfluous in the game anyway.

O/T but did you used to run a Sage in SWTOR with the same login as your BSN handle? If so I was once grouped in a Dread Fortress PUG with you on my Guardian. Epic heals.

Counterpoint - the black hole gun in ME2. AKA the only heavy weapon anyone ever needed.

 

Stylish and hilarious, too. Agreed about every other preorder bonus they've ever done, though.

They need to bring that gun back for ME:A.

This is my main problem with shutting down the forums. Please excuse some repetition.

When I had difficulties with DAO. I would come here and look for solutions. If I didn't find them, I posted my question, and over time, it would get answered. Later i was able to help other players with problems I had solved.

The same thing happened with later games.

Let's assume Andromeda is the bestest game BW has ever produced. It's just swell in every way. It will still have bugs, glitches, plot holes and such. These games are huge and the code for them is equally large. No matter how thoroughly BW tests the code, players will still find unanticipated problems. When they do, they will look for solutions. They won't find those solutions here. They will not ask the questions here. Those questions will remain unsolved and unaddressed by BW because they will not know where they are being asked.

The official response may be that players ought to file bug reports. They probably should. Based upon games in the past, they mostly will not. Because bug reports rarely get answered directly.

If my main character is trapped in a pool of boiling lava, a bug report does not help me. My main character needs to know that typing a certain code frees her from the pool. That sort of knowledge almost never happens as the result of a bug report.

The end result is that however lovely a game Andromeda is, the playing experience will not be nearly as good as it would have been with an active, official forum.

And if my main character winds up trapped in the lava pool Bioware can expect some very harsh language on a variety of social media.

I get the heavy weapons mixed up. Is that the Cain or is that the nuclear one?

 

What I actually enjoy more are the little trinkets that unlock when we do some other promotional material, like the Quest for the Red Lyrium Reapers (the concept still makes no sense to me) or in DA2 the items we unlocked when we progressed in Dragon Age: Legends. The items themselves were fairly useless but it was fun to have some promotional materials get me excited for the upcoming games.

See, that's just it for me too. Every issue I've had in any of the games, DAO and onwards, the answer was always found here. Bugged out star things in DAI? Found people talking about it here. Kasumi's mission glitching out in ME3 so I can't complete it (still bitter)? Found people talking about it here too.

The list really does go on but it beats looking at Gamefaqs' boards and things like that, finding it right at the supposed source. I mean I know they never fixed certain things but at the very least, there's a chance they actually looked at it. Using social media to report bugs is kind of hilarious to me in a sense and not something I intend to do.
