God, I'm tired of this random Inquisitor spam, so I'm somewhat happy that I won't see this anymore

 

Ugh, right?! People enjoying the games so much that they save pictures from those games? On the forums that (used to be) designed to discuss those games? The worst!

 

Glad you could delurk to insult someone before the boards close.

[Nefla]

Huh, I actually had the exact same thought-process about all that

 

This makes me so sad. Bioware should try to attract the - you know - RPG audience. There aren't very many companies out there who make AAA RPGs, so it makes me very sad when they decide to appeal to the largest audience instead, because it dilutes what's left of the genre a bit. I guess that sounds melodramatic, but I'd hate to lose RPGs in favour of something that appeals to "the casual audience". I don't mind them having multiplayer (I actually love ME3MP), I just don't want them to compromise or dumb-down any aspects of singleplayer.

 

I guess all I can do is hope more people start liking RPGs

I know It's not just BioWare either, it feels like RPGs are becoming a thing of the past. I think too many big name developers really underestimate the intelligence and drive of gamers. They seem to assume that the majority are unintelligent, have the attention span of a hamster, get frustrated at the slightest obstacle, etc...and make their games to accommodate this fictional gamer. At least people who like old school isometric PoV RPGs have seen a resurgence with indie games. The games I like seem to just be going extinct.

 

 

 

Are you serious?! Love your cute drawings I've seen on here, it would be spectacular if you would do that    I'll have to PM you for sure. Thanks!

 

Hecks yes XD it will be my parting gift :3

 

 

 

As for your posts, I understand wanting a clean slate after all this. But know this: Your posts may be lost into the ether, but they will not be forgotten

Aw well if BioWare's future games end up doing a 180 and turning out fantastic and I hear about them somehow then I shall reappear

 

 

 

I doubt that I am.  Doesn't feel like I will have a place in most of them.  I mean, they are being set up mostly as an alternative to this place, and I can't imagine buying anymore Bioware games and certainly can't imagine wanting to talk about them anymore so....yeah....

I feel the same way

Ohhh that's just dirty.  Dirty, dirty, dirty.  Linking me to a Witcher thread like that.  And I even saw some of my Witcher peeps over there.  Not a lot, but a few.  Starting to feel itchy.  Your evil sir, just plain evil. 

 

Start the TW3 thread and they will come....

Sad to see that a lot of people already gone.

 

The saddest part is the one that not everyone is gonna move to a new forum, some people will just let it die for them... That's the saddest part.

 

(btw, what happened to DancingDruid ?)

I'm going on vacation for two weeks and will be away from the internet starting tomorrow, so I will miss the actual end of this era.

I share this sentiment. Couldn't have put it better.

 

P.S. I'm pretty sure I still have some of your old avatars of Gwendolyn from 2010/2011 saved on my laptop.

"Rpgs" from triple A companies, sure. Never ignore Indie games. We had the awesome Divinity:OS and Pillars of Eternity

Big companies want more costumers because their only aim is to sell. Artistry and originality will be compromised. Meaning they will milk franchises, repeat formulas, dumb down gameplay etc. Support indie developers.

Yeah. A lot of people have given up on BW. It's damage that BW inflicts to itself. The gamers can only stand by and watch.

 

But... To help the others find a new site, you should change the coloring in your signature. On a dark BSN theme and some browsers large parts of it are totally invisible. I can only read those when selecting the text with the mouse.

Druid left. She joined bsn.boards but deleted everything shortly after.

They cultivated a new generation of RPG crowd, and they seem pleased with the results. Folks who picked up RPGs in the 'cinematic' age are perfectly fine with all the mass appeal, if the success of Bethesda's recent titles are anything to go by. IIRC BioWare brought up Skyrim a lot while hyping DA:I. It spread itself too thin and had tons of pointless filler content, so they took some notes atleast.

 

I'm perfectly fine with no character generation, like in every jRPG ever and european RPGs like Gothic or Witcher series. I find it silly to write off a game just because you can't adjust some sliders to hear the same stuff coming out of the PC's mouth, only looking different.

 

I don't mind reading so voice acting isn't a must for me, increasing production values lead to trouble anyways. No to mention cutscenes are getting problematic with the increasing scope aswell. TW3 was fantastic in that regard, but ME3's auto dialoges and DA:I's fixed camera on approach solutions were half assed and hurt the game IMO.

 

Atleast Divinity OS2 comes out sometimes next year, and let's hope Kingdom Come: Deliverance can live up to its non-fantasy RPG ambitions. Obsidian's Tyranny looks promising aswell. I'll be fine without the mainstream AAA industy.

Besides http://bsn.boards.net/ and http://fextralife.com I have signed up with https://the-refuge.net/ too because the layout is very similar to here and looks like a really nice place as well. I will see which one will be my main go-to-site after a couple months I guess, and I hope to see many from around here too (some I already do see ).

There's hope for all of us!

To me closing the forums is a big mistake primarily because not many people get it signed up another social media outlet and most of the social media outlets that are interesting today have limits on how many words you can type and the level of security we seen Social media outlets like Facebook Twitter and even YouTube being used by people who have bad intentions and in mine and the social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter what's not created to hold a big discussion about certain things it was created as a quick way to show off what you doing but as forums like this was created to have that long discussions about certain things you don't see other game on forums shut down their forums because they're not as active on it they keep it up so fans can discuss about certain things in the game and A bit unfair to closedown between I believe 4 to 5 maybe more gaming forums and For some of the gaming franchises and not closedown all of them gonna close down fast majority of gaming forms for their franchise that they have then to me this is just hypocritical because they've only just launched the mass effect Andromeda forum why close the forums down when brand new form page comes up it doesn't make any sense because you're cutting off The fans way of discussing on a official forum that you as a gaming developer can watch and monitor to make sure there are no other authorised information coming out and other social media outlets they would have Little or no control of information that comes out so I'm hoping that they might reconsider this whole shutting down the Forums because to me it is the only safest way to control information and it's a much better way for fans to communicate and talk about the game

Lol, funny story, I created my Facebook profile just to enter a Dragon Age: Origins Digital Deluxe Edition giveaway contest on a gaming news site, and I won one.

 

Sent the code to a friend.

[Liamv2]

I have twitter for free **** and tumblr for gifs.

I created a Facebook account back in the day primarily to participate in a 'present your DA:O character' contest from a gaming news site, and I won a ME2 Collector's Edition in the process. Good times!

But do any of youse see Facebook Twitter and many other social outlets replacing forums

No. But that's whats on offer. BW wants to broadcast and call it a conversation. They really do not want to hear back from the hoi polloi.

[Get Magna Carter]

As I only post on Weekends and holidays  I'll say a quick goodbye to everyone who noticed and/or remembered me

 

I'll still probably be lurking on the boards the next few days but not signing in

I'll still be luring on the internet somewhere whough I am not on Facebook or Twitter and have not (yet) signed up to any of the new boards

Some of you may encounter me again

but for now 

By-eee

I would like to take a moment to point out that it was several days before I actually read the name correctly as "Apostitute" instead of "Apostate."

 

I am ashamed and will flagellate myself accordingly.

"Then go away"

Talking about forum iterations. I think I remember 4. The soon to be purged current one, the old BSN, and the blue old forums. Wasn't there one before that?

 

Hm...the blue ones...I remember Jade Empire having it's own forums that's where I first joined. They were orange. XD

[Kantr]

I only came to the old forums at the time of ME3 ending to howl along with the others into the void about how I didn't like it.

 

Then I was slow about playing the Dragon Age games until I learnt about DAI and got myself DA2 in 2014.The months before the launch were a good time for increasing post count and like count

Why is she fighting Cerberus in her bra and knickers?  Poor pet will get the sniffles.

I actually can't even remember how to change the starting armour any more, the change isn't there on my latest run.

As I recall it was simply me being warped and wanting to see if it were possible. It was quite funny when outside as she still put the N7 helmet on. Still if some of the crew could run around with just breather masks on, Shepard has to prove herself their better
