Fifty-one pages in response. In 11 hours. That should tell you something about the utility, and usage, of this forum.
Besides, I've said it on Twitter and I'll say it here; the forums shouldn't be about the dev's, but about the people who play BioWare games.

"Dumpception" gave me my first genuine laugh of the day. Thanks, LLP.
You should've been here years ago for a joke I made about Germany censoring violence in games.
Someone made a reference to that and my only response was, "The irony"
Had everyone in stitches, literally tears in eyes. Oh 1942

ME:A will suck, and BioWare is up to some shaddy **** that will start an unavoidable **** storm of the likes we have never seen.
This game will blow, and shutting us down is their way of getting in front of it. What kind of second rate triple A developer cant maintain a damn forum?
Straight up shitshow amateur hour.

I lost all hope in MEA as soon as it was announced that it was MEA. Being in Andromeda screws both lore and basic common sense in too many ways. When we only know one thing about the story and that one thing is intellectually insulting... MEA Culpa is going to have everyone wishing they were going through ME3 for the first time again.

I said this would happen before. About a year ago. Fanboys went nuts and attacked me left and right for it.

Where can we go to discuss these games, then? This is literally the only place I know of that I can go to discuss ME and DA. I know only one other person IRL who even knows (or cares) what those are! I don't suppose someone can send some handy-dandy links to places where I could find similar conversations, could they?
I can recommend this site:
https://realdragonagefans.forums.net/
They are kind, welcoming and accommodating many from BSN and have DA and ME forums.

Closing the forums, so in other words the powers that be are taking a dump on the fan base. I've been coming here since Baldur's Gate was released ages ago and have been a Bioware fan of their games since then. Well, it seems that ever since the Evil Empire bought out Bioware, the company has been going down hill. First you moved from the original forums, which the powers that be said it would be around for archival purposes, Surprisingly those forums disappeared. Then we tried the whole Bioware/social network thingy which didn't pan out. Then you finally move to these forums, which was great. Then you killed off OT. And now you all want to kill off the forums in general. Well, perhaps myself and others will rethink on future game purchases from this time forward.

Imagine how "amazing" it will be when the game is released and people have no place to talk about it or even better ask questions about lore and quests in the game?! It will be so much fun trying to do that on reddit where the forums are pretty much a youtube comments section with a crazy upvote/downvote system or even better on Twitter under 140 characters....

Maybe not buy the game. Hit them where it hurts and not buy their products. No products, no money coming their way.

That they'll even go as far as to erase the forums after closing it...yeah, I'm not expecting anything but a mess now.
Good luck on twitter.

Or buy it used. You still get to enjoy the game, while they don't get a single cent of your money.

Its the erasing the archives more than anything else that makes me certain it IS a financial decision and they're lying. If the cost isnt the problem and they just want to communicate in ways other than the forums, theres absolutely no reason to purge the archives.

I needed that tonight, thank you. Especially with that gif.
I live to serve with Gomez gifs, my friend! You're one of the best people on the BSN, and even though we're on tumblr I'll sure miss seeing you here.

This is the worst part. Where's the discussion? Reddit's faceless and impersonal and has a weird up/downvote system so you have to go out of your way to even see parts of the conversation. Tumblr's similarly difficult to follow and almost impossible to organize. I have no desire to wax laconic on Facebook and Twitter about my nerdery - that's for telling my third cousin twice removed "Happy Birthday~" and updating my status once a year. :////

Tides of Numenera, Tyranny, Shroud of the Avatar + plenty other promising rpgs will be out soon. ME4 really isn't at the top of my list anyway.

Exactly! They're going to vaporize the WHOLE THING. I used to defend the decision to go to Andromeda. I now know I was wrong for that. Something stinks.
