As I returned to check out things in the forums yesterday after few months of chilling and playing DAO too much, I noticed the great number of angry people. Furious, even. The reason, the upcoming expansion, seemed like an interesting and exciting addition to the game, but why is everyone so frustrated about it? Well, after few looks on threads I got my answer, but still found myself awaiting for this expansion. Why, you ask?


Because DLC items were mostly overwhelming when compared to most armour of the vanilla game. Because Romances, while being nice addition and fun extra, are not the focus of the game. Because Oghren has been my favourite character and I have regretted being lazy and leaving him last to be recruited. Because I got over the US ending problem (Yeah, well, this I didn't like too much but I will forgive you, Bioware )


Now, the point of this thread is not to debate over these things, but to let us, who are satisfied with the future expansion, let thank Bioware for yet another, most definately entertaining bit of gaming to be.






And lastly: You do have a right to complain, but do use the numerous threads dedicated for them.

Well aren't you a dear.

[Cairsoir]

And likely, you are easily dissatisfied?

[flem1]

Thanks? They're getting $40 of your money for an all-corners-cut expansion that massacres continuity. That should be enough.

You could have used the 'numerous threads' to write what you did...

So your satisfied with someting you not even seen/played/can have an opinion on? hmmm....easily satisfied then are we? hehe

No worse than having people ****** and cry like little school girls over an expansion they haven't tried yet.
Or the countless spam threads regarding the same darn things. booh-freaking-whoo.
Some posetive vibes around here is what's needed. But give it a couple of days and the rants will be gone.

No Romance!!
By your girlfriend some sexy underwear and invite her to a candle light dinner.

No DLC items!!
Think about the possible new cool items in awakening.

Wouldn't you rather have the choices there(romances, armor, etc) for those who want it...and if you don't want it....ignore them?

[BlastedLands]

well, and surely positive vibes are most likely created by someone basically saying "look, i'm a much better person than you are, because i don't vent on the internet. btw. i don't care about the things you don't like"?

not so much, i fear.

[Velvetmeds]

funny how some people think that everybody thinks the same way.



i'm glad there's no romances in the expansion, and i couldn't care less about the DLC items (or any items at all! it could even not allow me to carry any item from the campaign, i wouldn't care). so no im not easy satisfied, cause just because of what i said it doesn't mean i already like the expansion. i'll reserve judgement until i play it, cause up until now i've seen nothing bad about it.



people look for different things in games. you like items, fine. some don't care. i like romances, but i dont want any in a god damn expansion..our char is not a casanova.



to each his own.

i second this.....there needs to be more positive feedback. How do you know all corners have been cut how do you know its going to be horrible etc? We have just as much right to thank an give praise as the huge numerous ranting threads have rights to complain. Just because we like it and defend it doesnt make us fanbois as so many like to say. Yet when we call them trolls they get all hugely defensive an act like its justified for them to call us that an yet we have absolutely no ground or right to call them trolls So what say with that said avoid such things is this thread at least hmmm? The amount of ranting negative feedback compared to positive threads is like goliath vs david. I for one despite being dissapointed by some of the faqs will be looking forward to the expansion and more dlc from bioware.



Sincerely

Tresca



p.s. Just sick of all the ranting an whining an complaining and seeing those who are *gasp* supportive shot all to hell like theyre defending hitler or something

[BlastedLands]

guess the main problem is, everything that took place in dao made most people think it'd be handled differently. it felt like it was set up for something different. now the expansion announced so quickly and feeling quite rushed so far.... that simply makes people a little frustrated. adding the whole state of the gaming industry, where one has every reason to feel ripped lately, panic occurs, message board goes amok. *shrug* not something special.

[Wishpig]

Just ignore the whining and b****'in it will go away in time. I swear the bioware forums are so damn predictable it hurts.

why is incorporating US so important? for all we know, if we pick the orlaisian warden, US is probably the background! makes perfect sense... thats the only way US can be continued.

But without the decisions being imported, it will be useless.
If players who got their warden's killed can't see the consequences of their decisions through the eyes of the Orlesian, then there is no point in starting with the Orlesian in the first place.

That's why Bioware has to explain clearly, whether the decisions of a dead warden can be imported or not. Otherwise, I see no point in being the Orlesian.

well shucks, what did you expect.

[Memtndude]

Why are you all discounting Bioware like they don't know what they're doing? They make the best games in the world, I don't see them wrecking a game or an expansion. For all you know when you import a dead character it just gives you more xp/money and a such but makes you start their new grey warden. If you don't like that option, perhaps you shouldn't have killed off your own personal warden. The choices were yours to make, and you made them. I personally have one saved game where I'm dead and one where I'm alive. So I'm good to go either way. As long as this game has been out there's no reason to only have played through this game once.

[thestillwind]

The reason it's useless to carry over the DLC item is that the level cap is raised so your DLC item won't be useful since it'll get underpowered. DUH

[Nerdage]

I just hope that these issues don't plague the whole series, and by "issues" I mean both the mad complaining and the things being complained about. I'd hate to see the sequel written off before it begins because some people can't just accept things as they come.

Just have a little faith. If you thought origins was good then maybe bioware's earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to awakenings, and if you don't like it then feel free to not buy any more dragon age games, but don't just write it off entirely because of a few scraps of pre-release info.

The "Thanks Bioware" threads appearing just after any outburst of rage are just as predictable though.
As is the the crowd that will make it their mission to label any criticism as whining and b!tching

There should be room for both criticism and support on a forum. And a product needs both to reach it's potential.

Some people say there should be positiv feedback. Indeed. But just proclaiming one's faith in the development team isn't feedback, it's support  (even though in some cases it may be blind hero-worship, just as some criticism is nothing more than neurotic rage).

An example of positiv feedback:
I believe it is a good move to give people the option to "ressurect" their Ultimate Sacrifice character. Many gamers play a game only once. This does not mean though that they are any less fond of their character. Giving these people the option to undo that choice so they can play the expansion with the character they loved, is something I can fully support.
