    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Two things. 1. They want you to play and think tactically. To this end your rogue has abilities to sneak in and plant traps to mitigate large groups. Your caster can cast a group DR on a long CD that lasts a number of seconds that makes you immune or nearly immune but still do damage...

    Yeah this is not a completed game so if you are looking for that kind of "value" at this point you won't find it. Hell there isn't even a single module that is "feature complete", not even the Hangar since the rooms aren't all built yet. I think the Hangar is most likely to be feature complete...

    As for the ship sales tomorrow. Look some of us want the big ships. I'm getting an 890 Jump and I'm excited for it since I'm hoping it will be our Org's slick HQ where we can woo clients and impress... well probably nobody but it should still be cool to have a mobile HQ. I melted some ships...

    Just to clear up the question about continued funding, Chris Roberts was actually asked this question very recently. Despite rumors to the contrary he isn't diving head first into a vault filled with gold coins and swimming around in it. He has set aside enough capital to complete the game...

    I'm talking about individuals working on the game. I'm thought I was fairly clear in the example I gave but I guess not. For example Chris has a lot of people from the film industry helping with everything from concept design to sound and many things in between. Having seen their work it's...

    I doubt even CR has a clue when the game will launch. So many pipelines in the work that they are guessing. The only thing propping them up is the insane talent they have on hand. The average game studio would have folded already or would keep this game in the oven for 8 or 10 years with 1/4...

    SC had a design doc built something like 3+ years ago. It included certain core designs meant to be in the initial release of the game. Then there were "Would be nice" sections CR didn't think he could get into the game at release even if studio backed. But he hoped to include them later...

    Hey thanks for the no bullshit comments guys. I really appreciate the honesty. Looks like I'll hang back and wait for the PC release if there is one many moons from now. Hopefully it will improve by miles by then. I did want a deep engrossing story but I also enjoy co-op vs NPCs like ME3 MP...

    This was one game I actually entertained getting a console for which is something I swore I would never do. Well this and the new MGS game but that's coming to PC so fuck it. However I waited until it was out and I don't know what to think. I'm hearing combat is fun but the story is utterly...

    I agree they could do a much better job and should have shifted towards that when AC first hit. Their marketing dept is Sandi and while I love many things she has done they clearly don't know how to market the game without SQ42 and the PU. A lot of people want to see traditional marketing...

    I think the Xi'an Scout is a good example of something you are looking for but not on that list. All of the Xi'An ships are freaky looking or planned to be. Initial concept was entirely vertical but has since been refined to be much more practical but still obviously alien and so unlike other...

    Help me understand the logic because it's failing badly. The ending sucks. You got me so far 100%. Because that's what they put into the game. Ok I think I agree 100% that yes they did put that into the game and that's why it sucks. Two for two. Therefore what they planned changes...

    What Tuco said. Besides the only forced single player aspect of SC will be AC/FPS arena games that you have to pick manually so that's not really forced. Even Squadron42 is planned to be semi-MP since they plan to let your friends or whoever jump into missions with you if you set the flag...

    Supposedly that's what they are going for but players know jack and shit atm. I bet the shareholders know a TON more than we do until release. Some journalist needs to get on that again like they did with SWTOR and leak that shit. Just to twist the knife a little in EA.

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    Yeah no... Also ever play KOTOR? Two of the major concepts in that were supposed to be in ME3 and both were twists. They specifically wanted an ending that people would debate. That may have began as a story strategy but ended as a marketing one to setup ME4 until CH's exit. God knows...

    Not aware of them saying it isn't true. Why would they defend it and directly refer to it in tweets and comments on the forums to explain the story? Yeah I don't buy your empty statement.

    Ok I assume nobody gives a shit about spoilers at this point but if you do stop reading right now. I'm on my final playthrough at the very end having never played the DLCs for ME3 until now. I'm less upset about it all as it adds a lot of confirmation that in fact Shepard has been a subject...

    Yep absolutely. Things can change if they don't pan out. What I mentioned is currently in R&D stage at the most otherwise it's still on paper. It was mentioned very recently that they just completed hooking up mock star systems to test features internally we just don't know which systems...

    Mostly yes. I have multiples of a number of ships and that's how you end up spending so much. I won't bother posting a ship list as it's a pain in the ass but I pretty much have at least two of almost every ship in game. I don't have a Scythe but I do have one Idris-p I also picked up ships...

    I can answer these. But first you have to understand how instancing works. Here it is: PlanetA---InSystemJumpPoint01 to 02---Asteroid Belt---InSystemJumpPoint2 to 01---PlanetB. You can fly on your own power without ever using any jump points from PlanetA all the way to Planet B in the...

    This. Plus CIG is going to give Min/Maxing people a fucking heart attack. If anyone is of this mind they should watch the latest AtV and 10 for the Chairman (Reddit one with 5 questions). Expect factory recalls on ships/equipment that are unbalanced. You can keep them but they might...

    That's a very fair point and in fact my initial pledge was for exactly that. A Freelancer. Enough crew for a few people plus the pilot. It's perfect. However what I wanted from the game changed. A lot of my friends don't have time to grind months for ships. By the time the game launches...

    Correct. In fact I spent a lot of time looking at Elite before deciding it wasn't what I was looking for. Almost every single feature in a game I want exists in SC while only a few of them are in Elite. All of my friends are of the same mind. Engaging space combat via first person...

    You assume you can make at least a humble amount of money with that via investment. My experience has shown otherwise. You have to be lucky or you pay the tax on it much later depending on which type of investment you make. So that statement needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt.

    Actually I just dried out my savings recently paying off every debt I owed including school, credit cards and loans. I did the math of how much it would cost me over the expected 5-10 years to pay them off at the usual bi-weekly rate and I bulked. Yeah it's risky to do something like that but...

    It's not impossible to recover my cash if I wanted to break the TOS on other games I used to play like WoT and EVE. I could easily get 4-5k from those two alone. I was never that adventurous to try something like that. Same went for EQ and WoW. Now if I had a life emergency I would say...

    Well they mentioned that it will be released in the next few weeks.

    I'm not sure why anyone is surprised. At least anyone keeping an eye on the game that is. They only put the newest guts of the DFM together a few days before PAX. The fact that they even managed to get all the various pieces somewhat working is shocking. I can see them taking another month...

    You have to take into account how they actually plan to deal with instancing. They have discussed a system in place where everything is its own instance to a certain degree and those instances interact only when they need to. This would allow them to deal with big data in a more bit sized...
