    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I'm not sure I prefer DA:O's combat to DA2 but it's a close thing. The pausing effect was just so natural to me because of all the times I'd had to do it in any forgotten realms game. I remember those fucking cambion twins in Icewind Dale 2; if you didn't micro-task every single person of your...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Everyone is forgetting the biggest atrocity. Varric was not romanceable. Who the fuck would make that decision? Fucking retarded. If I cannot get that man out of his mithril subligars in DA:I, I am going to send a very angrily worded letter to congress.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Fair enough; DA2 was very forceful with romances, I agree, but I still think they improved on several things. I also don't think DA2 is being championed by anyone. I liked it, did not love it, but liked it, because as stated before, I tend to like just about any RPG. Also, I gotta say I'm...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    There was a lot that suffered in DA2 but the writing was still pretty good. Also, go back and play games like Baldur's, NWN etc...there are plenty of romance elements, and while they're not as "in your face" as DA2 Anders was, (and just for the record, NO ONE is as bad as Anders) there are...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I own the CE for DA:O and DA2; I imagine I'll be the schmuck with a CE of DA:I, but my finger will probably be hovering over amazon's cancel button JUST IN CASE.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Oh,undoubtedly. But the "no good" she is up to is likelynotthe root of all evil, though I anticipate it being a big thing nonetheless.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Yea, I did, which is why I tend to think she'll be an obstacle in the future, but not the "end all, be all". Most people don't know about her connection to Maric, and his promise to her for instance.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    False. Play it again. Morrigan says Flemeth is more dangerous than previously realized and she is connected to the blight; not that she had a hand in it. In fact, Flemeth gave Maric details and warnings about both the blight and Loghain's betrayal, kept the grey warden documents safe, saved...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Nah, I imagine Flemeth is after her own goals, and realizes that the world being demon fucked probably does her more harm than good. I expect her to pop up trying to take advantage of the situation, but I don't really see her actively causing it. For two games she's been more of the...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Well, I'd gush about hot pixelated guys in games if Bishop from NWN2 hadn't ruined me for all game romances FOREVER. Chaotic evil hot mancakes ranger? Come onnnn.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Did anyone hit up the Xbox event in San Fran, followed by the Gamestop Launch with Bungie on market street? Was at both; it was an incredible night for games. Xbox event was relatively low key - thursday night combined with the PS4 launch all but guaranteed a slow flow but was fun. The...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Yea, it's only an Inquisition as in the more literal form of the word; "an investigation conducted with little regard for individual rights, a severe questioning." It's definitely misleading. It's not at all about mages vs templars - the idea is literally EVERY single sphere is having...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    The inquisition is completely different from any other authority in Thedas. They don't answer to anyone, so being a mage doesn't matter. They've said in a few different interviews what the Inquisition is, without spoiling. (But just in case...) It's made a bit more evident by the fact...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    As a resto druid I'd probably shoot myself without healbot. I don't need anything fancy but healbot makes it about 20x easier to use my abilities, since so many of them are instants, and since I am watching for procs like ludicity, or sage mending or clearcast, etc. Also makes it easier for...

    Batman: Arkham Origins

    Yea, this is similar for me, in the same way that Dandai states. Eventually I just started doing dive bombs as that was far easier. It seems to me in order to do the glide kick accurately you need to not be actively gliding (IE not holding space) but leaping off of a building or at the apex...

    Batman: Arkham Origins

    Really loving the game so far. I love Batman, and as someone sitting on retarded amounts of hardcover graphic Batman novels, well...I guess I'll buy anything BUT, I feel this was worth my money. (Despite the fact that I had to buy it twice because they didn't make a CE for PC.) I saw a...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    MOP Heroics did not feel like much of a ramp up in power comparatively. At the beginning of Cata I remember being absolutely starved for mana as a healer and going "holy fuck wtf is going on, there is so much damage" but MOP was primarily based around hard hitting things that you could avoid or...

    The Walking Dead

    Yea, as others have said, you have to assume stupidity in this. There is a certain point where that suspension of disbelief is just well and truly pierced, and you're a mile past that mark and it just becomes ridiculous. A prison should be one of the most defensible areas; they are made to...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I would also second a prot paladin; I feel like they're the most well rounded, BUT I also feel like I have a bit of control over my group moreso than other tanks. Stupid dps has aggro? HoP them if you can't grab the mob. Healer might die? Word of Glory/LoH/Battlehealer/Selfless Healer...

    The Pokemon Thread

    You can get the starters within approx. 5-7 minutes of play. Once you flesh out the quest and talk to your mom, it sends you off. Get your second pokemon and as long as you can pick up a friend code or local connection, you can trade. I got x2 of each starter my friend and I didn't have in...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Battletag is Arysa#1370. I have a bunch of 90s and am pretty proficient with the raids, so I guess whatever is necessary. I am alliance primarily, and prefer to play heals, though I will play tank and if people are having issues i may degrade myself and play dps.

    The Walking Dead

    Let me nitpick about something. The zombies are dead right? Why is their fucking blood red and flowing? In season 1 + 2 wasn't it all congealed and black whenever a zombie splatted? They're not breathing right? It's a silly nitpick but I thought that it was a new thing so I was like, wtf...

    Skylanders Swap Force

    They do do this; it's called Pokemon Rumble, though it's not nearly as well marketed, and I don't think the game is exactly like skylanders/infinity, which is more action-y. Unsure though in total. If they made a pokemon game like Pokemon Conquest with characters I would never have anything...

    Hearthstone

    I have an extra hearthstone beta key; will trade for wow pets! Still need Kovok, Living Fluid, Viscous Horror, Moon Moon, Spineclaw Crab and Gu'Chi Swarmling. Looking for at least two, omg. Edit: ASAP because Pokemon comes out on saturday.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yea, I've been doing a bit more in diablo recently. Hatorade logged in and proceeded to rapewind our game, then tossed some bows at me. We're always looking for more these days; battletag is Arysa#1370. Down for killing some demons, or you can just join a match with me and rain some DH loot...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    At this point what I would love the most is some kind of "material" sorter, and a bank that is usable by all of your characters, + having a separate bank for mats. There's no shame in taking something from another game - FF's ability to have separate inventory for armor, materials, shards...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'm active again; working on the demon hunter but also working on a monk now. Though as others have stated that probably won't matter but meh. It's honestly amazing how much more I want to play knowing the AH is getting nixed.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I thought they mentioned somewhere that they were going to allow arcanists queue as heals, or something. I don't mind healing as conj till later but I'd like to get the exp on arc if I can as I go. I only mentioned it because I thought it was in the works. And as you said, the instances are...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yea Lei Shen was a bit more like old school WoW to me; even after you knew what he did and how things worked you still had to contour it to fit your raid group. My top raid guild in vanilla had a bunch of really weird strats for bosses because of our makeup (IIRC most guilds were rogue heavy...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I am really having a hard time how anyone thought the AH (in any form) was good. It tanked the idea of how you played Diablo; the team themselves said certain things were not implemented/changed because of the AH. D3 was less what Diablo was because of the AH. How was that in any way, a good...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The AH was a problem, definitely. Let's not kid ourselves and pretend the AH only became a problem because of shit itemization. It became MORE of a problem because of shit itemization, but even the Diablo team have stated that the reason certain items never got the "oomph" they needed was...

    Breaking Bad

    I took it to be symbolic; maybe I am reading too much into it, but the money over his head, mouth and heart sort of meant that how he thought, acted and felt about things became twisted because of money. Money on the brain, on the heart, on the lips. Whatever. Amazing episode. I love this...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Resto druids and shamans went nuts this patch. Perma-efflorescence tied to mushroom? Uh, ok. Even better that you can max a shroom out before boss engage and keep it rolling the entire time! Pop that sucker and start a new one. Nice on your melee, or a ranged group that is stack. Genesis...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yea, Cata coming on the heels of Wrath was hard - it was almost a complete about face. I liked Wrath, but it wasn't my favorite. It did however implement a lot of things that were good for players; like 7 weeklies instead of 1 daily, progression paths, and (while I hated it) the teired system...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I don't really know what your post was written for; parts of it seem to support my post, other parts seem really out there. For the record though, Blizzard themselves actually released reports of how many people they lost, and what types of people they were. (Raider vs. Casual) If you...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Vanilla wow is still the pinnacle of my WoW experience. TBC was very close, and why? Because both expansions had raid zones that only a small population could get into, so I was *always* experiencing more of the content than anyone else, with people I liked and felt a kinship with. That...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I don't know what you mean by this. After aiming I no longer have to aim? I am aware. Or do you mean once you "target" the mob you don't have to aim? I didn't click on my targets; I aimed and that locked on my target. It wasn't like wow however, where you click and just start firing. I...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Could not completely tell you; I played with a bow, and it was very similar to Skyrim - press and hold to fully draw back, press and let go for a quick shot. You did have to aim, but unlike skyrim, it seemed relatively forgiving if you weren't exactly on point. What I would LIKE to see is...
