Sounds like typical ex-girlfriend stuff, minus the pills.

Hrm...which is that? Only thing I can really think of gave you no choice. And man Zhaun, maybe your comp just fucking blows! As far as the whole first enchanter going crazy, yea I don't understand why he would. I mean, ok, I get that he's repressed, and that templars are assholes...

Oh come on! You know you gotta play the game where you spend 99% of the time reading your phone so you can't be too into her anyways. Just be reading it all on your phone. What kind of an excuse is that??

Ahhh, I see what you did there. Message read:

I've got nothing bros. Which makes me sad, because apparently I could be making bank with a clever enough sob story.

Jesus christ. Also, Soygen, Merkins, Keg and Urgo giving me many lolz. A few of you other guys too but jesus. Jesus.

Does anyone know why for the love of all that is holy, healbot suddenly stopped showing magic debuffs in MSV/HOF/Terrace? It doesn't show on my druid so I've had to watch the blizz UI for it - I tried setting it as a custom debuff, and upgrading my healbot version but nothing helps. Anyone...

I'd actually say it has just as much replay value; depending on who you had with you in DA2/DA:O often changed how you could complete an objective. I had Fenris torture a guy for me, Isabela created a diversion, Varric straight up LIED to someone to save a guy and he made him give me gold, and...

Honestly, if I pretend this happens after the ending, it will make me happy. I get to furnish my own apartment, fuck yea.

Yea, I gotta say, I did enjoy the fact that old dungeons/bosses didn't become obsolete. If you were a top teir played, you had your pick of shit, and if you weren't top teir, you felt like there was this endless cornucopia of baddies to beat down that would increase your power. The only...

There were things that I liked about it, and I guess I should say, I tend to be a sucker for RPGs in general. I'll play anything or at least try mostly anything RPG related, and because of how much I loved DA:O, DA2 seemed the natural progression. It faltered a lot, but it had a familiar...

Oh, I don't want instantaneous travel. I simply want the ability to "unlock" a quicker mode of travel once you've fully gotten into the game. That doesn't have to be instant either, it just needs to be quick enough to encourage travel and exploration even after the game has been out for...

Well, this already happened in EQ as it was, even with tedious travel. Most contested bosses were often locked down in such a way as they only appeared during a specific time zone. You might get lucky with a server restart/patch etc, so that it spawned differently, but as someone who was in a...

I think people really forget the amount of running they had to do in EQ. Pretty much anywhere you wanted to be was going to take time to get to. Before PoP and the hub that it was, not only did you have to plan where to be, but you had to make sure you were within distance of a vendor who...

Yea, there was a write up I think late last year about how they had this way of doing things, then scraped the whole damn thing. What he said he wanted to do was take it back to EQ's playstyle with more advancements, that most of us are used to. (IE new tech) EQ is such an anomaly. It's...

More relevant, are these quotes from Smedley, that I cannot interpret: "In my opinion, the days when companies can make content [generation] the number one strategy, in the kinds of games we make, are over, because we can't win the war. Star Wars [The Old Republic] proved that. Players bought...

NWN2 Mask of the Betrayer is as god damn awesome as an expansion/DLC is ever going to get I think. That expac MADE that game for me. Awakening was very similar to Mask, so here's to hoping we get more of that.

So you don't read what you write, you just talk out of your ass then? I don't really care if you like one thing over another. I don't necessarily agree with it or understand it, but I did take exception to comments like these. Trying to pretend it's not what you meant when it was word for...

Oh no I definitely agree. Luclin travel for me, when I think of shitty, was taking a portal and then having to run into the cave systems to get to all the outdoor bosses. *That's* the part that sucked. Invisible bridges, long, pathing underground crap etc. The NToV run was fucking terrible...

Your attachment sucks for me. =( But your post is good. Did I + you on this board yet?

Yea, I think at this point people are disagreeing with eqnext posters and just following them to other gaming threads. And really Tuco?GO BACK TO GUILD WARS HEATHEN.

You WERE forced to run through outleveled zones on a regular basis; did you farm at all for the VT shards? I remember getting a portal and running to Sebilis; running to Velketor's Lab, running to EVERY MOTHERFUCKING ZONE IN LUCLIN BECAUSE THOSE ASSHOLES ALL DROPPED SHIT FOR KEYS. Did you ever...

"It's dragon detail, and skyrim is one damn fine continent to be working with dragons."

This is like...wait, what? I don't even...this is more of an entitled gamer mentality than anything I've said. Someone doesn't agree with you so they're entitled? What am I entitled to? The finer things of an MMO? Fine, whatever. The problem with annoyances and frustrating concepts is...

Right. I agree with this. I also don't understand why people want "nuances" and "annoyances" and "frustrations" in a game. I don't go down to the god damn pizza story unless it's worth my time, but people are willing to PAY to be annoyed? That's such a confusing concept to me.

GTA3 and Chrono I think had very imagined ways already that they thought those characters should be, you were simply driving them, not providing them with the basis of who they were. If that makes sense. Not being able to romance Varric was the fucking worst thing about DA2. THE.WORST.THING.

Right. I can imagine that defending crossroad keep from the king of shadows is just one step in my epic god damn life, and I can imagine that every time I talk to Deekin in the shop that I am asking about his family because I love him, but that shit ain't happening. The first time my Shepard...

There was an article I read years back that came out after PoP released - when that expansion hit, a lot of older EQ gamers decried that it was ruining the game, and omg portals to everywhere? WTF ARE THEY THINKING? But, they also found that with the portals in place, more people saw more of...

It's a semantics argument - I use storytelling as a verb, and if the story is not written into the game and told to you, then yea, there's less of it. That's the fact part. The why you want one over the other - you like filling in blanks, you want to hear how your character reacts, 8 billion...

I've always favored a system that requires you to see the content a few times, but after awhile, when you've leveled, when you've done it a billion times and now can do it easily, you can skip it. IE, essentially what Rezz said above. Doing runs through scary forests or orc infested woods with...

No, obviously another redone Phil Collins song like the Dead Space 3 trailer.Duh.

Sorry, I didn't necessarily -only- mean this thread; I've been following some other forums, and in particular there have been a few very large petition type threads that are nutty. I also tend to have this convo once a month with the BF - it always devolves into what made EQ great, and when he...

OR, conversely, it could be that for some ungodly reason, when everyone else played EQ, enjoyed it, and looked for the genre to advance, others stagnated and decided that EQ was the golden age and that they should just stay in that little corner forever. I think it was Muligan that said what...

Dailies in general are fine, but the way games nowadays seem to execute them leave much to be desired. Dailies that are done as an "extra" and are not gating anything are the way to go - have some time to kill? You can grind this rep for vanity items/mounts/pets etc. SWTOR actually does...

Joke's on you, they cancelled that DLC, so if it does get game time, it'll probably be part of DA3 and then you're $60 in the hole. WHAT NOW?!

Neener neener, you're going to buy it anyways!

Yea, I was very much looking forward to the DLC, especially since I thought DA2 ended with things "up in the air". The reason for Varric describing the entire thing is because the divine march has happened and he's being interrogated etc. Also, my main play through romanced Sebastian, and...

Well, I wasn't really trying to point out that they should give you hard consequences necessarily in things like skyrim. My main point was that with a silent protagonist, you have to live vicariously through the other characters reacting to you almost to figure out -anything- about you. And...

Personal opinion on silent protagonists is that the way you create your character and view them is mostly illusion. Think of the games you've played with silent characters, where you are in their shoes. I could make choices after choices and my character so rarely reflected that. If someone...

Yea, we live in san fran - I love both of those fruits but so rarely buy them from grocery stores because they can be hit or miss. But man, the ones from the market were fantastic.
