    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    How required is a rogue playing through? I'm really wanting to go Warrior, Mage, Mage, Mage but my dislike of Anders and lack of a rogue is kind of giving me pause.

    I'm more sad about the massive losses of pre-Christian European culture and religion.

    Vikings

    Maybe, *maybe* I'll look at the Bible thing, but it kind of makes me scratch my head. I'm just not sure what they're going to do with it, it is either going to be rather "pro Christian", in which case we've seen it before or are they going to try and be "edgy" and end up being offensive and/or...

    War Thunder - MMO Combat Game

    Yeah, do arcade and sim level flight mode guys fight in the same arenas for the same points? Seems like an awful disadvantage.

    War Thunder - MMO Combat Game

    Doesn't look too bad. In my old age I'm still more interested in the ship combat than I am the planes and tanks, but that seems to be last on everyone's list. I really liked WW2 flight sim types when I was younger, but I think I found from a design standpoint that sticking to a historical era...

    War Thunder - MMO Combat Game

    Yeah, this sounds like World of Tanks, but instead of starting with tanks and branching out into planes and ships, they are starting with planes and branching out into tanks and ships? Is that right? But it is still simmy WW2 stuff, yeah?

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Yeah, Flemeth is like a local mythological "boogieman" of Ferelden, but what is really true isn't very clear. She's always been useful though, even if unclear on who's side she is on. She is clearly against the "world being overrun by crazy monsters" team though, so that seems handy.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I don't like any of the love interest in this game unfortunatley. In my proper DA1 play through it didn't work out either. The people I always like the most are never "available".

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Is Legacy like a big in-game conversion, so I shouldn't be playing through without it at all? Or is it post-game stuff like Awakening was for DA1. I ask as I'm enjoying this fine and about to reroll.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    The funny thing is, I always liked Flemeth. I never liked her daughter, so when her daughter came to me and said "Wahhh, I think mom is trying to kill me." I said "Sounds like a personal problem, bye!" and that was it. So I'm playing and talking to a friend on MSN and say "Huh, why is my...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I'm wrong actually. I read a note saying that Hawke family was children of the Male Mage Warden PC from DA1, who in mine died at the end. But I just realized that wasn't possible due to timing so I double checked and it isn't the case. My bad. Maybe it was an ealier piece of info that got...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I made it to Act 2. This game seems pretty standard BioWare fare. Solid storytelling and character development that keeps me interested, but it does seem a bit linear. I'm a little cranky with some aspects and thinking of rerolling to see how different things turn out. Gameplay wise I...

    Pope Benedict XVI resigns

    Honestly, I would just love to see the Vatican raided just to see it taken apart for what hidden secrets and treasures they have in there knowledge-wise. 2000ish years of hidden knowledge locked away in those vaults, I'd love to see what is hidden in there.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    That is how GW2 did it and I think it was a good trade off. The major plot quests were voice acted and had little scenes of you and the NPC talking, but the majority of the pissant stuff was just a random line or two and text.

    Yay got it working! Both my computer and DA2. I liked the little intro thing. Now I'm going to reroll 30 times to decide what character I want to play >.<

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Well ... fuck. The game wouldn't get more than a few sec into the begining video before crashing. When I tried to change video settings it crashed. So I went for new video drivers which puked and murdered my computer. Now I am unable to play anything. This pipebomb for Vex isn't big...

    I agree Vex, I ussual get sick of gameplay issues in RPGs than story replay. ME or TES style.

    It seems like lower throttle saves fuel to me. Dropping back to 3/4 seems to show a pretty substantial economy increase from 100%. But of course you need to maintain enough thrust to move you the direction you need.

    I don't think that Bioware's talky games have substantially limited replay compared to other games. Can you actually cite an instance of this?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    In the commercial for season 2, there is a short scene of a lake, or I'm actually guessing what is the bay off King's Landing with a big green firey explosion. Is the green fire the special fire the alchemist guild people make, the specific name escapes me right now? I was unaware of it being...

    I discovered my 6-pack of solid fuel rockets as my first stage just blows up in a glorious fireball 2/3 of the time. Shooting that poor guy into solar orbit seems to be a bit of a fluke. I'm experimenting with liquid-fuel now which is interesting but still in eary stages. Doesn't feel as...

    Kerbal Space Program

    Well I figured out I could steer (derp) and I had to manually turn on this autopilot I've been installing in every rocket since day 1. This solved a lot of issues. I then strapped 6 solid fuel rockets together as my first stage and after an intitial miscalculation and and spectacular...

    Kerbal Space Program

    Only playing the demo, but it seems like any time I do more than two stages with one solid rocket each everything goes to shit. Things explode, it doesn't go straight, I can't get liquid engines to even start. I got a basic 2-stage solid fuel rocket with a few winglets and a SAS thing about...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I think an important part of storytelling is the characters involved and their individual depth. When developers go to great lengths for them we get a better storytelling experience. The Japanese have been doing this since "day 1" really and is part of the reason Final Fantasy, Zelda, Chrono...

    You aren't a min/maxer as much as a cheater and sploiter, Tuco. That is probably your problem. It is hard to get attatched to characters when you cheatcode past the early stuff!

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I never noticed the silent character in DA1's first playthrough either. Sitting down with it again about 6 months ago though it was VERY obvious to me. As was the Dragonborn's in Skyrim, I find those long silent pauses in diolague painfully obvious now.

    Is this back to "people with mental disabilities should starve in the street or just be locked up because mental disabilities aren'trealdisabilities"? Oh, wait, can we execute them like the poors? *BLAM!* Suh-weeeeet! I'm always down for an execution!

    Justice League of America

    JLA was cool as the cartoon when they had like 2-3 of the "main characters" then 2-3 "guests" show up for each episode. As that is what is makes the JLA interesting, having 50 members that take turns or whatever. Which is great for a show, but not for a movie or handful of movies. Teen Titans...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I think you could but it exponentially complicates the game due to you cutting yourself off from factions and therefore that faction's quests/story/rewards so you need to add in more quests on a different faction now or the game simply becomes shorter. Also the more of these factions and...

    This sounds cool just because I would like to see if a space plane thing actuall works to get out of the atmosphere in any reasonable way. It doesnt let you shoot shit into space with railgun or anything?

    Justice League of America

    I see what he is saying though, the Marvel A/B list characters are probably a bit more interesting and maybe a bit less silly than DC's. Once you start digging down though all bets are off as they both have cool and utterly stupid shit in the closet. I think Teen Titans would be better to...
