    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    This is your post that I was talking about. You said lack of isometric view and then characters not remaining in position. So out of the two concrete things you mentioned, one is true but not necessarily an indication of a bad game (pretty much no games give you an isometric view anymore) and...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    You of course have a right to your opinion. I would fight to the death to let you voice your opinion my friend! That being said, you can't call someone else arguing with you "crying" and then not expect to get that thrown back at ya! Also, when you were asked to point out stuff that you...

    Mikhail and Hodj's Political Thread

    Well, that, and the ceremony over the vat of human blood. Seriously though, its like any doctorate. It is about contributing something new to the field. That is really all a doctorate says, that you completed some extra schoolwork and contributed something novel to the field. I knew a guy who...

    Only someone from Kentucky would think the most logical method to catch deer was dynamite. Holy shit how does that occur to someone??

    Wait one gosh darn second friend. You are the one talking about how DA2 raped your mom and killed your sister. The only one crying around here is you! Here is I think a fair review of DA2 for Hodj. Note the only real negative is the way overly reused textures. Incoming OMG THEY ARE PAID...

    What is your opinion on GMO plants and products?

    False choice, since I can't pick "Awesome". My education level is a doctorate in mathematics, which has absolutely fuckall to do with GMOs. However, I have yet to see any legitimate research showing that GMOs are harmful in general. On the other hand they have led to some great advances in...

    Doesn't Saul still need to do something for Javadi to get him promoted? I think it makes sense for Brody to be involved in that. Having him come back to assassinate the senator seems ridiculous.

    I played the shit out of the Gold Box games. I am the hardest of the hardcore Gold Box fans. In fact, I spent forever beating Pools of Darkness Challenge mode and writing up a guide for it, with maps and everything. I still keep around the paper copies of the maps I made of Pools of Darkness...

    Bolded the important parts of your post. You are wrong that your characters won't stay where you tell them to, in fact its critical to beating several of the boss fights to keep your characters in the same spot. You can put them on hold and they will stay. Positioning is absolutely part of DA:2...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I think you need to play DA:2 again then. The gameplay in DA:2 is better than DA:O. The classes are better balanced (there is actually reason to play a melee!), positioning sure as shit does matter, in fact you could argue it matters more with melee AoE. The main complaint about the fights from...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Yeah but I don't get why it bothers someone that their mom could play DA:4 or whatever by just spamming one button, as long as there is good gameplay if you don't set it to "movie mode" or whatever. The problem with Ryse isn't that you can just spam one button and beat it (assuming the story...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    How is it watering down if you don't press that button though? The easy mode of pretty much ANY game is like that. What game isn't trivial on easy? The only difference was that this mode would let you not do any fights, vs being forced to do completely trivial fights on easy. If they want to...

    Bureau tried to copy ME2/ME3 gameplay but did an absolutely horrible botch of it. If DA2 or ME3 had the gameplay of that game, they would have been killed also.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Hodj, are you agreeing with the neckbeards or mocking them? I really hope mocking them, because saying shit like how interparty romance took away from good gameplay is just not true. You must know that totally different teams work on that shit. Do you really think the team working on balancing...

    Btw, thanks Big Phoenix for pointing out Cheat-o-matic. Got me back into ME3 multiplayer. Had maxed out the rares legit but maxing out the ultra-rares just made me quit. Used cheat-o-matic to get some ultra-rares and just spent a few hours killing shit in the multiplayer. The gaming group I was...

    Pretty much full of shit here. These are some of the most highly reviewed games of all time.

    The Current State of Vodka (or if you prefer all vodka comes from three distilleries)

    Well, I think the group's overall goal, of promoting breast feeding, is a good thing. I guess the only thing it could be is that there are some racist beliefs inherent in the issue, like them feeling it is "white" to breastfeed and they don't want to "act white", so by excluding white women...

    It is also very easy to get sucked into the mindset of always trying to maintain board control and not realizing that your spells that kill creatures can also finish someone off.

    Goddamn is arena amusing sometimes. Just went 9-0 with my druid deck I drafted last night. 3 swipes, 2 starfires, 2 wraths, 2 ssclerics, two keepers of the grove, 2 azure drakes and a shitload of efficient 2 and 3 creatures. Felt like a constructed deck that I accidentally queued for arena. I...

    Nah bro, you are the one that said you were irritated simply because people were excited about a game. Think about that for a second, I mean really stand back and consider what kind of person that makes you.

    If you don't think that young girls are pushed towards "princess" type shit, then we are just going to have to disagree on this. It is a constant thing, from barbie dolls, to the "damsel in distress" in movies, to diamond rings and "every kiss begins at Kay". That campaign directly runs counter...

    The Current State of Vodka (or if you prefer all vodka comes from three distilleries)

    I'm not sure what your point is? I don't care if 99% of women read books and 1% of men did. I would still want young girls to be encouraged to read, same with the boys. Now since you find smart women unattractive, I guess you disagree.

    The Current State of Vodka (or if you prefer all vodka comes from three distilleries)

    I think you are missing the context. "Acting smart" is reading a fucking book. That is the problem with the "princess" crap, people should be encouraging kids of any sex to read. Not discouraging it because its "acting smart". As nucky said...

It could have been just a dwarf mutation or something. However, looking at the wiki briefly just now, seems they...

    True. At the same time, the ME3 experience up until the end was fucking golden. I was completely immersed and loved facing the end of the world with my old "friends". The ending was bad, but the free "expanded ending" at least made it make some sense and was good enough for me. As far as...
