Having Anders get pissed at you when you won't sleep with him is stupid. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 04/04/2011 01:35:58 AM
But it would be stupid regardless of sexuality. The fact that it's a gay relationship sparks people's retard drive, and so you have this huge shitstorm. Nobody would have given a damn if Anders were a chick; they'd just categorize her a slut and move on.

such a large constituent of their players are women and all we want is some relationship (platonic or romantic) building and plot depth.

You must be very disappointed.

I think the OP is full of shit. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:23:28 AM 847 Views

I'm not disappointed much, but that's because I had low standards LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:47:22 AM 801 Views
I must say, my BGII character is a woman... Legolas - 04/04/2011 10:18:46 PM 777 Views
yah, definitely. that's pretty much WHY I have low romance standards LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 11:58:50 PM 762 Views

If that dude wasn't into Merrill, than he's a fag. *NM* Dan - 04/04/2011 01:28:55 AM 512 Views
They're neglecting the gamer demographic in DA2. Sexuality has nothing to do with it. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 01:33:45 AM 793 Views
yah they were pretty empty. The only reason I'm not irritated is that at least they're completed. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:50:54 AM 826 Views
Don't worry; you'll be able to get it as overpriced DLC installments! *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 03:03:24 AM 374 Views
YES!!! That just makes me feel so much better!!! *NM* LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 03:34:12 AM 333 Views

So, not a fan? Dannymac - 04/04/2011 06:15:21 AM 875 Views
No. I haven't even finished because I'm so bored. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 08:49:14 AM 808 Views
They could have done a LOT more with all the in-city strife. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 02:32:11 PM 783 Views
I don't feel bad paying for it, solely cause I never paid for DA1 *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 04/04/2011 10:01:43 PM 426 Views

As far as excuses for developer laziness go, that's a pretty poor one. Ghavrel - 10/04/2011 12:02:23 AM 731 Views
Yah this is what I was talking about. The repeat of tunnel systems in totally unrelated areas. *NM* LadyLorraine - 10/04/2011 05:32:11 PM 345 Views
It's not an excuse. Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:36:45 PM 819 Views
Re: It's not an excuse. Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 07:06:11 PM 771 Views
No, it's not that they keep coming... LadyLorraine - 10/04/2011 05:38:30 PM 750 Views

...did you even read my main post in this thread? Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 07:08:31 PM 770 Views
It's not like I said they broke the game for me LadyLorraine - 11/04/2011 07:40:23 PM 847 Views
Something I wonder then: Why is it called Dragon Age "2"? Zalis - 04/04/2011 03:06:46 PM 805 Views
Pretty much. EA likes to churn out franchises. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 07:41:57 PM 345 Views
Huh? Dannymac - 08/04/2011 04:59:49 PM 818 Views
Penny Arcade had a good post on this topic recently beetnemesis - 09/04/2011 09:39:21 PM 1217 Views
Point of fact: in DA: O you're fighting the Fifth Blight, not the First. Ghavrel - 09/04/2011 10:10:17 PM 885 Views
Yeah seriously, the Fifth Blight was pretty lame in retrospect beetnemesis - 11/04/2011 04:01:03 AM 792 Views
That's pretty much true. Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 04:08:48 AM 748 Views
Wow, yeah, you're right. Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:43:40 PM 822 Views
I've actually liked the combat in most Bioware games beetnemesis - 04/04/2011 10:46:12 PM 885 Views
I think the fact that most NPC possibilities go either way is kind of weird. Zalis - 04/04/2011 05:41:04 AM 928 Views
Zevran was really the main one that would hit on you no matter what. Kronin al'Sulc - 04/04/2011 06:13:04 AM 969 Views
saying Zevran is kind of a slut... LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 06:14:54 AM 750 Views
On a general note, what annoys me... Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2011 07:19:32 AM 768 Views
In fairness to Bioware, in this game you get different bonuses for "rivalry." *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 08:50:29 AM 370 Views
Oh, that's nice. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2011 09:45:21 PM 779 Views
I will let you know when the game comes down to less than 20 bucks... MightyYT - 04/04/2011 07:50:06 AM 742 Views
Yea, the times I do play this game just gives me a longing for DA *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 04/04/2011 09:58:03 PM 439 Views
That's just bullshit Fox and Ravens - 04/04/2011 06:42:14 PM 760 Views
i bet he still initiated all his romances Foxhead - 05/04/2011 10:42:40 PM 779 Views
