letting him join the wardens is the easy way 2 let hhim feel like hes atoned for his sins by joining the punishment ganfg, rather than facing & owning up 2 his crimes on an individual level stripped of the organisational redemption the grey wardens give him tbh

I haven't touched the Dragon Age series since I beat DA:O and got disappointed that I couldn't be a dwarf in DA2, but thanks to the Origin Access poo poo I've been playing through DA2 and decided to start DA:I for the gently caress of it. I've just done the Gunpowder quest in Act 2 of DA:2 but I want to try the newer game anyways.

I've never read anything about it and I haven't talked to anyone about it, so I have to ask, why the gently caress does my custom character look so loving GREASY? Like in character creation, the hair and beards look like poo poo and are super shiny and oily, and the character has like a sheen of sweat on them. I was able to turn lip shine off but my character now looks like they're out of shape and ran a marathon and ended up with chapped lips.

pls dont project ur 2017 ideals of beuty onto the greasy people of thedas

Dragon Age has to be the longest running game franchise where the company has no idea what to do with it and every sequel's dev cycle is a compromised shitshow. It's amazing any of these have been any good.

the brain drain at bioware has probably caused a sisyphean cycle of relearning mistakes & pain every time dragon age enters developemnt

Putting the Bioware name on Anthem is just baffling. I can't understand why they'd do it.

EA want to push Bioware brand name recognition before its completely used up & toxic af to compete against Bungie/Activision and crack the Destiny clone market

both bioware & bungie reputations are going to be burnt alive on the altar of forever-mmo-shooters tbh

Do folks really think DA4 might not get made? Aside from speculation because Anthem and Andromeda didn't set the world on fire, the DA series still has a great reputation and the trailer for DA4 was dropped not that long ago.

ea cant shut down bioware because a year ago thy hired a graphic desiner to make a new logo for the studio

dragon age is never ending bcause the games dont revolve around a primary protagonist like sheperd, the story is more about the world & different castS of characters

things from past games and characters will sumtimes be addressed but the series will just eventually stop being made instead of having a big cataclysmic end tbh

The side quests in the Witcher 3 are so good because the distinction line between the main quest and the side quests are blurred, and the production values are so insane that you will not realise you are doing a side quest unless you actively check your quest menu. A tower full of mice, The whole skellige chain quest, the one throw away quest where you get invited by a village notable to solve a hunting in a light house and can get jailed, and then get sent to the chieftains son to assist him in exploring a cave full of hallucinogenics, and you discover that his greatest fear is his dad and he pisses himself. Then afterwards you can run into a prison inmate you met when you where imprisoned and depending on your choices or not you could him a favor and he will drag you into another quest about honour. It is just crazy thinking about it. Also the Pellars quest where you discover his father is a patricide. The whole assassin of kings quest chain is a side quest while I thought it was a main quest. What about the quest where you help dandellion in opening a caberat , only for it to turn into a creepy murder mystery and your investigation can go wrong and you can blame the wrong suspect. This is all just stuff from memory as I played the game years ago. Just amazing meaty quests that you don't even encounter a single one of its calibre in any bio-ware game to date. I am not talking about the monster hunts as they are a category of their own.

yeah but cdprojekt was only abel to achiev this by crunching their workers 2 death sumthin bioware would never d
