I sort of get where Bob is coming from in his argument; even though it seems kind of hypocritical that he chose to address who he thinks as 'entitled whiners', by getting on the internet and whining about it. An artistic vision should not be made to fit some generic idea of what the public...

I don't see what you attribute as 'dishonesty' in my statement. I think I was perfectly clear in my own motivations, and made no effort to alter or obfuscate them. The accusation of dishonesty is an ad hominem fallacy; an attempt dismiss our ideas by attributing a negative quality to us as...

OK, by examining the posts in this thread I have worked out that most posters can be lumped into one of two possible groups. Group A: People with too much time on there hands, who have decided to go on the internet and whine about how the ending of a video game didn't meet their expectations...

I don't think anyone has announced that they're speaking for the whole community. If anything they are speaking to the entire community; airing their grievances towards a disappointing game to the wider gaming public. I don't think any single poster has actually claimed to be speaking for...

I'm starting to hate all the "I hate all this DA2 bashing" whining. I mean it's pretty clear what the thread was about, and yet you're all here anyway complaining about being forced to read all these dissatisfied comments like someone is holding you at gunpoint. To my mind it's like finding a...

My Personal favourite: I'm something of an Inon Zur fanboy. I also loved the 50's music used in fallout 3 and New Vegas, it really added to the immersion of the games.

Maybe not good or evil exactly; perhaps more like liberal or conservative, idealist or pragmatist, nice guy or jackass. Regardless of what you call it, you're pigeon holed into one of two possible choices with no real wiggle room between the two. Granted this is not unique to Mass Effect, most...

While it is possible that I'm being premature in my judgement, it seems unlikely to me that Bioware would hand pick these conversations to showcase in their demo if they had so many better ones just lying around; from a marketing standpoint it doesn't make much sense. While there may be better...

While I was playing the demo for DA2, one of the things I was most interested in was the change in the conversation mechanics compared to Origins. I must say I was slightly disappointed by what little I saw in the demo. I'm the type of person who goes for the comedic option every time, so...

I'm not so concerned with the mechanics of Flemeth's change; given the fantasy setting of DA2 there are probably numerous explanations for it. I'm more concerned in whether the change in appearance is true to the character that we were introduced to in Origins. It is out of character for Flemeth...

I understand that is a viable explanation for the change; the true extent of Flemeths power was left ambiguous so she could conceivably be able to alter her human form (Even though Morrigan specifically tells you it is not possible to shapeshift into different human forms). I just think it's...

When I first saw this thread I thought it would be all about how Flemeth looks so different in the demo compared to Origins. I'm actually a little confused now as to what it's actually about; Flemeth could and did turn into a High Dragon in Origins (if the player sided with Morrigan). Am I...
