Could make an entire game about the story of just one throwaway background character. Probably be a better game.

OT: This was pretty good. I remember running into that datapad the first time and remembering the krogan and the asari back in ME2, and I went "Aw damn."
Well, okay, they didn't specifically make a game about a background character. But 2 did set it up that Hawke's family was from Lothering and they needed to run away after the Blight took it during the events of Origins.itsthesheppy said:Hawke was a background character in DA1?shrekfan246 said:They did.

Well, it didn't help that the game was made terribly. The plot was badly structured (there was no reason for Hawke to remain in the city after a certain point before the third act) and the game's mechanics and environments were poorly put together.shrekfan246 said:Well, okay, they didn't specifically make a game about a background character.

My point was more that they decided to make a character-driven story about the life and times of Hawke and companions instead of yet another boring "Save the world" stock plot, and (without getting into a discussion about what it did actually do wrong) the fans absolutely despised it.
The reason DAII fails as a character driven piece is that all the characters besides Varric are terrible.shrekfan246 said:Well, okay, they didn't specifically make a game about a background character.

she's not evil in ME3nyysjan said:Not only does Char die, but this as well?personion said:(you save the rachni queen, she's evil, you kill the rachni queen, there's another rachni queen)
With every bit of information i learn of ME3, i become gladder and gladder i did not buy it.
Complete coincidence. The strip was finished about a month back, and it was actually supposed to go live yesterday.Jack and Calumon said:Damn, that was good. Like really good. Reminds me of the good times of Mass Effect, times where I cared about what I was doing, where I was pumped to fight the good fight. Those moments are what makes Mass Effect 3 so far the best game that's come out this year for me.
But damn, I hate that ending.
Speaking of which, did you guys purposely tie in your comic to hit when Bioware announces the date for the Extended Cut, or is it just an amazing coincidence? I know it's unofficial, but man, what a coincidence, if so.
If their is a PR Ninja lady at your door, keep cool. I understand.
Calumon: Is that when everyone is going to start complaining again? : (
