Maybe, but it doesn't "look" like trollface to me, oh yes it's smugface, but I don't really see a trollface in it xDAWDMANOUT said:

Can I just say that it's really nice to have a contributor that participates in the forum discussion on a regular basis?
Anyways, I liked the comic, it summed up EA'S/Bioware's missteps nicely. I'm kind of surprised though that you didn't mention all the bugs that seriously interrupted game flow sometimes... My favorite: Merrill spoiling the end of her companion quest because her dialog got switched around.
Still, I couldn't put DA2 down until I finished it, Bioware knows how to write an engaging story. The connections to Origins were really disappointing though...

Oh thank whatever divine entity exists out there! I was worried that I was the only one who actually knew what this was referencing.Goldeneye103X2 said:
What's wrong with the community if it doesn't notice the lyrics to Fireman Sam, this is a condition that must be rectified.
Power to you, Good Sir!
I should note to people that there was NEVER SecureRom on the game. Ever. No versions had it. None. Nada. Ziltch.
It was just a registry key. That's it. No software, no executables.
Sheesh people.

It's not a bad game. I honestly am enjoying it far more than DA:O (I never even finished that game... just lost interest after Lothering). I like that the main character has a set personality depending on what dialogue choices you choose the most; like the troll mask responses makes Hawke more snarky/sarcastic, the peaceful responses make Hawke sound more wizened, the first makes him more aggressive sounding. I like the companions more in this game too, their motivations seem less nonsensical/vague. I like that whenever the party members have something new to say it shows up on my quest log. The combat is faster, especially for mages and you can still pause. People also griping about not having a strategic over the battle view are crazy. Just use the mousewheel and scroll all the way back and turn the camera to face down towards the floor. Also people tend to complain that you are always in the same town. That's how the story goes, broski. It's not a globe/continent spanning game. It's more like Arkham Asylum.
The game is a bit buggy, but all Bioware games are buggy on release. The ending is terribad and smells of EA trying to milk the franchise. It just stops! Other than that I don't have many complaints.
I say if you seem interested in the game, wait until the inevitable Ultimate edition that will come out a year from now with all the DLC and items and stuff. They caught me with DA:O, bloody game cost me an arm and a leg.
OT/: I like the elf flirting with the sheep. Also agreed that this has been a PR disaster, but no worse than what Ubisoft or Activision have done in the recent past. I think they'll survive this.

ew. i couldn't watch half of that crappy documentary. sure, it may have some facts, but when the humor is sarcastic dry and it looks so damn cheap... it just puts me off. then again, i was being cheap myself by streaming on the ps from netflix...Ajna said:

DAMN. these bioware dudes better get some PR outsider to help 'em out. cuz if they keep shitting themselves in front of the public, SWTOR might not sell as much.
it's still a day one purchase for me but... jeez, they really should tone down on the assholery.

I totally understand not liking the humor. I didn't like it myself. Note that the cheapness is probably not intended in the least. Documentaries challenging Super Size Me don't tend to be popular enough to get money from other sources. It lets up after a while on the dry humor at least, and delves more into the facts though, so stick with it.
And I streamed it on my 360 with Netflix, so I don't think streaming is an issue.
I am assuming you are pretentious because nothing about my observation would point to that.Zeetchmen said:
