Interest....piqued

The blood. So much blood.

PS: I know that the game was like that.

As gratuitous as it is, it's become a staple for the series. Personally, I find it annoying. Makes the experience feel cheap.

Me too. I turned it off ASAP. It caused this huge disconnect for me...I just sat there thinking "How can these people I'm talking to take me seriously when I look like this?"

If I was covered in blood and standing in front of you, I'm pretty sure you would hang on my every word. *awesome face* I personally found it disturbing to be covered in blood and talking romance with somebody. XD

Noooo, it makers the experience seem rather realistic. Of course you would have blood splattered on your armor and parts of your body after fighting twenty guys! (Especially in DA2 where your opponents have a tendency to literary explode into a fog of smoke and guts), what makes the experience feel cheap is that it is there one cut-scene, and the very next (half a minute later), everything is gone.

While I can barely make out what you just said, I thought we abandoned realism when a sword strike causes someone to pop like a water balloon, as oppose to being chopped in half.

I'm sorry, should I have phrased myself differently?
In Fantasy, one can never be truly realistic, but one can strive. But I guess that if the laws of physics allow you to pop people like balloons with your sword, they could allow for magically disappearing blood.

Actually, I know there's barely anything to go on, but... That looks kinda fun. And you can certain spotted the dedicated fans there. Could be worth looking into.

i don't see hordes of enemies spawning out of nowhere and they're not making some 20ft ninja moves, so it can't be close to the game...

btw Cutting through your enemy with a sword is not going to happen when your foe has even the slightest armor but a broken collar bone takes him out of combat just fine

From what I've gotten, the acting is beyond horrible - always a pain with fanmade films. You can build the costumes with either a lot of time or some good friends, you can snag decent locations with ease, you can train yourself to fight-act to a degree where you don't look ridiculous... but acting is almost entirely natural, hence the problem all fanmade films have.

Remember when the Qunari looked normal?

So Dragon Age is now the "poor man's" Spartacus?

Disappearing blood is in all games that allow blood. That just a technical thing. It's the "blood on face during (casual) conversations" that are just silly. It's the disconnect between a bloody battle and going back to talking about curtains that's off-putting.

Edit: And your last post was so grammatically irritating on my eyes, I couldn't read it. I'm sure you were rushing to write it out. Second post is better, though.

 

[Cenequus]

I hate this people that actually do something about the things they love. Why do they have to make Dragon Age web series they are ruining the game...*sarcasm*

 

[Animyr]

Another one? Really?

 

[Ralen-Sharr]

one thing that always bugs me about a lot of films that feature swordplay
lack of an off-hand item, be it a shield, dagger, another sword, ANYTHING.
this trailer has more armor and shields than you see in half the crap that hits movie theaters

I get tired of seeing "random guy in a tabbard running around with only a 1 handed sword" that so many films crap out.

looking forward to this when it's done
