Rumor: PC Features Cut From Dragon Age 2

[Soviet Heavy]

Note to ignorant people. You do not have to be a PC Elitist to play a fucking mod. So stop bunching all mod users in with elitists.

Well, I guess I'm not too bothered since I only used a mod to get rid of the helmets, but still... it feels like Bioware is putting less effort into this than other games.
But, I'll hold on, wait it out, and see. I've loved pretty much every other Bioware game I've played, so this should be fine, right?

Right?

Pc people should stop being cry babies. There's not the support you want because not enough of you actually bought the game. Console people did. You are not a priority anymore.

It sucks but, well, the alternative is fairly obvious if you want this kind of behavious to change.

End of story.

Yep. Should motion controls take hold of consoles, the resulting tide of shovelware should mean that PCs will return to their former glory (or at least the consoles will be barren wastelands).

That or the consumer slaves that buy everything marketing tells them to buy switch in an instant and start bitching about "controller elitists" everytime somebody calls them out on being brainless sheep.

Err.....why drop stuff thats basically already in the project, or so minuscule and easy to do that they could do it but their to console snob to do it?

I swear you put more features in a AAA not less...... I am glad I didn't buy dragon age now but held off since it was a bit half assed but this is the cake that is no lie......

PC gaming is alive and well (and better than ever from a sales stand point) its just not supported by mainstream supposedly AAA developers anymore as AAA developers can;t make anythign right anymore because of the hands up their rear to causalize and cut out things.......

LOTR rip-off? What did they rip off? I saw nothing that was anything like LOTR, maybe the darkspawn looked like orcs but so does my mother in the morning.

Sigh. Do I really need to spell it out?
Okay...

Sauron The Archdemon and his army of orcs darkspawn attempt to take over Middle Earth Ferelden. The Fellowship of the Ring Grey Wardens band together to defeat the oncoming threat.

Meanwhile, Denethor, a man of great of great will, foresight and strength Loghain, a man of great of great will, foresight and strength vies to control Middle Earth Ferelden. However, the true King Aragorn Allistair, reluctant to take the throne, is out battling the evil forces, as part of the Fellowship Grey Wardens. Eventually, Aragorn Allistair ascends the throne.

Yeah, it's not an LOTR rip-off at all.

EDIT: The game even comes with a tribe of xenophobic elves...

I thought they did well with mixing the fiction up, the characters and even the story are solid enough a shame the game falls apart due to half assed wankery(on the rails,wonky skill layouts iffy classses)...

Wait, March 2011? Bioware you BASTARDS! That's like a month before SWtOR comes out, and it's smack dab in the middle of spring semester.....I hate you, I hate you all.

 

[Irridium]

Oh, and Bioware, remember when you said developers should move away from consoles [http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2010/jul/14/bioware-greg-zeschuk-develop]?

Or were you just kidding?

 

[vivalahelvig]

So... is it going to be some kinda Fable clone? That would hurt me. Really.
And no mods...
What the FUck wer they Thinking?

Your avatar goes so well with your post.

OT: The mod community is the only reason people will keep playing the game after they get finished, taking that out makes people less likely to tell others to buy it because it may get boring later.

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

Oh no.

Oh no.

OH NO.

Sigh, I'm finding it harder and harder to maintain my enthusiasm for this game. I hope this isn't true, I really do, because I love Bioware, and I haven't disliked any of their games yet, and I'd like to keep it that way.

Well, hopefully what Laidlaw was saying was true and not just PR bullshit. I really hope so.

No offense to any console users at all, I just prefer it on PC, and I'd like to play it as a PC game, not as a console port. I really didn't like the way DA:O played on consoles. Nothing wrong with it really, it just didn't suit me. Bioware have always been good at making games suit each platform, so I hope that trend continues.

AH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHS.

Sorry, the oh no thing just reminded me of that.

OT: I really enjoyed Dragon Age on PC so this is a massive bummer for me, and this is the one thing Bioware has done so far to piss me off.

Valve hasn't done anything wrong yet though.

A gaming vault.... i want it!!

It's like Vault 101 except full of PS3s, XBOXs, PCs, Hand Helds, SNES's, NES's, Mega Drives, PS2s and PS1s, Gamecubes and N64s....

And there's no overseer.

 

[aarontg]

Dropping mod support feels like a stupid move, and why are they dropping an optional combat tactic that could have only appealed to players who use it?

And then you ruin it all by telling me you can only get them in narnia

Ladies and gentleman. I believe I know what is happening. Bobby Kotick is expanding his territory. We must kill him. Quickly.
