Dragon Age 2

[Crroatian]

only 3 choices in dialogs???

Cut scenes with 1 shot kills.


this game is going to hell and worse!

Cut scenes with kills existed in the first DA...

you mean like with Zevran.

I don't mean that , they've said that they would kill an entire group of orcs with that option.

example , you have a witch friend that could cast fireball , if you pick her she fries those orcs.
and if you pick yourself (if you're a warrior) you could solo kill them all

 

[HTAPAWASO]

Ah I see.

The one I remember from DA was in the tavern where you met the red-haired chick - there was a dialogue option to kill the guards, or you could fight them.

 

[Evilknightz]

Remember that the low res models are early concepts guys.

Was there?

I believe so...

 

[Rabid Potatoe]

I didnt think there was any way out of fighting them (other than letting them go after you'd beaten the leader.)

It doesn't even have to do with how bad it looks from a technical standpoint but from an artistic standpoint. I'm genuinely stunned that Bioware was able to take a game that was, visually, the epitome of generic fantasy and make it worse. I think we all must have fallen into an alternate reality, because I really don't see how Bioware was able to go from Baldur's Gate II, a game that still looks appealing a decade later, to this.

And some of the Whos down in Whoville say
That Gobblecoque's nostalgia filter grew THREE sizes that day

 

[Kamos32]

They still look retarded.

 

[CJ1145]

Many art styles look retarded. Looking for Group's, for example

And yet, if the story, gameplay, and other elements work well, you just don't care.

 

[Rabid Potatoe]

Well they claim that they've pimped out their lighting engine, so who knows, it might magic some of the ugly away.

 

[Archonsod]

Baldur's Gate II, a game that still looks appealing a decade later

Not for those who've changed their monitor / graphics card in the space of that decade, no.

Actually, the first time I played Baldur's gate II was a year ago.

Not for those who've changed their monitor / graphics card in the space of that decade, no.

I didn't even own a PC when BGII came out, and wouldn't for several more years. Funny that.

The widescreen mod mostly fixes that.

 

[Archonsod]

Does **** all for the Ray Harryhausen style jerky animation though, or the depressing "mostly brown" theme.

 

[Kamos32]

I dunno I still think Baldur's Gate looks good even with it's outdated flaws.

Many art styles look retarded. Looking for Group's, for example

And yet, if the story, gameplay, and other elements work well, you just don't care.

While I disagree about Looking For Groups artstyle I will agree that ugly it can be overpowered by the more important elements, doesn't mean I still can't ***** about it .

First gameplay footage I've seen.

 

[Troll]

"We've got an assassin..."

One using a giant two handed axe.

But really, can't say much from that, other than that it seems to be in quite an early stage.

Indeed it is early.

 

[Devercia]

Assassin need not imply stealth.
