Coincidentally it was also peak Bioware, it only went downhill afterwards

>gay romance
Bioware was already pozzed even back then huh
And morons like you still wouldn’t shut up but at least back then you were still confined to tv land with the rest of the conservatives. Fox News called mass effect a sex simulator back then, Ganker calls bg3 a sex simulator now. Time does make things strange.
>Fox News called mass effect a sex simulator back then, Ganker calls bg3 a sex simulator now.
Except ME was made for normal people, while BG3 wasn't
Homossexual normalization is a woke cause in itself. The current state of affairs is a slipery-slope of that.
Games like DA Origin paved the way for the mandatory gay troony homosexualry we see in every RPG now.
They giving you straight romance with hot girls was merely compromise on their part in order to further their agenda.
>The current state of affairs is a slipery-slope of that.
Yeah, but that backtracks long before that, with stuff like the end of segregation and female suffrage
We're judging things is they were, not by what they helped paved way
Damn you guys defending slavery now.
Gay romance for the gays
Sweet straight romance for the rest of us
win-win
It's alright when it's small and sideral
Kotor had a gay romance too
As did Fallout 2
It's fine when
>not every romance is bisexual
>there are more options for straight romances than gay ones
>lesbian romance options are designed to tittilate a straight audience rather than appeal to exclusively obese butch activists
Dragon Age 2 was the beginning of the end for romance in western games, even if Isabella and Merril and femHawke were still hot.
I really liked Wynne's cool grandma energy. Shame she wasn't romanceable, I'd plap that hagussy all day.
Get in the sodding line
Morrigan is cute. CUTE
>as a kid i loved cute bubbly redheads
>now i prefer goth i can fix her types
What the frick happened to me
You let twitter prostitutes make you moronic
Oghren was garbage
Killed elf because he tried to kill me.
Killed grandma without knowing she was recrutable.
Left orc in cage because he looked like he deserved it.
Forgot golem exists.
Yeah, memorable.
>act like a moron
>surprised the game turns to shit
How is killing a threats or not recruiting characters I don't like being a moron.
Don't bother trying to argue with biodrones, no bioware game has ever gone above average in quality. DAO was railroaded slop and okay at best, but many consoomers worship it and similarly not completely awful games because the rest of the industry has crashed through the rock bottom and is about to collide with the planet's core.
Name good games
Nwn 2 mask of betrayer
If I were to do that - you would have a biodrone meltdown and attempt to lock me into a 7 hours nonstop "argument" that will eventually devolve into swapping unflattering images that imply the other person looking like this and saying this.
I accept your concession then
I did not start an argument with you. There is nothing to concede.
I'm not a cat person. Tell you this - finde a fennec or a ferret and I'll share a game that I believe to be a better RPG than DAO with you.
Alright, what about this skeptic looking fella
Alright, this will do.
New Vegas is a better RPG.
>inb4 half the thread goes REEEEEEEEEEEEE
New Vegas is a superior RPG by virtue of having far more choices that lead to actual outcomes and allow you to roleplay a FAR wider variety of personalities. In DAO if you are a city elf that doesn't want to get married you cross your arms and make a frown and say "Ugh, I'll get married, I GUESS".
In New Vegas if you don't want to do something - you can just refuse to do it or even kill whoever is trying to force you to. Hell, you even could tell Elijah in Dead Money to go frick himself after he threatened to detonate your collar and he just kills you. In DAO you are but a puppet of the higher powers being strung along a linear path with like 2 actual choices per chapter and the rest being a more advanced version of Fallout 4 dialog where you either say Yes, or Yes but sarcastic, or No but actually just passive aggressive Yes.
>In DAO if you are a city elf that doesn't want to get married you cross your arms and make a frown and say "Ugh, I'll get married, I GUESS".
>In New Vegas if you don't want to do something - you can just refuse to do it or even kill whoever is trying to force you to
You're hinging this argument on linearity, which isn't entirely unmeritous but there is obligatory elements in New Vegas too. You can't just walk away from the Mojave, you either have to getr involved or do nothing, same thing with the marriage in DAO
>you are but a puppet of the higher powers being strung along a linear path with like 2 actual choices per chapter and the rest being a more advanced version of Fallout 4 dialog where you either say Yes, or Yes but sarcastic, or No but actually just passive aggressive Yes.
None of that is true. Every main quest has it's own choice, sometimes a compromise and there's dozens of little choices in every quest that are referenced later in the game itself or the epilogue, which NV doesn't do.
And the dialogue is usually full of options to encompass broader personalities, add in the Origins and you're allowed a more defined personality and history for your character than NV
I am not here for biodrone cope arguments. A lad asked for my opinion and paid for it with a fennec. You did nothing to entice me.
>I am not here for arguments
Okay then.
>I did not start an argument with you
But you did
This is not a correct assertion
It is.
You cannot name better games despite claiming this a bad one, how can one trust your opinion on anything if all you have is contrarianism
I did not expect or demand your trust. I am indifferent to what opinions you hold of me or my input. I did not start an argument with you.
>I did not start an argument with you.
Indeed, you ran away from one
I am still here. Running away implies rellocation. I simply refused your argument.
>I simply refused your argument
By running away
>Running away implies rellocation
It doesn't, you can just hide behind a door
>By running away
I am still here.
>It doesn't, you can just hide behind a door
That's called hiding, not running.
You are trying to rope me into an argument about semantics of you being wrong. I'm not gonna talk to you anymore.
>literally just no u
I accept your concession, low IQ homo. No (you)s for you anymore, you lost.
>I am still here.
Yes. Still not arguing
>That's called hiding, not running.
You ran way to hide behind the door
>You are trying to rope me into an argument about semantics of you being wrong. I'm not gonna talk to you anymore.
And I accept you concession
>I accept your concession
Yes, I concede that you are a homosexual
>low IQ homo. No (you)s for you anymore, you lost.
Then why are you a malding a homosexual?
I'm not that anon but also interested in seeing which games you think are better.
However I trade in cat images
>no bioware game has ever gone above average in quality
Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 are among the best in the genre, what are you on about?
>How is killing a threats or not recruiting characters I don't like being a moron.
It's the same reason why I'll run off on some random gays errand to get a flower in a game but avoid the psycho that would make that request in real life. It's not real, I know its a game and I'm looking to experience the most content possible. But sure, continue to be a huge fricking moron that doesn't understand this.
>be an idiot who doesn't talk to anyone
>wtf why don't I remember anything
>can’t self insert in a role playing game
Horseshit
>can't remember characters you haven't interacted with
no way
I killed the old woman when she went crazy for the ashes and the elf rebelled after I let him live, so I exterminated him too.
This game was lame and forgettable. I for sucked into ME and played that through like 8 times (before 3) but I only played Origins once. The gameplay itself sucked in Origins. Felt like a boring chore.
It has ugly as shit brown artstyle and the gameplay is the most basic and boring cRPG shit out there.
It also is blatantly unfinished/rushed. I expected more from the initial trailers and teasers. The City Elf art unironically sold me on the game and i expected more of that.
>It has ugly as shit brown artstyle
Still wish it’d turned out more like the trailers, 2 and Inquisition are mildly better but only just
>2 and Inquisition are mildly better but only just
Lol
>2 and Inquisition are mildly better
If you're a blind homosexual, sure
>gameplay is the most basic and boring cRPG shit out there
Have you played crpgs? DAO gameplay may be serviceable at best but it still mogs the frick out of this dogshit genre by a country mile.
Female city elf was the best origin. All it lacked was the full 30 minute elf girl rape scene, but oh well. Need to appease the ESRB overlords.
>It has ugly as shit brown artstyle
As much as I genuinely like DAO, the area design is incredibly bland and all mage/rogue armor looks ugly as sin.
Not enough trans representation.
It’s bad enough they did this at all but retconning Qunari lore alongside it was just icing on the cake. Sure we can pretend “Iron Bull’s Qun title translates literally as liar” but we all know that’s not what the devs meant and they aren’t gonna backpedal on it now even if they wanted to
Exactly! Trans folx keep winning.
I remember that !notImoen character was completely scuffed.
Stan was boring.
Don't remember anything at all about the dwarf, greedy israelite from BG1 or madlad berserker from BG2 were way more memorable.
The rest were bretty good.
Sex with Alistair
If that remake is real they better not turn him gay!!
why does sten look like that
homie got retconned in the family photo
I don't like it. They did him dirty.
the original design is racist
I don't see how him being a cool stoic brown guy is more racist than turning him into one of the bull people.
But then I don't like the Qunari design from DA2 onwards anyway.
I killed the dog companion in the beginning without even knowing he was recruitable because I fricking hate shitbulls
Really dont understand why bioware is having constant threads reminding us of their old games. Yes, i love mass effect and dragon age, origins at least, but no i wont buy any of your new trash.
Mind-blowing how bioware failed mass effect. As francaise and as sci-fi adventure. You could do so much with it. Smaller adventure that takes place in omega style mining station where shit goes sideways and you have to escape to galaxy wide space adventure like first game. And anything in between.
But nah. Let's do nothing
>Mind-blowing how bioware failed mass effect
They failed DA harder. At least with ME they tripped over the finishing line but still managed to end the race
DA is franchise with a single good game in it
Dragon age is less flexible and sci-fi rpg adventures was free to be taken by them. In theory mass effect games should have been easier to make. Becouse core gameplay is cover shooter.
But yes. They could had rpg genre by balls if they didn't fail 2 and 3
>They could had rpg genre by balls if they didn't fail 2 and 3
I don't think anyone involved in Origins still works there, but imagine if there was. The sheer seethe it must cause this individual, who saw the franchise peak in its very first game and then decided to chase trends and virtue signal instead of making a good cRPG, only to fail and crash while Larian basically makes a spiritual successor or your peak game and rakes in the cash
You can see what their reaction would be by looking at obsidian guy having breakdown over bg3.
Ah yes, Sawyer crying and pissing on Twitter was great
>Larian basically makes a spiritual successor or your peak game and rakes in the cash
Gay porn and meme raked the cash, and nothing else. It happens. Don't sell it as anything worthy
>Gay porn and meme raked the cash
Don't be silly
BG3 has normie appeal, some of my most casual friends, the kind that get filtered old TW games played in liked it
It's not just dag pandering (which doesn't work for sales) and memes
Nah.
Meme and controversy turned it into one of those "events" you can't miss out.
Like the Joker movie, that for weeks became the most important movie, a life changing moment to many many normies.
I applaud the marketing strategy and envy their lightning-in-a-bottle luck, but that's all.
What meme and controversy? Normalgays like you were saying BG3 is literal who niche game and that it would be completely forgotten by the time Starfield comes out.
>What meme and controversy?
lol
promotional material exists specifically to inform you about the product.
What controversy?
lol
Your entire opinion about the game comes from shitposts on Ganker. I doubt you have even seen the gameplay since it's rarely ever posted here. You probably believe the entire game is unironic visual novel gay bear sex dating sim for woke degenerates.
Why even argue at the start if all you wanted was shitpost
>Meme and controversy
What controversy? The Bear thing? C'mon.
Mass Effect had FoxNews in an uproar over "gay sex space simulator", this was nothing. If you have normie friends that played ask them about it, most don't even know about the bear thing
Same reason sw failed. In theory, you can do literally anything, but in practice fans want only one thing. That doesnt excuse them from being shit though
But they didn't do anything. That's the thing. They did trilogy. Then tried to re do it with new game. But poorly.
People were begging anything related to mass effect before 3 came out. And even with how ending went. People would have taken new mass effect. But bioware dropped ball massively. And eventually when they did something it was same shit but worse.
DAO > Reddit > Resetera = BG3 > DA2 = DA3
Ruined rpg by making them coomer games. But writing was on wall since bg2
it has gay characters in it so it's woke and you can't like it
A game that caters to normal people and has one non intrusive homosexual is ok.
A game that caters to alphabet people and has barely any normal shit in it is not ok.
That is also when dialog started to become millennial full of sarcasm and cape-shit quibs.

>Are there commands to edit characters midgame or do i have to start over
There's a mod that imports faces on Nexus
I have started Dragon Age several times but never finished it. It's very forgeable.
It’s better than bg3 but the best wrpg is mass effect. Looking back at dragon age I see a lot of bloat in terms of writing. I get bored talking to npcs. But obviously better than anything recent.
>the best wrpg is mass effect
You cannot logically hold that position.
Absolutely not.
Bioware themselves has made better RPGs than this.
I don’t agree. I personally was drawn to bioware for their rpgs and unique settings. Ive tried both bg1 and 2 but the setting of forgotten realms is just so uninteresting that I can’t immerse myself or feel the reason to care about what is happening in the game. The setting isn’t just generic it’s that it feels so random. It’s just every single fantasy element jammed into a generic world. I can’t get into them.
Then you're biased, and got filtered.
Congratulations.
Now shut the frick up.
I don’t think disliking forgotten realms is being biased. I see real problems with that sort of setting and is why I don’t like many crpgs as they either use that setting or something way too similar to it.
>I see real problems with that sort of setting
>I don't like fantasy RPGs, therefore fantasy is bad
No. I'm not gonna hear this, from a random brainlet on the internet that has no idea what they are talking about. Mass Effect, as an RPG, is a 7/10 RPG. It does other things, unrelated to it being a good RPG, that make it an 8/10 game, and that's the best I can say for it.
ME2 is a better RPG, than ME1.
More interesting characters, better dialogue, better dialogue options, and consequences to your actions.
None of the things you do in ME1 matter.
You got duped by a skybox, some sand, and a glowy red squid thinking you're not its pet.
I like fantasy rpgs but the forgotten realms is the most uninspired setting that I just can’t be bothered to care if a game takes place there
I don't fricking believe you at this point.
Just shut up.
>ME2 is a better RPG, than ME1.
>More interesting characters, better dialogue, better dialogue options, and consequences to your actions.
>None of the things you do in ME1 matter.
no
>no
You can shut up, too.
You ME1 fanboys are downright delusional at this point.
ME1 is the only good one, contrarian, The only thing the 2nd one improved was the combat
Cope.
The gay defense force is here, I see.
> You probably believe the entire game is unironic visual novel gay bear sex dating sim for woke degenerates.
I believe that a game made for normal people doesn't pander to alphabets and doesn't cater to the queer gaze. And a good game doesn't have millennial writing and doesnt have uggos
>The gay defense force is here
Bro, ME2 is the last, and arguably most hot blooded, high T game Bioware ever made, or will ever make. You have exactly 0 gays coming on to you.
The reason why you can't make a single coherent argument and sound like a complete idiot is because you don't actually know anything about the game.
Already been there. You can dismiss arguments all you want, but the game is still gross to look, play and listen to, if you are normal and not a FOMO.
It was a lucky maneuver, it made money despite the content. Good for them.
Move on.
>I believe that a game made for normal people doesn't pander to alphabets and doesn't cater to the queer gaze
But normies pander to gays, what are you talking about?
Mentally ill alienated normies do that.
Not exactly a sound point
>Mentally ill alienated normies do that

Lol
Dude, it's not pandering when you cater to normal people, aka 99% of audience. Deal with it.
There is no hypocrisy from me.
>it's not pandering when you cater to normal people
And normal people pander to homosexuals, as I have demonstrated
Unless you want to cope some more about gay marriage not being pandering to homosexuals
>says me1 is the only good one
>calls others contrarian
lol lmao even
its objectively the worst one in the trilogy
t. contrarian
It aged like milk, its good, but its flaws are even more apparent with age
Which game ages like milk, dragon age or mass effect. Because I think mass effect has aged really well the entire trilogy despite the problems with the sequels still hold up well. So much of mass effect was driven by its party member interactions and mass effect did that better than any other bioware game.
Mass effect, the first one at least. There really isnt that much character interactions, at best they might give out a line or two during quests, and even then most of those lines arent tied to a specific character. The dialogue they have back on board is pretty shallow, tali is barely a character. It was great for its time, but playing it now it leaves a lot to be desired.
t. currently replaying the trilogy and in the middle of 2
I played DAO for the first time a month before BG3's full release, so I can say that I'm not blinded by nostalgia like some others may be. That being said, I thought Dragon Age was an amazing game, but in terms of being memorable characters...
>Zevran
>drunken dwarf guy
>golem
>dog
>stoic giant
Not very memorable. Honestly, the only party member I found memorable was Morrigan, and to a lesser extent Alistair then Lelianna. Wynn was in this strange zone where I liked the concept of her character but not her character herself. I unironically found Loghain to be more interesting than the party members in greentext above.
I'm going to catch flak for this, but I honestly think that BG3 had more memorable party members, inter-party dialogue, and camp banter (with the exception of Lelianna singing and some Morrigan/Allistair interactions) than DAO did. The only party members I found to be pretty forgettable in BG3 were Gale who was kind of lame, and the two druid fricks shoehorned in at the halfway point.
>inb4 gay romance
I don't really care. Both games had that shit and it wasn't such a big deal to me.
The core thing bg 3 is missing is the friend archetype, someone like alistair or garrus. Gale would have been great if he wasnt trying to frick you at every point and wyll is just bland. Its missing the character to tie it all together for me.
They're about the same with waifus
The DAO characters are a lot less frontloaded. Zevran and Oghren in particular only stop being surface stereotypes when you get to know them and their backstory, which usually takes approval to unlock
>Sten and Dog
Dog is a dog man, I dunno what you were expecting
And Sten you either like him or don't
>I'm going to catch flak for this, but I honestly think that BG3 had more memorable party members, inter-party dialogue, and camp banter (with the exception of Lelianna singing and some Morrigan/Allistair interactions) than DAO did.

They are ugly gay milleennials. All of them. How the frick can someone find them memorable? let alone good
>How the frick can someone find them memorable? let alone good
Maybe play the game and find out?
Maybe cater to normal people next time?
How would you know if you haven't played the game?
I think dragon age origins is very good compared to other wrpgs but I think it actually is very overrated. The game has a lot in it and so I think people just ignore all the bad parts. One aspect is that I think that they put a lot of writing in this game way more than most of their other games and a lot of it is just boring. So many npcs youll meet will be boring. I can think of going to denerim markets and how it’s all very bland in art and the people you will meet there. This is common in other places too. Npcs don’t really stand out in any good way. Also, many main areas of the game are not that exciting to play through. Redcliffe is not that great. It’s usually the beginning area people go to so it’s overlooked but it’s really bland. The mage tower could’ve been a nice compact dungeon you scale to the top but bioware had to pad it out and add the fade section. The elf village is fine but not great. I think orzammar really stands out in terms of quality. It really feels like you are in an alien society you want to learn about and is epic in scale of the quest there. Most other places are not like this. The mages, elves and general human society don’t have that interesting factor about them. They are just generic little tweaks to already established tropes in fantasy and little else is added to make them interesting. Also, not all the party members you recruit are all that interesting. Leila a, Wynn, zevran, shale, and oghren are either boring, just lore dumps, or joke characters. And many party members make absolute no sense to recruit for example sten zevran or shale who are known for being untrustworthy and dangerous. Trusting them is ridiculous. And of course the overall plot with the darkspawn is put on hold while you recruit the various factions. So while I have some fond memories of the game, whenever I get the urge to play it again I remember all the flaws it has and my interest in repainting it goes away.

On a side note, I also found out what a brothel is when first playing Gothic 2 in the exact same situation.
I didn't know what the world "tawdry" was, so I picked that option thinking it was like "naughty" or something and the Warden was teasing. It actually means "cheap" so Morrigan flipped out on me
*word
Sten is boring.
Ogryn is boring until awakening.
Morrigan is a nasty prostitute.
Leliana is boring.
Zevran is dead.
Shale is boring amd a c**t.
Wynn is there too I guess.
Can I just roam around with Alistair and that's it?

Heh, nothing personnel.
yeah, the DLC situation in that era was unforgivable. Same with locking arguably the best character in ME3 (Javik) behind a dlc
it was mid without all the cut content to dlc
pirated this once and it was pretty good. not paying for all that shite to make the game whole though
keep sucking corp dick op, you're great!
>Best romance
imagine unironically considering this an important factor when judging a game
I love crpgs but why do other crpg fans only want to discuss romance and companions, never plot or gameplay?
Golem lady was my favorite
Shitty magic and skill system. Instead of giving martial classes more interesting things to do they decided to dumb down magic to just a few spells. Sacrificing interesting gameplay and world building for “balance,” and they even failed at that (magic still being ridiculously OP)
Man haven’t played this game since I was a kid but I just had mega flash backs to Zevran being a bro. Also remember jerking it to Morrigan.
This was the main party, the other members are okay, but they're not on the same level as the main four.
>This is peak WRPG, not even CDPR or Larian have managed to reach this level
Damn, maybe I did judge this game too harshly back in the day. BioWare may be shit overall imo but at least they can write good companions.
This thread is making me want to play this game lol. As a kid I only ever got up to the dwarf town/broodmother thing. How far did I get?
I like DAO but the companions are a massive weak spot for it, everyone besides Alistair and Morrigan is boring and unmemorable.
wynne throwing her and her apprentice's lives away to stop you from entering the tower unless you took her along was very odd
What is the most fun build to play in this game? Is Arcane Warrior fun?
pure mage. melee is strong but ass to play in da:o, too much auto-attacking
Just make a talent-based DW warrior
I dont pay for or play troony homosexual games.
Well, obviously, since CDPR and Larian are terrible at writing RPGs.
>*pours dragon blood on the Ashes
Why would you do that
reaver time, baby
i want to like Leliana but i really don't like her
who's the same?
i rerolled a rogue just so i wouldnt feel like i had to bring her or zevran
Was this honestly the last good game Bioware made?
Depends on how well you can stomach mass effect 2 and 3 and dragon age 2 and swtor. But DAO and ME1 were the best.
you forgot dog who have more personality than Leliana, gaysin and Baragay (can't even remember their names since I kill them every playthrough and don't take leliana if I play rogue) combined
I miss when Bioware had soul tbh
>can't romance the horny hag
booooooo
For all the issues I have with DA:O including the cringe dialogue. At least it wasn't as degenerate as Baldur's Gate 3. I didn't realize how much lower we could go. I though weird Tumblr fetish gay romance written by men with the minds of teenage girls was the worst it could get.
Yes I know that shit started in BG2. But it wasn't all consuming like it was with Dragon Age.
>that one autist thats trying to gaslight everyone into thinking me1 is the best one
He is in every thread. He literally starts thread like that, with that intent. He is deluded, and has been here for years now.
I'm going to be honest, ME1 is a weak game but it was made with best of intentions. They wanted to make a Bioware RPG version of Star Control 2 essentially. That's why you have the MAKO. But they couldn't do it with the tech at the time so it kept getting paired down until it was just another Bioware RPG but with action gameplay.
I still think Bioware RPG with the freedom of Star Control to go explore any planet and interact with aliens would be kino.
They still can't get it to work, though.
https://www.eurogamer.net/mass-effect-will-ditch-an-open-world-and-return-to-its-classic-format-insider-teases
I just remembered, one thing I liked about DA:O was all the interactions the party members had with each other. Shale's weird friendship with Sten, Winn being a grandmother to Alistair, Morrigan and Alistair being b***hy siblings (canon by the way, Morrigan is Alistair's half sister. It's in the books.) and I realized that all interactions in BG3 between party members are either hateful or horny. There's no inbetween and certainly no touching and warm non romantic interactions between other party members.
>(canon by the way, Morrigan is Alistair's half sister. It's in the books.)
um what?
But you can make them sleep together in the ritual...
>It's in the books
Im so glad we're past this shitty trend.
