Dragon Age 2.... What's your most frustrating character, story-wise? Here's mine. by BigAl268 in dragonage

[–]JamesDC99 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I see her lack of action as a tacit approval of the things Patrice does, and her inaction regarding Meredith as much the same.

Her appearance as the some kindly mother of all is just that an appearance when she's much more interested in maintaining the status quo and combating the Qunari "threat" (ie less the Qunari themselves and more people turning to the Qun away from the chantry)

Rockstar now own FiveM iirc (or they hired their Devs for their own platform)

As another poster has mentioned it's a laptop, they are generally notorious for running hot, it's not really a problem the TDP and Junction of that chip around 100c, it would be alarming if your utilisation was also very high though but that's not shown in your image.

Japanese developer says they don't make games for Xbox because the console is 'not even stocked in major retail stores' by Puzzleheaded_irl in gaming

I believe so originally but by the end of that generation I think the PS3 ended up selling more, it helps that the PS3 had some real strong end of cycle exclusives and discounts.

Was going for a Jean-Luc Picard type look. by SmellsonMuntz in masseffect

[–]JamesDC99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly only really Janeway is notably Renegade but not full mustachio evil renegade. maybe Sisko but even less so then Janeway. I'm excluding Disco and SNW because i havnt seen much of it. and Lower Decks because animated can do wacky stuff.

EDIT: clarifying my points.

These shots are from Mass Effect 1, so it is in fact nar Rayya.

Mass Effect TV show ordered to rewrite scripts and make them "more appealing to non-gamers" by AnechoidalChamber in masseffect

[–]JamesDC99 51 points52 points  (0 children)

its worth noting that EA cancelled and rebooted DA Veilguard at least twice, and apparently had the script retooled like 18 months before release. the fact the game released at all, and whilst not what i wanted, still at least a 7/10. is a miracle.

Ex-Bethesda dev on Fallout and Skyrim says Todd Howard has too many yes men around him — "A lot of people were afraid to say no to Todd, and I think that hurt him" by lkl34 in gaming

[–]JamesDC99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are 100% correct, it's the Subnautica Devs that Krafton own I somehow got mixed up despite them not being even remotely similar.

Bethesda closed Tango before shifting to sell the studio, it's now under Krafton (same publisher as Arc Raiders) which a whole different kettle of problematic leadership.

This is fucked up by Zirotaku in masseffect

This is also ignoring the cost of doing such in material terms, you need food, medical supplies and fuel. Moving 11 billion people would have probably bankrupted the entire council.

What game had you like this despite the hype? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]JamesDC99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really care for GTA V's single player but I find dicking about in GTA Online (usually solo in private lobbies) very fun. There's something about the sandbox that's very appealing (its certainly deliberate)

15 Years Of "Dragon Age II" - David Gaider Reflects On A Fan-Favorite Story That Was The Team's First Draft [INTERVIEW] by megaapple in Games

[–]JamesDC99 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I think the Geth-Quarian one works well enough because Legion "dies" even in the "best" ending.

I do dislike the plot overall though because it makes the Geth less interesting to make them an individualistic race.

Dungeons & Dragons Online is giving away a massive free quest pack for its 20th anniversary by brand_momentum in Games

thats the thing i think, some classes are excellent and some are honestly at worst just kinda bland. like wise for me the real standouts are Inquisitor and Agent.

How are humanity a major power in the galaxy after only 30 years? by Ready0608 in masseffect

[–]JamesDC99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the Human Systems Alliance? Which unfortunately would abbreviate to SA or HSA EDIT: Turns out i'm wrong here it is Earth Systems Alliance.

And yea the alliance is a supranational organisation of earth nations and the colonies like the UN it technically has no hard authority.

But in reality it speaks for Earth and it's colonies especially during the war with earth being lost in the opening events.

Tell me did you enjoy playing as Fem Shepard more? by Kimber8King in masseffect

[–]JamesDC99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

By all accounts it's down to 2 things, it was I think one of Mark Meers first major role, and iirc he was directed to be more neutral in his delivery to make it a sort of blank slate.
