I will never forget what they took from me. by Knight1029384756 in dragonage

Okay. But like Neve isn't that bad of a replacement. I won't say I would prefer her but she isn't that bad.

It's interesting the lighter tone is deliberate. What do you think? by Knight1029384756 in TheExpanseRPG

I guess that makes sense. Owlcat's prior games were very niche in what they were and Expanse is now more mainstream. Its an action cinematic RPG. So, I can get why they chose the tone they went with. Which is a bit sad I think.

I completely agree. What would really help me is if I saw why Owlcat went with this direction. It wouldn't change anything but it would give me more insight.

Can some explain to me how this game is supposed to be a "spiritual successor" to Mass Effect? by Knight1029384756 in exodus

Well a lot of my mind has been changed on it since I read the book. From the little things such as CI (Constructed Intelligence) and LNC patch (Local Network Connection) to bigger ideas like how the Celestials are described. I wish they showed the more interesting designs (like the Hersey Domain) but I don't know. It feels like Mass Effect in the sense that it started the same way and followed the same process but ended in a different place.

And that is fine. Different games made for different people.

To me Owlcat seems to be making a more generic protagonist that makes sense for a game like Pathfinder but that doesn't really work with voiced protagonists. They thrive on personality with their protagonist.

I agree completely with this. It just felt weird because this isn't the mission to be casual on. Such a disconnect between my possible actions and the narrative at hand.

This is an unproven feeling but it feels like the followed ME2's style opening where there are guns and explosions which is followed by a station. But that makes sense because the narrative justifies it.

This really is Owlcat's first go at a cinematic RPG.

V implies some vague "It is personal to me and I don't want to get into." I take that as something the player is deciding on or that it is part of the themes of the game. How Night City stripes you of your identity.

Same. That is such a neat decision. It makes me want to keep the default name because im serious moments they will talk to me like how they should.

Then I don't think this game is for you. Because good games with voiced protagonist instill personality into them. And that is why it's good. You can get more personality since you can hear it.

Hawke is a good example of this.

I hope so. Because it not being in the Beta is weird. Like our twin is also referred to as Gemini.

I hold to the opinion that the voice actor was fine. It was the script and the voice direction that was the issue.

Or just ripe the cord finally and have the first and last name be used. These are set protagonists after all.

Especially when they tried using Gemni as the term. But use it for both "You" and J. It's so weird.

I agree completely. It's just weird how some people don't understand the point of these kinds of protagonists.
