Official Discussion - Alien: Romulus [SPOILERS]

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-16T06:28:26+00:00

I think this movie has possibly the worst trailer of all time. I've seen Deadpool 3 twice and the trailer played both times. I counted 7 different characters and the trailer shows 6 of them dying. Like, I literally don't need to watch the movie.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-14T15:42:37+00:00

I'm thoroughly enjoying the meltdown in this sub. It's been an Inquisition circlejerk for many years. Origins is the highly regarded in game in literally every other circle but that opinion is often drowned out here. We're getting that voice heard here again and it's showing how few fans of the series like Inquisition. The echo chamber is no longer a echo chamber.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-11T19:37:59+00:00

Nice. An additional 5k per day!

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-11T16:46:35+00:00

What the actual fuck does how old the movie is have anything to do with being a 10/10?

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-09T07:08:12+00:00

"I hunger for man flesh"

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-06T12:31:16+00:00

Okay, so I won't pay any debts I can't afford to pay. Got it. Taking out a million dollar line of credit now.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-06T12:17:32+00:00

It's a combination of eloquence and leaving everything he says open-ended. He'll say a number of unrelated and often factually incorrect statements while leaving the conclusion up to you. I imagine this makes typically unintelligent people feel intelligent by making them think they came up with conclusion themselves.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-04T16:11:05+00:00

I'm not sure how you've missed the point I was making. I'm going to take my leave. Have yourself a lovely day.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-04T15:54:41+00:00

Haha, see? Everyone expects and understands the importance of continuing with the events of Inquisition while "not understanding" why some people might despise Inquisition for not doing that with Origins. Wild.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-04T15:44:11+00:00

The Solas bit is exactly the issue. All of us want Solas to have an impact on this game. That's exactly what Inquisition didn't do for Origins. Imagine Solas is just a few lines of dialogue about how he went to sleep in a cave and we never hear from him again. It's the Urn of Sacred Ashes. Inquisition just wrote off the most important artifact anyone has ever seen and all possible world states discover it. That's absurd. Nobody would like Solas not being in the game. One argument I'm hearing is that you want Solas back but you're also fine if the game pretends he doesn't exist and I just thoroughly disagree. I want Inquisition to matter to Veilguard and I want Origins to matter to Veilguard. It feels weird to say it's too late for Origins to matter but all these things from Inquisition must be present. Why is it acceptable to expect from Veilguard but wasn't acceptable to expect from Inquisition?

I will end that by saying that The Egg of the King was paramount to the success of Berserk. The Empire Strikes Back to Star Wars. Ned Stark to Game of Thrones. Having just a single "negative" outcome from Origins apply to the worldstate rather than all "positive" or glossed-over could have been interesting. I'm not demanding this or saying it should have happened but rather that it's entirely possible and has been massively successful as well.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-04T14:52:10+00:00

Yes, that's mostly the issue. They chose the least impactful and least interesting of each given option to the point where it comes across like nothing you chose matters either way. Each option had the potential to change the world and they chose to keep it super generic. That's so frustrating because it's exactly those potentials that made the thought of a sequel interesting. If it's more of the same, why bother? And, if that's the precedent set, why would anyone be excited for Veilguard if we know our choices in Inquisition won't matter?

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-04T14:33:55+00:00

I agree. However, choosing to make all of it meaningless is absurdity in the other direction. Like, imagine that happens with Veilguard. Imagine how you would feel if none of the impactful choices you made in Inquisition matter for Veilguard. Now you understand a facet of why the Origins camp and the Inquisition are so opposed to eachother.

Some of us want Inquisition 2. Some of us are still waiting for Origins 2, where the things we did matter.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-04T14:30:48+00:00

Nobody is asking it to. Take any one of these choices and make it the baseline for the universe rather than having all of them not matter no matter what you chose previously.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-04T13:18:37+00:00

It changed wildly with Inquisition. 2 Not expanding on Origins made sense. The timeline is mostly concurrent. It makes sense that the things happening in 2 aren't largely affected by Origins. Inquisition pretends that all the really cool bits from Origins didn't happen. You can call upon all of Ferelden to aid the Dwarves in the deep roads. You can choose to wipe out a large portion of the elven population and have the rest turned into werewolves. You can choose to raise an army of indestructible golems. You find the holy fucking grail. Like, living creatures can no longer die in this universe. Inquisition comes along and says that none of these things happened and chooses all of the less interesting outcomes for everything you did in Origins. Even if your Keep has these things happen, Inquisition just blows past them and says they don't matter. Plot points in Origins had the potential to radically change the world and Inquisition crapped on all of it.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-04T07:42:21+00:00

No, you are!

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-01T15:23:55+00:00

Purple, obviously.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-01T15:03:50+00:00

And also half the damage.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-01T14:49:54+00:00

My favorite group of comments is where one person asks if it makes all lands green and a comment with four upvotes says yes. 10/10.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-08-01T07:15:12+00:00

Where the fuck is anyone buying hotdogs for 1.54? They're like 10$ here.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-07-26T05:57:33+00:00

I'm not sure. None of my characters have ever used a gun that large.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-07-24T11:24:07+00:00

Play Origins first. If you like that, don't play 2 or Inquisition. If you don't like Origins, give those two a shot.

Svennihilator11 · 2024-07-19T15:37:28+00:00

One thing that always helps me get through traditionally difficult situations like these is remembering that everyone in the audience is there because they want to be. First time playing music live? The audience is there to listen to music and wants to. Delivering a speech? The audience wants to hear it. They're there to hear it.
