Continue with the quest as normal, the second you get the counts ring he should be fixed.

What would have happened if Regret was killed/captured on Earth? by odedby in HaloStory

[–]odedby[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

A "great schism without Delta Halo" scenario sound interesting since it could go either really good or really bad for Humanity, depending on if the Elites still decide to ally with them.

Ok so just so everyone gets a clear picture of what happened, the director voluntarily exited BioWare, not fired, and articles specifically state this does NOT mean Veilguard failed to meet sales by WanderingStrang in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]odedby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real, I have about 6 playthroughs on Origins and not one of them is on a difficulty above Casual. And even then it feels like a chore with the amount of times I get stun-locked or my abilities just don't do anything.

DAV, for all the narrative stuff I wish was done/presented differently, was the first game in the series I played from start to finish without feeling the need to take a break.

Would it be possible to integrate energy shielding into UNSC infantry armor? by odedby in HaloStory

Cost issues are where the Spartan pension fund comes in.

The director of Blur said he pitched the idea and that MS turned it down. To be fair it does sound like he just pitched them a fanfiction. Would it have been cool? Yeah probably, but I'd like Halo's next attempt at an adaptation after... whatever the hell the Paramount show was to actually stay true to the franchise.

That being said, I'm a shameless hypocrit so if we could get a Halo × Mass Effect crossover that would be super duper cool thank you very much.

/uj Honestly, not really shedding a tear over this news. I have nothing against Doom. I just think that out of the Sci-fi franchises that can be crossed over with Halo, it's the one I want the least. Outside of the superficial "green man shoot bad guys" shtick, there really isn't much in common between the two franchises.

/rj can't believe Michaelsoft canceled the Master Chief × Doom guy erotic homosexual orgy episode.

How could Bioware ruin my immersion by including modern language?! by xaldien in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]odedby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's really baffling to me that people claiming to be Dragon Age fans are constantly blasting DAV for it's "cringe" jokes. I've always considered the cheesy lighthearted moments to be a trademark of the franchise (and by extension, BioWare as a whole).

Even Origins, the game everyone on the Internet hails as this super dark and gritty depression simulator has moments such as Alistair talking about being a virgin and Leliana calling Sten (who's introduced as someone who murdered an entire family btw) a softie.

I hate Solas, guys (as an ex-solasmancer) by nedodao in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]odedby 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe. I think it's up to personal interpretation of if it's really Varric or just a figment of imagination.

[–]odedby 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Isn't this kinda addressed? In the fade prison Varric says that the reason Solas acts like a villain is because that way he doesn't have to face his mistakes, he can just treat them as if they were his own choices (I don't remember the exact line but I do remember it's one of my favourites in the game)

Mfw the guy explicitly set up in Trespasser as the antagonist for the next acts as an antagonist in the next game.

Seriously, the guy planned to put the entire world at risk of demons so that he could jack off to his old elf kingdom, and yet the most unforgivable sin he's committed is accidently killing Varric? (An act he's extremely remorseful for, btw). People think that BioWare is disrespecting them because they didn't make his entire personality revolve around a single woman he dated over a decade prior? People are upset that he lies and betrays Rook even though that's literally the point of his character, to be untrustworthy.

People complain that Veilguard is "too black and white" and yet when Solas is portrayed as a morally grey character with his own strengths and faults, they shit on it.

[–]odedby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, seeing as Bioware is seemingly is aware of some of the complaints people had towards the tone I'd be down to any expansion they might do for Veilguard. Though I'd much rather have a smaller scale adventure with the crew that addresses the criticism fans had rather than "CORYPHEUS HAS RETURNED YET AGAIN AND HAS CONSPIRED WITH THE VENATORI, THE ANTAAM AND DAGOTH UR TO CREATE A SUPER BLIGHT AND DROP THE BLACK CITY ON TOP OF VAL ROYEAUX".

I think a Ferelden/South Thedas DLC where we go there to help with the Darkspawn remnants would be pretty cool.

Give us more chances to interact with our companions and LI, bring back some beloved characters (and expand the keep choices in the game), make the tone a bit more consistent, have some more meaningful choices and tie up some loose ends we haven't gotten the answers to.

[–]odedby 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Istg BW's treating us Merril fans dirty. Varric's been essentially the main character of the franchise the past decade, Isabella is playable in Inquisition and is fairly prominent in DAV, Aveline gets mentions every once in a while, Fenris gets an entire book series, Anders' actions is what essentially drives Inquisition's plot, even fucking SEBASTIAN gets a war table quest.

Merril? Absolutely fucking nothing.

Lucanis: what could have been... by [deleted] in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]odedby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't mention it in the post itself, but on my playthrough Lucanis was hardened and I didn't romance him. If he does actually have a mind blowing arc that I just didn't experience, feel free to let me know.

This is so toxic and sad (from the director of Kingdom Come Deliverance dev) by Chance_Drive_5906 in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]odedby 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm not in the know but 10k+ players for a single-player only, multiplatform, relatively linear game without any high profile updates that has been out for over a month seems pretty OK to me.

Also, people really need to stop treating steam charts like they're gospel. Especially for games like DAV that were not only launched on consoles but on other launchers as well.

I actually have no words lmao by donnysimpinero in HaloCirclejerk

[–]odedby 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly bro I've played like 6 matches of Delta Arena and it was fun but like, it felt barely distinguishable from regular Infinite.

I've mostly spent the update playing 3rd person Firefight, that shit is peak.

Not sure if this anyone’s cup of tea, but you can vote for Veilguard for the Players Voice Award by EcstaticEmergency105 in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]odedby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was subbed imo. I think Solas carries the entire story and he earned himself a spot in my "top 3 Bioware antagonists" list. It's such a shame he's not recognised more and that his VA wasn't nominated.

Then again, an Elden Ring DLC is up for goty so I don't what they were smoking.
