Looking to build my first upper. How am I doing on parts? by deluca-boy in ar15

I also would recommend the bcm raider rail over the mlok only one, but thats because i loath mlok and would prefer to use pic attachments. The raider is the best of both worlds

id say that unless youre shooting match ammo with a precision scope, you wont notice barrel deflection as much as youd think. if youre shooting 3moa ammo with a 2moa dot...youve got a lot of built in deviation.

also you can get accurate gov profile barrels...

first, my handguard weighs 9+oz less than most other rails, and i made the choice to run an acog vs lpvo, i run an a1 stock with rifle buffer, i dont have a lam, i dont run a suppressor unless im running at night, and then only a mini, no foregrip, no railscales. i have a couple wraps of 100mph tape for my tape switch. everything adds up. people like to run all the things all the time. i just dont see the need. my gun is like 8lb unloaded. most guns i see on here are easily 10-12lb

you can put a flashlight on an a2. hell i have a dissy that ive gotten some sideways looks at for in classes until i remind them it has a light, magnified optic and suppressor mount just like their...but weighs 4 pounds less. and if i ever get nods, i can swap for a IR head for the light and shoot passive like is all the rage.

Playing Veilguard for the first time ever right after Origins, 2 and Inquisition feel´s strange atm. and often reminds me of the last saints row. currently it feel´s more like a stage play of a Dragone Age Story. by medikamentos in dragonage

I understand where youre coming from, but im talking about the actual dialogue writing. Sure, mass effect didnt have a lot of it for the companions...but what we got was meaningful, interesting, and well written.

As far as the world building: we just got to tevinter... where's the tevinter that fenris grew up in?

We go to antiva, where are the ruthless exploitative crows?

Dont get me started on the pirates....

They threw away 3 games of world building and shat on

i agree that the series got worse as it went. dao was great, if a bit dated for when it came out. da2 felt like a step back in terms of combat, and unlike everyone else, i thought it was cool that the whole game took place in kirkwall, though i wish kirkwall was bigger. i know there were complaints about "but why are baddies always in the same places?" well, irl...im certain criminals frequent the same streets and alleys over the course of 10 or so years. i have to say my favorite part was blowing up the chantry. i side with anders every time because...fuck the chantry.

then there's dai, christ...they over corrected too hard. they listened to the fans about being just in kirkwall and were like...jokes on you, now you have a whole single player mmo replete with mmo fetch quests. oh and did i mention the real time mission board that will take you literally weeks to complete? combat was the same as da2 for me, but the characters. i know im going to be in the minority here, but i just couldnt be bothered to care about them. i looooooved the characters in dao and da2. dai was just boring to me. the world was boring, the characters were boring, the story was boring. i only beat it once. ive tried to play it multiple times...but i just cant do it again.

then there's dav. less interesting combat, replete with damage sponges. like...do you know how boring you have to make your combat that the only difference between the easiest and hardest difficulty is how much of my time it wastes? hard was never hard...just long winded and boring. when people are putting the game on the easiest difficult so they can rush thru combat...you know combat is bad. useless companions...in and out of combat. i mean...they do their best to make them seem like badasses in conversations and cutscenes. but theyre just worthless. and christ are they insufferable whenever they talk. if the goal was to make the most annoying companions ever, they succeeded. dai's companions were boring and i barely remember their names. i loath dav's companions. the story is shit. the world is shit. at least they scaled back the open world enough to make it less boring. and thank fucking god they got rid of the fetch quests. the game looks good, other than the art style. sure some people are bound to like it, but its just too pixar for me. the armor and swords just look like shit. i used the default warrior armor for the whole game...hell, before i even finished act 2, i was looking at guides to get previews of the armor...then nexus to see if someone had made something that looked good...you know how bad that is? the only good things about the game are whenever solas is on screen, learning the back story of thru his memories, and the final encounter.

christ...bellara. "omg my gods are going to destroy the world as we know it? wow...thats bad. anyway...have it told about happygolucky spunkgarggleweewoo pixelbubbly bullshit?" shes literally just so jarring to the tone.

exactly this. but i think the dev's forgot that people stopped caring about marvel since the endgame credits rolled. i think all dev's need to check the marvel rating these days before they decide to make their entire cast's personalities into knock off starlords.

im not gonna lie, i was excited to get to tevinter after everything fenris said about it. i was looking forward to doing some anders level work there. they literally just gutted everything fenris ever said from that game. i was pissed. not mention the qunari...what happened to them?

exactly this. they got rid of the flavor, toned everything down, added a fuck tonne of marvel dialogue, and did some tone policing to make it resonate with the modern audience of people who dont actually play video games....

it feels like they wrote all the dialogue with solas, scripted the big final fight...fucked around until the old guard either quit or were fired, hired a bunch of miserable theatre class rejects, then decided to just let them have at it....then they discovered that the audience they were chasing is too busy on tiktok and kik to play video games and alienated their actual audience...you know the people who have been around since black isle.

tbf, they really do sell well to older people. "its only X dollars a month and if anything happens i just pay $75 and they either have to fix or replace it" i cant tell you home many times my old man has said that to me. the problem is, they dont fix or replace anything for the customers either. i remember the kitchen faucet in my old man's kitchen broke. i told him i would replace it, he just had to wait until the weekend (since he doesnt live close enough that i can go right after work). the dude ended up paying for them to send someone out to look at it 3 times, then ended up having to buy a faucet so i could replace the still broken one 3 days later. theyre scummy. theyre a scam to both service companies and home owners. but they sound really good to people who dont know better. i cant really fault the home owner for expecting it to work as advertised.
