We need to show support for DLC

I think that the low Metacritic score is based solely on animation glitches at launch. I really, really do. In all other ways, the game is a surprisingly good mix of what made the OT successful and what made Inquisition successful. If the glitches had been fixed prior to launch, then I think we'd be looking at an 80-85 score.

And no, I'm not kidding.

No pressure, just enthusiasm.

Smart not salty.
Classy not clumsy.

Time the BSN twitter changed its avatar to, I don't know, how about Kal Reegar... ? 

God damn it August left....

We'll still be here if/when/whenever she wants to come back.  BTW, good to see you back.

I deliberately flit in and out of threads, and the forum in general actually.  I think if I posted too much or read too much the negativity would get to me pretty quickly...which makes me wonder how the mods have kept their sanity.
But taking a break is a really good idea when there are such high passions being stoked up day after day.  Perhaps then you can come back with enthusiasm sometime. 

Can a deleted account be reactivated?

It probably came out of payroll. Nice job Casey.

Alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol. 

Well I always suspected as much.

Ah interesting.  Shame to lose the prior posts but it's good to get your name back at least.



My 1000th post.  Every one of them was golden, obviously.
Does that make me an N4 now? 

I had almost no glitches my entire playthrough beyond some cosmetic or silly things. The animation stuff for humans was uncanny valley and the eyes patches helped a bit with that obviously -- and the lighting (esp with Addison, who was truly awful to talk to and almost gamebreaking for me) -- but I beat the game before the 1.08 patch and haven't played since. I really very rarely had a glitch for all 100 hours of playing and I started playing the night of launch. The launch patch did a lot to fix things on my end, I guess. 

I mostly remember: Liam walking straight into a wall when I wanted to talk to him (reload fixed), the colony on Voeld landing on top of my car (fast travel fixed), an email about poker night referencing Jaal before I had met Jaal, and SAM saying I had email when I didn't. There were maybe some other tiny things, but nothing gamebreaking. All quests worked fine for me. And once the eyes were fixed, it got easier to interact with humans (though I still think that isn't up to par. I'm replaying ME3 for the first time and, while the graphics themselves are worse, I do find the faces so much more expressive and flexible in their emoting.)

I WISH I had had that Sloane pretzel glitch, or the glitch someone had and posted here where Liam walks along the outside of the ship and then jumps off into space (don't come back, Liam!), or the Kallo chair. I get that people find that immersion breaking, but I would welcome the surprise laugh. My glitches were boring ones. But I guess the point is that my version of the game was very smooth compared to others' experiences.

I just hope we will get at least one single SP DLC. If they had planned several DLCs and changed their plans for whatever reason, okay fine. That'd be sad but I could accept it if we got at least one DLC to tie up at least a few of the loose ends. I enjoyed MEA for the most part and it would be really sad not to see at least one DLC and some of those loose ends resolved.

Andromeda, 1.09, is my game of the year. I hate the fact that art is defined by a release date instead of a patched date. I know all about the negatives and down side arguments and it's still a shame. The developers molded a lot of work into 20 months. A lot of impressive stuff. The Architects are phenomenal. I can't wait for the rig to come together (I received the power supply, the keyboard and the cpu fan. NewEgg is really teasing me awful.) so I can just dive in and mod Andromeda. I want to see how the mods work (what was de-crypted and what the variables mean) and then how to alter them so I can do something to add my touch to the canvas. The old trilogy used the Unreal engine and you can do a lot of variable changes, but not a whole lot of stuff besides that. Even though I haven't seen any formal tools from BioWare, modders at Nexus are showing off their skills (what a way to make an impression with a company like BioWare: "Here's Frostbite. Here's a tool I made. I did this. Pay me bi***es." At least that's how the conversation would go if I was involved. Highly unlikely.) and I CANNOT WAIT TO USE THEM. I've already got a wishlist going of mods I want to pick apart like a car engine or just use because it's so freaking convenient. My self-awareness is screaming nerd alert. Sorry.
