"No Brothels to be in DA4" as per Mark Darrah Tweet.

The only sad thing about it it took them 5 years to make it happen, and did not put that kind of sexual content on the trilogy.

Oh its relevant. In a minor way however.

Learn a bit about nuances :

- This place should have more positive thoughts, than negative ones DOESN'T MEAN this place must be an echo chamber

- Being annoyed by something DOESN't MEAN constantly bringing this thing in the discussion

- Saying your constant bashing prevents serious discussions DOESN'T MEAN serious discussions must always be positive

I remember some threads in the old BSN before DAI came out in which that was the jist.

And yet you still have not provided any justification for why a forum should be feature more positive discussion than negative.

Going by the raw definition of a forum: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/forum


1 a :the marketplace or public place of an ancient Roman city forming the center of judicial and public business

b :a public meeting place for open discussion The club provides a forum for people interested in local history.

c :a medium (such as a newspaper or online service) of open discussion or expression of ideas

2 :a judicial body or assembly :court

3 a :a public meeting or lecture involving audience discussion The town has scheduled a public forum to discuss the proposal.

b :a program (as on radio or television) involving discussion of a problem usually by several authorities

-----------------

Open discussion means a wide variety of perspectives and ideas. It could ne positive, negative or neutral. In this case, as long as the discussion is about Dragon Age, then the forum is serving its purpose. YOU may want this place to be some defacto Bioware fan club and yes, many here including myself are fans to a certain extend; but that isnt what this place is or is supposed to be. So if I want to create threads or replies that are really pessimistic and critical of Bioware then so be it. In an open forum not all input would be specified to what YOU want. If I make a thread titled, "Dragon Age 4 will be a failure...." and in the body I explain point by point of why I think so, then the forum is serving its purpose in the same way another thread titled, "Dragon Age 4 will blow everyone away and become the best Bioware game to date" does. Both of them are opening up the floor for people to debate, agree/disagree, and offer their opinions and side of the story. If you feel annoyed or irked by a particular topic, nobody is forcing you to participate in the discussion, just ignore it and move to a thread where tje thoughts align more with your own.

So no, positive discussion SHOULD NOT be the focus nor should negative discussion. As long as there is respectful discussion that is about Dragon Age/Bioware, thats all that matters.

Man, screw brothels. I want bustling taverns where I can have bar fights, card games and/or woo NPC’s.

That is preferable.

I’ll take what I can get honestly. I don’t care one way or the other so long as it’s a gathering place for NPC’s I can interact with. 

Research Sam Maggs

Likely the latter.

Come on, now, they're just doing their civic duty!
