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

 You were the one who bought up Whoreson Junior, what does Bloody Baron have to do with what you claimed? I just simply compared the how DA2 executed the serial killer route better than what TW3 did with Whoreson and there were plenty of dark moments in DAI like potentially sacrificing Hawke or heading to the dark future in the Mage path.

What's hitting your nerve? Jesus Christ if you don't like what I said good for you, but that's what I said indeed. Why are you using sales now? COD is always the top seller and that means quality? Give me a break. And you thin people knew about the padding? Because I didn't. Being a near generation launch title, it got lucky. Or you think DA2 created hype? If you're content with mediocre shit, then awesome, BioWare used to be at the top of their game, you know, raising the bar you hate so much because you're now used to the mess they have been putting lately, as evidenced by your tireless rampage.

People never talked about TW1 or 2 because 1) the first one was a niche game 2) They weren't the massive success 3 was.

Oh, the fanbase is talking about DAI? Never expected that. The media is to this day celebrating TW3. Disclaimer, I didn't even mention it properly. But sure, "The DAI in space" that everyone was worried about before MEA's release, even the GM addressing it in an interview while assuring people it wouldn't be like that, wasn't DAI's legacy, basically.

Um... are you sure it's my nerve that is being hit? Just look at your reaction, the "Jesus Christing" and being all defensive and aggressive at the same time. Stop with the projection. 

And I used sales to illustrate a point. Strange that you're all dismissive about them, when I remember how often TW3 sales numbers have been brought to 'brag' about its success... so, thank you for doing exactly what I thought you'd do.

And yes, before I bought Inquisition I actually knew about the "padding". Because you know how I got to know about DAI? I had at least a dozen of friends who were enthusing about the game and how big and deep and great it is. I actually bought DAI about a month or more after it was released, when Inquisition's scope or content wasn't a secret.

I like how I asked whether rising the bar is supposed point of all games and apparently it means that I hate "rising the bar"   Talk about false dichotomy.

And again - stop projecting. Almost all you're doing is rampaging through threads bemoaning how supposedly mediocre and shit BW games are now and jumping at throats of anyone who disagrees with you, calling them thin and content with mediocre, or some other nonsense like that.

There would be no TW3 without TW1 and TW2, in any possible respect we can think of.

Well, it's a good thing people can't yet compare different franchises CDPR has to one another... 'cuz there ain't any aside from Witcher yet.

Because let me remind you that people were wondering whether DA becomes more like ME and ME like DA long before DAI and MEA. And you're making it sound like it was all about "DAI's troubled legacy". Talk about disingenuous.

Am I the only who thinks her jacket sans the sleeves look like a plastic bag?

So much for hoping that type of fashion didn't become a trend.

Don't be ridiculous. Nobody in this thread has been triggered by anything. (Well, maybe you have been.)Indifference to a kind of content is the opposite of being triggered by it

DnD sessions are a completely different thing from a major AAA game release.

DA2 did deliver on that one and it was well written, but the side quests in Witcher are well done and the quest Get Junior was horrifying brutal and more detailed than DA2. Besides DA2 game in general is a very dull and dry game I mean the design of the city is horrible, it's not open world where a player can explore the Free Marches, and you can't move freely with your character. At least Skyrim and Fallout provides freedom and a real open world experience. Just my 2¢.

As much as i'd hate to admit negative stuff about DA,that is totally true :/ Guess we can blame the rushed design for that
The Skyrim-ish open world design of Inquisition is such a vast improvement though.

That's actually one of the things that bugs me most about Inquisition. The spaces are too big for the amount of content that's actually in them, and what little side content there is actually sucks.

I have the same issue with AC: Origins right now, as it happens. I would much prefer smaller environments with a greater density of content.

If a game HAS to be open world, I reckon something about the size of Horizon Zero Dawn is just right, and I mean for an entire game, not one region.
