Should bioware do one final shepard game?

The best thing about this response is that it’s just a roundabout way of saying “you’re just too dumb to get it”. I can already imagine Druckman’s in-game doppleganger saying this as

Of course, theme has nothing to do with the scene I’m referring to, unless the theme really is “Everyone’s a little stupid sometimes.”

Because you see this person is more than just Joe Average. I don't want to play a game about Joe Average and his friends, John, Jane, Sam and Mary Average. I've got Joe Average on speed dial. We go out for a beer every other day. I want the squad mate of a Bioware RPG to be above average. Because I wouldn't get the chance to interact with them, otherwise. For everything else, I have Joe Average. You have Joe Average, too. Maybe you find Joe Average to be comfortable to hang around with. But comfortable is rarely exciting and rarely memorable. I go into a conversation with Joe Average and I forget what we talked about 3 hours later. It's good time, make no mistake, sharing a beer with Joe, but unfortunately, it's not a mind blowing experience. If I don't remember the character of your video game, hopefully in a positive manner, I did not love your game and I will not miss it, if you make another one, nor Bioware making another game with that character and all the other characters that are kind like them, is not going to be a selling point, to spend $60 for a mediocre experience, like last time.


I don't play video games to meander about and talk about the weather. I've yet to meet anyone who plays games for that purpose. We play games for the excitement. All of us. To do things we don't do in our every day lives. Is that pandering to a demographic? If it is, then the very existence of video games is pandering and we should stop making them.


Absolutely.


I don't instantaneously know more about them. But I want to.


Neither. I am just not interested in these absolute nobodies that seem to think themselves important and that would think I should instantaneously take a liking to them, simply because they were included in the game. It's no better than Bioware expecting me to give them $60, because they released a new game. If they owe me nothing, then I owe them nothing.


No. I do not. The most interesting thing about fictional characters is discovering their personalities and then have the react in the various situations they find themselves in. But for that to be interesting, I need to be intrigued by these characters. And if they do nothing to earn my interest, then I don't care whether they live or die. Even so, with the benefit of the doubt, most of Bioware's new characters have done nothing but disappoint me, at every turn. From the complaints and the amount of them, it seems to be a recurring theme among Bioware's customers, who disliked these products and all the more people dislike their products, ever since SW:ToR.

I found their first couple of conversations to be utter drags and I honestly had no idea what they were on about. Pair that with uninspired introductions, that fit more the tone of a thrice redone high school manga and my interest in there characters disappeared.


I'd be more curious. And if I'm curious, I will probably stick around longer, trying to figure this character out or be more tolerant of their lackluster initial dialogues, until I get to the "good" part. If one is there.


Of the more recent characters, say ME3 and on, I disliked the introductions of the new characters as well as the characters themselves. Independently of their introductions. But I am also less inclined to show interest in a character and be much less forgiving of their initial interactions, if the character wasn't introduced in an interesting way.

For example, I maintain that the intro to DA:I should include just Cassandra and the Inquisitor. Solas introduction is, basically, "this is some guy who walked in". He is as compellingly introduced as Red Shirt guy in Star Trek, with the added grievance that Solas survived. Basically, Solas should have been Jenkins'd.

I'd say, out of Inquisitions audience, Solas is equally liked and disliked. Personally, I find his train of thought to still be boarding at the station, even after the events of Tresspasser. I ... I don't care about his story line and I just. I don't. Solas isn't a selling point and the fact that they will, potentially, use the next 3 games to deal with him is even more questionable.

At best, I'd consider Solas divisive and ending his arc in DA4 would have been for the best, but that's not happening.

Solas isn’t a selling point for you, but he’s still a selling point. 

LOVE  this idea. I would sell my soul to get rid of Solas in DA4.

And oh yes, Shepard. No, don't come back. We love you but don't come back.

I hope not. ME2 is easily the worst game in the series.

Perhaps Shepard could play a similar role to Corporal Jenkins in the next game?

Okay, just finished the game. It's god tier. 

speaking of Vega I always thought of him as a place holder in case Bioware decided to stay in the MW and take over from shep. regardless if he died or lived after all he was given the chance to join the N7 program  so *shrug* that's what (INMO) writhing is all about. hehe never know which direction a story will take you
