The Character Romance thread (Official)

I'm hoping it's became they are juicing it up for you guys.

I meant what happened to you where Kelly was not counted and Javik... you know...

Ah, I see. Nevermind then. 

Also, with mention of that idea of Bioware's:

I'm not too torn up about Mass Effect being on hold. I hope it means bioware will be a lot more meticulous with the next one they release. 

I get that. But fixing romance conflict and adding (we hope) animations are two separate issues I feel that they could have pushed that one (conflict issue) out first maybe. And pushed the m/m improvements when they feel like it and are happy with the specifics.

(Also, hmmm what new movie night things are there now?)

I'm really conflicted about the news. On one hand I think overall MEA had some serious flaws which demonstrate Montreal was a bad choice. On another, I really don't think the HUGE disparity between reception for MEA and DAI is fair. DAI is definitely a better game, but it is extremely boring to play with fetchquests generating most of the content, and with the power system MEA doesn't have, it's very difficult to skip them. The story in DAI is also threadbare, the villain weak and unmemorable, and the mage/Templar cliffhanger from da2 isnt remotely addressed in a substantial and satisfying way. And DAI received universal acclaim, whereas the MEA reviews have basically been understood to be relatively terrible if not absolutely so.

Personally I think both games' major flaws stem from bioware trying to cash in on the open world trend and not doing so successfully. I wish that would be their overall assessment, rather than DAI = perfect and MEA = terrible as I feel like they might have understood it to be. That does upset me because it's a little unfair. But I do objectively think MEA was deeply flawed so it's not like I disagree....

I think whatever they have planned is not as simple as we think. You don't take that long if it's not big and since there is VA's returning (Cora's so far) to record stuff, there could be more to come besides a DLC. That's why I strongly feel this is not minor like some think.

Oh well so far my friend posted an image of Sara and Jaal and he's smiling and looking at her affectionately as she wakes up on his shoulder. Before he would just look up at the movie and not acknowledge her. I'm guessing other LI's have the same thing fixed.

I missed you, my Irish lass

The horror of a boner shrinker. :sob:

"Here at Bioware we recognized we made fRyder look too much like a real human woman and not enough like a pinup, and we set out to fix that right away." 

lol, that is a little creepy
