Thank you BioWare.

Sometimes I feel that the Witcher just often put up darkness for the sake of darkness.

It's considered a mature game because it doesn't sugar coat it's content for the safe space snowflakes out there. Because just like in real life, things aren't black and white, and you can't always get a happy ending. Whatever you do, bad things will happen, people will be mean and racist to you, you will observe sexist and cruel behavior. Sometimes you can stop it, sometimes you can't.

I think there are 2 major types of players who go through that game. The do gooders who want to do "everything right" which mostly translates to kill everyone who did a bad thing in front of them. Which in turn makes the game one dimensional to them. The more mature players understand that killing the "bad guy" isn't always the right solution. That sometimes you need to not stick your damn nose into someone else business and you have bigger concerns.

I think most Bioware players are of the first type, simply because lately Bioware offers less and less depth in terms of choices. Andromeda has almost none of them, it asks you no hard questions and all choices are the right choices, you always win. It's a game made to make you feel good, but they simply went too far. When you do that right off the bat, instantly the stakes are lost. ME1 had this looming threat that became more and more scarier the more you uncovered it and supposedly that should have been the Kett in Andromeda, but because the game has already taught the player that he is just gonna jump in guns blazing, jokes flowing and win, it's hard to get us to care.

W3 and Andromeda are incomparable games even on a base roleplaying level. 95% of all dialogue in Andromeda is a different shade of "Yes".

That's pretty idealist thinking... If we could fix everything in the world why don't we? World is fucked up, more often than not there's not much we can do to change things for the better.

The DLC's in the Witcher 3 were way better in story and balance than the base game.

And if you read the books, The Wild Hunt was a warped shell of what it had been. People shit on Andromeda and Inquisition for weak antagonists, but they were leagues better than the vanilla TW3 antagonists.

And I think both Inquisition and Andromeda were laying the foundation for antagonists that look to be complex, piwerful, and truly threatening. All while making sure it isn't black and white villain is evil to be destroyed. Especially for the future of DA.

It's less a one time revelation and more of the accumulation of knowledge. There is an air of mystery similar to the Reapers, but I don't feel the motivation will end up as stupid.

from everything I'm hearing the end of the game sounds amazing. Can't wait to play it.

Personal opinion and all....though I suppose for my own tastes never played Zelda, don't care to either, not really interested in JRPGs at all, and Dark Souls and its 'revolutionary combat' can shove it for all I care.
