The worst part is this isn't Bioware's first rodeo with drawn out development cycles. You'd think they learnt something from Anthem's absolute colossal failure.
Thanks both. So I've actually played the Divinity II game and not finished it. I found the humour in it very off-putting. If it's the one I'm thinking of. There were giggling skull bombs. I liked the fact things interacted with the environment in interesting ways but I just couldn't get into the game. The Pillars of Eternity I played through the first and did enjoy. But the second didn't grab me and it was the same with Tyranny.
Owlcat's pretty good at letting you choose your own content (you can kill or abandon most party members in the Pathfinder games) and making a lot of different pieces of content mutually exclusive.
Nah Rogue Traders operate heavily outside of Imperial authority and are known to have limited numbers of Xenos mercenaries, imperial outcasts, even some of the more permissive Space Marines aboard. If a Sister had a reason or was hiding from something its entirely possible.
Yeah, but they didn't immediately go back into it, they went off to make Mass Effect 3 and Anthem first.
I thought that the game was rebooted so hard that it was a different project entirely. If I'm not wrong then its actually double fucked. What an utter embarrassment. Heads should have rolled at Bioware long ago and, if anything, I am even more shocked now that leadership wasn't rounded up and executed after Anthem's official failure.
Didn't their Pathfinder game have SocJus elements? Nothing puts me off more from RPGs than ridiculous parallel to trannies/gays or sticking sheboons as a noble good authority figure
A bit, though some of it is from the source material (Paizo is big on that stuff) and you can outright kill any gay companion if you really wanted to. It's typically handled in a way that you'd have to search for it.
There's probably a mod to fix it but dear god looking for mods is so pozzed.
Don't get too hyped. Owlcat games opens their games super broken on release. Like unplayable bugs that lock your game if you don't have an earlier save to unfuck it. They're on the same league as Bugthesda really.
I mean, your primary liaison in the first half is a female half-orc paladin who sold her sword to buy a potion of sex change for her tranny wife. Those two are unavoidable and I hated their incompetent guts from start to finish.
Who you can constantly berate and call useless (she even has a hidden 'confidence' stat that can lead to her death if you shit talk her enough). I *think* she's also one of the victims you can eat if you go the Swarm path.
I guarantee you that 99.9999% of the people who played the game wouldn't even know about it if they hadn't read about it online; the single conversation about it is hidden behind a variety of stat & skill checks spread throughout the game.
I read the Nexus mods thread, and was just thinking, "All I want is to be able to take out troonshit from any game that has it." In games I'd want to play, most of it's just removing a line or two of dialogue or changing an image here or there because it's just surface pandering, but apparently being able to find those mods is a sign of evil.
That's in the adventure module they adapt the game from. Amber E. Scott was the writer and she's notorious for adding troon shit in everything. Like that Baldur's Gate expansion from a couple of years ago.
Wait, what’s wrong with Ellis again? I know he got falsely MeToo’d by his ex-wife and had a severe mental breakdown, but is that his own doing?
The worst part is that there was clearly a waste of time and resources since they gave up on both Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem pretty early. Whether it’s by EA or by the social justice brigade, BioWare has been ruined.
