(Anonymous) 2024-07-13 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)bioware was a game company that basically pioneered the option to have an evil route in video games going back all the way to the KOTOR series, and made romance options in rpgs popular. then they started moralizing in their games. i guess it was only a matter of time before they got rid of the 'evil option' altogether.

or in other words, 'you can't be evil anymore even though we've been allowing this in pretty much every rpg we ever made'
this isn't hard, anon

(Anonymous) 2024-07-14 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)the "too evil" justification is weird and i would have rather they just not give an explanation like that at all. but i'm not going to be pressed about it, esp if the game makes up for it with better subclasses.
this just sounds like more complaining for the sake of complaining about a game that isn't even out yet.
Re: DRAGON AGE
(Anonymous) 2024-07-15 02:24 am (UTC)(link)in my ideal dragon age game world rather than trying to merge it with combat tactics as a specialty id instead make it story mode options. like how in inquisition you had special dialogue choices at times for your race/class option, mages would every now and then get a little "blood magic?" option for solving problems. especially if it gave you an instant success for stuff it would hammer in how tempting it is and give more of a chance for genuine repercussions for using it.
