The E3 2008 Thread
est:
Tycho linked to some gameplay footage from Dragon Age which he seemed to be having multiple orgasms over but to me was supremely underwhelming. It looked a lot like something done in the Aurora engine, which is not something I would expect from a brand new seemingly flagship title Bioware game.
Boro_Bandito:
Yeah, I see what you mean on that. The trailer looked clunky at best really, and I realize its probably in-game graphics, it just didn't grab me at all. Apparently its going to be another one of those "are you evil or good?" kinda games, where according to the guy in that press conference a huge part of your gameplay will be affected by your Origin story, which will be unique each time you play or some bull like that. I mean, I like these games, but they never seem to live up to that epic feel or that "unique experience". It always ends up to be do whatever you want and their will be dire consequences down the line that will change the entire story, but it turns out that all there is are two alternate endings or some shit like that?
Was any of that coherent? I still like Bioware, but I haven't even finished Mass Effect yet. I mean, I only bought it a few weeks ago and then my Xbox got the red ring of death, so I haven't been able to play it and I'm a lonely lonely man...
Storm Rider:
The thing about Mass Effect is that the ending is sort of like Fallout's in that it's made up of several events that each correspond to a particular decision. So, it can technically end in a lot of different ways, but those all depend on decisions where you only have 2 or 3 choices.
KvP:
hmmm, I don't know about that. It seems like most of the decisions you make in the game are going to factor into the next games (we hope) but the endgame itself is composed completely of the choices you make before the final battle. The Fallouts ended with slideshows describing the aftermath of your decisions in all the different cities and areas.
Storm Rider:
Right, but what I meant is that there were several different choices you make that each correspond to an event at the end, as generally as I could to avoid spoiling what exactly I was talking about. They are definitely backloaded towards the end of the game, yes.
