the soldier I knew was so disappointed when the US pulled out of afghanistan. He realllllly wanted to go kill some people.

yooooo who the fuck is calling me a zionist

how is tongue kissing a fetish

What do you want enough that you'd be willing to go through puberty again for it? Literally the worst time of most people's lives. We dive headfirst into our second puberty and are grateful for the opportunity.

Sick user name chair boy

Wow. You're probably just posting this to cover for yet another shitty take.

clear your cannon, fellas

Nothing better than PUMPING IRON with my BEST DUDES. Lets get fucking SWEATY bro. I can't wait to see how good you look with your GAINS.

That one is too hardcore for me

What market can emerge to take a bite out of youtube? All I can think of are tik tok, video games, and books. Youtube makes plenty of money off of podcasts. I doubt nebula or similar will grow enough to take a sizable portion of youtube's userbase. Alternate hosting sites might be neat but I don't think enough people are tech literate/savy/informed enough for that or are simply too lazy to seek out stuff like that.

They probably aren't going to kill themselves. They've cornered a big enough section of the market that they can count on a large portion of their userbase staying. If this change increases their revenue by 45% and reduces their userbase by 30% its still a net gain. The longterm issue here is losing the creators that make really high quality content. But most of their revenue comes from people like Mr. Beast and random beauty vlogger and angry gamer man. So idk.

The people yearn for an anti-capitalist city builder

Yeah thats fair. Sorry you've been duped by the game like that. A couple of games have done the same thing to me, fallout 4 being the most prominent example. It sounds like you never got to play trespasser, which would be a huge shame (to me).

I super agree. Most of the actual ground work of the rebellion was laid in supplementary books (that I haven't read). They really should've restructured the plot so that ending the mage rebellion and recruiting your chosen faction would've been the first two acts, instead of only the first act. The plot went in a lot of different directions, which made it unfocused.

I challenge the idea that you work with the reasonable moderates though. Fiona worked for years to make the rebellion happen. The reasonable moderates are people like Vivienne, Wynne, Cassandra. Fiona started a violent revolution to free her people. The ones who you fight are essentially cells that went rogue.

if it makes you feel better I was actually in my first semester of college

DAO was the first decent CRPG in 5 years when it launched. People got pretty attached to it I think. There are a lot of people who seem to view any deviation from that formula as a personal attack. Even though they're had 10+ years to grieve that combat system in dragon age games. One nice part about the changes is that the "hardcore crunchy crpg" crowd seems to be insuferable. Its like they are all resetnful 35+ year old cishet white guys. I think moving away from some of the DAO design choices has improved the community a lot. I'm pretty close to seeing people obsessed with dark and gritty things as a red flag.

Since inquisition we've had 2 pillars games, 3 owlcat games, 2 wasteland games, DOS2, BG3, disco elysium, solasta, tyranny, shadowrun hong kong, and a bunch of smaller, combat focused, indie titles. Jeez typing it all out like that really shows how many there have been. Personally, ever since I played hades and elden ring back to back I've become quite partial to action based systems. I used to be married to RTWP gameplay but I like that games that let me be kinda dumb while playing. Those pathfinder games make you work for every move goddamn.

I hope bioware delivers on your optimism!

You can control them in the Mass Effect way but not the CRPG way. You can tell them who to attack, and when to use their abilities. Although, I'm not sure if you can tell them where to move. Although, without cover mechanics I doubt thats super important. The game will feature some kind of combo system, so the abilities of you and your companions should have some satisfying interactions.
