EDIT: Chill out folks, so many haters... ;-) I like both companies & games & Canada too, spent 100+ hrs on DA/DA2 + all the DLC and 250+ hrs on Skyrim + all the DLC...
RELAX ppl....take a deep breath before going COD on this post...
Just watched the DA:Inquisitions trailer and this reminded me of the following discussion between Bioware & Bethesda employees...
[Somewhere in Canada]
Bioware A: Everyone loves Dragons, let's create a new game and let’s call it Dragon Age
Bioware B: I love it! We have this 10 yr old graphics engine that we never really used, it’s just sitting there
Bioware A: Brilliant, should take a few weeks
Bioware B: I have an even better idea, let’s not put any dragons in it! How about a purple lizard instead?!
Bioware A: Man, you’re a genius! Oh wait, let’s ship the second game before the first, wouldn’t that be nuts?
Bioware B: Ok, we’ll just rename the second one with DA1 and the first DA2, sounds good?
Bioware A: Both shipped baby!!!
[Somewhere in Maryland, not far from where I live]
Bethesda A: Ok, one more of these Scrolls games, do we have anything else?
Bethesda B: Nope, we’re out of original game ideas except for that Dishonorable, wth is it called already?!
Bethesda A: So a bunch of cities, trees, lakes & what else can we add to this one…hmmm….
Bethesda B: can’t think of anything….isn’t that enough?
Bethesda A: It should be enough for those nutjobs spending 100s of hours doing the same thing all over and over again, crazy ppl
Bethesda B: Oh wait, let’s add some birds too
Bethesda A: You mean sparrows?
Bethesda B: Nah, vulturs or eagles maybe
Bethesda A: Something bigger, they’ll be hard to shoot down, can’t you see how gamers suck at bows?
Bethesda B: ok, it’s sort of medieval times, let’s put some freakin dragons in it baby!
Bethesda A: You mean purple lizards?!
Bethesda B: Naaah the real deal, we’re not in Canada here! Think American muscle version of a purple dragon!
Bethesda A: I like it, we’ll call it Skyrim with no mention of dragons to add insult to injury
Bethesda B: That’s what I’m talking about... Speech +10 Happiness + 20 Armor + 2 Ownage + 50
Bioware A, Bioware B, Bioware C…..Bioware Z999 : ..........................speechless with arrow(s) in several knee(s) & multiple other locations CENSORED….
In short, to Bioware, hope you learned your lesson & you better deliver with DA this time…………B*!!!
