@Karkarov: That's not what I got. I got about 25 wakestones, a two-handed mace and sword that are gold and white, a similarly colored staff and archistaff, and a full set of Abyssinal Armor. I could look up the names, but I know I saw a better staff on the vendor in the Chamber of Remorse.
When i died the first time at the final battle, I thought that was the true ending. Turning into a dragon. Anyway, the ending (The confrontation with the dragon and the post-wakestone gathering) were amazing. It explained a lot and felt satisfying. Probably my favorite ending of any game in a long time.
While I don't disagree that this is an issue that should be at least noted, here are a couple things to think on:
1. This happens in every industry. Video game enthusiasts have this inferiority complex because of the medium's youth, which makes us more prone to this sort of navel-gazing. There are beautiful, paid models at car shows and movie premieres, too. It is as distasteful as it is historic, and to expect it to go away is expecting a retreat from human nature.
2. This site's audience isn't the one that needs the message. We hold no sway in the ESA, and 99% of us are not in games journalism. I suppose this is your best sounding board, but I come here for editorial content, not cultural revelations or hot scoops.
@TyCobb "Booth Whores." Way to reinforce the negative stereotype, man. Some of them could be mothers, show some respect.
@Char12: You wouldn't beat it in a rental unless you played a shitload per day. I think 30 hours is the low end of the spectrum. I'm at 40 and not finished yet.
