@sunny Yeah, I usually have one party of favorites I play with almost exclusively, but in DAI that wasn't really the case. I really loved Varric and Bull and Dorian and Cole and Cassandra and Vivienne. I even liked carting Solas around for the interesting interactions...once I modded the game so that banter always fires on the timer, instead of going hours without.
@sparks He's a sympathetic character. I get that. He's also an asshole.
Varric would never do us like that.
@tempest The companion one? Sera? I more will not forgive them for making her a MANIC RANDOM PIXIE GIRL. lulzsorandombees like fuck off with that shit. But then, I hate elves, so I loved that the elves were both ugly weirdos. Screw you, racist grandpa.
@tempest said in General Video Game Thread:
I really enjoyed Inquisition, aside from all of the characters being god awful trash heaps (except Cassandra and the Iron Bull guy).
DEEP BREATH um wow you take that back Varric Tethras is the best Dragon Age companion ever, even if he did get sad between 2 and Inquisition, he is still my fake platonic true love. (also cassandra and iron bull are gr8)
I had to throw a couple of girls who were having sex out of the bathroom when I was bartending, so I could close the bar. At my last worksite I walked into the bathroom and there was a girl in there EATING a CUPCAKE. At this office there's a chick who routinely goes into the bathroom with no shoes on. I mean, they clean our bathrooms here several times a day, they are never in bad shape. But ew.
Fuck people who make microwave popcorn in office microwaves. Like, if you want to go stink up the break room, fine. If you plug in a microwave near your desk and nuke this fake butter nonsense, fuck you.
Like...a rp game? Or any game?
Eh it was pointless anyway to call out an argument fallacy when I was just stating a negative opinion. Best stated and dropped, so no worries.
@thenomain I didn't say anything about boxing, that was tempest.
Not sure how "This setting doesn't appeal to me" mutated into "you shouldn't enforce your setting". Straw men!
@tnp said in FCs on Comic MUs:
@tempest Keep in mind it's 1964. There's no tolerance for gays. In fact, the word's not really in use yet. Homosexuals are considered deviant by most of the government, the country, and the world.
And this baffles me as a game choice and is the reason I would never play this game, much as I love superhero comics and hero/villain rp in general.
@ixokai said in FCs on Comic MUs:
Remember when I said we wouldn't tolerate anyone being a jerk to someone for playing a FC wrong?
The thing is that's never happened
Maybe I'm a pessimist, but I think it's far more likely you just haven't heard about it.
@tnp but is @ixokai going to take steps to protect players if the /playerbase/ cares that they app a bi or gay FC?
@ixokai said in FCs on Comic MUs:
Seriously, all of you on this wrongfun whining and nitpicking and all OC's are the only sane way to comic, blah blah.
I never said that so i dunno what you're on. Maybe you quoted the wrong person? Maybe you didn't really read my statement?
But that's part of the issue, too. I have a hard enough time, on the game I am part of, making people accept what I define for the setting. I'm glad your experience has been so breezy but let me tell you: mine has NOT. So, I'm not wrongfunning anyone. I'm saying what I would not do, and why. And now I'm restating what I already said, because that appears to be my fucking lot in life.
@arkandel But there IS a reason, and the reason is: I have things I would rather do with my time than 1. define that and 2. defend my definition endlessly
I mean obviously I'm being fippant, if you are down to spend your time that way, excellent. I would never, ever staff on a comic game where people could play published characters.
@prototart said in FCs on Comic MUs:
but I also think people tend to forget how many periods in the books
See this right here? this right here is the reason you don't run a hero game with FC. I cannot even imagine the sheer amount of time taken up by people correcting/telling/complaining/opining about how things were at some point in the books.
No, I mean some people only post every now and then. Cheaters.
By the way, he's too modest to ever say it, but Apos' ratio is 2.065!!!
@emmahsue I mean, do you think everyone who is not the princess should be weeping?? I think there's room for a lot of meaningful lives that aren't wearing the crown and the puffy skirt. But I would say that. Since I'm not the princess.
