Biggest thing holding the original back was the mediocre gameplay. Funny how if you actually put some effort in you can let the player assemble their squad without the main story taking a backseat to unending recruitment and loyalty missions. Which is not to say ME2 is bad of course but the gameplay was such an unbelievable improvement over ME1 that people tend to remember it a bit more positively than it really deserves. ME3 was almost as big a gameplay improvement over 2 as 2 was over 1 and the story was structured much better but obviously there was a lot of other stuff wrong that has been discussed to death already.

My biggest beef with the trilogy after the bungled ending was the way that every sequel pretty much completely abandoned any plot threads the previous game(s) had created.

I was going ot make a joke about, well there are 25 of them. its a popular game. But then I realized there aren't. they are actually numbered based on date.

Farming sim 22 was the last one.. (there's 9 main titles.)

but it IS a popular game. farm sim 22 has 27.7k players right now. 105k peak. averaging 50k for the last 2 years.

They should get Jeremy Clarkson to sponsor them. Sales would explode.

I decided to start over with a new character playing a warrior. Reasons are two-fold:

1) The Companion warriors can't hold aggro for shit and I ended up tanking everything as a Mage which meant I mainly kited most boss fights.
2) The more interesting companions did not pair as well with my mage + the two warrior companions are just annoying personality-wise.

It's a shame because I was enjoying playing a Mage, but it was just getting silly in terms of the two companions being just window dressing that trigger combos on occasion.

I forgot how fucking based the qunari are in DA:O
Fixed that for you

The Qunari are just Muslims, atleast as originally intended. Not the free Palestine let's import these poor misunderstood noble savages of today but the unknowable foreign invaders with cult like adherence to their strange, brutal, and unrelatable religious doctrine that governs every aspect of their life.

They are based on the seanchan from the wheel of time series which were based on islam

Qunari were a well done fantasy race by DA2. Their sheer physical prowess made their mundane armies far more powerful than the Ferelden equivalents. Their gunpowder weapons didn't even exist among the other races. The only reason their invasion even lost is because the Elf and Human mages were 10x more powerful than anything the Qunari had. Solely because in their doctrine they don't turn mages into autists with no emotions like humans and elves do but totally subjugate them and enslave them to prevent them from gaining power. Due to their perspective on magic and the veil.

One that is totally justified with how fucked up magic is in the game anyway. They just didn't do the culling ritual the humans invented.

It's for Europe but:

FFVII:Rebirth is also only one platform btw



And like a gazillion times lower than BG3 or Elden ring.

Thing is if it wasn't for all the woke garbage and the Dev who doesn't know which pronouns to use I probably would have bought this.

I've probably spent triple on pixle tanks in the last couple months than what this game costs.
