Ah shit, I forgot all about Leliana when I was claiming that all the origins characters were great... guess I just got caught lying. I couldn't stand that bitch. What a brain case. And that lisp was fucking wearing on my nerves. OH GOD, I hope everyone from Orlais doesn't sound like that! I'd rather everyone speak wookie than go through hours and hours of Emma Stoning.
@Unkindled her accent wasn't the most annoying thing about her she was just really boring in general. She could have been more interesting but she keeps mentioning all her secret agent stuff in passing and instead wants to talk about dumb Andraste or some other stupid story. I guess they wanted to juxtapose Morrigans persona with hers but I think her bad/dangerous girl stories would be cool to hear from her good girl persona now.
also her character model looked like shit

I've been well... alive. I just got to the second act of my third playthrough of the witcher 2. First it was vanilla witcher 2 when I sided with Iorveth. Then the enhanced edition came and I tried Roche's path. Then I had to go back and try Iorveths path, the enhanced edition, before the release of The Witcher 3.
Anyhow, my character was a female dwarven girl if I am not mistaken who loved Leliana. We even had censored sex and stuff. To me she felt really nice. Maybe because I bonded with her and got to know her better. Alistair... well I think I got him to be king and saved the day with Morrigan bearing that child or whatever it was. It's been 4 or more years since I played DAO, so I don't remember all that much. All I know is that it seemed to be a happy ending and no one needed to die.
And why the hate on my sweet Leliana?
PC gameplay and controls look solid if not optimal. Faces aren't rendered that well, likely the result of cross generation support because BF3 is way more impressive visually. At 20:38, Cameron talks about the ambient conversation system. In lieu of a cut scene, the camera zooms in and you maintain control. I really hope TW3 does this as well. It's never made sense to me that every single conversation needs a cut scene. This system feels more natural.

I just find her infinitely annoying in every way. Nothing personal :lol: Unless your name is Leliana of course
Lol.Faces look very good an natural, each of the have distinct faces. Great voice acting too. Out of all the characters presented I like Josephine the most but I like the others too. I really like that there will be more mounts than horses, aside from WoW I can't think of a game that lets you ride a hart. Armors look great, nowhere near as nonsensical as I expected. Not sure how I feel about 8 abilities but remember that you have 3 slots for potions/bombs so you actually have 11 bars to use, which is enough I think.
I really like that this was a more informal stream, with the devs joking and laughing. You can tell most of what they said wasn't scripted which makes me trust them a bit more.
In all the other videos I had at least one thing I disliked but I like just about everything I saw in this one. Overall I am more optimistic after seeing this.
Still not preordering though (or any game for that matter)

Not all engines allow models in the active game world to move there lips or have complex expressions. That'd be my guess regards TW2, must look out more closely for such in the TW3 vids.
and I certainly didn't hate Leliana, I just didn't use her. Lets face it did anyone really mix up their group once they had 4 complimentary ones? I'm remembering perhaps the greatest weakness (for me anyway) in DA:O, it's initial linearity was off-putting to replays.
Relax. It was just my observation. Every time I come to this thread there is a discussion about companions going. May be pure coincidence though.
Sten was interesting and informative of his culture, Shale was also, all the rest were the usual squeeing cutesy morons. Course the goatmen and dwarves turned idiotic in DA2 so meh.
Edit: Dog was allright, but that's just fucking copying Fallout 1.

Didn't like anyone else huh? For some reason, I pictured you as an Oghren kinda guy :lol: Easily my favorite character in Origins.
Idiot who couldn't handle his ale. Dwarven culture was one of the few interesting things in Origins, so they place the usual trope from every other game to represent it. Shit lazy writing.
I loved all characters, with the exception of Wynne to whom I was indifferent.
No game succeeded in engaging me emotionally as much as Origins.

Well, I think their Mass Effect series has way superior characters and storytelling after all. I was not emotionally engaged at all in Origins. But Mass Effect on the other side could actually get to me...
But the game with my biggest emotional engagement is probably Witcher 2, closely followed by the Walking Dead games.
