GreedFall reviews talking about the 2000s RPG-like combat
GreedFall: The Dying World occasionally delivers on the potential of this superb setting, but can also feel rushed and, in some parts, unfinished.
Yep!!! I kissed two girls π₯°
GreedFall: The Dying World is my shit

Great write-up. One thing I'll say: no matter what I think of reactivity between games in general, it's not a promise that I think can be abandoned lightly once established as a feature of a series, painful or no.

calls: 'the slow death of death of the author'.
This is SUCH an important topic, especially in current times, and Gaider makes so many great points for it. Characters actions/opinions =/= author actions/opinions. Please think. Draw your own conclusions.
YES oh my god exactly!! In a perfect world, players could be trusted to let everyone roleplay instead of tell everyone how to get the objectively best ending... Some of us like bad endings on purpose! The Karlach one was especially infuriating
Oooooh. I almost missed that it's International Women's Day.
Hire me.
My own contribution was an analysis of how Dragon Age 2's limited development cycle actually enabled a really raw, character-focused story that probably wouldn't have happened if BioWare had more time. www.thegamer.com/dragon-age-2...
Jade catalogued her first experiences with the series' most polarising entry. www.thegamer.com/dragon-age-2...
Stacey explored how characters like Isabelaβbeautiful and sexualβdon't really exist in modern media. www.thegamer.com/dragon-age-2...
Thank you!!!! And God, it is
BioWare's contentious sequel celebrates its 15th birthday this week, so let's take it for a ride.
One-liner references to previous decisions go a long way in making a Dragon Age playthrough feel like it's unique to you.
Romance options used to have spark and edge, but now they're too tailored.
Oh that is so touching to hear π₯Ή I adore the argument Origins puts forward in that regard, and both Anora and Alistair as characters with potentially different styles of leadership.... I should work on this....
A HUGE thank you to everyone who is taking the time to read this! It helps more than you can imagine.
Nothing else to plug, other than the PCRF, a charity very close to my heart give.pcrf.net/campaign/739...
Dragon age 2 I miss you the world needs you more than ever
Thank you endlessly for the edits!! Can't wait to see everything else go up π
Rhi knocked it out of the park with this one. Iβm far from a Dragon Age super fan but this is such an enthralling read.
Check it out and all the other things we have going up for the 15th anniversary! π
As a DA fandom veteran, I was furiously nodding here lmao (even as a diehard Anders defender)
It's here! This has been an utter joy to work on for Dragon Age 2's 15th anniversary. Huge thank you to David Gaider for taking me through how he and all of the writers managed to get this fan favourite story finished, with no time for redrafts www.thegamer.com/dragon-age-2...
Very interesting topic on what was undoubtedly a nightmare to juggle in the sequels. Replaying DA2 now and it's crazy how much reactivity is tucked away there
Full interview going up tomorrow for Dragon Age 2 Day, but here's part of my conversation with David Gaider that I couldn't fit into the main piece. www.thegamer.com/dragon-age-l...
Games media continuing to cover Call of Duty uncritically like any other franchise, while ignoring its substantial role in the rise of Western authoritarianism is one of the greatest morale failings in an industry with morale standards best described as "When they are convenient to have."
Anyway...

I love expanding my horizons and trying new things
Hey hey us lot at @thegamerweb.bsky.social have some cool stuff planned for Dragon Age 2's fifteenth (!) birthday this Sunday! Be sure to check that out!
I hate it when people waste their vote on a fringe party with no chance of winning like labour
