Reading his book now. Never heard so much obvious logic turned into revolutionary revelation.

Never picked up a Dan Brown novel, have you?

I always got the sense that the dialog in WoL was written by multiple people, probably even including the actual map level designers. As for the actual SP mechanics itself, it doesn't really need fixing, that's something I've always enjoyed. I'd say if they were to fix anything it should be re-recording lines, fixing cinematics, and redoing missions & objectives. The pre-rendered cinematics are definitely not changing from their original vision, and we know those are crucial to the story.

So, you think that WoL, as it is, could have been made a good-great game by changing dialog and in-game cinematics?

How much of the missions/objectives would they have to change? Not counting that one with the mothership, obviously.

I realize that this has been covered before, maybe, but it's been buried beneath months of back and forth squabbling over just how bad the WoL story really was.

I kind of agree with Gradius, though... the campaign was fun. Gimmicks can be fun.

Nah, I'm just saying that the pre-rendered cinematics are not as easy to change as dialog once they get into development. Or at least, I thought I read an interview which said that.

No, although that's close but loses since its still fiction.

Anyone whose spent anytime in a field that requires you to ignore the ignorance of the masses already knows everything Nate Silver is saying instinctively.

2/3 of the original price for an expansion? Sounds reasonable enough.

If you get it from retails it will be less than 40$.

I'm just so... disillusioned with games these days. So many things that should have been AAA day-1 buys only turned out to be terribleh. The only major game companies I can trust to deliver cohesive, well thought, well written, and fun games anymore are Valve and Bethesda

No Bioware bruh?

[DemolitionSquid]

No Bioware bruh?

After the massive disappointments of Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3, and SWTOR? BiowEAr is dead to me.

[TheEconomist]

SWTOR and DA2, sure? But ME3 wasn't that bad
