  3. You and I have similar dispositions and feelings with respect to a lot of games. Totally agree FNV had much more to offer than Fallout 3 in this regard. And I love that Dragon Age never tells you whether to love or loathe any particular faction, what to believe or not believe about the world, etc. You can play through it as a devout Chantry follower or an anarchistic rebel mage with equal validity.

  4. Dragon Age: Origins worked so incredibly well because while I found a lot of its choices black-and-white (oftentimes good is the first in the list, evil is the lowest; see Bethesda's Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect), it didn't explicitely say whether or not it was good nor evil. It was just a choice that would affect the world. No morality bar, just your companions' different dispositions to social taboos and Ferelden (and beyond in Sten's case) politics. My companions' feelings rarely entered into what I felt were ultimately better ways of living in Ferelden, which probably says a bit about my own politics. Of all the games that really got me thinking about moral choices, Fallout: New Vegas was what allowed me to view them through a critical lens. While karma exists and plays only the teensiest role, it pales in comparison to your standing with different factions, each with their own flaws and merits. I found that playing politics gives much more roleplay opportunities than being good or evil, and that the politics can differ game-by-game, world-by-world whereas you kinda know what end of the binary moral spectrum the game will allow. New Vegas' political problems barely escape the Strip, and yet that's far more interesting to me than deciding how to deal with the issue of national hydration in Fallout 3 in either a good or evil fashion.

  5. I like to sleep in the pitch dark, so a tv on usually bugs me. Sometimes it doesn't bug me, but that's when I have already slept for hours and my brain can block it out a bit easier.

  6. I'm actually super hyped for that. It's been a long time since I played it, but if I remember right, the ending of that game left a bad taste in my mouth. Didn't he get stuck in some eternal eldritch limbo under the lake at the end? Would definitely be interested in seeing a continuation of this story. Just so long as I don't have to fight anymore impossible possessed construction equipment xP

  7. So far they are yet to even land one success in gaming and the game studios. I'd say overall Amazon game studios would take some time for working properly in this space.

  8. Get him drunk on football game night, afterwards plug in your system and pop in a non thinking game. I did that as a teen with my step dad. He drank on football sundays and at the time I had sega genesis with John Madden Football. Next thing I know he is laying on the ground with pillows playing my Sega when nobody is around. MF Was a fun football game.
