Do you normally create a version of your own family?

lol, nice 🙂 That's what it's about. :D

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

I didn't want to  say anything, but you are 100% right on both counts 🙂 I was alive last century and still alive THIS century. And probably next one too, right? I'm not sure how good looking I'll be in comparison to now, but I guarantee you someone will be like, "awwww, isn't he cute?". 😂 I will assume the same about you! As for the underground dwelling, we may have no choice but to bunker down once the leaders of the world decide on some crazy schemes. Ah, that's why you play games like The Last of Us. Smart.

Bah! A deal is a deal, friend 🙂 Connecting to EA App now... Tense moment until I realize it's not on that platform. Opening GOG... Tense moment now. Come on now GOG, load. Installing now. Even more tenser moment *looks at watch and looks at time left for download* ok, this... will take probably 30-60 minutes to install. 🤣

I seem to have the original game, enhanced, but ima try the 3rd one since you'd be playing the 3rd installment of Dragon Age. If ever you need some background info on the series, let me know. I'd be more than happy to talk to you about the franchise.

I know that some games have 18+ "content", yet it's interesting that it's not considered AO (adult only) as opposed to M (Mature). The crazy part, is that it's not most of the game that's like that, but some minimal parts of the game. And that is lots of games 😂

And naw don't worry, any people possibly not suited for those games live at my sister's.

Oh! I can't remember if I asked, did you play the Mass Effect franchise? It's undoubtedly the best franchise imo.

If you don't like combat per se in terms of "active combat", the original Neverwinter Nights has this unique system. There I said it! Unique. Basically, you can pause the game using the space bar in the middle of combat, and then queue whatever action(s) you want. Such a great thing to have. You may have other systems if you decide to switch to them, but don't quote me on that, as it's been a very long time.

I can't remember in which expansion of NWN it was in (it might have been in the base game), but there is this epic sword. I can't say too much since I don't want to spoil anything should you choose to play the game. The original NWN has 2 expansions - Shadows of Undrentide AND Hordes of the Underdark. They are included, I am sure, with the Diamond edition. But that sword I mentioned, is the BEST and COOLEST sword in any possible game to date, I promise 🙂 And you'll know which sword I mean the moment you obtain it.

*Katie be like/ Ima befriend that huge ogre there* 5 days later in the world of Hyrule, a priest is like, "we are gathered here dear friends to mourn our friend". 😂 Sorry, I couldn't help myself *smiles*, as you left the door wide open for a joke here.

You know... he probably wrote it. He was most likely on set and was like, "You there, mascot. I want you in this shot with this man. Surprise me!" Needless to say he was surprised.

@Midevil_Chaos 

Really hope you enjoy it! 😊★

I will jump into DAI without knowing anything, as per usual. Lol. I do that with every game. I know it's sometimes difficult to get into a game you don't know anything about, but I always find it fun to learn as I play. I enjoyed that about TW3, I knew nothing accept the characters bio's at the start. Of course then I learnt more about the backstories while playing through the game, and then eventually reading more about the lore outside the game to further my understanding of some of the references. Not that you need to, as CDPR do a great job with explaining the back stories IMO anyway. 😄

Yes! Lol. Even in TW3 playing the part of a monster slayer I didn't hurt any of the trolls in the game, they're just too sweet! 😂 So Indeed, Hyrule would be at permanent risk of monsters taking over with my dislike for combat in game. 🤣

Surprised! That is the word to describe what I thought of it too! 😂 In fact that entire film could be called surprising. 🤣🤣

Also, 100% who wouldn't want to be an elven mage! I know I do anyway! 🤣 

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

I hope so too 😂 We shall see how good of a game it is. Ima probably start the game later tonight though.

I have to admit that in most games, I absolutely hate playing any type of wizard/mage class. I've never been good when it came to playing with those. I once failed miserably playing as a Cleric once in NWN. I tried, I really tried... try killing an enemy with a wooden staff not meant for hitting. That being said, I absolutely love playing as a mage/wizard (or whatever they call it) in DAI. There is something about playing with a controller that is awesome with the game's mechanic. I am 100% sure you will enjoy it.

That being said, for some reason, whenever you boot up the game, it won't recognize the controller unless you turn the controller on first before booting the game up, not sure why. But, just thought I'd let you know. I've played the game with both a 360 controller an Xbox One controller fine thus far.

In terms of the character's bio etc., you learn everything about it ingame. The character isn't based on any characters from the previous games (they never are). That being said, you will learn a lot of him/her/them throughout the game. There are some recurring enemies you may have encountered in previous games. That's all I will say.

I... uhm... didn't realize you would actually let Ganondorf take over Hyrule. 😱

There are movies out there that you could totally watch and wonder what's going on in terms of the plot. Others, like Police Academy where you wonder why we haven't heard from that franchise again,  considering it has 7 movies (and an animated series and 1 or 2 season(s) tv show).

I am happily surprised we were able to exchange as much as we did so far. I'm usually not really a people person.

@Midevil_Chaos  

I think you'll enjoy it especially now I've started DAI. 😁 

So far I've spent longer than I'd like to admit in character creation. Lol. I think I've played for around 5 hours, and 3 of them were in character customisation. 😅 I actually told my friend (the one I mentioned before) that I've finally started playing DAI. And she left a message on my Animal Crossing town bulletin board saying "You better romance Iron Bull or we won't talk anymore" 🤣 and the second said "you won't get one of the best moments in the game 4real if ya don't do that". 🤣 Idk whether you've ever played Animal Crossing, but everyone who comes to your town sees your messages on your bulletin board. So I think if anyone else saw that they will be very confused, including me! 😂 I haven't even met his character yet. I've literally just met Cassandra and only played the first quest. Lol. So thank you for not giving any spoilers, unlike her, who was way too tempted. 😂😂 

And nooo I wouldn't let Ganondorf do that. 😂 I just get on with the combat, even though it isn't my favourite in any game! lmao. 😅

And don't worry, to say you're not a people person you do well! 😄 I haven't ever posted on here, before about a week ago, despite having a EA account for 8 years! 😂 I actually came to report the face bug and then probably not log again, but I somehow ended up on this thread. 😂 So thought I'd post a little message on here, as something made me want to. I don't have discord or reddit, or anything similar. So must admit, usually I just read other peoples comments, rather than post my own. What a lurker I am! 🤣

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

Good! I played around 3 hours so far of TW3 Wild Hunt. Do the choices make an actual difference in the game? As far a I remember, for DAI, it does.

I am with you on that. Character creation is my favourite part of games, aside from making decisions. Which is probably why I love DAI, there is something so... amazing about that game. That being said, what race and class did you pick? As for Iron Bull... prepare to potentially not be friends with that other friend. 😂 Don't get me wrong, Iron Bull is pretty cool. But... there is a specific woman in the game I prefer myself. That being said, I won't say more. As for Cassandra, she's... something. I won't say good or bad, but she's quite something.

So far with TW3, it's very different mechanic wise. I've had trouble adjusting myself when it comes to physically moving my character lol. That being said, gog revamped the game and added content to it. Now it's 3rd person, with a mod for 1st person. I remember when I tried years ago, it was 1st person, and I was like, "nope!" I'm still getting used to moving... and I left my horse behind. It was easier going to my destination in a beeline than having him go off road (with the auto ride or whatever they call it), since it would take the left road when the destination was on the right. So I was like... aight, ima run there instead 🤣 No wonder, with a horse named Roach. 😂 He must be wanting to avoid humans.

No, I have never played Animal Crossing. I had an Xbox One until the Switch was out for like 4 years. Then, I bought the Nintendo Wii U. 😂😂😂 I was a generation behind, and only got it to play Zelda tbh. Then... I heard Front Mission (1, 2 and 3) were being remade for the Switch, so I bought a Switch later down the road. 🤣

Girl, we both know we'd take one look at Ganondorf, while pointing at a cave, and be like, "ima hide in there. I wanna survive, I don't wanna give myself up as bait or food for that thing. Although, getting food first would be wise. And water."

To be honest, I usually don't post on here either. I had my reasons as well (nothing nefarious, I promise lol), and then someone named Katie started posting lol. We got along, and I was like, "ima continue posting, because she's cool". To be frank, I don't have friends that really game (aside from my Discord group), so I thought it was awesome having someone who knows games and that I can talk to. In all honesty, my Discord family sometimes talk about cars and other mechanical stuff and I'm like, "..." and then I'm like "... ...". Thus, I am grateful I can talk to someone who I assume (but I could be wrong), doesn't ever want to talk about that type of stuff lol.

The way I see it, is that you have "people" and then you have "people 😎" (or is that "😎 people"?). People tend to stress me out, but people I actually get along with, I'm cool with them.

@Midevil_Chaos 

Indeed it does! The choices you make have a massive impact on the story and dialogue you get. BTW I've never seen TW3 from a 1st person perceptive. The games from TW1, TW2, and TW3 were always in 3rd person. So I have no idea how you ended up thinking it was a 1st person game? I wouldn't have played it if it was a 1st person game as they always remind me of shooters, and as you probably would've guessed, they're not my forte either. 😂 

Also without giving any spoilers, Roach is a mare. Geralt always has female horses, specifically mares, and always names them Roach. 😊 Also remember, if you do make a certain decision you're not to keen on the way it plays out, you can always re-load. 😄 I actually choose the the same choices I choose the first time I played, as I'm very happy with them. I will say there is a series of questions early in the game that refer back to TW2. So that might confuse you a little, so if you run into a problem with them,  just ask and I'll explain them. 😄 Btw you'll find TW3 is incredibly detailed, I personally, probably have around a 1000 hours in it and still find new things out when I replay. I almost forgot to say Cassandra voice actress sounds so much like a characters in TW3 Blood and Wine expansion. My favourite expansion of TW3, personally. 😊

Also, I too have a favourite lady in TW3, of whom that is I won't share. No spoilers here! 😂 

Yes! totally, I'd be like "just chill dorfy, is it that important you own all of Hyrule? We can cut a deal, so you can have your own little area, then no fights needed"  🤣

"Nothing nefarious" 😂😂 I wouldn't have thought not posting on here was? LOL. That would mean I was the most nefarious person going. 🤣 As I literally haven't posted on here ever in my 8 years of having an account. 😅  And yes! I literally don't know anything about cars. All I know is they have wheels and a engine that should start when you turn the key. 🤣 Like I said before, anything that looks mechanical and complicated I won't touch. Major respect for people who do know what they're doing, unlike me. 😂

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

Well then, I am curious to know what choices I can make. I dunno. I had tried several of them, and when I played them, they were always in 1st person for me. I dunno if they were forced mods by gog? I dunno *shrugs*. 😵 But I now get to try it in the 3rd person view. I don't play 1st person games, but for other reasons - I never liked the idea of playing as "arms" + a weapon. That just makes no sense to me and never did. 

I just meant with a name like Roach... I feel bad for the horse. Thank God she doesn't understand human speech. Imagine if that was someone's nickname, I'd be horrified by that.

As for making choices, what if the choice you didn't choose end up being more interesting though? Would you watch a playthrough to see the other choices? Or you would stick with your initial choice? Colour me intrigued!

When I play the ME franchise, I often play a certain way so I end up seeing different choices, because I couldn't know what choice was better without knowing. To be fair, I sorta-ish play the same as you to a certain degree because if I can get rid of a specific character in the game for example, I'd always pick that choice (if I hate that character). That being said, it's hard at that point to feel fully content. So I understand why you play the way you play.

1000 hours you say? I can dig that. Especially if the game is amazing. Who knows, maybe you'll end up playing DAI just as much or even more. 😄 I think that could be the case *me/ crossing my fingers*

It could be the same actress, btw. You can google it (as I have no idea which person you're referring to in TW3). I've seen some voice actors in different franchises lol. It's so weird though when that happens.

If you'd call him "dorfy". I think he would would very confused for a moment, and be like, "what did she just call me? What even is a dorfy?" Oh... I see. Smart move. You would do that to run away, expecting Link or someone else to make "peace" with Ganon. I gotchu.

Your nefarious post at the end. That was good LOL. If anything, what I had said sorta sounded suspicious LOL, so hence why I added the words "nothing nefarious", which yeah, is to clear the air. That's just how I am lol. I assume a lot of people would find that odd to say the least XD *shrugs*

I knew it! You ARE a Drow. Maybe not in DAI, but at least in real life. 😎

I am so glad you don't like cars. That is the best news I've had today! 😂

@Midevil_Chaos 

I have never played The Witcher 3 through gog, so I'd imagine it's on their side as to why the game was odd. I've played it on console, and also watched other playthroughs after I'd finished my own, and all are in 3rd person like RDR and many other RPG's. 😊 The game was developed to be 3rd person. So I have zero ideas why the game was in 1st person for you. 🤔

The name Roach means something to Geralt. but even in the books he doesn't share exactly what the name means to him, even when people ask. I was like "Roach is her name, really?" at first too. There's never an explanation sadly as to why he chose a name like Roach, for a sweet pony like...…Roach. 🤣

I have watched many playthroughs of alternate choices, and how it changes the ending. I watched xLetalis and Jinzee/ProperBird on YouTube for that. I have my own "canon" choices that I always choose, so therefore I call them my canon. 😂 I didn't play with other choices. As I just couldn't bring myself to choose anything that might lead to a bad ending. I love my canon ending to much for that. 😂 But couldn't help checking out all the alternatives, and it made me more happy with my choices. 😊

Yes, 1000 hours! It was exceptionally easy too, I love that CDPR gives you your money's worth when it comes to content for sure! I am enjoying DAI a lot so far, so maybe 1000 hours will be possible to meet some day! 😄

She's not the same VA, I googled it as soon as I heard her voice, Lol. 

There's a lot that can go wrong with cars too, so they've always scared me rather than excited me. 😂

@Midevil_Chaos 

I also forgot to say I choose Elven Mage as my selection for DAI! I'm also playing as a female for my first playthrough. 😊★
