Mass Effect had less characters. If they were more party characters, I'm sure bioware would fit more of their tired cliches.epic FAIL. how do you get a robot in mass effect? when did mass effect have a wise mentor? I think he should of played the games

didn't he give the first AC a 9.0?positivebalanceAaaaaaand? I would give it a 10/10 easy.
[QUOTE="Revan_911"][QUOTE="88mphSlayer"]It's still the same story. And none of those universes is original. Story really matter in an RPG and i don't want to play the same story everytime i buy a Bioware game. In ME2, i don't know if it was better or worse, they skipped the 4 locations and focused entirely on getting the characters and their personal missions, while in the other Bioware these types of missions were optional. What story do you find original? It's not about if the story is original but: They've been using the same storyline in all their games!1! What annoys me is that everyone keeps praising the story and the universe when it's dumb and a total rip off.and that's a problem... how? you don't think those universes are different enough?

It's the same story, one set in Star Wars universe, other set in LOTR Rip off universe, and third set in a Star Trek/ Star Wars rip off universe.[QUOTE="Revan_911"]
[QUOTE="88mphSlayer"]
well **** lol, here we are talking about character archetypes and how personalities, motivation and overall story arc can change widely within a single archetype
but sure they're the same in basic single-sentence plot form, but they're nothing alike in backstory, detail or consequence

Not so blatantly that it insults my intelligence. Oh look an ancient evil has rose DarkSpawn/Sith/Reapers and you become a part of a special group Warden/Jedi/Spectre during which you put together a team, visit four locations, foil an assassination attempt, and ultimately save the world. Correct me if im wrong here.[QUOTE="Revan_911"][QUOTE="88mphSlayer"]
well then my suggestion would be to stop playing games and stop reading books and stop watching movies and stop watching tv
because it's all recycled

It's the same story, one set in Star Wars universe, other set in LOTR Rip off universe, and third set in a Star Trek/ Star Wars rip off universe, you are being too much of a Bioware fan to realise the truth.But they have different backrounds... :(Hmm, let's take a look at Baldur's Gate:
The charming male lead - yourself
The naive minx - Imoen
The wise mentor - Gorion, who meets an 'all too early' tragic end just as the description says
The b*tch - Shar-Teel or Viconia
The murderous sociopath - Xzar
.......
I guess he's right.....

I would rather play a game that is not the same recycled story with recycled characters from the previous Bioware game TYVM,[QUOTE="Revan_911"][QUOTE="88mphSlayer"]
i'll take Bioware's unoriginality and blandness over everybody else's unoriginality and blandness any day of the week
at least Bioware's is fun

[QUOTE="skinny_man_69"] Wonder why :roll: 88mphSlayer
there
More proof of Biowares unoriginality and blandness

There may be some surface similarities between character archetypes, but at the end of the day Bioware has some of the best, most memorable and unique characters out there.nocoolnamejim
That is true but won't everyone love the same character over and over again since they have the same personality and characteristics as the other person ?
Hence the reference to similarities between character archetypes. I'm not saying that there are NO similarities between different types of characters, but they are extremely thin. . For example, when comparing Jolee and Duncan: Jolee is sarcastic and irascible. He's got kind of a "get off my law young whippersnapper!" attitude. Duncan is quiet and polite, restrained and very diplomatic. They both serve as "mentor" type characters, but that's about the extent of their personality similarities.Jolee - Duncan is far fetched. Carth - Alastair - Kaidan Same dude
Jolee would be more fitting when comparing to Wynne...amirite?
