Well Morrigan is very haughty and depending on how you treat her she can become very snarky very quickly. I wouldn't really call it an "I'm better than you" attitude and more of a "be an ass to me or be stupid and I'm going to bite you hard" attitude. To put it bluntly I would call her the "Evil Companion" of the game, considering while most companions dislike evil choices, she'll always get a little + heart when you do something particularly naughty, like learning Blood Magic.
Morrigan's romance is probably the most complicated in the game, I certainly wouldn't call her a slut-puppy. You have to actually work at being nice to her and knowing just what to say or you'll never her approval up (unless of course you have that one DLC that lets you give +50 Affection gifts). Even once she starts having sex with you it won't last long, after you hit a certain point in the game (I think it's after you beat whatever 3rd area you chose?) she will refuse to have intercourse, while all the other companions are more than happy to keep romping. Well that and it also has to do with
she needs to be able to make a demon baby to stop you from dying to the Archdemon and if you're mounting her all the time she might get pregnant too early and ruin the ritual, thus killing you anyway
I hated her and yet she was the first one I romanced while playing the game. Opposites attract I suppose. I just wanted to win her over and see if any sort of warm personality lied under that bitchy exterior, and it was worth it in my opinion. She's actually quite complex.

dear god, the scrapping
judging by what I read on the employee reviews of Bioware, they were probably ousted out by their own crew in a established form of Mutiny and now the entire ship is run by SJW asshats, to which they're sailing it right towards a small, harmless-looking floating piece of ice
@Ragemage Ahhh, forgive me, I seriously forgot everything about that game, I should play that awesome game again. All I recall is Morrigan being my obvious choice, even for a small, studly dwarf with such a handsome beard of manliness. Hell, I haven't even STARTED the DLC. I think the only one I started was to get that Golem Companion because of how broken..she is? I think it was a she.
Also, I remembered a dog companion, and I loved that fucking dog, I only wish I had a rottweiler skin for it..him? goddamn, it's been too long.

I really don't know how to say this but... you sound drunk as fuck. I swear, those kind of memory problems face all my drunk friends. I'm waiting for the 'ehhh, fuck it.' at the end of every forgotten piece of information.

Drunk? Hardly. It's been years since I played the game, and since New Vegas came in afterwards, the fond memories I have for it kind of enveloped over other games.

Oh I don't think you're drunk, you just sound like it.

What really gets me the most is hearing Biodrone after Biodrone say "Inquisition was Bioware's best selling game! People who don't like it are just haters!" To that I say, so fucking what? The Ghostbusters remake was Melissa McCarthy's highest box office opening movie but that didn't mean that it was good. EA was advertising Inquisition as the next Skyrim. "Skyrim changed everything", "We wanted a open world like Skyrim.", "What we loved about Skyrim...." Now Skyrim made a shit ton of money and EA wanted to get into that action. So they advertised it as a "game that fans of Skyrim will love!" only for said fans to play the game and go "What the fuck is this shit!? Why is there gender and identity politics in my medieval fantasy game?" It may have sold a lot but no where near what Skyrim sold and EA has been chasing that dragon for 4 years now(No pun intended). It also didn't help that The Witcher 3 came and blew Cisquisition out of the water leaving it to be forgotten expect to mock and ridicule. More salt to add to EA's and Bioware's wounds.

That account, nope. It buggered off once it's deception was uncovered.
NO!Especially when the journey wasn't all that good. Plus why would I want to get another aneurysm from having Star Brat justify the lobotomy of the Reapers and their idiotic reasons for reaping. The journey isn't fun when the destination is getting slammed into a brick wall at 100 MPH.
Eh, I still enjoy ME3,.even if it has got a really bad ending (by the time I played it, it was talked about to death already so it didn't bother me so much).
Still, as much as I love the first 3 games and consider them to be one of the best new IPs from the last generation, I don't care at all for Andromeda. It seems to be a rehash of the last few games.
If it gets good reviews and differs itself from what I think it will be like, I may pick it up 2ND hand.
However, anyone I cared about at Bioware has left, including Mass Effect's creator.
That is kind of the first step that worries me.

I don't think the Reapers were ever interesting antagonists. The first game I think is actually the worst one in this regard, the Reaper just acts like the IBOL RACIST SPACE CHIKEN's ship for the entire game, then it just goes Shyamalan Plot Twist and reveals that it is Cthulhu, but a Cthulhu that actually takes the time to go on a rant belittling humanity instead of actually acting on what he says he does and not even consider Shepard as anything worth spendind words on. Then to undermine the whole Cosmic horror aspect of them Sovereign gets defeated by getting shot at by a bunch of ships, talk about just turning into a giant enemy crab at the end.

Yeah, the first one is certainly the weakest entry in the series so far.
It works well as a Space Adventure sort of thing, I think the sequels improved on making the threat seem much bigger and something that is to be feared.
I'm hoping Andromeda does at least take our problems with the previous games and try to do something new with it.
While I said I have little interest as the main people behind the original trilogy have now left, I'm sure a fresh pair of hands could do some good, they can have their own interests in on the franchise. That's not to say they aren't batshit crazy, I really feel if the devs weren't so hard pressed to try and be as PC as humanly possible, but in a way where they come across being more offensive and saying extremely dumb shit, I would look forward to this game more.
I don't really have high hopes for it, if it turns out good, then I'll be pleasantly surprised, if it turns out great, I'll probably buy in new and sing its praises, if it turns out bad, I would just shrug it off as another wasted IP, if it turns out awful, I'll do a 19 hour review tearing it apart.
I say this as I have more faith that Bioware would at least put out a better game than Bethesda. Bioware are the only other RPG company with the resources that could still put out good RPGs, and if they focus more on what I want them to focus on in this game, that could essentially save the Company and in turn, right any wrong they had done in the past. If they are going to focus on what I think they are going to focus on, than I'll just be bored and probably won't bother with its sequel.
I'm hoping Bioware prove me wrong as there's things I do like when I read about ME4, but I've been tricked before. I am looking forward to its release, if only to see what the end product turns out to be.
Anyway, I know that Bioware is considered a joke on these forums, and fair enough, I don't take that much interest in their Dragon Age IP, but I am hoping for a 10/10 game from them this time around. Anything less and it's what I expect it to be.
On another note, as someone who is from England, I really wish devs would stop with the sort of accents they get their Voice Actors to go for. It just sounds fake as Hell, no one talks like that other here. It's very distracting from what should be an immersive World Builder. Plus it sounds cringey as Hell.

I have the same problem with games having characters speaking in spanish for extended periods of time, they all talk like robots with direct translations and the actors usually sounds like either spanish is their second language or they were just given a phonetic srcipt and they didn't even know what the fuck they were saying (as a recent example look at the trailer for the Walking Dead game, one of the characters pronounces Hector in the most horrendous way possible), like, how hard is it to get someone that knows how to write in spanish? And if it is so hard then just don't do it... Save everyone the cringe.

The entire logic of how technology advancement in the series is also baffling as fuck, especially how Humans literally just said "Okie" and literally nerfed their own weapons and scrapped nukes, something that would fuck any Reaper's day up, but nope, apparently everyone at the council agrees weapons should be nerfed exactly at the point where Reapers can handle the firepower. That moment when you realize the Reapers aren't that threatening when the only reason the races are having a hard time fighting them is because they handicap themselves. Fucking derp.
Cringey game or not, I refuse to buy such a fucking game that's basically feeding the asswipes behind it.

Where'd That 6th Toe Come From?
I think that goes for a lot of languages as-well in games. I heard people speaking Farsi in Spec Ops The Line and 1979 black Friday and I remember thinking that no one I knew actually talked like that.

When video game characters speak Russian they speak it pretty well, but when they try a Russian accent... ugh.
AHHHH NU CHIKI BRIKI I V DAMKE!

The memes, the memes are overpowering me... too be honest, I love the music. It reminds me strongly of typical cheery Russian beats.

I really appreciate the Metro games for the Russian audio option. Sure I can't understand the chatter and subtitled dialogue but in return, the atmosphere was really improved (plus no faked accents).
I really hate fake accents. Either I want the original language - with subtitles - or they should simply speak like normal people. It doesn't make sense in my opinion, unless you have a character that actually DOES speak an accept. Like people complain, why do they have UK accents in Enemey at the Gates? Well you dimwit! Because they are supposed to speak an understandable language to you, just as like if you speaked perfect Russian, in that sense it makes sense that the Germans in that movie speak perfect GERMAN, because they are supposed to be German soldiers fighting Russians, and the movie is made from a Russian point of view.

Nothing beats the European Spanish dub of Inglorious basterds, where the Language change was indicated by the characters affecting accents while speking in spanish.
