Well that's true if you find a honest trader I guess.

This is how I always do your nasty ass hair.
There is a soft limit of 100-200 (JaseC knows the actual number) due to post limits and modbot being unable to edit giveaways if there is too much text.
I am incredibly amused by the fact that we just had this DA:I love thread which started with "I Hate WRPGs".
Since that one was locked, I missed my chance to quote that and reply "No wonder you like DA:I"
That's a bit brutal. Funny, and I support it, but brutal nonetheless.
When does this start? Can you do it right out of the gate? How do I do it? I want to start a new company cause of achievements.

The real question should be - "Is DA:I a better WRPG than Final Fantasy XIII a JRPG?"

I woke up to find a random hairy one eyed monster on my taskbar!
Yea... I think I'll just banish it to the start menu now.
It was just Desura's new icon / mascot, you pervs.

That thread left me speechless. 'You should like this RPG because it is not an RPG.'
Thankfully PC is having an RPG renaissance with games like Dead State to enjoy.

I'm still mad that DA:I went the Skyrim route.

It's a cooking game with Monster Hunter-like elements.
They're doing attack 'drills' / simulated attacks in danish airspace and flying close to Bornholm. (For those of you that don't know; it's the island the russians occupied during part of, and for a long time after the second world war)
Needless to say, Bornholmers fucking hate russians and are also somewhat terrified. So hurray!
--------------------
Anyway, gems. Boosters. Why do all these great buggy escapades take place when it's night here? :'(

I ended up writing a Steam review for Run or Die.
I found this game to be quite fun. It's simple yet addicting and requires more skill and thinking than it could seem at first sight.

so gems are going to make a come back, right?
I still have some in my inventory. Ended up making about $1 last night with FF13 and LLTQ cards before I ran out of gems.

All I know is I'm stuck at 8 of 10 holiday cards, but selling all the duplicates and foils is awesome.
For me DA:I is BioWare's recent efforts from both the DA and ME franchises distilled down into one homogenised entity (well that's either good or bad depending on your point of view). Though the way I see it, as just a snack for some of the big boys coming out next year.
Or more along the lines of DA:I is like a buffet where you have lots of small appealing little side dishes, canapes and entrees but as a whole the meal is rather unfulfilling and if left alone for a while each element goes stale. Where as any flipping Obsidian game is like a banquet fit for Henry VIII with a choice of starters, a great big hog roast for the main course, piles of fruit for dessert and all surrounded by complementary foodstuffs. Of course once you've binged out of that you can feel a little sick.
Well that was a rather odd analogy.

All I know is, I'm hungry now.
And I'm about 40+ hours deep in DA:I now and things are just started to getting old. Time to plow through the rest of the story.

I can see this quote in the next trailer for Obsidian's latest game.

Are you just doing a bunch of crafting? I'm holding out in case there's some sort of points game, but at this point I think they're planning on doing the auction instead.

How do you make money like that? I bought some 3 cent backgrounds that turned into 80 gems each, but then it's 1200 gems (45 cents) to get a single booster of a 5-card game, which equals 3 cards that would sell for maybe ten cents each. I must be doing it wrong
Also, I was saving up cards to make badges during the sale, and then sell the holiday cards like before, but it looks like the holiday cards are only $.23 now?

C'mon gems.
The gem stuff wasn't the only ridiculous glitch that slipped in yesterday:

There were backs of 1000 gems going for $0.03 last night. That was what all the fuss was. Buy a bag, make a booster, sell the booster (or open for foils), repeat.How do you make money like that?

Speaking of which, is the entire auctions system gone now? I don't see anything about the gems, boosters or auctions.

Yeah, selling the dupes is really offsetting the cost of crafting.

Then you'll quickly go through the anti-climatic final main quests and be disappointed.

^ that bad? hm.
I had some backgrounds and emoticons I turned into gems, used those to buy boosters and sell the cards.
Had some orders in for more gems, but they got pulled before. Gem sacks were .03 for 1000 at one point, which would make things a bit easier.

I'm just mostly excited about borderless fullscreen.
Here's one of my issues. Never does the game tell you 'hey buddy you might not want to do all these checklist and fetch quests just yet or you'll burn yourself out but you do need to do some at some points to obtain more of this resource to unlock new areas and unlock story progression but it's all you choice you know'. To be fair I twigged it pretty quickly and devised a path of stuff I want to do when and where but you could spend hours pissing about and not get anything done. It's no where near as bad as Kingdoms of Amular but so far outside of the critical path and the companion missions I don't have that much of a connection to the world or events going on.
I'm sure by the time PoE is in my hands I'll be regularly sprouting much more stupid things!
Well that and after 12 long years Metal Gear is back on PC and might actually be a bang up job this time. Though 21:9 support might push me over the edge to get another monitor or finally get a projector.

Hmm despite the acclaim the more I hear about Inquisition the more I don't want to play it =/
I agree, that was an extremely disappointing last boss. After beating all those damn dragons and having crafted my ultimate weapons and amors, that fight was a joke.
And I was also expecting something more, instead you start the mission and immediately fight him. No last choices, no sense of urgency, no big emotional reward.
I was a lot more interested in what happened next
with Solas and Flemeth
A few of my lagged out Bag of Gems orders showed up on my market page this morning, I'm going to keep them there as a reminder of gempocalypse. I think while the overall market was definitely pushed down, the typical cards which were already in the 8-12 cent range survived mostly unaffected, but we'll see. Winter Sale card prices are starting to creep up as well.

Someone made a PC exclusives thread a while ago and it was closed, maybe you'll have better luck
I crafted most of mine so I'd have the cards in place for the first day when the prices usually spike, but I held out a few in case we have a similar metagame to this past summer sale.
