I realize this is slightly off-topic, but I feel like Milk's post needs to be addressed. I however don't want to force it on anyone, and as such, spoiler tag. (To be fair, it does contain the smallest spoiler known to man.)

Great, if you only read the red lines then yeah, it looks bad. Then again holding my hand over my eyes to only look at my feet and walking over traffic areas generally don't work out well either. You only talk about romancing because that is where the selective, self-creating experience comes in RPGs (with any social elements): who you're with. In FO3, you talk about the interesting people you meet in quest places and added to that in FO:NV you talk about your companions. We've talked a lot about the fights in the game as well here in the very thread, but unless to strategize or to say we've beat it and "it was a fun fight", what is there to ponder about?
I'll go ahead and spoil something right now. In Dragon Age 2, there was a dragon. Sorry if I spoiled the purchase for you by saying this, but this is something I must declare. The graphics on the dragon was what I'd imagine a dragon to be. It had scales. They looked like scales. They were shaped in the form of scales. It breathed fire that looked like fire minus the radiant extra fire-color theme that is in all games. I don't get where you're getting those graphical images from, I don't have those and I'm on medium. I'm sure if I put them on low and downloaded a Morrowind graphic mod I can change them to look similar.
Also, stop pulling the evidence from 4chan. It's not that there are many trolls. It's that they all go to that forum to entertain themselves, in this case, the entertainment is the drama value there is in underlining things that support their statement while completely ignoring the rest of the message.
Everyone interested in production of gaming knows that console to PC is way easier than doing it the other way around. BioWare even attempted doing this with DAO and it didn't work out well (there were some kinks). I don't get why this was included. To add to that, the art from DAO and DA2 are very distinct, people just don't find that a positive thing but that's a matter of opinion. A good comparison that I believe you pulled in the other thread? Ogre from DAO to DA2. Look at the distinction, hot dang.[/spoiler]
On that note, I'm hoping that there's going to be some mods for this game. I heard the modding viability went up as they properly constructed the game in a traditional matter now (console -> pc, ironic how that makes it more moddable considering consoles don't have any, but oh well), but I've yet to locate any mods worth the time (unless you have arachnophobia. Spiders turning into dogs? Hell yes.)
e: whoops, that mod is the mabariphobia file. There's one for spiders as well though.
