Atheism in Dragon Age: Origins

bit-tech: I’m playing Dragon Age: Origins in my spare time at the moment. My character is a Common Elf Rogue and I’ve had a hard time getting back into it since our review. That’s partly to do with the fact that I’m just not as enamoured with swords and sorcery as I used to be (nowadays I prefer lightspeed and lasers), but it’s also that I have a problem with the way the in-game theology is presented to players as a foregone conclusion.

A lot of games have religion as part of their storylines, from mythical creatures in God of War and Okami to churches in basically every RPG. I play games and don't tie my religious beliefs into them. Growing up a Christian teen, I was sort of dismayed by the thought of all these fake religions created for various games but I outgrew my old beliefs and moved on toward a more accepting attitude. They're just part of the story, no need to get your religion of lack of religion involved.

Making a fake religion is usually a good way of reviewing the issues of the day brought up by current real world religions without causing offense.

Thats one of the main benefits of fantasy and sci-fi, if its a made up religion then you can say what you want about it.
try saying similar thing about real world religions and you open a whole can of worms.

Too much preachy "The Maker" crap. It was like playing a video game with my grandmother.

I think Arena Fighters are the worst fighting subgenre to go to. Why havent the west gotten Shonen Jump games in the style of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2? Or Anime fighter like DBZ Fighterz but not just dragon ball? Arena Fighters just arent very good fighter imo. Even the best Arena Fighter series Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm I feel is pretty mediocre as a fighting game

We need more AAA anime games that are single player story driven, like you are experiencing another arc or something within that show. It's either fighting games or games that feel shallow with not much going for them, the kind which are made for the sake of it because the fanbase will eat it up anyway.

I want to see a proper well made game by great studios of Cowboy Bebop, Tenchi Muyo, Sailor Moon, Dirty Pair Flash etc

Helldivers 2’s SEAF Artillery is Only as Valuable as Squads Want It to Be

Helldivers 2's SEAF Artillery is one of its most cerebral side objectives, but only if players take the time to make it worthwhile strategically.

There usually not much of a choice for the shells you get. I always go for mini nuke,napalm,static field and high explosive. Sometimes you have to settle on regular explosive or smoke. It’s sort of random what shells you are given but that’s how I choose them. I always do side objectives as they give you extra xp and I’m not anywhere near max level
