I think the DA setting is, on its surface, more 'generic' than the Mass Effect setting. It's once you get past the 'oh look, elves and dwarves AGAIN' that it starts to show some of its more interesting aspects. I personally found the writing in DA2 to be some of my favourite BioWare writing to date as a whole, and I honestly wasn't a huge fan of much of the DA:O writing (not because it was poorly done, but because it didn't really pull me in).
I'm a biased source, of course, but I think both franchises have some pretty interesting aspects to them.
Dude who do I buy a dictionary for at bioware? Because Poisonous is only dangerous if you eat the fuckers.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

wait Z0re what?!
list of Citadel races:
Asari, Drell, Elcor, Hanar, Humans, Slarians, Turians, Volus
list of other races:
Batarians, Collectors, Geth, Krogan. Quarians, Reapers, Vorcha
Extinct Races:
Protheans, Rachni
and I skipped a bunch of other ones. Every one of those races is extremely fleshed out and almost all of them want very very diffrent things from each other. You mention the Batarians but if anything they're one of the most boring ones!
This isn't the ME thread so I won't actually go far into this but you are crazy if you think ME doens't have more clashing cultures than DA
The only way to change the look of some one is to romance them properly.
FALSE! You can get Armor upgrades from certain shops and chests during quests.
Do the upgrades actually change the appearance, though?
I mean, it's still false because Aveline changes armor from Act 1 to Act 2 if you do her quests in Act 1, so there's that, but still, do they?
No, from what I noticed, Armor upgrades don't seem to change appearances. Then again, I never found most of the armor upgrades for companions. In the end, they didn't seem to need 'em anyway.
Are you seriously calling bullshit on a guy who tested the game?
I'm calling bullshit because I BEAT the game, and completed Isabela's romance. I KNOW it's false.
Did you complete it with the correct response's, because if you give them wrong, She stays at default look.
And Avelines armour changes from the Prolouge leather's to her guard armour, not Act 1 to Act 2. and its not an upgrade, just a plot look, as she joins Kirkwalls police force.

Thank you Vsove, its one of those pet peeves I have, even the biologist on river monsters used it wrong and I had a sad.

No, if you complete her quests in Act 1 and she becomes Captain of the Guard, her armor changes again from Act 1 to Act 2. It's nicer, with shoulder guards and it loses the ugly orange cloth on the chest.

this is true but YOU have nothing to do with it, its plot progression. We are talking about player upgrades.

Wait.. what? How is Isabela's look supposed to change? Because I got the big final romantic moment at the Gallows, and her appearance didn't change for the last segment.

While I admire the writer's intention to keep Sebastian true to his character, was anyone a bit economically angry during the Act 3 climax when you have to choose between him and Anders? I was pretty accepting that I spent the handful of dollars on a character that you don't even get until Act 2, but then he's cut off if I choose Anders altogether? It really seems like a character that had good promise, but only is around for half the game.
Has anyone experimented with a Rival-Sebastian to see if he stays? Under such a circumstance it would seem sensible for him to not abandon you, given his loyalties would lie with Starkhaven and not the Chantry.

This probably was already answered in the other thread, but if you use a respec potion on her after you romance her she gets a corset.
