Star Wars : Fallen Order (Page 1 of 2)

Everything I've heard has been in the form of official reviews, I don't know anyone who's played it yet. We'll probably get it when it's come down a little in price and the inevitable bugs have been ironed out.

(And I've stopped being grumpy about being unable to customise the main character.)

Eh, I feel a lot of games don't give you any customisation. Or they say you can, but what they mean is that you get to pick what skills/talents/etc you want to learn as you level up.

Apparently it's too much to ask to be able to chose skin/hair colour and maybe gender.

I get that not every game is going to give you DA Inquisition levels of customisation, but a couple of basics (especially for games claiming to be RPGs) would be nice.

This is where you tell me Fallen Order isn't claiming to be an RPG...

Fair enough.

...my point still stands though. 

You can have default canon. I think it's more about avoid conflicts in future games if they give players too much choice as well.

Also, didn't Disney erase all non-film canon - categorising it as "legends canon" - just so that they could remake their own canon with their own films/tv/games/books/comics/whatever from there on out?

You mean like Mass Effect Andromeda

I meant wrt removing the new plot from any previous player choices.

The only issue I took with Andromeda was the fact they released it full of bugs (and stopped patching it because of Anthem) and that if they hadn't associated it with the ME trilogy it could have been a perfectly well received game. I think people had expectations from ME because the original (except the last bit of 3) were so good.

True, but you'd think after the ME3 ending fans would stop expecting stuff from the ME universe to be as good as they could be.

Also, I need to go and have an argument with ME3 as it just deleted a bunch of my saves I tried to archive. I've never seen a game delete an archive folder in a game save directory before.

I like having all the buttons on my keyboard to assign.

Also, it's called back ups. Which - surprisingly - past Lilitia was on top of. Mainly because these saves were pre gaming PC. But post crappy laptop that made me find this site in the first place because KOTOR hated Vista. In fairness, hating Vista is a valid standpoint.

Besides, it's not like I haven't completed this game multiple times before and could easily just recreate that character if required. This just saves me the leg work to get to specific cut-scenes and missions.

I'll make a character that becomes my fave and then I really struggle not to just replay as that character repeatedly. I will make different characters and decide that they will do things in certain ways, such as incompetent Shepard - which was a fun experiment.

But these tend to be the characters/saves that never get finished, or get left for like a year and then by the time I come back to them I've forgotten how I was playing them and then they just turn into my default...
