Now i have noticed an important classification to that,that was missed.You mean..."sanctioned psyker"? :3
Dragon Age just didn't.... 'capture' me. The Lore is boring and way too predictive ; kinda same was in ME but my Brain kept apparently denying it for my sake of fun. Then also the typical 'big bad dark creatures' in Mass Effect it was far more interesting because the Reapers were not your typical 'Black Evil Monster of Nightmares' but an actual other species which may have or not have their reasons. And as we learned in ME2 and ME3 then anyway the Reapers are not necessarily evil - way more in the contrary even. In Dragon Age.... It's fantasy - so it was obvious that you go march against the most evil creature of the underworld. Lord of the Rings got Sauron. Dragon Age has their weirdo underworld creeps. Diablo has the Devil himself. The only fantasy games which are actually good in giving you a good antagonist are JRPGs because most of the time similar to the Reapers of ME they are not necessarily evil. Just did 'the wrong thing' or want the right thing with the wrong means. The same with Wh40k. You don't have 'the big bad dude'. You do not even have good or bad in Wh40k. You can't tell me that the whole 'Alien & Mutant extermination' of the Imperium is good. Neither can you tell me that the creatures of the Warp are bad just because they want to have more followers - also they chaos gods are actual gods and not just peeps imitating or playing gods like the 'God' Emperor does by accident. The only somewhat 'bad' things are Tyranids but even there we cannot say it's bad, all they do is fight for survival.... Or do they? We don't know what the Hive Mind is up to. The Necrons? They are not just robo-skeletons, they want their damn bodies and flesh back! They want to have their souls back! You can't tell me that it is actual a bad thing! Then there are the Eldar who just want their Empire to be re-built, while ironically the Tau just started their own and try with any means to prevail against all the things that are already established around them! There is no good or evil in Wh40k, only different perspectives. Just as in Mass Effect, whereas in Dragon Age you have the typical Western Fantasy story of 'all "good" races must unite against the bad evil thing'
Thanks for reply! I mostly agree with your commentary there but i will pass over the DA:O is a generic-fantasy on the morality.You played the game for 10 hours only...if you havent liked it then i wont force it upon you.I prefer ME to DA anyway... wat!?
The God-Emperor never wanted to be signed off as 'God' that was the whole problem. That is also why Space marines do not refer to him as 'God-Emperor' they only call him 'Emperor' because they know he is no god. The regular Imperial Mankind population though obviously thinks he is a god and refer so to him. And that is simply wrong. Most likely the Emperors heart would break (emotionally) if the people of his empire would call him actual 'God-Emperor' because that is something he NEVER wanted. And that whole god-bla bla is also what caused the Badab War and other crap. Because like the Emperor predicted and saw over the milleniums he lived on Terra is that Faith into holy beings was over and over used as excuses for murder, etc. Like the holy crusades during 'The Dark Age'. They justified mindless slaughter with faith and 'gods will'. Yet the irony is that the believing and faith into a higher being and of purity guards from the effects of the warp and ultimately from the chaos gods. That is what the Astronomicon basically is. It is the concentrated faith of all beings of Mankind, fed into the Emperor and exponential increased through the golden throne. The Astronomicon can be sensed by all sort of psykers because it is like a force against the powers of the warp. And that is also why once the Emperor actually dies and the Astronomicon 'explodes' it would create a new chaos god and would have a similar effect to the Birth of Slaanesh. *know your lore!* ^^ I wouldn't call it argument. Just elaborating on why I don't like Dragon Age / why ME is better, etc.
Urian, what's your opinion on this one; Is it possible for the Emperor of Mankind to be reborn? There are three theories of it, if I know correctly; The God-Incarnate, The Sensei-Emperor and the Star Child
To be honest my favorite idea is that Sensei-Emperor. But even then he still would be bound on the Golden Throne because that keeps the Astronomicon going. And without Astronomicon... A lot of stuff goes downhill for the Imperium ^^
It's a good theory, but he would die of boredom if he was forced to sit on the Golden Throne ^^ Out of even more context; I would really love it if some author would write a novel where the Great Crusade succeeded and the Imperium would now be using the Webway. Should make for an interesting read :/
It is good that the Imperium doesn't use the webway.... How many Necron Worlds they would have resurrected by now would be enormous <.<
