This is the part I disagree the most. I am an artist myself (music) and I never seen art with this goal. In my opinion, Knowing what people "need" is the job of the marketing department, focus testing etc. Sure, most "entertainers" perform with the audience preferences in mind. But saying that a tr...

In which case I probably need sunny days and fluffy bunnies. ;) Being serious though, that may be true in some instances. However, there is a certain amount of pretension associated with artistry that cannot be ignored. But perhaps, 'positive' is a better word than 'happy'... I disagree. Art is not...

Interesting discussion... I guess it depends on what you personally look for in games, and what you expect to get out of them as a result. To be frank, and these are general comments, I don't play games to feel frustrated, irritated or unsatisfied at their conclusion. Like most, I get enough of tho...

For example, if you get frustrated because you voted on a politician but he does not get enough votes to get in office you might as well do not vote on the next election, you might vote again on him, you might vote on his adversary, you might leave your country, you might change your name to Grusht...

What'd be nice is if the game doesn't end after the main quest so that the player can go back to doing side quests. It's true that we technically can load up a save to just before the final quest and do all the side quests, but this just isn't the same. It makes no sense at all for Enderal to conti...

I think that the power to shape the world via your actions or not is rather tied to the overal game mechanics. By that I mean that open world RPGs benfit the most from having more decisions and different outcomes based on your decisions than other games. Even if the differences are subtle. Skyrim f...

I get your points and agree that it is not designed as a wRPG experience. In fact, my personal opinion is that far too many games nowadays have followed that "I live a hero" approach rather than Enderal's "I live a story", but that's me. However, I disagree that it has no replay value. Ever since t...

I did have my own concerns regarding the rather negative ending, and posted those thoughts in a different topic. I won't spam it here as well, although it's arguably more relevant to this thread, but here's the link if you are interested: http://forum.sureai.net/viewtopic.php?f=212&t=11111&p=88234#...

I can think of three possible DLCs and two of them would adress the ending somehow. 1. A prequel story of some sort in which you do not play as the prophet and that would try to answer some of our questions, maybe with more hooks to the Nehrim mod or more answers to the Veiled Woman role 2. A sort ...

Still, note that I wouldn't be at all concerned about a DLC following up the Star City ending, which would be about what the immortal Prophet goes through after his choice of becoming a sort of "light-born" for the new world. Plenty to explore there, which could lead to how he reacts and influences ...
