  1. Decision making, to be precise, in an RPG. I would like to see an extensive, developed system of decisions, in which you get to choose a lot in your game and to feel the consequences of your actions as opposed to a straight line of a story in which you have no actual choices, making it something of an interactive show.-Dovydas

  2. A bunch of mostly rock and various random songs with mostly political messages I find on the video site not to be mentioned. That's not actually a representation of what I listen to, it's more of what I listen to most of the time. I listen to a lot of stuff, and I'm not particularly biased against any genre.-Dovydas

  3. 'Course this is totes my opinion and everybody is welcome to disagree ^_^ All I know is I'm not getting that amazed, agape feeling I had when Halo 3 was announced, and furthermore when other FPS and such were actually competing with it! But here's to a good year in videogaming, and I wish all the titles that end up selected for the best!

    I'd agree completely if not for the lack of The Witcher 2 on that list.-Dovydas
  4. Hinder. The lead singer is worth not one penny, but the guitar riffs, omigod.Rockstar by Nickelback. Nickelback sucks, but I love the song.Social networking sites are not to be mentioned - WWDragon Age II. It sucked kind of, but I like it nevertheless.... Yeah, I'll think of more later.-Dovydas

  5. Okay, the impression I got was slightly different than LL's. Basically, the way I understood it, a man loves a woman, but she's not at all what he interpreted her to be, and he can't bring himself to love what she really is. As for criticism, well, darn, I have a confession to make, Dovy doesn't understand poetry. Like LL, I did not enjoy the first two lines as much as the rest of the poem, but whatever, overall, I liked it. Good work.-Dovydas

  6. Bionicle was actually pretty childish, IMO. Ninety nine out of a hundred deaths were reversed at some point in the future, and the deaths that remained permanent were at their very best undeservedly en masse portrayed as incredible. And the story was pretty mediocre overall too. The whole point was saving the world, not much more. Also sorry LL, but horror's never been my thing, can't really say.-Dovydas

  7. What's with the heated debate all of a sudden? The one thing this topic has definitely shown is how different people's tastes can be, and how different writing can be from person to person. No one here is forcing anyone to write while adhering to strict rules or anything. And for the record, no, most of what he mentioned is not childish. I know grown men and women who still cry when Mufasa dies. The only people I know that play Pokémon are my age (21) and older. And don't even get me started on Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, what with both containing bloodthirsty monsters and dismembered limbs and corpse-filled bogs and killing teddy bear-like Ewoks. Anyway, there's no need to get defensive on what's better or which styles of writing suck or what a story needs and doesn't need. Like I said, you can tell stories in a vast number of ways, there is no right or wrong way to go about it.

    Agreed. And Lord of the Rings was really not childish. Star Wars - maybe. Lord of the Rings - absolutely not. Children tend to not understand it to begin with.-Dovydas
  8. Honestly? Thank Lego for this new policy of theirs. It'll give us a chance to stop trying to get every stupid idea, and the stupid ones in particular, canon.-Dovydas

  9. Dany is probably my most hated character.Really. I sorta liked Viserys. I have this tendency to like the really weak characters, so that's probably why-Dovydas

    Was it because Dany has no more claim to the throne than Joffrey, Robb, etc, but she's acting all self-righteous over it? Calling Stark TRAITOR TRAITOR while plugging her ears when Barristan offers to tell her about Aerys? Her chapters are also kind of meh. I don't care about your crusade to fight slavery, Dany. Focus of the plot, Iron Throne. Not Meereen.
    Yeah, that's more or less it.xD-Dovydas
  10. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. Eh, you might've guessed. :P It's had a darn good story, an excellent decision making system in which every action you take has very impressive and realistic consequences, a feel that perfectly matched that of the books that it was based off - and incredible graphics and soundtrack to top it off.-Dovydas

  11. Yeah, wasn't quite what I meant - sorry for making that unclear. I'm not rigidly against morals in a story, but I would rather not come off as preachy and imposing with my works. I want them to be enjoyable to people from all types of philosophical walks, especially due to my own personal moral system being more or less, "Morals don't exist." I mean, there are some things I do consider wrong, but not much I consider universally wrong - and thus I would rather not give off such an impression to my readers. In other words, I'd rather not try putting across some big only hypothetically true moral behind my story. I'd much rather have the plot and the characterization and the world drive the book. I won't try to make it an allegory intentionally, and, well, if some of my beliefs make their way in, well, it was an accident.-Dovydas
