There are several examples I can think of. Like Zaeed, in Mass Effect 2. Or Kasumi, in Mass Effect 2. Or Shale, in Dragon Age 1. You know what these characters all have in common? They're all BIOWARE characters. So it's not like they don't know exactly how to do it!<br /><br />Your idea of Vincent would definitely work, too.The RPGeniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752937839502693108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268660459652553228.post-22238205696533503272011-05-26T18:01:49.746-07:002011-05-26T18:01:49.746-07:00Man, what's next?

This seems to fall under something a bit more forgiveable, but it's not too far from paying an extra fee for footnotes in a novel. Lame.<br /><br />Worst part is, I'm pretty sure a DLC character can enhance the plot without being so influential.<br /><br />Like, say if Vincent from FFVII was DLC; as is, he's optional, and as close as I can pull from my posterior. He'd be a fresh face in battle, another friend to talk to now and then, and would add depth and context to some core plot points. However, with him out of the equation, the game and story as a whole is still complete.<br /><br />...That's an extreme example, and probably would still be a cause for drama if he were DLC, but not quite as egregiously so.<br /><br />Ecc was here, spouting BS as usual, trying to wrap his head around things he has no experience with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
