"I though this was going to be the new Oblivion."

That is an actual quote from the latest Dragon Age gameplay video, which of course was over run with brain dead Bethsoft fan boys. The thing that amazes me the most about you average Bethsoft fanboy is their lack of understanding of RPG's outside of Bethesda's McRPG garbage. So today we are going to go over some rather stupid quotes I've heard from Bethsoft fanboys about Dragon Age.

"I though this was going to be the new Oblivion."

What? Why would people even think this. Since first being announced Dragon Age has been called the Spiritual Successor to the Baulders Gate series. It was never going to be like Oblivion in the first place.

"That was the slowest sword fight I've ever seen."

Again, if Bethesda's fanboys knew jack shit about WRPG's, they would know that that real time with combat with the ability to pause the game and make battle plans has been in the WRPG genre for well over a decade.

"He paused the game and choose which enemy to attack, just like V.A.T.S"

For the love of god people, the pause and choose feature in Dragon Age is nothing new, and Fallout 3 most certainly didn't invent it, that's for sure. Oh yeah, V.A.T.S sucked.

"I though this was an RPG, not a strategy game."

Strategy game? In that case....I though Oblivion was suppose to be an RPG, not a first person shooter with very light RPG elements. See what i did there, however unlike the Bethsoft fanboys response, mine is the truth. Bethesda games are action games with mild RPG elements.

So here's and idea Bethboys, use your fucking brain for once before lumping any new RPG that comes out as a Oblivion knock off.

No Elder Scrolls V says Todd Howard

Speaking at the annual QuakeCon this week Todd "The Hype Machine" Howard said this, "We are working on our next big game but we are not talking about it.”

So, what's their next big title exactly? In all honesty, it's gonna be another Fallout game. Since picking up the license on 04, they said they planned on making plenty of Fallout games and with Obsidian working on a spin off title, Fallout: New Vegas. What better way to keep interest high than TWO Fallout games. I mean this is Bethsoft after all, they've got to milk FO for everything it's worth as fast as they can.

But, surely Bethesda will improve? One would like to think that, but again, this is Bethesda we are talking about. They might tweak VATS a little, improve the animations slightly, and well, that's probably about it. Bethsoft is able to get away with rehashing the same crap over and over again. It worked with Fallout 3, so it will work again and honestly, this is Todd Howard we are talking about, he's more than likely just creating hype, but I guess time will tell. Personally, I can live without another of Bethsofts McRPG's.
