Yea.. the weird changes in tone and mood in this game are why I continue to say that the writing in D:OS is sub-par. I can think of about 10 big situations in D:OS where I thought to myself: "And... that's it?" because I made a discovery that while not PLOT related was a major event to the world that the writing established but the writing ignored it and just plodded forward.
I just expect more from my RPGs ;P
Also I am getting really really wary of RPG's with "Coop" support. Because that means concessions were made that I find more and more infuriating. I want the big hulking SP experiences like DA:I and BG2, and Torment and so on. I don't want "social" gaming. Gaming is where I want to be NOT social ;P
