The moronity of this is truly... remarkable.

So they couldn't come up with anything original, so they steal stuff from Dragon Age?

I wouldn't consider "oil -> flammable" to be Bioware's original idea, you know.So they couldn't come up with anything original, so they steal stuff from Dragon Age?

True. But it is more of recent design. I cant think of anything in the last... 10 years or so that had such a mechanic?

Because I've seen levels where you walked inside partially filled fuel tanks in Jedi Knight (demo), I've seen many a flamethrower with alt-fire mode spraying unignited fuel across the ground or objects, to be ignited by weapon fire in old FPS games or their mods and I've seen flammable terrain (though without option to actually alter this flammability) in Myth 2.
Carry oil and drop oil will be class specific rogue skills and then only if you're level 10 or higher.
OK cool. I never knew of these before. (I don't usually play action games, besides Mass Effect
).Playing basically RPG's and Adventure Games I miss out on a few things.

GW2 has that too, big deal.

Playing different genres broadens your perspective quite a bit.

It's no good to dismiss, for example, FPS games as derpy twitch games.
True, FPS games tend to have derpy plots and focus on killing stuff (I'm noticing some striking parallels here), and indeed require reflex and manual dexterity from players, but they often tackle gameplay and mechanical issues RPG designers haven't even thought of (I'm speaking of old to mid FPS games, not Call of Derp series). I'd say it's because FPS devs lack certain preconceptions in regards to gameplay mechanics that RPG devs have carried over from PnP games. Preconceptions that do far more harm than good on a PC.

Oil + Fireball isn't moronic per se, but I wonder why couldn't the rogues themselves set fire to it instead of requiring a master of the arcane to act as a living zippo. I mean, if you're going through the trouble of spilling oil everywhere, you just need a little spark. Bash your daggers against each other, whatever.
Also, why do fucking mushrooms look like taken out of fucking smurfs?
I hate so very much.

Not so old AvP3 has the exact thing. It was one of the most fun things for marines: spray fuel everywhere in the corridor and just wait for those stupid xenos. Bam, let them all burn.
Xeno Queen fight required it, as you needed to destroy a shitload of eggs in the area, being attacked by a horde of xenos at one time.

If that's indeed Ordinator armor, and I hope to god it's not because WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, ZENIMAX otherwise, they've already made a mistake by making it wearable by players in the first place. But then again, MMORPG.
At least it doesn't look like medieval castles all over again.
THIS TIME ITS MEDIEVAL JAPS LOL

LOL Moronhold.
So, Dark Elves have become Night Elves now?

I kind of thought the PvP might be like DAoC... but they are limiting it to 220 total players per campaign instance. So much for massive epic battles.... massive compared to what WoWfucks and consoletards are used to I guess. Damn, I wish Mythic hadn't fucked up with Trials of Atlantis. Then they wouldn't have succumbed to EA acquisition and WoW might have been averted.... DAoC on the scale of WoW would have been glorious.
Fuck... now I am crying, damn you TESO!

Is this Mournhold and Ordinator?
^ Pimped up Morrowind with MSGO 3.0 looks better than this shit.

Looks a bit like Divinity 2, except Divinity 2 didn't suck.
