This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It’s also not like BioWare invented the formula. It’s lifted almost directly out of tabletop RPGs
Adapting tabletop RPGs to a computer game isn't a one to one process, that adaptation basically is BioWare's formula.
That's a tough call. Tabletop rpg vary wildly from table to table, and they gave birth to many radically different kinds of video games. Bioware only dig one kind of these games. They never made a dunjon crawler or a hackn slash for example.
But indeed, they took from this. But even in this one subgenra they still haven't figured out how it evolved around 2015.
