Dragon Age 2 Incoming.

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I started playing Planescape: Torment, but I guess I didn't get over the hump to really become engrossed in the story because I stopped and then never went back. I've gotta finish it someday.

One of the things I like about the older games with 2d spites and card drawings of the characters is that you fill in the blanks more than I would with Dragon Age or KOTOR. It's sorta the same with System Shock 2. The story telling is primarily done through audio logs before everything went fubur so you're visually imagining what happend. It's probably what low budget games will resort more and more too in the future because they can't afford Call Of Dooty budgets (and probably why they will end up being better imo).

I'm not very worried about the changes. Of course I'm not a huge dragon age fan to begin with, but the changes seem enjoyable enough.

 

[Benstamania]

Two places in DAO that I HATE are...

1.) The Circle of Magi... maybe not the Circle itself, but when you have to enter the Fade and run around all of those places getting all of those things to shape shift into... ugh.

2.) The Deep Roads... Bland, boring, bland and... boring.

Minus those two places, the games fun to play multiple times.

 

[Soapy]

I didn't mind the Deep Roads. But that may have something to with me choosing a dwarf origin.

But yeah, no one likes the Fade.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

El Bastardo likes the Fade. Ridicule and belittle him.

 

[El Bastardo]

Bring it on, *****es. Corp can feast on your corpses.

So Amelia just ran off with this Griegor Gray Warden fellow. It seemed prudent since I accidentally got the Blood Mage and his girlfriend busted. Luckily I ********ted my way out of it and got to keep my staff as a bonus.


But now I'm feeling guilty.

 

[El Bastardo]

Duncan is the Grey Warden Commander of Ferelden.

Greagoir is the Templar Commander of the Circle of Ferelden.

Just to clarify!

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Duncan is the Grey Warden Commander of Ferelden.

Greagoir is the Templar Commander of the Circle of Ferelden.

Just to clarify!

You smug son of a *****.

 

[El Bastardo]

(Perfect) Practice makes perfect!

 

[Benstamania]

El Bastardo likes the Fade. Ridicule and belittle him.

Does he also like dipping his hand in hot french fry grease at McDonalds?

No.

<insert insulting comment about your mother>

 

[El Bastardo]

Pah. I can't decide who to make my Awakening team for my Queen Cousland.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Archer dude. Archer dude is made of win.

 

[Franklin Richards]

I knew these woods were a bad idea. Captain Janeway is living in them.

 

[El Bastardo]

Yes, Nathaniel is awesome, though I've currently respecced him more into a dual-wielder with just a bit of archery depending on situation. My character is accomplishing the same thing, though she's based on daggers. And she has a 100 Cunning. She can win in every Persuade attempt and lockpick and trap in the game with no points spent in Coercion or Deft Hands.

And Anders is in. I don't know if I really need a mage for this playthrough, but he fits. So it's down to Justice or Oghren, pretty much. Or both and kicking out Nathaniel.

 

[Benstamania]

See, I was seriously thinking about making my Hawke in DA2 a Mage... but like you said, Anders is in the game. I never made a Mage in DAO because I felt it would have been Mage overkill with two already being in your party...

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Along with her daughter, officer Aeryn Sun.

That's the funnest kind of overkill in DAO!

In DA2, I dare say the funnest kind of overkill will be with Varric and an Archer Hawke. Dual Rain of Arrows!

 

[El Bastardo]

Or Sebastian and an Archer Hawke. Or with Varric and Sebastian. Or, dear lord, Varric and Sebastian and Archer Hawke.

 

[Drz]

DA2 has very big spiders! Putting this in spoiler tag just incase we got arach--whateveryouspellit spider fear!

Spoiler

 

[Nathan]

Alright, took care of the Ser Isaac armor. I'm really looking forward to this game. I'll have so much bonus **** right from the start.

I want that armor, but I guess I bought Dead Space 2 too late.

One freakin week after it came out

Same boat.

Just so you know, there isn't some kind of promo code or anything. All you have to do is to go to the multiplayer and log into your EA account. You don't even have to play a single match. The armor will be listed in your registered game promotions.

Try it. Log into the EA account and then check your EA profile. I only rented the game tonight.
