Dragon Age 2 Incoming.

[El Bastardo]

You know, that's how I'd picture Upset Spideyfan looking. Go figure.

Wait, did they pay you for using your likeness?

Apparently DAO players will obtain the Blood Dragon armor in for DA2, kewl.

 

[El Bastardo]

Maybe it'll be useful in this one, for purposes other than just selling it off.

Just played the Xbox 360 demo...took a while, but i loved it.
The game can´t here so enough

I'm still a bit dismayed that they put Wolverine in this game.

 

[Drz]

David Gaider seems to be loved by fangirls for all the romance characters he does, so Wolverine seems like a good choice? He's also the lead writer of both DAO and DA2. He wrote Alistair and Zevran in DAO.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Does anyone know of a place where all of the pre-order bonuses are laid out? I've got 7 listed on my Bioware profile's promotions list, I know I've got more coming when I pick up my game, and I don't even remember what half of them b****es are.

 

[Benstamania]

Ok, finished up Awakening and the DLC. I wonder.. what did you guys do at the end of Witch Hunt?

Spoilers - Just incase.

Spoiler

My Warden went through the Portal with Morrigan. I figured in this story they loved each other... and, since Hawke seems to be a new Commander Shepard like character (possible continuing lead male in the series) of DA now, I figured it would make sense to have the "Hero of Ferelden" disappear without trace...

Maybe it will never come up in DA II or DA III... but I think it's a fitting end to my Wardens story. He had his family ripped away from him (murdered by the Howes) does all he does through that game, restores the Wardens in DA Awakening plus kills off two forms of Dark Spawn... I figure it's time that he "retires."

Now it's Hawkes story.

 

[Benstamania]

Playstation Magazine and Xbox Magazine both gave DA II a 9/10.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Part of me was disappointed with Dragon Age II. I hoped for an improvement on the original, but it ultimately feels like a step back.

Can't find scans, someone will probably post it in that thread.

 

[socool]

I bet you, despite the title, GI still gave the same an 8 or above

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I was home sick today so I finally decided to buy and play "Witch Hunt" and "The Golems of Amgarrak." Unfortunately, I never made an Origins character who was in love with Morrigan, so I think I missed a lot of the importance of "Witch Hunt." "The Golems of Amgarrak," on the other hand, just doesn't f***ing work for me. I reach the purple switch and can't hit it the second time to switch over to the purple Fade, and then there's no switch in there to go back to the blue Fade, so I wind up trapped in that little switch room. F***ing ******ed glitch.

That's more or less what I did.

I imagine we'll get something akin to what we got with the KOTOR games - the Warden will be frequently mentioned but never seen or heard from in the sequel. Nor will any actual answers be given as to whatever happened to them. Such is Bioware's way...

Launch Trailer

 

[El Bastardo]

I didn't glitch, Corp, but I have the PC version. There might be patch differences for addressing any glitches or bugs. That sucks, man.

I just finished Golems. It was kinda spooky. Got the achievement for beating the boss on Hard in one go. It was a little hairy for my teammates, but that's about it. The only enemies that can kill my super Rogue crit machine are those ****ing Watcher/Sentinel golem enemies that auto-hit you with Hurl and Slam. Holy balls, the room with six of them can eat me.

But the Harvester? Easy-peasy. She dodge-tanked him for half the fight while Brogan, Jerrik, and Snug were getting pounded by wussy skeletons, all the while putting constant critical shots right in his face.

Launch Trailer

The end of that with the giant melee? Awesome. The launch trailer should have been a giant melee the whole way through.

<3 Anders/Justice

 

[Benstamania]

So wait... is it Justice that's hitchin' a ride on Anders?

 

[El Bastardo]

Yes. Very good.

 

[Benstamania]

Nice. I tried to stay in the dark for the most part. I knew Anders had another spirit within him, just didn't know it was Justice.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Kinda effed up.

Ran into another problem: There's apparently a 10-character limit across Origins, Awakening, and all the DLC. What kind of bulls*** is that? BioWare gives you a metric ton of choices in both Origins and Awakening and then limits how many characters you can use to explore those choices? And imports of old characters into DLC and Awakenings count as entirely new characters for the limit? I've got my first character taking up three slots at this point. Utterly ridiculous system.

Anyway, half an hour 'til DA 2. Looking forward to it.

Yea reading that thread I agree with many of them in there. BioWare is still one of my fav devs but since ME2, they have kinda tried to compromise their games and make them less RPGS and more action oriented. Which just angers me. I just picked up my copy I'm sure I will enjoy it, but I tire of many games compromising their visions and as they try to call it (streamlining) but to me its another word now adays to make it more for the masses. I hope it is not as bad as that though.

 

[Benstamania]

I don't get it when people say ME2 wasn't an RPG. Sure, it was an action RPG... but it was still an RPG.

I'd take that kind of RPG over BS like FFXIII anyday.
