edonil Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I will admit, the interactions with the NPCs was much better in DA:2. I just didn't like a bunch of them, and they all fit into slots that are kinda important for a well rounded party (Here's looking at you, Fenris 'Cloud Strife' Tank and Anders 'Whining Boy' Healer). But yeah, the main plot of that game is kinda boring. I did like Act 2, but then I like the Quanari, and it had a lot to do with them. Act 3 was the worst example of video game railroading I've ever seen, and it just made me so annoyed and frustrated, because whatever your choices, it didn't feel like you had any control over the outcome, in spite of you being constantly referred to as the focal point of what happened.

Lord Shaper Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 so while you have DA2 I'm getting lost in Skyrim atm... At least I'm on the path to become a werewolf heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regnak Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Dragon age 2 was a big let down for me. Nowhere near as good as the first. I made a mistake and bought star wars the old republic on Thursday! Draining my life away now lmfao I hope you finished Skyrim first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Skyrim is loads of fun. I've heard a lot of complaints about the combat, and I don't really understand them myself...no, it isn't the best combat system in the world, but honestly, it's a helluva lot more realistic than most games. Ever tried using a sword in real life? Skyrim isn't that far off, not in terms of European swordplay. I remember taking some Italian tradition longsword techniques, and being so confused because there wasn't any 'attack' techniques, it's all transitioning from different guards, your cuts are the in between motions.

TBH I'm loving getting lost in the side quests, I know skyrim is better for that, but I ploy oblivion and got too lost, and the I really the party I have in DA2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Two mini adventures are out for DA:2. Hawke's Legacy and Mark of the Assassin. MotA was a lot of fun, although I was less than happy that Talis didn't stick around...and Legacy, I haven't finished. And playing a Mage is really versatile in this one. Since the NPCs are so restricted in their talents and abilities (I did like this, I must admit, made them really seem unique) you're stuck either with playing the Healer yourself, bringing Anders (shudder) or trying it without a Healer (I'm giving this a go in my current playthrough).

edonil Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'm running the tank in my 'no-healer' playthrough, and I've got Merrill, Fenris and Varric for the party (want to switch Varric for Isabella when I get her, still early on in the game). It works mainly because the majority of the party is keyed for high damage output (Merrill doubles as a simple party buffer with Arcane Shield spreading to everyone and Elemental Weapons) so I'm not getting into these long grinding fights as much as I'm tearing holes in the enemy groups rapidly. And even as a tank, I'm going non standard, I have yet to take Shield Defense, but I'm using one to get the higher armor. So, I've got a decent attack speed, and the Templar specialization means that I've gotten in a fairly useful AoE attack too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratty Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well slept all the day, mostly. Yesterday took a lot out of me, but I think it was worth. Girlfriend hassling me to build a mountain. What am I? a god, and anyway I get sundays off. it's in the operating manual, "On the seventh day the Rat rested, and all was good."

It's not a Spork. as that is a Spoon and Fork combined. I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
