Dragon Age 2 - Here be spoilers.

[Mosesandstick]

It really reminds of a Polish fantasy author, Sapkowski.

ffffffffffffffuuuuuu. i've just wasted five minutes skipping through this thing in hope there's some actual punchline at some point.

[Reg]

Yea I got sucked into watching that stupid thing a while back. I think it's a Witcher trailer.

[tmp]

Yah it's the Witcher 2 cutscenes. I was just like, "well no one would make a video with 8+ minutes of cinematics when just a screenshot would suffice, right? right?" and kept looking for something that wasn't there

[rk47]

  HAHAHAHA that's what I call trolling.

[tgr]

ffffff now I want to go home and play more witcher 2. I hate you.

[Paelos]

Well I finally finished the first one. So, I guess I can buy the second one now when it goes on sale during the holiday Steamstravaganza.

[Ragnoros]

FYI. EA pulled (all?) most of their games from Steam when they launched Origin. Including Dragon Age 1 & 2. So you will have to look elsewhere.

[caladein]

I thought it was that EA ran up against the Steam terms with regards to selling DLC through other sources, unless the story's changed since a few days after it happened.

ME1/2 and DA1 are still available on Steam as all their DLC came out before the new (?) rules kicked in.  No luck on DA2 though, and almost certainly no ME3.

[Ingmar]

Yeah the story as I understand it is Steam pulled DA2 because EA wouldn't agree to make future DLC for it available through Steam.

[Sjofn]

Yeah DA:O and Awakenings are both still on Steam last I looked, and I bought ME 1&2 on sale for my sister like two weeks ago. 


FAKE EDIT: INGMAR STOP POSTING SO I CAN POST

[Paelos]

Well I'm not downloading it through Origin. EA can just go without this Christmas.

Stocking full of coal for those douchebags.

Really?

That was well done, but like... a completely different world and style. And I don't mean just the engine.. even the little things. Like the city names and some of the lingo.

Now go read the comments.

I wish I wasn't horribly broken and could enjoy games like ME. I'm passing the time waiting for the next DA announcement (4/6 iirc) by  replaying DA:O and Awakenings recently. Listening to some of the banter between Anders and Justice and knowing what's to come made me a bit sad.

I really don't remember Awakenings being such a cakewalk. Previously I had only played it once with my dw rogue and I could have sworn there were some tough fights I had to reload for. This time around I played as 1h/shield and only the Mother took my health down below 80ish%

[Sjofn]

The Anders/Justice (with occassional Nathaniel) banters are totally sad, yeah. 

I can't remember if there were fights I had to reload my first time through Awakenings, but I definitely just facerolled to victory on my archer. Which I didn't mind exactly, but it was sort of weird.

[tmp]

If i remember right, a lot of creatures in Awakening had their level cap set at 18 or so while imported player character could easily start few levels higher than that and wind up at 30+  So add to that rather over the top damage output of newly added abilities and yeah, no surprise there it could wind up faceroll easy.

[Ingmar]

I had to try the Mother fight several times because I somehow managed to only take 3 people there with no healer. Something about the pick your team stuff didn't click with me that it was the final chance I was going to get to change my lineup or whatever.

[Raguel]

I wonder if I could solo the Mother with my warden. I have tons of sta and heal pots, but my warden rarely has to use either.  


eta: well I'm sure one could solo the entire game because I've read posts from people who claimed to have done it, but I've always assumed that the game adjusts the difficulty level to account for that. So what I should do is bring the whole gang but park them out of the way so I can hog all the fun.

Healers are for pussies anyway. 

[Raguel]

I hate to admit it but I've never heard the phrase "faceroll" before so I just googled it. lol

[Venkman]

Resurrection!

And only because it's way early to be talking about Fall 2013. So I'll just drop this here:

Way early details on DA3. This is mostly hacked together from Cinematic designer Jon Perry's twitter feed.


Choice quote: "one level in Dragon Age 3 is as big as all of the levels in Dragon Age 2."

Not that hard to achieve 

[eldaec]

Technically that means only the largest level in DA3 is as big as the largest level in DA2.

:pedant:

[Ingmar]

We have a DA3 thread.
