Dragon Age 2

[Vyk]

Ranger was just the first specialization I unlocked. And since I didn't read up I had no idea about assassins. So aside from Leliana's bardness, it was the only option available. So I became a dual-wielding ranger who later added assassination (took forever to finally meet Zevrand..), and she was an archer bard ranger. An obvious time where reading up would have helped me out I guess haha. But yeah, I wouldn't presume my team would be anywhere near a top-tier idea. I just wanted to have Leliana and the idea seemed balanced enough. I just wasn't ready for that MMO style of supplementing everyone with stuff from everyone else and trying to work two or three skills together to make an insane killing machine. I'll be going into Dragon Age 2 a bit more prepared...

I suppose if I ever felt motivated to play the game a second time I'd have a lot less to complain about since it won't all be so jarring and surprising

And I never found the blood mage specialization, so that idea would have never occurred to me haha

Okay got the Sir Issac's Armour (from Dead Space 2) and got my Hayder's Razor (courtesy of DA2 demo). It was such a pain in the ass, had to play the demo 3 times, cause i got disconnected from the EA server, right near the end of the demo (there's no save in the demo either). Check Bioware forums and apparently alot of people are having that problem on 360/PS3, but PC seems to be good.

Now I hear about this Dragon Age Legends which unlock 3 more items, but it's in closed beta right now. Anyone have a spare code or something? Signed up for the beta thru facebook, but have yet to receive my entry to the beta.

[Freya]

Yeah I have a beta key if you want. I'll pm it to you.

Warrior controls were way more fun in this game than in the first. Whirlwind is so fun!

And looooooving the battle mage stuff with the staff tricks.

And graphics are A++ as always.

[Freya]

I was going to go rogue all the way but I played through as a mage and I really liked it. So really it's if I want carver or bethany. (if you play a mage you get your brother if you play a rogue or warrior you get your sister so you have an equal party at least at first)

[Vyk]

Yeah, when I switched to playing as Bethany she was doing all kinds of spinny tricks with her staff, looked pretty bad-ass. Makes me tempted to create a mage. Didn't realize that scene was scripted to even out the team. But it makes sense

Demo crashed for me after the character 'customization' thing. Guess who certainly won't be getting the game now. I wasn't too impressed with the combat anyway and the story and setting seemed kinda generic as well. Graphics are also a letdown compared to Mass Effect, which has way better looking faces.

[Freya]

That's everything you can get RIGHT NOW. Well kinda. Up to now. That's mine. Of course. They are having another promotional thing through their facebook for another tomb. Also they are doing a swag one too with razer stuff...



FREEEEEEEEEEEE STUFFFFFFFFFFFF. I also have the signature edition preordered so I get the DLC exiled prince. I like his accent. If you didn't preorder it in time the DLC for him is released the day when the game comes out. So you can get him right away. They haven't said he's a LI or anything yet. I know it's like 560 mircosoft points, dunno about PS3 or PC though.

EDIT: I found out.

Price: PSN - $6.99 | PC/MAC - 560 BioWare Points | Xbox - 560 Points

[nirojan]

Yay just got my DA2 Bioware Signature edition. Can't wait to start playing it!

@Freya: I have everything on your promotions list except "hindsight". Any clue as to how I get it?

EDIT: okay nvm! Here's where to find bonus item info for anyone interested:

OMG this game is amazing. I'm 15 hrs in and still only barely on ACT 2. OMG amazing.

[Aerith's Knight]

Man, I just got bombsmurfed by a ginormous spider in the beginning of the deep roads. Does anyone know a way so I don't lose 3 injury kits in the first 5 min of that act?

[Freya]

Don't suck

[Laddy]

It's awsome!

*continues playing*

ISABELLA SEX.

...is awesome. But then 3 min later she betrays me in the fade. What a bitch.
