The Merrill quest bug is weird. I didn't suffer it but supposedly she reacts to something major before it even happens. Heh. I did get the one non active quest bug. There's the no auto attack one which i think is a major feature. None of the bugs, imo, are game breaking. Then again, as per usual, i tend to miss the most annoying bugs. L0LZ I just wish BIo could fix the bug of 'whiny internet losers crying about every little thing'. That fix would be a major welcome. P.S. There is a HUGE difference between legit criticism and whining.

"I think its sad how well the Conservatives are polling considering how much they've been screwing up, how much is coming to light in terms of their association with criminals in key areas of the party, as well as their constant use of attack ads that most canadians claim to hate." You said it yourself, Liberals are full of criminals too. They also have a habit of using attack ads. On top of that, as much of a prick Harper can be that stupid Ignatiff or whatever guy is 10x worse. On top ofm this, while things aren't perfect, the Conservatives have done a decent job as a minority gov't. I used to be Liberal only voter but they lost that vote with their scumminess. It'll be decades before I even think of voting Liberal again. NDP has potential though. Don't forget, btw, this election is occuring ebcause the Liberals pushed for it. The NDP didn't really want it. And, the Liberals have been pushing for an election ever since the Conservatives won the last time. P.S. As for the contempt charges, while there is likely some truth to them, it is so mixed up in politics, it's hard to take seriously. The only Kanadians being stupid are the ones buying the garbage spouted by the evil Liberal party.

MS is known for being hardcore tough on patches/update on the 360. That's likely why it takes so long.

"Is Wynne any better realized than Jaheira? I really don't think so. " Yes, yes she is. Andm i say that even though I prefer Jaheira. "BG2 assumed I had previously left Imoen, Minsc, Dynaheir, Khalid & Jaheira alive. That alone makes it far worse than BG1." r u serious?

"Also, BG was better accepted for it's time than DA 2 has been, that is for damn sure." True, but I never argued otherwise. "Look how well BG 2 improved on BG 1. Almost everything about it was better. Look at how DA 2 has improved on DA 1. For every positive there is a negative, and sometimes a big fat stinking negative." I do agree with this 100%. BG2 is vastly superior to BG in every single way. there is NOT one thing BG1 does better than BG2. Not a one.

"Game devs really need to quit the stupid slider based character generators. The only thing they do well is alienate people." Which people? the Boo Think Alike People? Because BIO games are more successful than ever. Heck, some are trying to point DA2 as a failure 9depsite no legit facts to back it up) despite it obviously selling a lot. BIO's most successful games are their more recent ones. BG series is just a nostalgic overrated wannabe that is served better as memory of simpler times because they, by and alrge, don't stand up to the modern BIO RPG. Espicially true for BG. BG2 has a stronger case though in some ways, but BG certainly doesn't. BG npcs are the defintion of failure. One dies you just repalce them because they're almost nothing (except in a handful of instances) seperating them except stats/class/race. Definitely not personality, background, role-playing, C&C, or writing. One example is that the crybaby elf mage with the sweet sword in BG1. That was a great set up for a character that is absolutely wasted in the way Bg handles npcs. He would thrive in a newer BIO offering. Now he's just a couple of funny quips.

"The problem is with weak uninteresting characters and endless repetition of the same personalities and similar dialog. Bioware games are full of uncinematic wankers like Carth Onasi and Jacob with mild, boring personalities." I don't like Carth but like Jacob. Neither one of them are 'boring'. And, there are plenty of crappy/boring characters in BG series. *cough* Minsc *cough* The newe characetrs are more interesting, deeper, more likely to grow, have more of a mind of their own (Minsc only had one such instance in BG1 where he really showed a mind of his own), and come with a lot more C&C. Morrigan and Isabella are much deepper, more complex, more interesting characters than the 3 romances in BG2 9though I really like Jaheria too). " I can't make a choice without a companion butting in and telling me what to do and boiling everything down to 2 clear moral choices." What you meant to say is you don't want npcs, you want robots who do whatever the P wants them to. I loved the fact that lelina would stand up to you if youd efiled the ashes, I love the fact that Morrigan has a lot to use the PC against her mother, I love the fact that isabella will flat out leave the PC in the lurch if she doesn't trust him, I love the fact that Anders makes his hatred for mages known and that he'll stand against you at the end even if he respects you because the decision you make is wrong in his view, etc., etc.

The writing quality was the same.

Mine neither 'cause if we had any we wouldn't waste our time on the intrnetz. P.S. Read Jaesun's posts for your answer.

"The Saudi regime is at least as bad, if not much worse yet I don't see cries for democracy or intervention. " What does that silliness have to do with what i quoted? Anyways, I'll bite at your hilarious smokescreen: Oh, Mr. judge, I may have murderd only one perosn but Joe Blow down the street murdered two.. so whya pickin' on me?

Does this really need to be explained in full detail or can't you figure it using common sense?

Religion will not become extinct in Kanada for a long time if ever. Do these punks even do proper reearch? LMAO That alone makes the article AUTO FAIL.

"terrible, Gadafi regime" I like how put this in brackets like there's some actual doubt.

"If I call a man's wife ugly, even if she is, knowing it will make him angry, then there is some blame at my door. " This doesn't make sense on so many levels largely covered by Grom's post. These savages didn't even attack the perpetrator. They murdered random people. I guess everytime someone is mean to me Obsidian Forums, I should go kill some random person in real life... and myd efence will be because you guys were mean to me. Does that make sense? Not at all. And, no, someone calling your wife ugly doesn't give you the excuse to kill people or even get physical. That's silly talk. There is no excuse whatsoever for what they did and the pastor (as much a s asilly goose he is)is not responsible at all for their actions.

" Whatever happened to BW actually writing stuff, cool characters like hk-47. " HK is funny but he's absolutely one note. Not a good example, sorry.

"Obviously Bio heard Volo

Action RPG.

If you own the book you have the right to do what you wish with it. The fact thats cumbags use that as ane xcuse to murder innocents is what's really sick. The barbarains (that's people who do this, not all muslims btw) should get into the 21st century and get over themselves.

Murder over burning books. I wonder if I burn both a koran and a bible, made sure it was publicized which group would attack me first...

"I HATE it when people say, Bio included, that Dragon Age was a descendant of Baldur's Gate. If anything it was a descendant of NwN. That isn't intended as a slam, it looks and plays like NwN with D&D rules replaced by MMO cool-down powers. Comparing DA to BG shames BG, and it was just thrown around by Bio to get old RPG fans excited." You made a fundamentla error here when styating this because NWN plays like BG so you actually shame yourself by being wrong. Sorry. DA is a superior version of BG.

I also believe you miss out on the Finding nathaniel quest if you do the 'find 3 dwarf explorers in deep roads' quest in ch2. I spared both Architect and Nathaniel in Awakenings and didn't get the quest because of that supposedly.

"That's a negative?" For the people who hate DA2 and ME2 it is.

"^Actually I don't remember KotOR being claimed as being the death knell of Bioware." Musta missed all the 'BIO betrays their PC 'fans' by making a console game instead of a PC game 9after porting it). Remember that KOTOR was BIO's first game since SS/mdk2 (which most forget) that had a console version and all the talk was 'WAA bio betrayed their 'real' fanbase' etc., etc. Not to mentioned the complaints about the super easy combat, about how the C7C sucked, and a whole bunch of stuff. KOTOR was just another line of games that would 'doom' BIO.

BOO in The Witcher Thread; BIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! P.S. Graphics looks good.

I don't care about profesional reviewers. I don't care if they rate a game highly or lowly no matter. Go through the list of games reveiwed and tons of thema re jsut plain wrong - espicially how theyg et to said score. That said, the most 'fair' review I've read of DA2 is the Codex one. i don't agree with it but it's fair. The whining on the forums about DA2 is a joke since there was the same whining after DA1. And, ME2, ME1, J2, KOTOR, NWN, and even TOB. WAAWAA ! BIO betrayed their 'fans' (no such thing as fans, it's a myth), and all the otyher gobbleygook. Go to the DA1 forums and read up about all the whining about the Derp Roads, end of the game, the attacks on the whole 'Alistair twist', the crying about the gay/bisexual romances 9or romances in general), the writing, the so called lack of C&C, the crappy combat, the horrible character system, how it betrayed the BG2 fans, and all the other stupid stuff. or how DA2 is the death of BIO - just as TOB, NWN, KOTOR, JE, ME, DA, and ME2 were. So hilarious! Really hard to take such proclaimations seriously when it's been going on for over 10 years.
