That's not how they do things in the south.

Kinect?

No matter how BioWare tries to sell it, DA2 is a party based action RPG, as much as DS2 was. That's the big irony of it all.

You forgot Rise of the Triad... best shooter of the 90s by a mile.

DA2 didn't have crap controls and camera, for one.

They didn't evolve DS2.

Well, there's still crossbows & regular bows. Try hitting a mudcrab point-blank with 5 in Marksman. Thing is though, after proper character creating and proper training, it only takes a few levels and you'll never miss in combat again. Not to mention, there's no active blocking & special combo moves in the game, so one might as well keep everything as it is. E.g. a Redguard with Long blade as primary skill starts with 50. With strength & agility as primary attributes, you'll hardly ever miss in the beginning of the game. With Adrenaline Rush, you can even take on stuff way above your level.

Are you sure you're not interrupting your combo? Beating the first three guys in the game with one continuous combo sequence gets you over 20 easily.

Since OWB is supposed to take place in a high-tech environments where cutting-edge technology was researched, hopefully we'll see some environments from Mothership: Zeta re-used that actually looked high-tech. I'm really sick of seeing those generic "subway maintenance tunnels" from FO3 re-used over and over again.

Have fun searching for a blue and yellow key for 2 hours.

Is Xeria ever mentioned in the game?

Brussels needs to be nuked from orbit.

Besides, if you don't bring a bard along, who is going to record the tale of your heroic deeds?!? There's always an insane gnome around for that.

In other news, Fallout 3 is the first decent Fallout game.

Daenerys has asbestos hair, apparently.

In DS2, though, it's never made explicit that the main hero is Azunai reborn. It's suggested by two antagonists only, who even might've been wrong or were trying to mislead the main hero. It's also never made clear whether Azunai really became a god, only that he was worshipped as a god along with other powerful heroes of the past.

In that case: congradulations to BioWare for their first succesful Slam Dunk!. Or was that Mass Effect 2.

The hero of DS2 was Azunai reborn, regardless whether (s)he was a Dryad, half-giant, Elf or human. Why would Azunai return as a child?

Ironically, with Dragon Age 2 BioWare made a game closer to Dungeon Siege than Dungeon Siege 3. The party based action combat and skill trees are there all already, they should just add multiplayer and change "Kirkwall" to "Stonebridge", "Templars" to "Azunites", "Thedas" to "Ehb". Oh, and cut 90% of party banter, voice-over that's even worse than Dungeon Siege 2, and all romance BS.

Unless Fisto was given a running animation, I'd never want him as a companion.

The new Alice is a loong game, it seems. I'm in Chapter 3 and it's taking forever to get through it.

If Gamespot gave Hunted: Demon's Forge a 4.5 on PC, Dungeon Siege 3 should be below that.

So this is what it has come to.
