That dragon looks a hell of a lot better than the ones from Gothic 3. I'll be giving the demo a try.

Drakensang 2 review

If not for the "Square Enix", I'd think that was a Peter Molyneux presentation.

Do the horns on the helmet go upward when he's happy to see someone (or something)?

Does one need to have the previous patches installed to install 1.5?

Try killing Fawkes at level 30. He even survives a mininuke to the head.

I'd like some impressions myself. I'm still on the fence about getting it or not... I'm rather sick of DA's combat system & setting, hence not really looking forward to fighting Epic Gnolls Genlocks. Also, judging from the trailers characters didn't seem very interesting. Not to mention, there are no romances. EDIT: well, if patch 1.03 is required, I guess that settles it.

I'm doing a re-run with a Sentinel. I've been giving the Arc Projector a work-out and the weapon feels a bit overpowered. Not only does it clear entire rooms of mooks, even YMIR Mechs get vaporized very quickly. Maybe the next DLC will be the BFG 9000?

Just like Ahmadinejad's remark about "wiping Israel off the map", this reeks of another case of the Western media seeking to demonify a Middle-Eastern leader by quoting out of context.

It would be hilarious if in their next TES game, Bethesda would give M'aiq a few lines about people incessantly whining about their writing.

Bethesda the publisher definitely needs a break after the Rogue Warrior train wreck.

I knew I should've stayed away from the Thane 'romance'.

Does Samara always threaten to take out Shepard when Shepard has more renegade points than paragon? It would be funny if during the inevitable victory celebration at the end of ME3, renegade Shepard gets a shotgun blast in the face. THE END.

^It all looks excellent, but how big is the gameworld? And is the setting well-developed? I prefer settings with a rich & detailed lore, like Elder Scrolls... I barely got through Gothic 3.

Realms of Arkania = turn-based combat. Wouldn't that be an automatic win? Not to mention, one actually loses the main quest if one takes too much time on the dark, heroic quest against the Big Bad Evil. Imagine if Dragon Age had something like that today. Blade of Destiny & Star Trail used to be abandonware, but it seems GoG picked up the copyright. What is nice about the recently released Drakensang: River of Time is the many references to Realms of Arkania.

I wish Legion could be upgraded to a Geth Prime after his loyalty mission. Just for the coolness factor. Maybe then he would not be ignored by everyone on the Citadel.

I was planning to specialize in Martial arts, stealth & other non-combat skills like Sabotage. But after seeing that video in Saudi Arabia... seems it's all about the pew-pew anyway.

I still remember the first time I ran into a Fire Ant... *plinks away tear*

It's a random encounter. There are many of those. For the same, you might've run into a Deathclaw... happened to me the first time I played the game and just got out of the Vault.

Furries! Scalies! Crab overload! Viconia?

But I already saved the galaxy! Twice, even.

I would've thought "Dark" and "Heroic" were mutually exclusive. No matter how big a jerk one chooses to be during the game, in the end one slays the Big Bad Dragon anyway. In the Witcher, in the end things either stayed the same or worsened depending on the faction one had chosen... but Geralt fulfilled his own personal quest, which was the only thing that really mattered for him.

The only time scanning is fun, is with Uranus.

It's because Berlusconi's Charisma is at 18.
