Well, I finished the game with a level 20 human noble warrior. Now to replay with my Elven mage.

1. The longest journey 2. The longest journey 3. The longest journey 4. The longest journey 5. The longest journey 6. The longest journey 7. The longest journey 8. The longest journey 9. The longest journey 10. The longest journey That's all, folks.

Did they model the lady after Sarah Palin?

Shapeshifting in a golem?

I'm not hatin' on Enya. Just on Zur for ripping her off.

CTRL+W was very useful in the early Internet era before there were pop-up blockers.

"Enchantment? Enchantment!" Never gets old for me. But talking to any Tranquil makes me want to pull my hair out.

Bye, bye, Ser Cauthrein: Most. Satisfying. Kill. Ever. She two-shotted poor Oghren, lulz.

Okay, that was the last whine about the amount of combat in DA from me. I promise. I take it you're going for the inevitable Romance Mods?

I'll try to finish it this night... I've just gathered all allies. No idea how much game there is still left. I'm getting a bit burnt out, bashing shields into monstrous faces & shattering mooks to smithereens for nearly 60 hours... I already have a Dalish Elf & Elven mage ready for future replays.

^Now that I think of it, a warrior with Holy Strike (Templar) can own non-boss mages like there's no tomorrow. Apparently I unlocked a 'Tactician' achievement for having my PC kill 250 enemies without taking any damage. ... That's a whole load of shattered remains, indeed.

Leliana owns once she has Tier 4 archery talents. Scattershot, Arrow of Slaying = bye bye, Orcs. I don't think warriors can easily solo dungeons. Emissaries can easily own warriors... or get picked up by an Ogre Alpha and it's reloading time. Arcane Warriors, though, can solo the entire game.

The person that pointed out the balance issue powered his mage up to 150 spellpower. ... Kinda logical, with such extreme Elminster builds, to be able to one shot even Gaxkang.

Meh. I thought it was made by Enya.

Dog Armour DLC is coming closer & closer...

Kirill Pokrovsky >> Inon Zur DA's soundtrack is completely unremarkable.

Bad news for Belgium. Now that **** Leterme will be back as prime minister.

Letting Wynne cast Heroic Aura renders archers completely harmless. Then an Inferno and it's bye bye, archers. Why bother being subtle when the game tries to majorly screw you over in practically every random encounter, anyway. Since archers stay put, the Force Explosion combo works well too.

Regarding C:

They should've called it Operation: Ostagar.

Well, surely Mana Clash is a great spell against mages... problem is the three spells before that suck.

I'm still trying to get over the idea of being Overwhelmed by a frigging spider. What are they trying to do, weave a cocoon? This game surely isn't for people with arachnophobia.

If a [Persuade] check on a party member fails during pivotal story choices, do they attack or leave? Or does their approval simply drop? It's happened a few times with Miss High & Mighty but I managed to pass it apparently... it would be inconvenient if she would leave, to say the least.

I finished Orzammar yesterday... hardest part about the whole venture was resisting the urge to vomit during a certain boss fight... on a next playthrough I'll probably go to Orzammar much earlier. I hate Dwarves, but Oghren is a pretty awesome character after all (and a way better fighter than Sten). He mouthed off Miss High & Mighty on a couple of occasions too, which was great.

There should've been a Giant Nug easter egg in the game.
