It was pretty retarded that Bethesda took away Morrowind's unlimited training in Oblivion, yet on the other hand also took away skill requirements to advance through ranks. Then again, most changes from Morrowind were pretty retarded, to say the least. Best thing to do in Oblivion is kill Umbra at level 1, nab her ebony armor & ub3r sword and head through the portal to Sheogorath's realm.

Risen's gnomes must be amongst the cutest enemies in a videogame ever. I really hate killing them... they're so hilarious when they're jumping up and down.

Venetica demo: What a cool game. Another homerun for Germany.

Lordi would've been a fine contender too.

It's a good thing DA doesn't have Halflings or Gnomes. Considering the bodily proportions DA uses, they'd have to walk on all fours.

Have you been attending business meetings at Quantic Dream?

It seems there is already some Dragon Age cosplay going on. Darkspawn FTW!

The music alone makes this game worth playing. And of course, it's great that it wasn't dumbed down for PC.

Risen's 'Nameless Hero' in his sack clothes looks an awful lot like Jason Statham in the critically condemned Dungeon Siege movie. Risen also contains John Rhys-Davies. I think this adds a few more awesome points to the game. Anyway, I picked up a war shield by defeating a guard and now melee combat has become much easier. Still takes ages to kill anything because of my low strength, but that's alright.

Are there Boots of Piercing against those annoying codpieces?

The third chapter was boring & repetitive, though. Best were the chapters starring the Mechs & Delphi (who actually only wore a bikini in the US version of the game... for some reason )

I'm looking for the secret compartment in the Don's hacienda and it's obvious where it is (the Order dudes must be as blind as a mole) but I think that little rat "Toni" was talking nonsense when he told me how to gain access to it. Apparently unleashing a sledgehammer in frustration on the closet doesn't do anything for some reason.

"Burlap sack"? All classes actually started out with pretty cool outfits in Drakensang. But yeah, Drakensang's bodies were pretty good, although the amazons & witches were perhaps a bit too... voluptuous.

I can accept that the nobles have a burly body considering the combat training they receive, but the mages should look slender & squishy... the same is true for the City Elves who are supposed to live in destitute circumstances. Even Morrigan who's supposed to be the hawt seductress has the Brienne of Tarth kind of body.

I guess my fireballs will have to do... I took some ranks in staff fighting but I only go melee in one-on-one fights.

The females could all use a 'Better Bodies' mod... the faces are alright. I like the second preset of the female human noble. Looks a lot like the noble mother from the origin video.

I find that just like in Fallout 3, it's impossible not to make a male that doesn't look like a complete doofus.

I really suck at the melee combat when I have to fight creatures whose attacks are unblockable for some reason (wolves, porcupines). Just like in Gothic 3, fighting humans is cake compared to most wilderness creatures. Does it become better with more ranks in sword-fighting? If I'll join the bandits on a replay, I'll probably go for mainly an archer type.

It's rather funny when after an hour of twiddling with the sliders the character's face ends up looking exactly like the preset. I wish there was a 'randomize' button somewhere.

I don't get why we can't roll-back attributes? Rogues start out with 12 in magic and this value is fixed, why exactly?
