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?

Who needs Orcs when there are hordes of deadly porcupines & swarms of killer moths? Eh?

In addition to Canada, Australia, and Poland (first as a sovereign state, then as a exiled government). You should probably also include South Africa and New Zealand, but they wouldn't have seen any troop deployments until after the Winter War so I won't be as picky about them. Yugoslavia?

I'm 9th in queue on the fileplanet site. I couldn't connect to the BioWare server for some reason. The anticipation is killing me.

Alternate question: why do dragons fly around in random directions and attack the non-hostile environment (in this case snow and ruins) instead of their enemies? Might as well ask why the bad guys are just standing around waiting to be pushed off a cliff or until an arrow hits them in the forehead, or attacking the power-armoured generic Hero Dude one-by-one in Pterry fashion.

I never went to the bandits in the swamp myself. I figured I would have had to do a lot of fighter related quests there and hence dump a lot of skill points in sword fighting & strength while I was trying to become a mage... I considered that with the lesser scope of this game compared to Gothic 3 one would not be able to acquire enough skill points to be able to become proficient in everything. It was an interesting choice right in the beginning, and offers replay value. I don't think 'jack-of-all-trades' would work very well with the unforgiving combat.
