Yeah If there is an option to turn that crap off would be tremendous. As well as properly scaling the UI on the PC port. I hate console GIGANTO TEXT. I'll probably win the Lotto before any of those 2 happen.

Sorry. It wasn't THAT big of a spoiler... and you should do it to see what happens! Thank you. I bought AP when it came out on Steam, I just haven't had time to play it yet. :/ And the new damn ME2 DLC coming out isn't helping any...

Thats why we have the spoiler tags. Thanks.

I might actually pick this up now.... hmmmmmm....

And this is where Bioware succeed. it's the only Bioware game I am interested in anymore. Lastly, lets be real here. The standard of prose quality, plotting, and characterization in classic science fiction isn't particularly high. Sci-fi is niche-popular because the ideas that the stories contain have a peculiar appeal to a particular type of reader. ME's writing doesn't hit those notes all that often (and when they do, it's usually in a throw-away description of a random scannable planet), but in terms of writing believable characters, I'd put ME ahead of a good number of classic sci-fi authors. Had Bioware chose to make another SERIOUS BUSINESS Action RPG, it would have failed miserable. It however works just fine in a B-Grade Sci-Fi space soap opera, which is always what Bioware said it is. Also the pruning of pretty much any recognizable RPG elements also worked in it's favor. It actually made it a far better Game, and much more enjoyable. This however does not translate well into a Serious Fantasy Action RPG, as they are now discovering.

Are Obsidian doing these new DLC's?

And this is where Bioware succeed. it's the only Bioware game I am interested in anymore.

Yeah, I'm curious too how Bioware will handle this as well. Oh well, back to re-freshing the EA page awaiting the Arrival DLC. So. Want. Now.

Ok thank you. I must have missed that.

While not the exact build you are requesting, my Bard build of Awesome is specifically tailored for NWN2 OC and MotB. Also that site has a TON of builds, might find something there if my build does not appeal to you. Or use the builder there.

My biggest concern is I am praying that it is not required that you have a console-pad in order to play it on your PC. Much like the Publishers last PC game, Last Remnant. I'd hate this to be my first forced to play on a console game from Obsidian, due to lack of proper PC support. Give me a proper PC port, and I am however fine if they do have a console-pad option, for those PC players that like that kind of thing. Just my .02

I am SO damn excited for this DLC! I enjoyed Shadow Broker and the Overlord ones as well. Also LOVED Kasumi. <3 <3 <3 I wish this damn thing would just come out already.

Meh, I had fun running through the game with a friend or three. Indeed, as did I. Me an my party of 4 Bards kicked some major butt in it. Good times.

The demo is really pretty stupid in that it doesn't really show you the meat of how the game plays. It would have been much better if they just dropped you in the city and let you do a couple of quests, but then again, it's a pretty difficult game to make a demo for in the first place. This. It is one of the best Gothic games, it literally IS Gothic II 2.0. Combat is not bad, multiple solutions to quests, factions, BIG world to explore. I had never had so much damn fun in a LONG time until this came out. The bad: herpa derpa Chapters III (bearable), then the horrible Chapter IV Still worth every damn penny I payed for it (on a steam sale).

Thanks Starwars.

Read exactly what vince is praising about it. This is the common mistake everyone makes about him. He is NOT saying OMG 10000000/10!!! GOTY!!! And that said, having followed the LP so far, kind of glad I passed on this.... PLEASE do no mess up my beloved Mass Effect 3. Please god.

There is already a Codex LP of Dragon Age II if you wish to make up your own mind on how bad on the terrible meter it is.

This has been my feeling as well. The Dragon Age Team, somewhat feels like a schizophrenic group of people that have this game, but don't know what they are doing with it and why. The Mass Effect team at Bioware however seem to be a group of people that love the game and the setting and continue to develop it further and make it even better.

There is a stream of the PC version here for the morbidly curious: http://www.justin.tv/cizzzats# He did find a huge xp bug, and he went up a ton of levels. Also it has level scaling.

Those are fake: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/10...390664&lf=8 Damn, those really looked good too.

AFAIK EA puts an embargo on all their titles, major or not. I have no doubt DAII will have, at the very least, solid reviews. Most previews/impressions of the demo, for example, were rather gushing in tone. Not all actually: The Decline of the Classic RPG
