there's an entire thread around here somewheres. Assassins Creed 2 thread

I suspect the lack of familiarity with the setting may have something to do with it? It took me a while to "get into" the setting too.

Ferelden = Rohan with dogs? Tevinter Imperium falling to blood magic reminded me of the Roman Empire & the Mithras cult decadence. I imagined Ferelden the old celtic communities of western Europe. Some seems inspired by old germanic tribes like the Franks (Orlais), Lombards (Antuvia) and I wouldn't be surprised if I some day found Goth and Vandal influences I imagined the Qunari more like Huns than Almohads though, seeing that they feature here and there as mercenaries.

I spent a lot of my time on the jury rigging screen. Just as well as I never made friends with the combat and had my butt handed to me without mercy.

Moved to the place where gamers hang out... I had Bloodnet way back in time on my Commodore Amiga. Had a rather unique atmosphere.

Good question. Maybe observering the dragon crossing the road was what caused to do it in the first place (cf. "Schroedingers Dragon")? So, I found out what is causing Sten's anger management problems. Not sure if I am supposed to be hunting around for the starting location of the solution yet or if it will come to me in time. In the meantime, time to decide whether to go to Redclif, Denerim or the elf infested forest...

More *snip snip* What Tigranes said. Is that why it is called a "pair" of scissors I wonder?...

A lot of the names and titles sounds like they were inspired by ancient celts.

Yay, found a second backpack!

I only ever found one for sale in Ostagar. But then, I haven't really visited that many places yet. Finished The Circle and Orzammar. Yet to visit other places. Maybe more backpacks will show up...

I wonder how many recognise the irony in comparing Wehrmacht to Waffen SS, considering the latter was created exactly because the little guy with the beard never trusted the Wehrmacht. Waffen SS' main purpose (originally) was to protect him against "internal threats" (both SA and the Wehrmacht). Yet half a century later, few people distinguishes between them.

Heroes seems to be those who inspire others to do stupid things. What would you call those who inspire others to do good deeds?

Both backpacks? I only have one. I considered starting a public transport service in the Deep Roads since I commute back and forth all the time

Story wise clarify for me if you would... the big tenticle boobie boss.. from the whispers of the former capt insane dwarf you meet I though the elder dwarf I was looking for turned into that monster. That was what I thought all the hints were. Then after the monster I actually meet the elder dwarf. So... perhaps epic fail for me but I dont get the connection of the elder dwarf I was on the hunt for and boob boss...? Spoiler (should really be in the discussion thread)

I am weak I had to find some tactics hints to beat that multi boobied, tentacled monstrosity. Ranged combat for the win Maybe I should have given Wynne some offensive aoe spells...

Run Calax! Run...

Maybe the board thinks you didn't read it properly

I suppose this is the point where I confess ignorance and have to do a google search on "Twilight" and "New Moon"... never heard of them before

Would your mages (effective) armour rating by any chance be higher than that of your fighters? Just wondering since the tips on the loading screens hints at high armour values being a magnet for enemies.

Maybe you've hit a different outline format under the options menu (upper right corner of a thread). Is "standard" selected?

I really like most of the game so far, but one thing is infuriating and a sour grape in an otherwise sweet experience. The *&^%$# cut scenes that takes control of my characters in just about every encounter and make them all walk as easy targets into obvious traps and ambushes. It is frustrating. Besides that little vent, I like it very much. It is no BG2, but it is fine game in its own right. Yeah, thats what the cynic said.

I just skipped out on a combat. I don't know if I lost out on anything essential, but how the heck does a protagonist fighter survive alone in a small enclosed space with 3 stone golems?!? I tried a number of different approaches, including special abilities only available in that area, but ended up a bloody paste on the walls every time

is there a story worth telling there? Note to self. Don't open bottles without labels...

Something seems fishy...
