I'm also interested in DA3. I think they've already said no to that (It's not going to be Hawke or the Warden either). DA2's lack of "epicness" was one of the major complaints, so it's probably going to be the whole of existance in danger again.

It seems to be this forum is full of grumpy old men. I mean, I agree with most of the problems people here have with BIO's games, but I still like them enough to enjoy playing them. What's wrong with you people?

Hi We talked about this on a separate thread already, but I decided to make a new one so those interested wouldn't miss the info. The news is: the executive producer for the DA franchise posted on the BIO forums, talking about the future of the franchise. Most importantly, the following things are confirmed: a) No more DLCs or expansions for DA2. Possibly patches. b) They are working on a new DA game. If you have an account there, definitely check the developer posts: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/260/index/10245444&lf=8

It's also a pretty straight confirmation of DA3.

Well, they need to reboot the universe for the next game, so they can do a completely unrelated game with the Mass Effect name!

Bioware says "yes". Players say "hmmm", because there's some conflicting information. In any case, the endings don't differ that much from each other, so I wouldn't worry.

Here's something I never noticed during my run, only read it on bio forums: you can use the map to check for all levels of Citadel/Normandy, not just the one you're on. Would have saved me alot of time searching for stuff/characters.

Hmm, wiki says you have to play a new game, importing an ME3 character, to get levels 6-10.

You can only upgrade them to V But, to answer your question, the weapons have differing stats, even at high levels. The Spectre weapons, while very high cost, aren't _that_ much better than the weapons you find; they're just well rounded.

Oh? I've gotten at least 2 or 3 romantic scenes with her, up to that point. And they were decently done too. I got the impression they put more effort to it, myself. Sounds like the game is playing itself more. Is it only the Normandy or is there more Party Banter as well out in the field? Yes, in the field as well, including unique cutscenes on missions. Several of the NPCs will also hang out in various places on the Citadel, when you go there.

The Day-1 DLC's quest is short, and not very interesting. The squadmate on the other hand, is. He also has a lot of dialogue in various cutscenes on other missions. Diana Allers doesn't seem to have alot of dialogue, but you can have sex with her. Dunno if she has more after you do, I passed up on it. EDIT: On that note, all the NPCs on Normandy have waaayyy more dialogue than they did in ME1 or 2. Including dialogue with each other, as opposed to just with Shepard.

I'm pretty sure enemy engineers can't place a another turret before the current one gets destroyed. Agree about the quest logging. Too often I just end up having to trump through all areas until I find the thing I'm looking for. This is especially annoying for quests that basically say "go to planet X!", but don't even tell what system it's in... For the Hanar quest, you need to check the terminals in the embassies, presidium commons and docking bay loading area, then head back to the embassies.

Yes, but the posts got lost behind all these posts about transvestite trolls or something. 1st impression for now is, it's game mechanically better than 2.

The hair for me1/2's default femshep is turned blond on importing. Or, at least, I don't see why it would happen to me and not everybody else. You can change it, naturally, but I thought the available reds were too deep, so I just kept it the way it imported.

OMFG, my femsheps hair color didn't import correctly! This is a travesty! Bioware is so going to hear about this!

FF13-2. It's kinda fun.

It's a movie. You go see it in theaters. It's in Japanese, because it was made in Japan, and opens in Japan. I guess there's English trailers somewhere.

Because I know all of you are just dying to see it, trailer for the DA anime movie: (Buy tickets, get DLC items!)

"Gorpel Hind" certainly sounds like TSR.

That would kinda be missing the point, if the Ankheg armor is still statwise a +2 Plate Mail....

I prefer the Composite Longbow +1, which Fuiruim sells. It has thac0 +2 dam +3, while the markmanship bow has thac0 +3 dam +2. And yes, you could "join" the bandits in vanilla BG. By the way, how is Greylord using the Ankheg Plate Mail? I thought Archers were restricted to leather.

Oh, I guess I can be in the queue too. Since I can't be a hard-boiled Lizardman detective, I guess I'll be an Inquisitor.

Archers are just ridiculously powerful. At least you didn't make him an Elf.

I've been killed by a mudcrab.

Going for a specific Victory Type from the start is just much more effective than deciding later on. I have no problem with playing a random leader or map, but I will decide my strategy from turn 1.
