Maria Caliban Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I read in a local magazine that pre-ordering at xyz store nets a Wild Wolf Talisman, do we know whazzat is?BTW, lol'd at advertisement saying "realistic fantasy world" and "childhood deeds having repercussions in the future". You never even play a child. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 is that really in the game? thats absolutely awesome if so. probably the single coolest thing i've heard about the entire game. There's quite a few spell combinations actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slinky Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 "As it happens, sleeping enemies who are then targeted by a horror spell suffer maddening nightmares that deal severe damage to them, instantly killing most weaker foes." Finally a good reason to use sleep spell! Spell combinations + "fatality" animations = I think I'm going to like killing things in DA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoonDing Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Finally a good reason to use sleep spell! Sleep was a life-saver in Baldur's Gate in the beginning of the game. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entrerix Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 i just hope they animated the sleeping people having nightmares writhing around in agony on the ground before perishing (their hair should turn white!) not just a blast effect. oh well, its a cool flavor even if its not animated Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Gfted1 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) I think its safe to say that particular combo would have never crossed my mind, which I like.

Bos_hybrid Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) What's tragic about his past? Well, born to a whore and sold into an assassins guild at a young age, is not a happy past is it? But as long as he doesn't start crying about how he had to kill so and so, and his troubled childhood, it's fine.

HoonDing Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) I assume he's an assassin sent to kill the PC? Doesn't seem very smart then to attack four people openly in broad daylight. Whatever happened to poisoned arrows & Morgul blades in the dark? So then of course he gets badly beaten and afterwards... wants to join you? Seems a bit odd. I like this video better than the Leliana one, at any rate. Edited September 24, 2009 by virumor The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as long as he doesn't start crying about how he had to kill so and so, and his troubled childhood, it's fine. It's not sad either. From what I understand, most people in the setting start out impoverished and unable to pick their path in life. To tell the truth, it sounds better than the dwarf and elven commoner origins. I hope it's not played up as horribly tragic. Zevran: My mother sold me as a young child to a famous guild of assassins. I was given excellent training and am now a respected and rich killer. PC: I grew up in a slum where I did whatever I could to stay alive. I have no formal education, starved most of the time, and was considered worthless by my own people. Zevran: You don't understand my pain! I assume he's an assassin sent to kill the PC? Doesn't seem very smart then to attack four people openly in broad daylight.

Monte Carlo Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Personally, I like the idea of a camp elf assassin. A lot. Even better, if he was cheerful about his lot in life and was refreshingly amoral about his profession. If only I could find out about it gradually, by talking to the dude, without another NPC telling me his life story in the monotone reminsicent of a speak-your-weight machine. As for his Duran Duran concept art = Shame they didn't follow it through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
