Maria Caliban Posted September 22, 2009 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.
alanschu Posted September 23, 2009 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.
Guest Slinky Posted September 23, 2009 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.
HoonDing Posted September 23, 2009 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.
mkreku Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Sleep was THE spell in Pool of Radiance! Until you got fireball, of course. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
entrerix Posted September 23, 2009 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 Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) I think its safe to say that particular combo would have never crossed my mind, which I like. Edited September 23, 2009 by Gfted1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Maria Caliban Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 The newest character video is out, Zevran. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Ooh, another tragic past? These just don't get old, do they? "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

Niten_Ryu Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Now that's one obscure looking and sounding character. Guy has bleech blond hair, more bronze tanning then Hulk Hogan and sound like Lape Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.
Monte Carlo Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Personally, I'm loving the dialogue that consists entirely of exposition.
HoonDing Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 If that Elf actually looked like in the concept art, I would surely take him along in my party. Melnibon The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Morgoth Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) The IE games hade the advantage that they wouldn't show us the gruesome characters directly face to face. Gosh this dude is ugly... Edited September 24, 2009 by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.
Nepenthe Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Wow... Thats... campy... You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Bos_hybrid Posted September 24, 2009 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. Edited September 24, 2009 by Bos_hybrid
HoonDing Posted September 24, 2009 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.

Maria Caliban Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 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. 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.

deganawida Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Sounds like Antonio Banderas. If so, wouldn't be his first VA gig.
Bos_hybrid Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I hope it's not played up as horribly tragic. That's the key isn't it. However DG hasn't really wrote any tragic whiners has he? That seems to be more of a DK formula.
Monte Carlo Posted September 24, 2009 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.
