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".

 

 

:p You never even play a child.

"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.

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.

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!"

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.

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.

He didn't seem to particularly care at that point in the video.

I doubt the PC is worth "unimaginable rewards".

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!

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 = :thumbsup: Shame they didn't follow it through.
