Monte Carlo Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 SPOILER.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I wasted Wynne after I decided to slay all the mages, just to be on the safe side. That meant Morrigan for that entire quest, and having played it with both NPC mages it's easier with M rather than W. Cheers MC

deganawida Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 So, has anyone used Shale extensively? If so, does he comment on various things like the normal NPCs do? I like Shale, and find him to be an incredibly useful party member (in that he can easily switch roles in combat), but I love the banter in the game, and would hate to give it up.
Oner Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 The cheerful "you'll see a sword soon enough son" was hilarious, but the Loghain foreshadowing was pointless imo.

Purkake Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Purkake:She survived her parents', boss' and comrades' death. She has learned to suppress those bitter, self-destructive emotions. Focusing on rebuilding the Grey Wardens, she will patiently wait. Then one day, Zevran will send a letter. She'll go to the appointed place at midnight, knock on the door then kick it in, swords in hand. The rapidly growing fear in Marjosomething as she realizes her sweet dream had just turned into a nightmare will make my char grin with all the hatred, anger and insanity she has been nurturing all those years. Then she slowly advances... A few days later she exchanges farewells with friends and goes to the Deep Roads, slaying hundred Darkspawn before being reunited with her lover. Maybe you should look into writing more fanfic?

Purkake Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) Maybe someone should write Obsidian Boards fanfic? There's some serious tension between Volo and TheHarlequin, think of the possibilities! Get on it Maria. Edited November 13, 2009 by Purkake
Gromnir Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) Really? BG2? What was 'surprising' in BG2? The fact Imoen was your half sister? Let me guess, you were one of the ones who knew KOTOR's 'twist' the moment you read the manual, right? Sorry, BIO has gotten BETTER with the foreshadowing. "Still curious what it is about the Dwarves that are specifically similar to Klingon lore. What is it that is unique about the Klingon lore in particular? " There isn't anything. Anything the DA dwarves have in common with klingons are shared by other fantasy/sci-fi/human races anyways. personally, da dwarves don't remind us much o' klingons. sure, the dour militirism is similar. am not sure if klingons is having a rigid caste system... that could enhance similarities for those trekies in-the-know. even so, Gromnir did have a couple of klingon=dwarf moments. dwarves in da occasional mention Honor as some sorta cultural gestalt. also, the way the folks in the dwarf kingdom drops the occasional dwarf phrase into normal speech is soooooo star trek klingon. whatever money that the biowarians/ea used on their linguist were wasted resources. HA! Good Fun!

HoonDing Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 The Dwarven shtick reminded me more of the political bruhaha in Frank Herbert's Dune series. Particularly House Harkonnen. Also, the finale of the Human Noble Origin reminded me of how House Atreides got wiped out. But that's just me. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
TheHarlequin Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) You mean with her former guild leader. We confronted her. I decided to let her go. I am thinking I prob should have killed her...? You let someone, who is most likely going to come back and try to kill you again, GO? Have you learned nothing from games? NOTHING? While I am not RPing a pally I am RPing someone with decent morals. So I felt my char whould give her the benefit of the doubt.

TheHarlequin Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) More like middle trolling, rite? I don't agree with you and I am a troll now? Gezz get a clue and use proper terminology kid while you are at it. Opinionated, perhaps combative at times? Sure. A troll. Please. > You think that Jesus virgin birth thing was original? Think again. That story seemed to orginiate in ancient egypt the story of osiris. Its almost a identical story that predates jesus by many centuries. Jesus was a guy just ahead of his time in his philosphy and the stories of osiris got mixed in with him and then a century or so after he died all of a sudden became some (fictional) being. Great story, little fact once you see the source of it.
