Malcador Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Fighting that spider queen was a pain in the ass. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humanoid Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Well, I'm playing a human rogue. Yes, she is gimped, but I'm still having fun with her. She's a backstabber, not a bow gal, so I want the Assassin specialization... but when I finally am "old" enough to choose a specialization, I find they are all locked. I know that Zevran will teach it too me, AFTER I find him and AFTER I spend about 20 hours warming him up... ... But is there any other way for me to unlock the Assassination specialization? I'm currently wandering the Fade, and when I finally get out I'd really like those Assassin bonuses. There should be a book somewhere in Denerim IIRC. Check the merchants. Will do! I just hope I can afford it. Thanks. Well you can always save, buy the book (selling everything you own if you need extra cash), learn it, then reload and have the specialisation open. Yes, it's sort of cheating, but cheating the the same way that overclocking is stealing. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanschu Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 As far as I can tell there are 3. The regular edition (comes with Golem guy), and a standard collector's edition, and a digital collector's edition (comes with Warden's Keep instead of the map and stuff). I'm not sure what the Dragon Armor comes with. (yeah, a bonus perk for Mass Effect 2. I believe you also get the armor for your character in DA as well).

Gorth Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Sorry, I probably got the standard version then, maybe next time It was the only version they had in the EB Games store. Edit: It would probably also have said so on the box if it was anything but standard I assume. Edit2: Redeemed the code and is currently downloading complimentary golem guy. Didn't somebody mention something about having to manually download a 1.01 patch or so somewhere? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Gorth Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Downloaded and installed the 1.01 patch.

alanschu Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 LOL. I believe there's a version mismatch on the VC++ libraries.

Gorth Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Thanks, yeah that was the issue. I followed the link in the forum post (and dowloaded and intalled the file from MS's website) and the game started nicely.

Maria Caliban Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Fighting that spider queen was a pain in the ass. Prepare your ass for greater pain. An even bigger, badder boss is next, and then a slightly less hard boss fight. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.

TheHarlequin Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I was a bit underwhelmed with the Dragon armor too. Though the process of getting it was very entertaining The armor you get from wardens keeps is vastly superior as a whole then the dragon armor. Sure the da has higher armor stats but the wardens armor you get stats bonuses World of Darkness News http://www.wodnews.net --- "I cannot profess to be a theologian; but it seems to me that Christians who believe in a super human Satan have got themselves into a logical impasse with regard to their own religion. For either God can not prevent the mischief of Satan, in which case he is not omnipotent; or else He could do so if he wished, but will not, in which case He is not benevolent. Fortunately, being a pagan witch, I am not called upon to solve this problem." - Doreen Valiente Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
