Dragon Age 2


Recommended Posts

If you mean it's written poorly and by an apparent idiot so as to be completely worthless, I agree. :)

 

Correctamundo. Also, seriously the replies will be: Good, Nasty or Badass? Seriously wtf?!

[i think you're overstating the differences between the systems.

 

Gromnir is correct about the differences. My first run was on hard difficulty (PC version), Rogue main character and Morrigan had minor healing spell. Redding swarm was the most difficult battle in the game for me on that run. Next run I had Mage main character, went to Mage Tower first and thus had 3 mage party. On hard difficulty Redding was a joke with that party setup.

Let's play Alpha Protocol

Er, so unless your second run was on a console, your point would be that party composition matters more than the system? I've played it on an identical party, both systems, (admittedly lower difficulty on PC), and got the "resounding victory" on the PC with miminal hassle.

 

But, sure, if it makes you guys feel more 1337, feel free to keep arguing that the PC version is harder. I have no data to back that up. :)

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

How can anyone be massacred at Redcliffe? Easiest part of the game no matter what difficulty you are on, or your party composition is. Easy easy easy.

Have your NPCs run into the bonfire in the first attack, have them run outside of the circle in the second attack, have them separated in the dungeon in the infiltration when the skeletons get triggered.

 

I got killed though once in gate area, my team separated and triggered all the darkspawn in the area, who proceeded to bash me.

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

So tell me Vol, where exactly were you when I was playing Dragon Age? Because in those three cases the first time I played I almost lost my party (and did totally in the fourth case) and I don't remember you being there. But thanks for the compliment on my gaming skills (even if you overestimate them)!

Heh. I was replying to your statement as if it were a question because you had 'have your..' at the start.

 

btw, Anyone who thinks that DA2 will only have struictly 3 dialogue ioptions ar ebeing fooled by a horrible preview, BIO has flat out said they lied .

 

And, I quote: "We put up to 5 choice options and 5 investigate options per dialog node. There is also a difference between choices (where you are actually deciding something) and giving you the opportunity to express yourself in different ways (which I think is quite cool, but not something I believe we have released any details on yet)."

there were a number o' threads on bio's da boards that observed the relative difficulty o' attempting redcliff as a first option post lothering. vol is being vol. the deep roads were probable the toughest challenge for a beginning player, but redcliff weren't far behind on the frustration-meter as expressed by posters at bio. the battles in redcliff tended to be loooooooong, and given the fact that many players had only morrigan (and probable little or no lyrium potions) as a non-healing spellcaster, there were far less margin for error than the elf or mage portions o' the game... you were not able to inch towards daylight. also, am wondering what kinda sick joke were the flaming oil. the undead would run through the fire quickly, being burned for minimal damage, but apparently our defenders liked to camp out and enjoy the flames.

 

HA! Good Fun!

 

ps the dialogue wheel... sucks. have 5 v. 3 emotes not make much difference when you still only gots 2 genuine vo responses. is developer sleight-o'-hand.

Because, like, it can't be a genuine role-playing experience unless I grapple with dilemmas like having to slaughter kids / old people / puppies.

 

What a crock.

 

It seems that, as usual, a sizeable proportion of Bio fans want to (a) cyber every object in the game including barrels (b) have a soppy romance with anything else not bolted down and

" I hope they learned how to do dialogue wheel properly from AP."

 

L0LZ Consideirng how poorly AP did it in comaprison to the MEs, I surely hope BIO doesn't learn how to do the dialogue wheel from that SOZZY game.

Was ME2 better? I seem to remember the general idea was 3 typical options to choose from which was "Friendly/Nice," "Neutral" "Aggressive"

 

I only played through ME2 twice though so obviously I hadn't chosen every dialogue action. Could always load 'er back up again I suppose to verify :)
