Dragon Age IIFollow

Best secondary character in the game. Period.

I was genuinely miffed that they didn't develop him as a character more in DA:O. In fact, I think an expansion pack, or subsequent sequel, that takes place amongst the Berresad would be fascinating.

I played the **** out of DA:O, most of the expansions,& just beat the demo.

And let me tell ya, I cannot wait to *****"romance" Isabella.

the witcher 2 is gonna embarrass the **** out of da2.

there's some screenshots of tw2, around post 10 or so someone posted da2 for comparison.

I haven't played The Witcher before; is it any good?

Judging by the pics in the thread you linked, I won't be playing The Witcher II, haha. My computer won't be able to handle it!

I tried it. Got about an hour in, and I can't get on with the camera angles. Close in isometric doesn't really feel right. It just feels... I don't know. Antiquated I guess is the closest word I can think of.

Of course, this could just be me being dumb and I can actually change it to normal third person, but I tried and couldn't find anything in the options to do it.

I might give it more of a try at some point, but I initially found the controls and camera a little infuriating.

And yes, I heard something about collecting cards for women you sleep with and being able to use them in a card game? I might play it through just for that, if it's true.

Interesting. It sounds like it was just me being dumb. I'll have another look.

Thankyou for the information :)

Played through the demo as a mage. When I got to the second Ogre fight, things got nasty. I had the sister set up as healer, and for obvious reasons she was no help, so my party wiped fairly easily. I had to kite the damn thing along with it's minions and pick them off one at a time. Right after I killed it and the next wave was about to begin my game glitched or something, so I missed out on Flemeth's entrance, and just went straight into the conversation. Can't say that I like her redesign. The hair is a bit silly and the tits are a bit oversized for her character. That sort of thing works fine for Isabella, but just doesn't look right on the Witch of the Woods. Speaking of Isabella, she's the most interesting character in the demo. The Templar chick was just annoying, but since she's the only viable tank in the demo (if you aren't playing one) you're stuck with her.

As to combat, it's faster, but still pretty much the same. Spam attack while waiting for ability timers, the only difference this time around is that you have to actually press the button to attack instead of auto attacking. One thing I don't like is the addition of timers on potions. That's one of the things that made the Ogre fight such a pain. I was stuck without a healer so potions were all I had to work with.

Umm..... what?!

Ah, I see now. SpoilerIf you roll a mage, the sibling who gets creamed is the other mage. In my case, I rolled a warrior, and the sibling that got roflstomped was my brother, another warrior, so I had my sister the mage for the fight.

Edit: Spoilers!

so this is the next part from DA 1? if I just play the DA 2, would it be okay? or I also need to play the DA1?

A bit off topic here, but I've just started playing Dragon Age Origins and am loving it. I see that there is a lot of downloadable content for the game. My question is at what point can I consider playing the additional content? Is the additional content intended to be played after the main storyline has been finished? I may not want to wait if there's good armor/weapons/etc to be had from the DLC that I can use in the main story line. I can't seem to find any information on this.

A thousand spoons to you, sir. Thank you.
