You lose out on the exiled prince dlc, so one character.

I say wait, after seeing the end, I expect dlc will be needed.


BW has no excuse sorry, they arent that tight for cash.


Oh it gets much worse, there was a vid on youtube after Merrils romance, and the writers try to hard to make her cute, its not really a spoiler but some people will [censored] so

I hated that. Allthough its either her or Isabella, or emo Fenris, or crazy old Anders.


Simple, Tali is fanservice, and a character who the writers tried to hard to make "cute" she gets nervous just talking to you, and apparently had a crush on you despite NEVER showing it before, and well she is just annoying.
Also the devs pretty much admit its fanservice becuase she wasnt a LI in the first game, the devs thought she wouldnt have many pople like her as a LI becuase of "chcken feet" thier words.

Oh and while that made me not really care for Tali, her fans made that hate. Blame the horrific "art" and creepy fan fics. Also The Talidoll, what has been seen...

Using the default "No compromise" backstory, i just met him in the hanged man :lmao:

And Merrils "oh dear I am so nervous and cute" thing works for me ^_^ Still, she's a , may be a bad idea to get on her bad side :bolt:



Should've said "finite resources" as i thougth about time and people too. Interesting to see how Skyrim will be with it's long deveploment time...

Ugh 4th wall jokes. It's like listening to a fanwank fanfic being acted out. The dialogue all sounds so... wooden.

Consideiing DAO was 6 years, they didnt have an issue of time, not our problem they couldnt wait to churn out a sequal that lead to so much recylced content.


That alistair scene was amazing... Makes me want the game, I loved the references.

Alistair looks "off" in that.

Very off...I guess being king has done a number on his looks.

Interesting contrast between the slightly reskinned Origins armor he's wearing, and the getup Cawke has; looks like some kind of weird crossover between two completely unrelated works. And what the [censored] is the point behind that slab of metal sticking out of Cawke's chest?

Very interesting - thanks for explaining this.

I found that I was able to increase the anisotropic filter setting to 16x without any noticeable impact on the frame rate, but with a huge improvement to the visuals.

On FO3 and FNV that setting has a bigger impact on fps. Now I understand why.



holy crap that is a lot of great screensshots - thanks for uploading these




Have to agree with you there. Also a fan of the character design on the default Fem Hawke.

Blea. That cameo svcked.

Got to play about 4 hrs last night. Just thought I'd post some general impressions.

*Started on nightmare, turned it down to hard. I'll try nightmare later but for now I want to play and enjoy the story.

*Environments look pretty cool so far.

*I don't want your free armor and weapons

*Characters aren't too bad, I'm actually enjoying the family dynamic.

*Love the art style of the cut scenes, even though some are confusing.

*So dalish elves have a scottish accent?

* Didn't think I would enjoy the new dialouge style, but I am. Not knowing EXACTLY what your gonna say leads to some interesting moments and some WTF! ones.

*Geez I hope they fix the auto attack thing for consoles. This is my biggest prob, I don't want to spam a button I want to use tactics, watch it play out, and issue an order every now and then.

I want my money back.

Welsh/Irish.

I think they sounded fine w/ out an accent in DAO. Accents are always strange in fantasy games cause your applying real world accents to an imaginary one. And we already have those accents associated with certain cultures so when I hear the elves accent I'd assume they love braveheart and dine on corned beef n cabbage.

Why am I talking about there accents? Their look is actually what kinda shocked me.

Yea, the Dalish look like they've been crossbred with rabbits or something.

its WoW all over again.

It is, I think, supposed to be a bevor. When you wear it the way you are supposed to, it protects your neck/throat, and possibly the lower part of your face. It is also supposed to be worn with a helm. Some of them were articulated. None of them were worn that far down on your chest.

Hawke takes his fashion tips from Isaac Clarke.

And his armor too

Good thing BW resolved the issue where PS3 DS2 wouldn't get you the armor for PC DA2. I wouldn't want my other pre-order junk to feel lonely stashed in the storage chest

I like it, the Dalish represent the Celts, humans are all English (it seems) so I like that, may aswell make everything like it is Orlais is French, this entire game is just Europe with magic and spells Much better this wa than with everyone i the last game.

They look terrible, mainly becase it looks like they are anerexic.

Miranda = "dat ass"
Tali = "dem hips"
Merril =. http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w72/17th_Knight/da2.jpg


*shudders* new elves look terrible.

I searched the forums and couldn't find an answer. Also I for some goofy reason can not post on the bioware/ea forums even though I am logged in.

My question is, How do I make Vaaric better at the lock picking skill in this game??? Is it one of the skill trees or does it depend on his level???

merged a new thread into this one,

Well ty for letting me know, coming back to a blocked page and wondering why its messed up...LOL JK Had to give ya a hard time.

I think it mainly depends on the cunning score

Just picked up the signature edition today

So far I've loved it! I don't see why so many people criticize it....however it might just be that I end up loving anything from Bioware or Bethesda....

About to download the extra content, soundtrack and all that good stuff as soon as my system is done updating.

If ME3 and The Witcher anything like DA2 than Skyrim will easily be GOTY

All four are almost certain to be, regardless of what they're like.

Yes, when it comes to awards the game itself dosent matter, just the brand and marketing/hype.
Allthough I hear the witcher is good, sadly it never came to console.
