Lmao that is just sad.

Spoiler

I sided with Anders because Sebastian kept making these underhanded cunty remarks about mages the whole game and then would act like they didn't apply to me (a mage) because he like followed me and shit.

I kinda figured he was a dick right at the start so never took him with me anywhere.

Spoiler

When it came to the final choice he sided against me with some fancy speech and a threat of retaliation and I was like "whatever, seeya".

So, i finished it this weekend including the Legacy DLC.
All and all i enjoyed it despite it's many, many flaws.
The lack of locations really annoyed me in the final act, go to Lowtown, go to Hightown ugh. It would really helped if they would've threw in some new locations.
Main quest didn't realy had a good flow in the final act either. Just did a quest for Orsinio, go home to check mail, Orsino want's to speak to you...what??? I JUST saw you, they should've threw in another quest, maybe a forced companion quest or something.
Story was pretty ok, excpet the ending

Spoiler

what the fuck Anders? So dumb..

Legacy was pretty damn awesome, great story, fresh locations and cool enemies.
But that final boss...holy shit, the dumbness of your party AI really shines here, it's been a while since i screamed at my tv screen, but oh maker, this was bad.
I hope for DA:3 they will keep the combat like this (I'm on 360, and this was miles better then origins) but get back the other playable races, better custimising and loot system from Origins.

Finished Legacy last night and I really enjoyed it. Highly recommended.

Spoiler

It felt good dealing with things Warden related once again.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Just finished the game.

Thoughts are jumbled right now, so I'll just leave this here.

Out of all the people you party up/get to know, only Varric, Aveline, Bethany, and your Mom aren't complete and utter shitheads.

Jesus Christ.

Seriously, has there been an RPG with this many unlike-able people?

Game itself isn't dreadful, just frustratingly inconsistent and reeks of cynicism.

Just finished my own version of Hawke being a jerk video: http://youtu.be/LWsgNLO90Ss

... I dunno, it was fun making it. She can be a real bitch at times, but it's funny hearing it in that posh accent.

Not bad, but it's a bit too long. I daresay you could've cut out half of the "jerk" comments, because they really weren't that memorable.

Mass Effect 2's a great game for some "jerk"-stuff, though. :lol

 

[lastplayed]

Yeah you can't beat Mass Effect. I just worked with what there is really, I guess I could have cut it down a bit, but I wanted to hit around 10 mins.

Did you take Anders?

Spoiler

I love it when Justice flips out.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Just finished Legacy.

Vast improvement over the Main Game. Finally brought back a sense of "adventure" with these dungeon crawls, and a nice bit of lore integration too.

 

[Khal_B]

Did you take Anders?

Spoiler

I didn't, unfortunately. I plan to rectify that soon though. I really enjoyed Legacy, so a second play-through is definitely in order.

Spoiler

And speaking of Legacy, I have a strong feeling Corypheus is going to make an appearance in DA3.

 

[lastplayed]

I also found the end to be quite moving, especially when

Spoiler

Hawke has a conversation with her dead mother. I'll have to try it again before that moment in the campaign to see how it plays out.

Did you go for the family outing achievement?

Well I'm playing on Steam so never notice the achievements.

What does it involve?

Same.

Spoiler

It also gave me some closure that I didn't get from the main game with regards to Leandra.

Also, if you haven't already, make sure you take one of the siblings along. I took Beth and she had a lot to say,

Spoiler

for obvious reasons.

Well I'm playing on Steam so never notice the achievements.

Taking one of the siblings along for the adventure nets you the achievement.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Well I'm playing on Steam so never notice the achievements.

Play with either your bro or Sis in the party. So hopefully they didn't die in your plythrough.

Spoiler

Take Bethany/Carver with for the duration of the DLC. Assuming you a) played this in Act I or b.) post game save, Bethany forced into the Circle and you side with the mages in the end. I haven't played mage yet, so I don't know anything about shithead Carver

It was pretty neat to have so many unique dialogue with Bethany, plus a scene at the end in your mansion. Not the same as Shadow Broker Liara stuff, but still, nice touch from BioWare. Then again, Bethany and Varric are the only naturally like-able party members to begin with.

 

[lastplayed]

Oh yep, I took Bethany

Spoiler

(as a Grey Warden)

.

So taking Anders and Bethany ensures some good moments/dialogue, and I also hear Varric has a bit to say too, will have to drag his ass along next time.

Future of the #DA franchise is very bright! Exotic locations, more consequences for the decisions you make, customized party appearances!

...sooo it's going to be like Dragon Age: Origins?

If DA2 had just built on the first game instead of throwing all that stuff out they wouldn't need to keep chasing their own tail. *sigh*

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I like how "More than three locations!" is a selling point

DA2 really raised the bar.

 

[inky]

LOL, the future of the franchise is all the shit they took out in 2... Who knew!

It's funny 'cause the only reason I am waiting for DA3 news is to see how they will inevitably make it worse.

 

[subversus]

reading this thread after reading Deus Ex: HR thread is chilling.

 

[Gvaz]

DA2 really raised the bar.

After they dropped it into the ocean, they raised the bar by about four inches.

 

[Nirolak]

Would people prefer if I put the DA3 info from PAX here or in the other DA3 thread?

New please.

 

[Nirolak]

New please.

A new one altogether or the one with the forum posts?

I'm fine with either, but I just want to check what people prefer, since Dragon Age has become a rather touchy subject on the forum. :lol

Okay, it should be up in ~5 minutes.

I'll staple the stuff from the old thread to it for those who missed it.

I'd say new thread but we could pretty safely guess what'll happen to said thread.

Depends how much Bioware talk out their arse this time.

 

[Gvaz]

Here, I hardly look at the main forum and I auto subscribe to threads.

 

[Lord_Nergal]

As a huge fan of the first game, DA2 disappointed the hell out of me. Here's hoping Bioware gets their shit together for 3.

Here's the thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=442706

Good, we aren't even going to pretend to take it seriously at the start.

I like these posts because I feel like this was exactly who bioware was trying to make their game for.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Felicia Day-LC

 

[Chinner]

[Gvaz]

Oh my god that elf LOL

 

[The Technomancer]

New DLC was shown on GTTV, debut trailer.

Okay, haven't even played DA2 and the actual look of the trailer was pretty laughable, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that I like the idea of breaking into an impregnable fortress.

Unfortuntly based on what I've heard about the main game and first DLC its likely to be mostly just "kill these dude and advance"

Also, Felicia Day's voice is annoying

 

[Arjen]

Looks pretty fun, Legacy DLC was good so i'll probably give this a go.

[K.Sabot]

So they are making Kasumi dlc #2.

Oh God, when that one guy said in another thread that Bioware now is only about jerking nerds off he wasn't lying. LOL

 

[Dark Stalkers]

oh god that was so frickin awesome day 1

Can Felicia be mai waifu?~~~~
