[ALL] Dragon Age 2 USE SPOILER TAGS

Are there achievements for playing through each class like in DA:O and ME1? I'm never going to get through 6 playthroughs in DA:O.

Yes

I 100% DA:O before the plethora of dull expansions came out with more achievements. I am still so burned out on that game I can't even play the expansions that I purchased.

EDIT - Although you can cheat a little. Just play through the 6 origin stories, which are all very short. Then, with your character, just try to save before major final decisions in the game. Do the one you WOULDN'T WANT TO DO first. Get achievement. Load save. Go through as you would like to play it, get other achievement. I'm not really one to try to 100% a game that I don't love, and as much as I don't like spamming for crap like that, I wish I had known to do that beforehand. Otherwise you basically need to do all 6 origins and then 4 play throughs (1 choosing one side, the other choosing the opposite).

Jesus balls. This game is going to take too long for me to even do three playthroughs.

It doesn't help that DA2 is also already out.

PM me Brnt if you want details on how to get most, if not all the trophies/Cheevos for DA:O.

I'm not going to clutter up this thread with non-DAII stuff anymore.

Now if you want DAII Cheevos, IGN put up this video to help with the easiest ones:

I warn you that there is SPOILERS in it as far as very early game stuff is concerned...

So...I picked this game up on Tuesday night after working late, installed and started playing at 8PM. Next thing I know it's 3:25AM and I'm blearyeyed and realizing that I have to be at work at 7:30AM the next morning. Promised myself I'd demonstrate more self control the following night, since I had to be at work even earlier Thursday (6AM). Wednesday night comes and I get home even later, decide to start playing for a little bit at 9PM. Girlfriend goes to bed at midnight and suggests that I maybe come too to avoid another night like the prior. I decline and just say I'm going to "finish this one sidequest up" and then be in bed at 12:30. Cue to 3AM, stumble to bed. Cue to this morning...and now I'm fricking EXHAUSTED. But I love the game. /random thought

Pretty much how my first two nights with DA:O went and I'm totally withdrawing now and it sucks.

And now you see why I play the series...

And now you see why I play the series...

I spent THREE HOURS just talking to people and somehow still want to play...

 

[Maynard]

i am really wanting to play this but im thinking i might have to shelf it for awhile. im not the type of person who plays 2 games at the same time. if i try i cant dedicate myself to either one. its either the show or da2

 

[j.hen]

Just rented this. Bout to smoke a bowl and dive in.

 

[jms493]

Precisely the reason I didn't go ahead and buy #2. I have a hard time watching games go untouched.

Money now, money later.

I'm okay with spending a little extra later.

 

[j.hen]

K I'm officially in. My mage is doing work, dude looks like Leonardo Dicaprio if he played Thor. It's hilarious.

$7 for an extra character (sidequests and everything) plus a little more if you want all the extra DLC gear plus the dog and the mirror that lets you change the way you look...

I KNOW they have more DLC Chapters to add to the story if what I'm hearing about the ending is true.

That's another $20-$30 they'll get out of you if you're willing to pay. bama:

 

[j.hen]

Still going. Loving it. I'm glad I picked a mage because there happens to be some drama about mages going on. Scandalous! ...Unless it happens with whichever you choose? I dunno. Either way Leonardo Thor aka Kusher Hawke is doin' work.

I'm cynical on the podcast. You think I'm going to spend money on a dog, mirror, and extra gear?

I didn't buy the extra gear in ME2, either. Missions and characters only. And you better believe I'll catch them on sale down the road.
