*grumble*go to bed already woman....*grumble*

I feel your pain...the gf is here tonight and she insists that we play Hasbro Game Night Scrabble. First Friday in longer than I can remember that she is bouncing off the walls with energy. Damnit.

Warden's Keep DLC - $7 CAD.

Took me an hour to do it, gives good background story info a couple lengthy fights with a few tough baddies in there. Some good gear to be found too.

A bit pricey for what I got, but I did enjoy what I played.


I'll review the other $15 one since I got that for free, when I get to it. Working through Redcliffe right now, good times...such a fun game.

I just went and got Shale...one of the sequences in it is kinda neat, but otherwise...15$ would be a ripoff if it didn't come packed with the game.

Who do you guys play with? I go with Leliana, Morrigan, and Alistair, but Alistair is going to be replaced by Shale because he's a whiny cunt. And Shale looks awesome.

I'm like 9 hours in it doesn't even feel like I've scratched the surface.

I haven't had any problems with framerate so far, but a SHIT ton of pop-in, even worse than Mass Effect.

Thanks for the review, is it this one of the other one that increases your inventory space?

 

[BazookaJoe5]

I'm working through the Dwarf area now. I thought the Bracilian (sp) Forest was easy but holy hell this place is nuts.

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

The consequences of dialogue are excellent.

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

ARRRRRGGGHHH I can't decide!

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

spoiler if you're not past Redcliffe

 

I totally just had dyke sex with a demon for the lulz. And the little boy is fucked when he's older :rofl:

 

[jms493]

Forza
batman
Marvel
COD: MW2
Borderlands and Dragon Age......ugh

 

[riley420]

What is the best order to tackle the missions in? I'm at the Dalish elf camp and getting smoked by all kinds of guys in the forest.

I'm a fucking elf mage...wearing armor. Sweet.

Yeah the draw distance is very short...ah well.

I didn't get any more inventory space...so unless I missed something..

No kidding.

Redcliffe moment....

 

I decided to fuck the demon that possessed Connor and she'll be taking him back over when he gets older....should be interested to see what happens down the road LOL.

I'm a bit disapointted they dropped some of the sexual scenes simply because I felt unrewarded for what I chose. I could have gotten an item, exp for defeating her, etc. Instead I got zilch. Kinda pointless to provide that option if I'm not even going to get some softcore lesbo scene out of that decision. :bawling:

 

[killgod]

a tip that i just found out regarding Warden's Keep DLC

there's a storage chest there once you complete it. so you can go there and stash all your goodies whenever you want.

 

[riley420]

Definitely do the "Circle of Magi" quest or whatever it's called first.
You'll get Wynne and she has a heal spell which makes a massive difference.

Thanks...the elf quest is kicking my ass. I'm going to have to come back and do that one later.

 

[BazookaJoe5]

I did the Elf/Werewolf quests first...then Shale...then to the Dwarf place. I'm in the Deep Roads now, which is an enormous dungeon...and it's kicking my ass.

 

[SethMode]

I'm going for the Urn right now in Haven, and HOLY BALLS the difficulty amps up like I never believed. First in the fight with Kolgrim (I think that was his name) where my first 4 tries I was slaughtered in a matter of seconds. THEN comes the battle on the mountaintop with the High Dragon. I shit you not, I died instantly like 3 times. He also has this attack where he'll grab a melee character in his mouth and chow down on him until that character dies.

 

[JeremyHight]

For anyone that doesn't have it already, this game is only 49.99 at Amazon.

 

[Diivox]

this game is far and away the best pc game ive played in years. ive been craving a nice long story heavy rpg for so long. the consequences to your actions are so detailed and the world so very thoroughly awesome. unlike the other bioware games theres no good or evil meter so i actually play it naturally. hard scrabble group of travellers rolling into a new village, i was an evil bastard to the people because i needed the merchants discount, but i get to another place and i see the townspeople ready to die from bad guys... i cant let them be defenseless, i have to defend the village. it plays so... natural. so immersive.

i am extraordinarily impressed and it was worth the money (got it for 49.99 @ best buy)

Damn you, MW2, for kicking my ADD into overdrive.

I'll never finish this game.

This.

COD4, Fallout 3, Marvel 2, GTA4 and MW2...

I don't envy Twigg's huge collection and I feel as though these other games might collect dust.

EDIT/Addendum: Holy shit at this load time for the game install.

Not as slow as MGS:4, but damn.
