Just finished my first playthrough as Hawke mage on Nightmare difficulty... The difficulty is okayish, I don't find the bosses IMPOSSIBLY tough, even High Dragon, you'll learn how to handle them very fast after dying a few times and knowing what they do at different stages. I used the same save to kill High Dragon and Meredith a few times... nothing special just time consuming.

The hardest part for me is when you are surrounded by a lot of Shades/Rage Demon or Mage, those irritating stuff either keep disturbing your spellcasting,knock your healer back or they kill you in one shot (the Mages)

On my first playthrough I did quest with Fenris but stopped halfway so didn't recruit him, end up cannot do the companion quest to get the best lightning staff. I also missed XenbeckXasdasdhardtospell, didn't spot the evil tome, that might be the hardest? No idea.

Second game now with my Warrior, I have to admit that it was much harder than playing as a Mage. I died a few times as Ancient Rock Wraith where as my Mage breezes through the battle... My AOE skills always one shot my teammates too

By the way, what's the fuss over Varric's Bianca lol, I found a lot of shortbows at the end that has higher damage, heavily greened and has a slot or two Maybe my level was too low.

just finished it too. story wise, i'm happy.

but no quest branching, meh battle, simplified combat, crafting and inventory control.

this really feels like ME.

Feels that ME2 is better..haha

^OOT, 2 spongebob are commenting ME. LOLwut

meh, i finished it twice and don't feel like playing it anymore. IMO origins still better, in term of story. but i really think DA2 just a cliffhanger. DA3 gonna be epic. (i think) lol

varric is imba yo. give him the lyrium idol if you dont need 31% attack speed. he gets 4 rune slots for bianca. at level 20+ he was easily out DPSing everybody

The speed rune outshines the 4 slots... I was getting 37% speed at the end with my 13x Physical Dmg Bianca.

On Nightmare... should be the highest burst damage combo

2H Warrior is so crazy powerful in DA2 it feels like Origins' blood mage lol.

hm have you guys ever encountered critical hit bugs? I was playing the game through act 1 and then when I reached act 2, my critical hits stopped happening..not sure if it's gone entirely, but previously I gauge my critical hits with the sound effect (sorta like a glass smashing sound)...

In act 2, I didnt hear a single critical hits from my rogue........ I used maker's sigh previously but is that the cause?

i think its the rogue dagger bug. just swap your dagger postions. you can hear the weapon noises after that. its quite loud

hmm.. if that's the case then I've swapped some daggers with stronger ones, but I'm not sure about this... gonna try this when i got home. thanks

no i meant swap the 2 dagger positions. as in left dagger swap to right; and vice versa. it worked for me. the sound effect came back

Ive done this too, still the clashing/glass breaking sound effect of criticals are gone I guess ill have to bear with it then...........

Finished DA2 a month back.. seriously meh compared to DAO. I wished I could have continued with my old gray warden from DAO.

Anyone has SLI setup running on DA2? I can't seem to get my SLI working for this game, lol.

pls confirm is the interface and graphic for da2 in ps3 and pc the same?

anyway...i kinda dislike da2 new interface and fighting mechanic...its too fast...i dun think i hav time to control my companion. feels like the new control suits for solo play best

ohh...did i mentioned i bought the ps3 ver and the graphic....i feel its kinda dumbdown....regret abit...
