dragon age 2... really outdated graphics imo.. they should license a good graphics engine instead..

DA's graphics still look good to me. This coming from a guy who adores Crysis.

Can somebody put up some links to Dragon Age Origins mods?

Or at least recommend some.
*
DA has relatively few quality mods, unlike Oblivion since the game has been phenomenal from day one. Very few quirks.

Among the mods most noteworthy are,

1) Extra Dog Slot (You get an extra companion)

2) White Teeth for NPCs (vanilla ones are rotten)

3) DA Modder (Mod manager)

4) Better Sex Cutscenes (self explanatory)

My only gripe with the game is that everyone runs like a gorilla. Bioware needs to sharpen up their animation skills. And also less Fed-Ex quests.

Don't forget the weapons.... very bland.... really disappointed with the weapons looks as well as how they cling to the back...

But... then again characters are very interesting... and I mean characters from DA origins... I kind of look past the presentations... Alistair,Morrigan,Leliana and heck.. Oghren fun as well... DA awakening characters well... I haven't finish it yet... Trying... But put it aside after encountering the first mage who said "I didn't do that" sad.gif wtf for a while... not funny...

Hey.... I saw Flemeth name in DA 2 in DA wiki... She lived... Nutty old bat...
*
I've killed Flemeth once, I'll kill her again. Oooo...witch of the wilds.

Which reminds me, what news of her daughter. That sneaky witch thief is impregnated with my kid.


P/S - There's one thing I didn't like about DA Awakening, it treats The Joining and the Rite of Conscription like a casual affair. The damn chalice is now passed around like a soda. Its supposed to be serious and dramatic.

I killed her on every origins I've Played.. It's fun to fight a dragon which only appear three times in the games...

I was thinking that the child would be a key role in the sequel of the dragon age.... But then again if Morrigan isn't impregnated... how the hell the story would go... But the writers said we haven't seen the last of Morrigan... So she might appear in DA 2... or If the writers fell down stairs and hit their heads Flemeth would be Inside Morrigan...

Have you look at the new Qunari in DA 2? They got horns now...

yea, Many are upset with the Joining options in DA awakening... Incompetent new commander...

I'm curious how the story goes if the player's warden is the queen consort...
*
Haha, Morrigan was impregnated by Loghain when I played through the 2nd time. It will be interesting to see how the sequel will address all these outcomes. Probably some will be disregarded. Damn funnyla, if you marry Queen Anora, then Loghain becomes your father-in-law haha.

Maybe in DA2 the PC will have to battle the Qunari since Sten mentioned that an invasion by his people is possible. Fear the Beresaad!! I wouldn't be surprised if Shale sticks by him in such a scenario. They both adore each other LMAO!!

Hmm... As far as I read the news, theres no mention about importing previous character from the prequel, Only importing the consequences' been made.

http://social.bioware.com/forums/forum/1/t...index/3056428/1

So Hawke is our guy.

Well, with morrigan... it could only be a brief camoe, like meeting her at a crosscroad and been given a random quest then poof.

Or.... Flemeth recruit the guy to track down Morrigan... in Origin, Morrigan ask player to kill flemeth, In II, it could be the other way around....

Sacred Ash trailer is awesome.... Wish the sequel could be like that...
*
Hmmm, a human only PC named Hawke (either male or female). No more dwarfs or elves I guess.

I gonna miss the classic dialogue tree system. The new dialogue wheel system feels too simplified and console-like.

Just completed DA Awakening. Took me 22 hours to finish all the quests.

The companions in the expansion are forgettable except Anders. He's like a cross between Alistair and Zevran.

Oh ya, Ser Pounce-a-lot can be used to revive fallen party members. How cute! I was wondering what would happen the first time I activated the kitten.

Nah, its EA's policy.

Yeah I know. I will be getting one soon. Probably HSBC since it has many perks and benefits.

Anyway, March 8 is the release date so most of us will probably get it on the 9th or 10th (for courier deliveries). Everyone prepare to take leave hehehe (students can skip classes brows.gif )

Its more action oriented now with less dialogue. I hate the dialogue wheel.

Feels like playing Diablo la hahaha.

The warrior class has been refined and is more deadly. Attack speed with 2 handed weaopn has been relatively hastened.

And Flemeth is just like Drizzt whereby both simply won't die.

Yep. I killed the bas**** while he was ambushed by gnolls in Cloakwood but he still appears in BG2.

He apparently forgotten but a swift blade into the drow's chest reminded him of our encounter hehehehe.

OMG how the Hell u managed to kill him.. he was godlike in BG..i used a character editor in my 2nd playthrough and used his weapons (dual scimitars, forgot the name) to kill him, in BG2 he and his party appeared , and was damn tough to kill, one of his party members got a crossbow with unlimited ammo lol
*
His AC in BG1 was like -20 hahaha. You'd have to kill him using cheesy methods.

In BG2 he was a lot easier to kill. I lowered 2/3 of his health before transforming into the Slayer and mauled him to death. Of course, I was the only one standing, the rest including my party members were dead as ****

lol the loot from them was awesome lol.. remebered the battle with his party, one of the toughest in game besides kangaxx... ahhhh i miss those RPG moments ler.. icewindale etc etc..

Dragon Age is as close as we can get to those kind of games now sad.gif

Kangaxx the Lich? Ahehehehe. The Ring of Gaxx is one hell of a loot. It was truly "MY PRECIOUS"

That fella like to spam Imprisonment spells haha. He casted that spell 12 times against my berserker. Unfortunately for him, berserkers are immune to imprisonment spells while enraged haha.

I hear you bro, old is gold. Miss those epic rpg moments too.

DA2 is the best we could expect for an epic fantasy RPG in 2011. It feels kinda dumbed down though with that simplistic dialogue wheel.

hmmm yeah i hate the new dialog thing also.

kinda feels like lots of console kiddies complained about the previous dialog system, as if they cannot understand it.

so the new dialog thing is very the simplified liao.
*
Yep. Another game dumbed down for the consoles.

Now the game feels more like Mass Effect. Dialogue is shortened considerably and the paraphrasing does not truly reflect on what the characters say or how they react.

I have mixed feelings about this game, i hate it and love it at the same time. The fast paced action is fine with mass effect 2, but DA was fineĀ  without the flashy moves and combat system. The main character now feels like a cheap rip off from a japanese action game. Characters were more believable in the original, cause it was done that way. We loved it, we ate it up, we treasured it, we bought it, so why cheese the whole IP up by changing game mechanics that were fine?
*
Agreed. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Sadly this is the state of the current crop of CRPGs. The newer generation of gamers (console kiddies) do not appreciate deep and engrossing dialogue, they just want to kill stuff. And for me personally, the amount of blood in DA2 is unnecessarily excessive. I LOLed at the exploding darkspawns. There's just blood all over the place. Whoa. It feels like someone incorporated Fallout 3's Bloody Mess into DA2.


QUOTE(hakimix @ Feb 27 2011, 03:52 PM)
Hopefully there will be mods to alter the gameplay and such to make it more like Origins. Don't know whether the toolset will be released or not though.

The game is supposed to be good from the get go. Don't pull off another Oblivion. Its a bad habit to depend on the community to fix the game's shortcomings.

How about Witcher 2?

It seems to be the closest to what CRPG ever be.

My concern with Witcher 2 is its script. On the other hand, its branching dialogue system is ideal to me smile.gif

In the first game, there were numerous times whereby NPCs would utter the F-bomb and it just seemed kinda awkward and improper for a fantasy game albeit a very dark one.

Anyway, here's a glorious screen shot for all you BLOOD AND GORE lovers muahahahahahaha (Bloody Mess on steroids)

I don't see what's wrong with swearing in a fantasy game. Witcher isn't just some typical goody fairy tales RPG. Great story and decent combat and role playing is what I'm looking for.

I'm fine with DA2's gore but I really dislike the locked camera. At least let me pan around when I zoom out or let me play like Mass Effect where my character don't run away when I accidentally clicked the ground.

At least the gore doesn't look as bad as what Beth made.
*
I remembered Geralt saying "f*ckin absolutely" or something similar during a casual conversation with a merchant in Vizima and that was just LOL moment for me. To some, it kinda killed the immersion since such a word has never been uttered before in a fantasy game haha. The writers just basically dropped random F-bombs in every conversation. Its like having Hawke say "F*ckin darkspawns! F*** all of them! hahaha

Anyway, to each his own.

One thing I like about DA2 is that Health and Lyrium pots are now universally bound to all characters. That saves me all the trouble.

Furthermore, the animation has been improved. Characters don't run like there's something shoved up their butts.

Complaints are basically that the camera is crap (Making aiming AoE spells a pain at range and tactics associated with it, rubbish), rather dull looking backdrops and Flemeth (That's the hottest GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGMILF I've ever seen). I could live with that though.
