Just finished my first playthrough on normal. My companions are Varric, Isabella and Merril. It's harder since have to rely on potion and no warrior as tanker (I'm a DW rogue). But the battle become more interesting.
Also, I didn't know that I can have to lovers at the same time. hehe. I'm using a fem Hawke and in a relationship with Isabella and Merril at the same playthrough. (no 3P only 1on1) |

Just reloaded my save game siding the templar to see the ending. Did anyone notice Zevran during the battle with Meredith? I paused while issuing commands and saw him killing Meredith along with my other companions. Why the heck was he even there?

Why the heck was he even there? if you side with templars, the grey wardens Nathaniel howe and zevran will join in the battle. i dun see either of them when i side with mages. i guess this means that the grey wardens approve if you side with templars. |

From the official game guide:
QUOTE You can have up to eight allies active in the final battle against Meredith: ◆ Hawke and the three members of the active party, plus Cullen: a mandatory fixture. ◆ Dog counts towards the total, so you might wish to send him away in order to see other cameos. ◆ As Meredith’s health falls throughout the battle, additional companions can join the fray. In order of priority, these are Bethany, Carver, Varric, Anders, Aveline, Fenris, Isabela and Sebastian. Finally, there are three additional cameos that can occur if you have completed specific quests: Donnic (if you completed The Long Road and have Aveline in the party), Zevran (A Murder of Crows) and Nathaniel (Finding Nathaniel). I completed the game but didn't get the Nathaniel quest... Instead I got the quest find the 3 brothers in the Deep Roads. |

Nope. I started from DA2 scratch.
Anyway overall the DA2 story is not bad, but it could definitely be better. I was expecting to become Viscount during the game, not AFTER. The end of Act 3 should be a whole new Act in itself (where we can participate) instead of just mere narrations. Or maybe they should switch Act 2 and Act 3 around. The Arishok was definitely a better antagonist than Meredith imo. So how will the story go if you didn't help Anders to complete his companion quest? Anyone tried that? |

To have Nathaniel and Donnic to fight together with you for the final battle is acceptable but to see Zevran there was just WTF. Might as well have Alistair, Leliana and Flameth too since they appeared in the story before.
Going to reload my save game again and try siding mages, keeping Anders by my side and see who will appear during the final battle. Find that the final battle is so much easier compared to the fight against the High Dragon, Arishok and that Golem boss in the Deep Roads. This post has been edited by flix: Mar 18 2011, 12:52 PM |

There he is, Zevran appears once Meridith starts summoning those statues. He appears to aid you even when you side the templars or mages.

QUOTE(Currylaksa @ Mar 18 2011, 01:59 PM) is there any difference in her involvement if you romanced her in DA1? She will mention something like the "Warden is dear to me".Somehow I feel like Bioware running out of original storyline and recycling. The Champion disappearing at the end reminds me of Revan. Bethany somehow reminds me of Imoen. Aveline? Jaheira (except you can't romance her). And I don't know why but ya Isabela kinda sounds like Morrigan. Also this instalment of DA, I don't really feel like I'm in a fantasy world. I mean when I walk into the Hanged Man, it feels more of a bar than a tavern. I miss the atmosphere where Neverwinter Nights and Witcher manage to convey. |

The final quest actually make me choose a hard decision, bloody hell choosing any side end up antagonizing the other side, but meredith was a freaking a-hole. Even i choose her side she still betray me at the end.
I also wonder why flemeth doesn't play any role in the game despite the devs go all the trouble to design her new fancy outlook ??? This post has been edited by TimKen: Mar 18 2011, 05:32 PM |
