Silverstar Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I spent a good half hour yesterday just running backwards and forwards over the bridge in Redcliffe with various party combinations to hear the bantering. Some of them really do make me giggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angeleyes Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I'm going to be purposefully vague in order to avoid spoiler tags, but I just wanted to say that...When I was in Orzamar's deep roads (my fourth and final of the 4 territories) and fought the boss blob, I'm sad to say that I switched it to Easy difficulty. Man it made all the difference in the world, but I am still disgusted with myself nonetheless.I switched it back up to normal afterwards, but I still feel like I cheated. Though from what I hear me playing without Shale is a marked disadvantage, and I feel like my 2nd play through I'll make much more intelligent ability choices and a straight normal playthough should be much more trivial.Heres to fulfilled ancient treaties! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max the Mostly Mediocre Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I just fought my first dragon. That goddamn thing literally hops around the battlefield, which makes it impossible to melee and, what's worse, when it lands near a character that character takes humongous damage (two hops killed half my party).So yeah, I decided not to fight that after all.

kungtotte Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 That happened to me too. I walked into this cavern looking thing and all of a sudden I was on fire yelling "OH GOD MY FACE WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FACE". Ten tries later I decided to save that encounter for when I'd gotten a little bit more bad-ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leliana can spot them from across the room, but Rhea could practically stand on a pressure plate and not see it, :dunce: . You know, that actually makes me curious -We already asked what people named their dogs - what are your character names, if you don't mind sharing?MineMage: Saris (Dog: BigWig)Rogue: Rhea (Dog: Hikage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungtotte Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Rogue: Lyna (Dog: Bent). I was too anxious to get into the game when I rolled my character, so that name is straight from the name generator. Bent is named for the dog from the Malazan books.

Max the Mostly Mediocre Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Rogue: Cenalee. A NWN character I once played on one of those hardcore RP persistent world servers.Okay, so I'm in the Circle Tower. Would someone mind explaining why the hell SPOILER: circle tower, first levelthere are random explosions all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't go anywhere near the Blob. I haven't actually used Shale either, but I can't see why he'd make things easier. MAges already make things incredibly easy.

Daeric Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 When I was in Orzamar's deep roads (my fourth and final of the 4 territories) and fought the boss blob, I'm sad to say that I switched it to Easy difficulty. Man it made all the difference in the world, but I am still disgusted with myself nonetheless.I actually found that to be one of the easier boss fights, the main blob itself doesn't hit that hard, most of the damage comes from the limbs, and if you whack them down a fair amount they disappear. The dragon fights however for the most part are just insane, through the hardest one apart from the High Dragon I actually think is the couple of 2-3 Drake fights you get fighting towards the High Dragon, generally coming out of ambush, hit fairly hard and have overpower.My doggie for my mage is where I'm hoping I got the name correct. I called my mage Taena and called the dog Russel (That is Taena Merryweathers sons name right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverstar Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Human noble rogue: Edana, which is pretty much the character I always play in Bioware games. She was my NWN character for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAges already make things incredibly easy.I haven't found Shale yet.I three mage'd that fight: Wynne kept us breathing while, Morri and I stacked fire and ice storms centered on the blob and kept Alistair hacking at the tentacles. It took two tries after I saw how the fight went. I pulled back to max range and it kept a few of the adds that spawn behind her from coming until it was all over.

Jacen Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Do I buy this game for the PC?Loved KOTOR, and Mass Effect.I'm one of the few people that disliked Baldur's Gate... I HATED the combat system. I'm sure the story of Dragon Age is awesome but also it looks like the combat is very much like BG? Yes or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
