Anyone else looking forward to Dragon Age? (Spoilers and plot discussion here)

How much does the keep cost again? $7?  Do the folks who have it think it's worth it?

[Grey Fox]

What's in the Keep?

[DisturbedPervert]

It'd be even more difficult if you didn't use the keep either, or download the DLC.  The camp chest is a bioware mod the same as the keep, it's just free.  Walking back and forth is just a pain in the ass.

Who are the Qunari supposed to be.... the Norse?

I think so.  Big guys with pretty womens that you rarely see?

[viper37]

um ok, so is it actually possible to win the battle against the three Drakes in the Temple Caverns without turning difficulty down to easy? 

of course
It's super easy.


After the 5th or 6th attempt


What you need to do is to lure the characters one by one, try to dispose of the mage first, freeze the drakes, use sleep, horror, bash, destroy, kill, eliminate, whatever! 

IIRC, cold is effective against these beasts, so I used my freezing spells on the drakes, and concentrate on one at a time.

[viper37]

My (main) mage doesn't have that yet.  I typically use fireball in these situations but these dudes seem to be immune.  Usually fireball + let them burn/pummel with arrows and lightning bolts/arcane shots + sleep + horror on one target + CHARGE! or something like that.

dragons, dude, dragons!!  Do you really think a fire breathing beast would be damaged by some little fire??

Yes it is worth the 7$.  I got the collector's edition so I had all this included in my package, but I think it's all worth the 10$ more I paid for the game

What's in it?
Well, you got another level with some more creeps to kill.  Spawns&demons mostly.  A few ghosts.  A ton of experience.

And once it's complete, you can get 2 merchants, one of wich is a smith that can craft you a nice sword if you had the Superman interlude
And you got your chest, of course.

Imho, it's worth it.  So is the Shale expansion.  I so like that guy!

Yep. Cone of cold, ice weapons and winter's grasp ripped them up nicely. I don't have blizzard yet.

[Caliga]

Yes, I know that (now).

[MadImmortalMan]

What's in the Keep?

A very special drink, some old warden's sword and a couple of dudes you can buy some things from.

The next DLC has been announced, Return to Ostagar, for $4.99.

Honestly I would much prefer a real expansion pack in stead of piece meal dungeon packs like this.

[Caliga]

I still have not gotten the golem nor do I have any clue as to where to go to get him, but if he's anything like the golem form you get in the Fade, I badly need his ass in my party.

Way better than the form you get in the Fade.

I am finding blizzard to be rather worthless, myself.

I can get that.

However I am a total sucker and junkie for Bioware's sweet RPG crack.  I understand it is people like me who ruin it for the rest of you...but I am addicted.  *downloads*
