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

[Scipio]

I agree, Val, although I wasn't a fan of the whole fantasy nations based on real countries.

I did like female Jesus though.

She's Joan of Fucking Arc, for Chrissakes.

She's Joan of Fucking Arc, for Chrissakes.

And who was Joan but a Jesus figure?

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?

Cone of cold fixes their shit what good.

Edit : Actually, I find cone of cold makes just about every boss fight a hell of a lot easier.

F'shizzle, m'nizzle.

[Caliga]

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.

[katmai]

Yeah cone of cold is pretty wicked.

I never did that fight.  I snuck past and the rest of my party got teleported to me when I ran in to a cut scene   

I would have used force field to incapacitate one (can't resist) and then petrify and sleep and try to take them out one at a time

[Caliga]

Meh, I got tired of trying different strategies, all of which failed, so I just tuned the difficulty down to Easy for that fight.  Had to do the same thing later when I ran into some more drakes.  Unless I do that, they all have this Overpower move where they throw my peeps to the floor, one at a time, and eat them to death.  Just couldn't figure out any way to stop that from happening, aside from Sleep which has a cooldown of course.

[Grey Fox]

Cone of Cold + Jumpy Lightning = Death

[Solmyr]

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

Seem to be a blend between the Vikings and Mongols, in a generic "foreign invader" way.

[Caliga]

Cone of Cold + Jumpy Lightning = Death

I have neither spell, but I've since put Morrigan back into my party, who has Cone of Cold.

[Solmyr]

I agree with the Yahtzee review on one thing though, the world maps look like someone puked them out.

[DisturbedPervert]

Maybe you could interrupt it with something like Shield Bash.

But you have to travel to the keep in order to use it.  This is in your campsite so you can access it anywhere.  Much better.

true, also makes the game quite easier
That's why I use my Keep
