Thought the gays might enjoy this.  Andrew Sullivan is probably the most popular gay blogger in America.

I finally broke down and bought it to play after finals. What mistakes should I avoid?

Well, you failed to avoid the first obvious mistake!  :lol:

I kid, but the game isn't for everyone.  I stopped out of boredom partway through.  Couldn't even tell you where I stopped in the plot, because I just ran out of "care."  Most seemed to like it, though, and some liked it a whole lot.

I don't think that's quite fair.

I'm not a big fan of the combat system.  I think others agree.

As far as fantasy settings and games though I think it's great.

Not sure what part of my post could possibly qualify as not fair.  :huh:

Having a differing opinion? :lol:

The first obvious mistake being to purchase the game? :unsure:

I really hate the fights that are preceeded by long stretches of dialogue.  I wind up needing to fight them 3-4 times, thus being forced to wade through the dialogue 3-4 times. :bleeding:

I don't like the fights preceded by dialogue as they force your character out of stealth, and then leave you all grouped together.

Although it also teleports your group to you, can be useful at times if you want to skip lots of enemies.

They almost always autosave right after the dialogs or give you a chance to quick save real fast.  Which specific fight are you having problems with?

All of them?

Seriously - it feels like I need to run through most fights at least a couple of times in order to figure out the strategy.

Do you suck or do your party mix suck?
Four characters
1 tank (most often Alistair since he is one from the start) in massive armour
1 Dps (you, Zathran or Leilana though can work with Sten or Oghden as well)
1 CC (you or Morrigan)
1 Healer (most often Wynne since she is that from the start)

All you need to do is run around with you as CC and do Frost cone, petrify and Choking imprisonment to win any fights.

Toughest fight I had? The Broodmother as I hadn't picked up Wynne at that point and Morrigan had to both heal and CC, though I did take her down without reloading once. After I picked up Wynne, no problems at all as long as I used this party mix. :thumbsup:

Apparently the most recent patch (released yesterday) has gimped winter's grasp/cone of cold somewhat.
