I'm still in game 1. I'm bored with one of the major plot points so I've been doing side stuff.

I only just went to my camp for the first time last night. :lol:

I meant the game, not the camp.

But that's how far (or not) I am in the game.  I just left that starting village.

How many times have you people gone through?  Other than our suave slavic friend that is?  :P

I'm clocking at 50 hours. Yes, I'm slow.

There is some function on your character sheet that can tell you exactly how far along you are.

I'll take a look & report tomorrow then.

I had Leliana all set up with her bow on my first play through and I thought was a great addition...but there were some things I would do differently next time.

I think giving rogues bows is sort of a waste.  They cannot steal things and use their rogue skills unless they are in close combat.  In fact I am trying on my second playthrough on a rogue to just get rogue skills and forget the weapon skills for awhile.  I need to be out there backstabbing and stunning and debuffing and stealing stuff not hanging back shooting a bow.

By the way Leliana is a pretty cool bard archetype, I enjoyed her little insights and lore and all that and she was a nice and colorful character.  I don't really see how she would be considered a bore...

She's taking up a party slot that could be used by a character the gays are attracted to. That's why she's a "bore".  :P


In any case, I put a script on her that has her stealth and then steal whenever she is being attacked by melee. The chance to steal certainly seems to come up more often than I expected it would when set up like that. Aside--I hate how conversations that result in combat always teleport all my peeps into a big group standing right in front of the opponent. I wish I could enter those conversations with Lel back in the other room or something.  :(

Which, while not unique, was sort of refreshing and interesting.  Most computer game women are stereotypical tough bitches so it was nice to have a little variety.

I think she's physically hotter than Morrigan, but Morrigan's personality is way hotter, so my PC is currently drilling Morrigan.

I don't remember Leliana doing a great amount of giggling. She's sweet and caring but she's not stupid.

Martinus

Yeah, I don't mind Leliana. I think she is ok - I just like Zevran more.

Oh and I know this is not a spoiler thread but once you learn Leliana's back story you realize she is not an idiot at all. She is actually quite interesting and complex.

garbon

I find her dull as I've not heard any witty banter out of here when I've had her about.
