I left Sten to die in a cage.  I felt that a guy that butchered a whole family wouldn't be a good addition to the party.  Also the gay elf assassin.

.... Did you play this like it was real life?

Generally I can't shoot fire from hands in real life.  Mores the pity. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

About 15 hours in, am at the point where I can choose to move on to the end game.  There's still quite a few side quests I can do first though. 

The game is quite a disappointment.  The story is weak, there is little character development, and almost no continuity from the previous game.  General lack of content. Some of the new characters seem very interesting, but you don't really get a chance to interact with them.  Big step down in quality from DA, and almost the same price.  Luckily I only paid $20, but it still feels too much.

I didnt' get as far in as you (yet) but overall so far I agree. I am especially disappointed at the lack of continuity. Where the hell is my dog?  :yuk:

I thought it was generally a bad idea to have the Darkspawn talk.  I thought what was cool about them was that you really didn't know why they did what they did.  Other people had theories of where they came from and what their goals were but they themselves were notably quiet about it.

Their word usage kinda reminds me of Shale or something. Just very weird.

Am I the only one who thinks it would have been nice to see the Dark Spawn go shoo shoo and deal with a different threat this time?


With this game its always darkspawn this, darkspawn that. Enough!

I forgot how much I paid for it.  You to kill more darkspawn which is always fun.

Finished it.  Oh well.


I take it it should have been a pass?  Pity as I loved that game.  Perhaps the next full fledged title in the series.

Meanwhile I'm tryiing to muster some sort of enthousiasm to return to LotRO...

So is it: worth paying for?

At $40, no

Quote from: GrallonPerhaps the next full fledged title in the series.

I'm not that hopeful, they seem to be moving in the direction of a lighter type of game and pooping out lots of rushed addons

Yeah, it started with Mass Effect 2, now they seem to dumb down all their games.  Oh well.  I'll wait for when it's at 10$.

My friend and I are considering giving it a go. If we do maybe you can be our sugar daddy.

Well, it's good for what it is.  Unfortunately, it's got a lot of surface, and precious little depth.  There is effectively no pacing.

The add tons of new weapons and balance the game so its not super easy and have each quest not take place in a generic cookie cutter area and suddenly its dumbed down?  Sometimes I wonder if the ME2 hating tards actually played ME1.
