Finished.

Started a revolution with my gay lover and killed a lot of religious folk.  :cool:

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

GAMEPLAY
- In many fights, enemies now move less quickly at the start of combat. This slower initial pace makes tactical positioning more useful and important.

:lol:  I was avoiding this after the mediocre reviews, but the last few pages have piqued my interest again, and I may need to track ti down at some point.

:D

Me too.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

It's okay. I'd rather have you on my team than a Marti. :hug:

Well. I've been playing it for a few days, and while it doesn't have the same good feel as the first, it's still an acceptable title. Feels a bit too linear though, and you weren't kidding about the lack of maps.

"Let's just close a door here and open another there, no one will notice it's the same map for the umpteenth time."

The one really big criticism I have thus far though is the behaviour of Anders (murdering an innocent mage right in front of you) where it just happens and isn't mentioned again. I would've figured at the time that it would at least give me the option to exorcise his demons and throw him off a cliff, but nothing. Almost a game-breaker.

Sure, I've been murdering my way through the kingdom and killed a lot of people who strictly were just simple footpads or con men, but most of the time they're striking first.

Not good.

Huh, my Hawke just talked him out of it. And trust me when I say that at a specific moment in the game you can be very sharp towards Anders for his actions..... :ph34r:

I tried, but it didn't take. He stabbed her right through the heart. And then it's just not mentioned again. Even in the scene after where he's busy sorting stuff I was anticipating some consequence but not even a hint. Really bad writing on that one.

I hope I get to kill him. That action really didn't sit well with me.

Battle my way through a fucking dungeon, spend an hour with the very hairy battle with the Templars (must've gone through it 6 times before I finally started pausing every time an action was possible and detail-control all 4 characters - only battle I've had to do that in so far, on hard difficulty) and the fucker KILLS the bitch we were trying to save. UNACCEPTABLE.

BFD. We had The Incident on Languish and no one ever talks about it, we just pretend it never happened.
