To the surprise of no one this is coming out.

Ugh great, I'm having enough problems with Origins, now there's another full game on the way??

I just started Redcliffe and I've really liked the game so far.

I like it, but god damn it's hard.

DAMN YOU BIOWARE!

but the ending is amazing.
Awakening's length was depressing, because it's only about 4 hours long.
What was really great about it was you could be a total evil bastard and still have allies.

The First first Darkspawn emissary in the wilds caught me by surprise. And how could I forget the Tree people from another quest...should have seen that coming.

There were quite a few fights I had real trouble with.

Hell I couldn't get into Orzammar until near the end because the mercenaries guarding it would always kill me with ease.

The werewolves were piss easy though.

Once I upgraded to Stone Wall they werent to much of a problem.

My friend says the first is the best game ever, yet he says mass effect is gay......


I didn't like the melee combat in the first, always had to lock on, it was very annoying. I never got far into it though.

It's basically the same system KOTOR used.

I don't get how Dragonlings and Drakes can be piss easy, but a High Dragon is such a bitch

Same

Though the Archdemon makes a high dragon look like a kitten.

Luckily he's fairly weak against spirit attacks I believe.

And repeated Ballistas to the face.

Wish those same Ballistas could be used on Flemeth

Same but my warrior just cut her legs up while my mages shot her with fireballs.

It was annoying because she just kept spamming the front sweep attack so my warrior couldn't connect with anything.

Yeah I just did a standard attack, got knocked back healed and repeat.

I don't think I have enough quick heals to keep that up...

Origins was really fun. Although it got too easy once you had your team down. Still amazing story.
For those of you having trouble I typically used:
Main Character(Warrior in Blood Dragon armor>Dual Wield+ Keening Blade&Starfang)
Oghren(LEgion of the dead armor + Summer sword)
Alistair(Warden Commander's armor + Duncan's longsword)
Wynne (Wintersbreath + all healing tactic slots & high stamina)
You don't really need offensive magic which is why I have 3 tanking characters with a hardcore healing one. I beat Nightmare like 4 times with this.

Dragon Age 2 is now one of my most wanted games.

First real look at the combat.

I have to say, they have an interesting idea going on here.

what? real time or pause and play? just like kotor? (admittedly KOTOR was still a turnbased realtime but eh...)
