Dude, ix-nay on the oice-vay.
I like how Dorian's all, "You're ruining the finish on that table!" And Varric's all,"Smell my finger."

What are you guys playing to make the loving wait less horrible?
I just discovered Dragon Age three months ago when I decided to play my unopened secondhand copy of Origins before throwing away my Xbox after not playing games for over a year. DAO definitely turned that around!

Enjoyed it so much that I picked up the Mass Effect trilogy for $30 (which, as a loyal Edmontonian and Rapid Fire Theatre fan, I should have done anyway) and am currently enjoying the hell out of the first game, even though I cannot hit the broad side of a space barn with my fancy pistol. Thank God I picked Vanguard and can force punch evil robots as well. I also appreciate this game has not one, but TWO kinds of zombies (SO FAR!).

I just defeated a very slow-moving mind-controlling space turnip and a blue lady fell out of it. Cool!

I think so. He has kinda the same face and is on equal height with Cassandra, so pretty small.


Also, am I the only one who thinks Dorian is based on Oberyn from Game of Thrones? :aaa: I just realised it but they look so similar. Not only that, the information that's been given about him also has alot of similarities with Oberyn, I like it.

The stache wouldn't be too bad on its own but combined with the hipster-jugend hairstyle it makes him look like an insufferable douche.

I wonder if his DLC outfit will be black-rimmed specs and a dronecore t-shirt.

Got asked two pages ago homie. Answers: Dragon Age 1, Mass Effect 1-3, The Witcher, Fallout, Call of Duty (a joke?? Idk), and some game I've never heard of called Drakensang.

Personally I don't play games, I just post about them.

Decided 'gently caress it' and am playing through Origins again.

it's alright. Playing a rogue instead of my normal mage. it's alright. it's nice not having to have Lielana or Zevran if I want to unlock random poo poo. God what terrible characters.

Alternating between Shale, Wynn and Alister. That may change when I finally get past the Unite the three races questline.

Edit: (shale, wynn, alister) and Morrigan - she's pretty good as a mage.

From a few pages ago, but there's a mod which gives warriors and mages the option to open locked chests, too. I forget what it's called but it's on the nexus and it gives you a bash attack which you can use to open chests if you have enough strength, magic, or dexterity (in case you're a rogue but don't feel like investing into cunning for some reason). I like it because it doesn't force you to put a rogue in your party if you don't want one. Plus, bashing open chests as a warrior is a bit more satisfying than just clicking on them with a rogue. Really makes you feel like you're "looting" something.

My last run of DAO I consoled my warrior all the rogue talents, and I added a bunch of the spells you can cast without sheathing your weapon. It's stupid fun.

Dorian doesn't know what to be more concerned about : the drink about to tip over or his transformation into Sjin from the Yogscast.

I don't know. I think the Inquisitor slammed the sword into the table so he had something to grab on to as he took his massive poo poo. Dude has the face of someone passing Elvis through his rectum. Dorian is reacting to the size of it while Cassandra and Varrik are casting blame for that spicing, greasy lunch that lead to this situation.

It's alright for that "my character is now extremely over powered" feeling, but it's a rather buggy mess. It's short by Bioware standards at the very least.

Didn't know you could do that. That's awesome!

Can you give Mage spells to Warriors too, or do those spells require staves to cast?

Specifically Hyrule Warriors at the moment.

Gotta say, I'm liking the breadth of choices you can govern through the keep, I was even able to put my rear end in a top hat rogue noble on the throne and sacrifice that whiny bitch Alistair to the defeat of the archdemon so my Warden could bag the queen himself, when in my playthroughs I never actually managed to get a character into that situation. I also like the ability to save multiple worldstates and share them (well, when it's working).




This is my favourite piece of concept art ever.

I'm trying to download Elite: Dangerous on a hilariously slow (~90KB/s) connection right now, so I'm not watching, but are we talking Skyrim Nexus levels of pelvis-dislocating hipsway?


edit: As for what I'm playing to pass the time between now and Inquisition time, a bit of Nosgoth, King of Fighters 13, Van Helsing 2, Shadow of Mordor and as with the poster above, I recently acquired Crusader Kings II. Also my Iceni campaign in Rome 2 needs attention.

quote:

When directly controlling a character (ie not in tactical cam mode):

-Hold controller trigger to continuously "auto"-attack, tap to do a single attack (or repeatedly tap, which does the same thing as hold)

-Hold 'R' (rebindable) or hold left click to continuously "auto"-attack, tap to do a single attack (or repeatedly tap, which does the same thing as hold)

Not pressing/holding attack button/key when directly controlling a character will cause them not to attack.


In tactical cam mode you're basically assigning orders, so all party members will autoattack while in tac-cam.

It sounds more and more like tactical mode is a dumbed down version of real time mode.
