I'm mad at Anders because if he wanted to have a catastrophic downward spiral that destroys him as a person and commit wizard 9/11 then fine, but why did he have to drag my boy Justice down with him

Also Knight Enchanter is already cool

It was way cooler at launch when you could spam the sword and it did more damage :colbert:

Wait it used to be even more busted good than it currently is? My only complaint about Knight-Enchanter is that you don't get to wear heavy armour like a DAO Arcane Warrior.

rear end in a top hat idiot Thorton with a shotgun knocking enemies down and stomping on their face is a completely different game from professional Thorton with a pistol tranquilizing them from the shadows and it's that kind of variety that makes AP so good

I hadn't seen Archer last time I played alpha protocol but the fact that you can tranq Darcy in the dick while he's trying to beat your score is very Archer.

At launch KE didn't really play anything like the other mages - like you could, sure, but the point of the subclass was spamming the giant aoe mindsword that did assloads of damage and regenerated your barrier on every hit, making you functionally immortal as long as there was something to smack

For some reason bioware decided to have the cool unique melee aoe subclass play like the other ones instead and a few patches in they changed how ke's sword worked so it wasn't spammable anymore, making ke play like a worse rift mage. They might have done further revisions but that annoyed me enough that I never went back and played trespasser or whatever it was called.

What did you say the strategy was?

vyelkin posted:

yeah absolutely, especially considering the boss fights are the worst part of the game. Play it like a stealth game and a dialogue game and use the incredibly OP pistol skills to beat the combat parts that force you out of stealth, and you'll have a great time.

everything about the fight with brayko except the actual combat itself rules so hard

Its a shame that fight is the reason you cant buy Alpha Protocol digitally anymore because Sega didnt want to renew the license on Turn Up The Radio

they should definitely patch it with some royalty-free disco music and have brayko shout a spotify url before combat

this is true and fits the general theme of the game which is that everything rules except the actual gameplay

Inquisition was good as long as you installed some quality of life mods.
Was that the expansion with the gay wizard who kept a kitten in his robes? Because that had to be the most wonderful surprise I've had in a game.

Edit, no that was dragon age origins awakening.

The character Anders is a gay wizard. You can find a stray kitten in the game and give it to Anders. He names it Ser Pounce-a-lot.

Yeah, and I think the cat either worked as a healing item, or gave a buff to healing spells. Been a long time, but that stands out like being able to use jokes and friendliness as combat in renowned explorers.

The only thing I really remember about DA:I was the one time I took Sera along she pestered Cassandra to say the Inquisition motto and then when Cassandra sighed and said "Into darkness, unafraid," Sera finished it by saying "Around the corner fudge is made."

Still wasn't worth keeping her around.

Can’t speak to the first one but nothing will fix knight enchanters unless you want to play DA1. That class was stupid OP anyway and made the game not very fun.

I had Sera in my party for like an hour and I ended up telling her to just loving leave, for good. Which she did! Do not regret it or wonder what content I might have missed; nothing could be worth tolerating her.

I appreciate when games let you do that.

I have no idea what BioWare intended with Sera. they’ve made plenty of characters I dislike but she’s the only one whose purpose is totally inscrutable
