I almost avoided combat entirely. If better AI had been implemented, I think they could have had a fun semi-stealth section. If you felt the whole adventure was hack & slash, I might have to suggest that some of that is your own fault.<br /><br />As for the predictable plot, wasn't that part of the point? It would be like going in to watch the movie 'Titanic' and complaining that you knew the boat was going to sink. You know what is going to happen between Leliana and her mentor because you find out in Origins, but it is the experience of finding out how events unfolded and the spectacle of their presentation that I felt made it enjoyable.AmstradHerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313267316109911061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229618075021986600.post-56094292814734449552010-12-23T19:58:26.105+11:002010-12-23T19:58:26.105+11:00I can't understand why people say that "l...I can't understand why people say that "lelianas song" was any good. It was a simple killing spree but not as enjoyable as "darkspawn chronicles". I liked leliana ingame but the bard in DAO is not a bard at all, you get some buffs but you are still a killer.<br />The ad said something about intrigues and the game of nobles or something but what you do is kill people, rob them and then you are betrayed, oh how unpredictable... Sorry it was one of things that made me buy the ulimate edition but i'm really disappointed.<br /><br />As for Shale, i couldn't imagine playing without "her".Apolyon6knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229618075021986600.post-91037360300889935732010-10-03T16:22:58.615+11:002010-10-03T16:22:58.615+11:00When RtO was first announced, I was excited - Dunc...When RtO was first announced, I was excited - Duncan's and Cailan's deaths were to be explored more, perhaps even something tied to their pasts would be revealed giving the player more insight into their characters. Didn't work and I haven't bought a DLC after that, preferring to wait for reviews. None of them have been really favorable - except for Leliana's Song.<br />There are so many things in the DA world that they could have used - I don't know why this fixation on the companions' stories. Even then, Sten would have seemed a logical choice to showcase something different and give us more Qunari lore.Timelordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321101433526313469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229618075021986600.post-23820918005105182202010-10-03T10:26:50.339+11:002010-10-03T10:26:50.339+11:00I miss nwn1 premium modules.

Am I too predictable or something? I am going to look at ME2's DLC and examine the things it delivered that DAO's DLC didn't.AmstradHerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313267316109911061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229618075021986600.post-47151478444163155762010-10-03T08:21:36.557+11:002010-10-03T08:21:36.557+11:00Anecdotally, Mass Effect DLC has been much better ...Anecdotally, Mass Effect DLC has been much better received by folks on the forums I frequent. Certainly Witch Hunt seemed to compare poorly to the apparently superb Shadow Broker. I usually use this as an opportunity to say "you should try Dragon Age mods, they're infinitely better value for money than DLC!" ;) <br /><br />I've played most of the DLC up to Leliana - my copy bugged out and delivered me FemJaden in place of Leli, and I haven't got around to fixing it yet.Jye Nicolsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005040036768796965noreply@blogger.com
