Re: Dragon Age 2

Personally I wasn't real enamored with the first one either, but I'm liking the second much better. I didn't like the demo either, it was kind of blah and things I found really annoying in the demo I'm finding easy to ignore in the main game.

I'm already feeling more connected and involved in the story than I ever was with the first game and I've barely started.

Ahh cool man. So I just might have to get it.

Re: Dragon Age 2

So one thing, and I'm not sure if this is a glitch or I just can't do the quest yet, but I seem to be having some trouble finding certain quests.

For example, one that involves the Sundermount area:

Spoiler

I think it's called "The Way Home" or "The Path Back Home" not sure, but it's where you're supposed to have Aveline in your party to help uncover an ambush on the Sundermount path. Yet when I go there, nothing happens. I've searched all Sundermount areas and still nothing. What am I doing wrong?

Hmm I can't remember if that was a daytime or night time mission. But anyway make sure you pay attention to the on screen HUD. It always have the area you suppose to go to marked on there.

I just finished that quest. When I selected the area it showed the quest name. I also checked the map and it shows where the quest is. I think the areas outside of Kirkwell are not affected by day and night.

Re: Dragon Age 2

Is there any way to access all your party members and equip stuff? Or are the three you're with the only accessible ones?

I liked how in DA:O you just go to camp, level everyone up, change their gear, and then move on. Any way to do that here?

Re: Dragon Age 2

Yeah.....some buildings right before you go out the door to the outside, right next to it will be a stand with some flags on it. Walk up to it, it will say gather your party and go forth. You can select your party right there.

OR

Just go home and leave. Everytime you leave your house it gives you the option to choose your party too.

If you just want to level up or change gear, pause the game. Top option will be level up when you have somebody to level up. If you have nobody to level up, then the top option will be character.

There you can change gear and tactics for everybody in your selected party.

You can change their weapons and accessories and that's about it. It's like ME2 in that aspect.

That's one thing I'm missing so far. I loved having the camp aspect in the first game because it was so easy to go an talk to everyone and to look at everyones stats and gear. It's annoying to have to switch through different party members just to unequip a weapon from them and give it to someone else.

On the travel map, a little yellow letter will appear next to your home icon if you have letters.

Re: Dragon Age 2

Spoiler

Fenris.......a two handed elf Tevintator warrior. This elf has to be the baddest elf alive. His power is off the chain !

Haven't found him yet. One of my few complaints about the game is that by choosing a Rogue I find my party Tank light. I only have Aveline so far. Tons of mages and rogues though.

Re: Dragon Age 2

Yeah Avelline is kind of weak, you have to spend a lot of coin to upgrade her weak as hell gear. That dude I found in my spoiler by far makes the best tank.

Isabella makes a pretty good tank too once you give her much better daggers. I am a rogue myself and therefore I like to bring the pain.

I find it best to have 2 ranged people and 2 head on attackers in your party. Gives you a much better fighting chance.
