Re: Dragon Age 2

The patch is out and as it fixed a lot of issues, I guess some of the broken quests are still there. I was able to beat the game without any real issues but it sounds like it's not entirely fixed and another patch is in the works.

Really frustrating that Bioware seemed to have rushed this. I'm holding off on a second playthrough until the next patch I think. Currently playing through the Dragon Age: Origins while I'm waiting.

Re: Dragon Age 2

I finally finished Act 1 and beat Rock Wraith last night second time thru.Helped to give Varric 90% lightning protection and Unshakable with Hawke. Rune protection helped as well. Now for the rest of the game.

Re: Dragon Age 2

I've had this game since launch but haven't had a chance to play it. Started tonight. I'm giving myself the long weekend to smash it out.

My timestamps are semi-fixed; the hour is still wrong.

Re: Dragon Age 2

Just finished the Deep Roads expedition finally

Spoiler

I feel like a dick for not bringing Bethany with me to the Deep Roads

Just finished it myself

Spoiler

I don't feel too bad. I barely survived that Wraith fight at the end though, just had Varric left and no health! I'm a little disappointed that I have returned with money and a mansion. Last game I was fighting tooth and nail against the dark spawn and now I'm wearing a Hugh Hefner jacket. Only thing missing was the pipe.

Re: Dragon Age 2

Just finished at 37 hours.

Spoiler

I share the feeling that many others had which is this game just isn't anywhere near as **** storywise as Origins, ending included. The last few boss fights were crazy, although I had to cheese a few with just Aveline alive. My main party consisted of my rogue, Aveline as tank, Anders as healer (until I killed him), and Fentis.

In the June (I think) issue of Gamer (Best Buy's video game magazine) they have coupons for games. One is 20 bucks off DA2, combine with their sale dropping it to 35 bucks it makes it cheap.

I had to buy the mag for 5 bucks, but still saved me money.

Having a blast with the game, glad I picked it up!
