Dragon Sage II: A Lizard did it. PS3 Patch?

Abracadaniel

Beat it with my first run with Lady Hawke the Mage

Excellent ending.

Spoiler:

I totally saw Anders' crazy terrorist act coming. After it happened, fucking knifed his dumb ass. Sorry lover boy, being a crazed extremist is not the way into my heart. Between him and my fling with Isabella I just can't pick a lifemate (I'm secretly saving myself for Varric)

Anosognos

I, too, enjoyed the ending greatly.

Spoiler:

I was annoyed by Anders the entire game. In Awakening, he was comedy relief. In DA2, he was a sulky, antagonistic douche to everyone, save Varric and, occasionally, Hawke.

All that said, I actually felt pretty sorry for him when I knifed him. Sure, he was a terrorist. He was also revolutionary with an (ultimately) just cause he believed in and no one on his side. Mainly, he just looked so unhappy right up until the spark left his eyes. The scene was extremely well done, in any event.

Spoiler:

I don't think his cause was just. Maybe if he just wanted to free all Mages. But it didn't end there. He also wanted to kill all Templars who confined them. That's what "Justice" was to him.

A duck!

Just beat the game:

Spoiler:

Saved the mages, had Fenris turn on me. He lasted exactly as long as it took me to hit Mark of Death and Assassinate. Poor, poor gibbed Fenris. Lost Isabela halfway through the game, although apparently I ended up with her post-game even though I slept with Merrill. Can't figure that one out.

Virgil_Leads_You

I heard that it was a bug if you date her up before pursuing that romance.

It's a known epilogue bug.

Spoiler:

I don't think he planned to wipe out the templars.

He just wanted to wipe out their main office, and throw their ranks into chaos.

Which, to be fair, was at least partially motivated by a knight commander who was off her nut.

Compare things to the way at the Ferelden Circle, wherein Gregoir only called upon the Rite of Annulment when he thought all the living mages had become abominations, as opposed to Meredeth who wanted to have them all killed purely out of retribution for the actions of a mage not even part of the circle.

Spoiler:

It was surprisingly easy for me to get him to come back to my side after I brought up his feelings about slavery.

He responded to it like Gabe Newell seems to respond to any question.

Abracadaniel

Will there be pie?

Spoiler:

(actually yeah I felt pretty good I was able to get him to rejoin, my encounter with his sister didn't go so great)

Weaver

This was my mage that I had to scrap because shit went all buggy in act 2

Spoiler:

So I made a warrior and decided to make her look less girly, more tough lady

Spoiler:

Weaver

Also was weird, my Carver ended up looking like he was straight out of Genghis Khans army and Bethany looks mixed Asian.

Macro9

Carver must have something in his nose in that first picture.

Abracadaniel

Gonna do a dude rogue my next run

gotta get all those books

and there's some quest involving a possession?

Spoiler:

I'm guessing maybe that's related to the quest back in DA:O where you have to figure out what to do with that possessed kid?

Weaver

Maybe that's how

Spoiler:

He got the taint. Snorted some darkspawn blood in the heat of battle.

Weaver

That 2nd pic, it's like

"My dear Viscount, there are some ladies here to see you."

"Ladies! Really? *pokes head out door* Oh god they've come for my head hide me"

Oghulk

That's some pretty rad armor in the second pic, what is it?

Goatmon

Hey Weaver, that's a cool-looking Lady Hawke.

Armor of the Wall

Abracadaniel

warriors get all the cool gear

though the Champion's Gear is pretty sweet for a mage.

Champion's Gear is all "I'm an apostate and I don't give a fuck"

captaink

I beat the high dragon in 1 try on normal. I didn't even know it was coming up but I lucked into having a party with Anders. He was fuckin' MVP with his healing mode. It still took all my healing potions and several restoration/elfroot ones though.

Abracadaniel

yeah that was a challenge

thankfully my dog loves being a tank

Weaver

I'm playing this warrior lady as picking mostly the stern, asshole convo choices and man she will straight up tell a fool where to shove it

A duck!

My Rogue's Shadow tanked the hell out of that thing. Definitely one of the best powers you can pick up.

I also had no idea it was coming. I was just walking toward a quest marker and then WHOOSH. Dragon flies over head.

captaink

Fenris kinda tanked it. He was spitting fireballs all over though. Which was kind of good, since it let me use Anders' heal everyone spell.

Javen

The only one I couldn't get back was

Spoiler:

Sebastian, he did NOT take well to me letting Anders live. Which I'm starting to think he had the right idea.

Weaver

Am I the only person who doesn't have Sebastian?

Owlbat

I don't have Sebastian.

Oghulk

I don't either. Probably gonna get it along with the Ass:Bro DLC that just came out though.

Weaver

I just don't see how another rogue would help me out at all

Abracadaniel

His quest line is pretty cool

It has blowjobs

Partywise, he doesn't. He's the same as varric, except worse.

Weaver

goddamnit

my chair just snagged my headphone cable and ruined my headset

good bye voicechatting in multiplayer for a while

Virgil_Leads_You

He's an interesting plot generator.
Also

USE THE FEATHER

SwissLion

Just started my second run as a Two-Hander warrior

What should I be looking for stat and ability-wise if I want to tank most of the time?

captaink

Everything will help a little, except maybe dexterity.

The blood of your enemies.

Drink it.

Owenashi

Sebastian's not so bad. He's got his own versions of the Decoy skill from the Shadow tree and Unforgiving Chain/Explosive Strike from the Dual Weapon tree.
