    I think this thread is the only place I've seen with people who like DA2 more than DAO

    Not that I think DA2 is bad, just that I'm sure the universal opinion is that DAO was better

    In replaying ME1, I either forgot, or just never noticed that sometimes choosing either the Paragon or Renegade dialog choice is the asshole choice, with neutral being the reasonable choice. I find myself choosing renegade more often than previously. If I'm going to be an asshole, I might as well be doing it on purpose.

    That's been my general position.

    Although I did go with the neutral option on Grunt's loyalty.

    "If I know Grunt, the answer's coming at muzzle velocity." is the only option that doesn't feel condescending to one of the top three murder turtles in the setting.

    Well ME2 is a different kettle of fish. I can mostly do Paragon there with sprinkles of Renegade and it works out to be the Shepard I want. Though yeah, my choices are skewed as far as Grunt is concerned, because certain answers are just too perfect to not use.

    When I'm not being facetious, I would actually rank them about the same, but for different reasons. And where I feel DA:O is a deliberate attempt to evoke the isometric party-based RPGs of yesteryear, DA2 takes that model and attempts to bring it somewhere interesting.

    Both are flawed, both have good bits to them.

    this is actually why it always bugs me that people hack primes

    they stay hacked for no longer than it takes to beat up their drone/turret

    hack a pyro, guy

    that will actually do us some good

    Yeah, hacked pyros and rocket launchers do some good (especially pyros).

    Hacking primes is good for letting us get potshots in without having to duck into cover while it fires off a three round burst.

    Al_watAl_wat Registered User regular
    yeah hacking primes just makes it easier to kill them

    I'm not really that critical of it

    I mean sometimes there is only one target in view, and its a prime

    so its the thing that gets hacked

    I just hate it when I try to hack an Atlas and it either continues to attack me and my teammates anyway, or it just doesn't affect it at all.

    Although it is great when it works when you have two atlases coming at you and you hack the one in the back. The guy in front just starts to get shot at, just yelling "Dude! Dude! What the fuck are you doing!"

    I tried the DA2 demo and found it didn't make me want to buy the game at all. I found Hawk's VA really off-putting.

    DA:O I kind of loved but got like 1/3 through and have yet to complete it. I keep telling myself I will pick it up again one day and finish it.

    Maybe after I've played just one more time through the Mass Effect trilogy.

    You have a moral duty to sing the Have Gun Will Travel theme song whenever you use that in multiplayer. I hope you understand that.

    DA:2 was better. It was a shitton more fun to play.
