    I think my biggest issue with DA having played through it twice (other then some of the fucking dumb bugs), is just how short it is for a long game. Like there really aren't that many sections to the game, just between load screens, cut scenes, and fights taking forever and a day, it takes a long time to play through it.

    The Deep Roads themselves wouldn't be bad except that the combat is terribly boring

    And there is a lot of nothing but combat going on there

    I really liked the combat

    then again, I played as an Arcane Warrior on Casual, so the game was more like laggy diablo

    the deep roads aren't hours long

    maybe three? seriously, drop it down to casual and just motor through if it's that painful

    My favorite part in the game by far was the Fade.

    I was like "HOLY SHIT YES! Man this game is going to be full of awesome and creative moments like this!"

    But nope, that was the only one. Boring combat all the way from there.

    The end of it is pretty awesome

    The Dead Trenches may be one of the coolest bits in the game

    my complaint is less the deep roads than all the pure nonsense that comes before it

    dwarves are such cocks

    DA 2 at least on the box will be more ME then regular da on the pc. Which should help.

    I just hope they add in more finishers, as that was my favorite thing of conan and it was nice to see it partially show up in DA.

    I kind of want to roll Arcane Warrior

    but I don't want to slog through the beginning as a regular shitty mage

    and I can't roll one in Awakenings because then I won't get my Spellweaver

    I try to avoid the G&T DA thread because they are like those dudes who bitched about ME2 "dumbing it down"

    and I'm always afraid I'm going to set off a nerd rage with an innocent comment about how I hope you never need to micromanage anything ever in DA2

    "Nice Guy?"

    I'm guessing you mean the politics thing?

    I don't think there WAS a nice guy. I annoyed my fiancee because I kept running back and forth talking to people forever trying to figure out who was really the "good" choice. I ended up picking the guy who I thought would be a better wartime king even though I was pretty much disgusted with the whole thing.

    well yeah, that's the thing

    the honorable and generally okay guy is a conservative who is fine with the untenable status quo

    and the powergrabbing jerk who had both of his brothers assassinated is the one who is willing to actually try to change things

    I was once walking through the forest and found a pellet with the digested remains of Spider Jerusalem, the Outer Church, and a handful of Mad_Morlock alts.

    Down on one knee, I placed my hand on the ground, looked in the distance knowingly and whispered, "jacob."

    The dwarf society suddenly clicked with me once I got that codex entry that's a classified legislature memorandum saying basically they require this insane caste system because they don't have enough resources to go around and need troops on the front lines. Their whole society is going through this super-slow-motion, millennium-long apocalypse and it's driven them all completely batshit crazy.

    It's dark, dark, dark. But I like that it's not really in-your-face about it, it just seems like "lol weird fantasy culture" until you dig a little deeper and/or roll up a dwarf commoner.
