    Haha, sure but how long did you use dog? (Aside: Dog naaaaames! I have had Barksley, Cuddles, Big Jake and Binston.)

    There was a mod that let you take him along as a pet.

    Ah. The only mod I tried was the thing with the magic abilities reset crow? Which was super but also meh because I knew I was really just cheating.

    Or I would have named him that if there had been enough space. WoofsworthPuppington had to do.

    I think naming dog was actually more fun than creating a character. I'm not so disappointed about the Hawke thing for DA2.

    Tactics were good for handling Healing, but most of the time you're better off doing shit manually. Particularly with Warriors and Rogues. They don't really have enough stamina to make automation that useful, since they'll only get a handful of abilities off per-fight.

    Agreed. I played through with as a rogue twice and tactics had no real benefit. Rogues need to be... er... finessed!

    Tactics wasn't very useful for mages mid-way through the game since there was no effective way to program AoE attacks. If you're using tactics to just blast one-off spells, fine... but what a waste of juice!

    Though I also agree that tactics was useful for managing healing. So it's not all bad. It's just not the holy grail it's made out to be.

    Tactics were absolutely perfect for Dog though,

    Dog is actually pretty solid. He totally tanked a dragon for me once after Alistair bit the dust. Good times.

    Maybe I still need to spend more time with her, but so far it feels like Verana is Bioware's attempt to outdo Morrigan as the biggest douchebag female mage in the game.

    At least Nathanial gets some extra points in awesome for his rhetoric on her.

    I usually call my dog Fen'Harel.

    But if we get to name our dog in DA2, I think I'll go with a different name. Though I don't know what name.

    What a pointless, snarky article. Goddamn it, Kotaku.

    I wouldn't worry too much either way. As far as I can tell, the most significant change as far as complexity goes is the inventory system, and it remains to be seen how well it works.

    How will it work more poorly when it's pretty much exactly the same inventory screen with different icons and a black background?

    I meant the party inventory system. You can't customize everyone to the same degree that you could in the first game.

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    Isabela is the only one with huge boobs. One of the good things about the lack of armor for companions is that they can all have unique body shapes and sizes.

    So far, Isabela is the only one who has been established as Sex On Two Legs, as far as I know, which makes perfect sense, considering her role in DA:O. I've heard rumors that other characters get that treatment when Varric is... exaggerating, though.

    I thought we couldn't use DirectX11 in the demo?
