I surely hope the launch goes well. Until then I'll be playing random strategy games.In another couple months this board should be booming. Just like the 'good ole days"

I haven't played much lately. I've played The Walking Dead Season 2, and the season finale for it comes out this Tuesday.
I'm also looking forward to Borderlands the Presequel.

Do I have to play Dragon Age 2 in order to follow the story in Inquistion?
You wont recognise like...two characters.
Varric and Cassandra.
Once upon a time there was this Ferelden refugee called Hawke, no one really really knows what they looked like, or if they were male or female, but they ran to Kirkwall and trolled the mages and templars there and returned people's stuff to them that they'd inexplicably lost in ancient dwarven ruins for 6 years. Then they randomly managed to help blow stuff up and now everyone thinks the war is all their fault. Hawke, The Champion of Kirkwall and the greatest troll in Thedas.
The end.
There, now you can follow Inquisition.
Playing Dragon Age 2 doesn't even help to follow the story of Dragon Age 2.
lol, aside from the recycled environments, 3 acts with seemingly unrelated storylines, a horrible version of Anders, and crappy romances with no real involvement .. I really liked Dragon Age 2!

All kidding aside, I really did like Dragon Age 2. I hated Izzy,though and rarely used her in my party. I just couldn't get over how drastically they changed her appearance..lol
The skill trees were much improved upon in DA2.

Agreed. I liked her romance the best.
Probably one of the reasons why I loathed Merrill in DA2

You missed out on some of the best banter then! Isabella and, well, everyone was great. Especially her interactions with Aveline. She was one of my favourites but it was a great bunch of characters. Anders did frustrate me though with how obnoxious he was.
Give her a chance, Angie!
Yeah, the skill trees were much better. If only the combat matched instead of the random waves.

I did use her a bit, I just liked Varric a lot better.

Why did Zevran betrayed me!
Because you're a crappy companion!
You can use them both at the same time! That's a thing that can happen!
Merrill was adorable! How cou-
I do-
A demon summoning blood mage was adorable?
You probably think Chucky was just the cutest.
Me too. It looks like they've got an elven edition of her archetype rolling around in the next installment.
Hopefully, this game's Aveline wont... wont...

I was too distracted by trying to gain Sten's approval.

Yeah, go take a trip to BSN one day and see what it's like or read those confessionals you see posted around.
When new titles drop and we get the floaters in, we get a lot of people asking for more explicit sex scenes and deeper romances not realizing that the cuddling option in ME2 is one of the most awkward gaming experiences I've had in an unmodded game.
Also, I've had an unused image of Isabella with a mustache that I've always wanted to use as an icon.

Like to have lockpicking maxed out.
Isabella and duelist Hawke actually make a great pair. Makes your tank's life easier as they distract heroes and take reduced damage and deal absurd amounts of single target dps making it easy to kill elites.
Also playing roag Hawke means you didn't have Carver around to fall on the wrong side of the line dividing "character with different motives than you" and "sniveling assclown".

Its a rogue build without the archery tree. It ends up so powerful Hawke is basically wielding a machine gun.
The archery tree is probably the worst in the game, as usual for DA titles. It's better to just dip into the utility trees.
Anyone else having that "let's see if the storytelling is as bad as I remember for the 3rd time" urge?
I'm thinking I need to do a run through the whole thing again...
Origins, Awakening & DA II

The recent demo for Inquisition looks nice.
I had forgotten about Dagna. I just want Alistair! Annnnndddddd I think he might come back- if not just for a cameo- because I saw something from Bioware's Twitter page about the guy that does his voice in the studio..
I'm hoping anyway!

Iron Bull will be Zevran's replacement.
I think Bioware just thought "Fine! Screw you. He's dead in Inquisition" after all the fuss over his magical resurrection in DA2
and yet the redhead is back

Leliana's case was much more controversial, lol.
Zev was due to a bug and people got over it. Leliana... not so much.
The maker likes whores, thieves, liars, charlatans and assassins...as long as they're female.
aussie has your E always been rogue?
