Yeah, the invisible enemies popping in from the fucking ether or something is definitely one of the most annoying bits of this. Sucks not having a sense ahead of time of how much you'll be facing each encounter (and given how huge cooldowns are and how fast you go through mana/stamina, not being able to plan ahead really does get annoying).

They could've just kept kind of a "theme" for each character. Could've kept Isabellas skankiness but change a color of the headband/shirt/add some strings/etc.

Fenris: "I suppose a lyrium tattoo of breasts on my chest would make things better"
oh Isabella, you make every character say the craziest stuff.

[Cichy]

Pretty sure she implied she wanted to get fisted in one of those convos with him, cuz of his crazy hand tricks

In act 2...

Is there any good reason not to hand Feynriel over to the sloth demon?
6 Attribute Points or 1 Talent point is a pretty awesome quest reward. Do you get anything equivalent/better from any of his later quests if you save him instead?

The only reason not to turn him over is just rep with other characters, iirc the quest line ends here anyways and there isn't any substantial reward or equipment you'll receive from it either. If you don't care about rep with others (I think uh anders, merrill, probably aveline? def anders I can't remember anyone else lol) etc just turn him over.

[Eticket]

lol Awesome.

[Kyo]

Hahaha

[Vagrant]

Sandal is a tad ominous anytime he has something to say it seems. He's also said something to me about a scary old lady with an evil laugh standing over his bed.

[Odesseiron]

Started a new game. Holy shit, Fenris is 100x better as a tank than Aveline, even with a 2h weapon. He can take a ton of abuse and dish it out. He's pretty OP.

[Eanae]

I'm debating buying DA:O since I never played it all the way through. Is it going to feel too slow paced if I buy it now and play it after playing DA2?

[TacoTaru]

Depends really. If you use money exploits then it will be slower, but it won't be feel like much (because you'll tear through everything). If you play it without money exploits, then you will definitely find it to be slower, much more party involved than 2 where you can just idle on your main character 99% of the time.

[Eanae]

I don't mean story wise, I mean combat/gameplay wise.

[Souj]

that's exactly what he was talking about too.

[Eanae]

Sorry I misread, thought it was about game length. Hm, maybe I'll pick it up again after this second play through.

[Hitoru]

Ran head-first into this...

High Dragon Fight. At first it was a bitch but I just switched Anders from supporter to healer and Varric from controller to Scrapper and controlled Aveline for the most part only taking over on my warrior Hawke during little dragon phases. Ended up doing it one shot and I wish I had a rogue to use that bow, haha.

[TacoTaru]

How exactly do stats compare to each other? I'm always confused on what to choose between things like 50Attack, 5%Crit Dmg/3% Phys Dmg, or 45 Attack 4% Phys Dmg (or anything relatively similar).

[BadKarma]

Hes a fucked up little monster isn't he?

[Souj]

Hes a fucked up little monster isn't he?

Now imagine him standing at the foot of your bed, staring at you as you sleep. In a deep, solemn voice he vows he will do horrible, horrible things to you and all you love.
You wake up and ask him what he's doing...

Enchantment?
