Dragon Age 2

Well mage champion armor is worthless... so... prolly anything is an upgrade over that

[Elcura]

It's worth it to not look like a total idiot.

[Katlan]

well aside that... that was the only reason i wore it

[Insanecyclone]

And DA2 was taken off of steam because of problems with Legacy, buying from their store in-game and not steam. Seems fishy because Bioshock 2 and some others let you buy dlc from gfwl and not steam.

Decided to play this once more to at least finish up the platinum.
1 thing I never managed to figure out;
+ Physical Damage and + attack. What's the difference and what is better?

[Katlan]

attack is just hit% i think.. its been a while, while physical dmg % is well, physical dmg modifiers.

Hit% would be more important if special atks/spells could miss, but only auto/basic atk stuff can miss. It's why mage champion armor is so shitty because its all +atk

[Souj]

And I still get a laugh out of:
Hands the guy the skeletal remains of Sister Plinth
"did you misplace this?"
*calm voice:"Oh thank you, I've been looking everywhere for that."


and terrific. Game's already glitched out on me and now it's pointless to continue playing.
Was doing Isabella's 1st quest Fools Rush In. I'm supposed to enter the Chantry. The chantry door is marked with the quest marker and Isabella is standing right by it, but I can't talk to, or target her or the door.
Huzzah waste of time.

Thank god.. I have an autosave only 10min back.

Attack is +hit. Different level mobs will need more/less attack, bosses needing the most. Attack becomes sort of useless for rogues after a certain level, your Dex will be high enough cover it for you (you can check in the attribute menu, when you highlight dex it should show your attack vs. normal/middle/boss mobs. The more hit you have, the less chance you have of doing a glancing blow, which is only x% of full damage (cant remember exactly how much x is, but it will say it in the attack tool tip on the attribute menu)

+ physical, does more physical. Sounds straight forward, but take note, this will not effect elemental weapons, which more often than not will produce better damage, even when they have a lower Damage/dps (within reason, a 40 damage physical will out perform a 20 ele...). This is because armor will soak physical damage, but not magical/elemental. BUT (big but...), it is always good to keep a back up weapon when using elemental weapons in case you run into resistances.

An additional advantage to ele weapons is, on nightmare, if you rune-up your party with the ele-ward rune that matches the ele damage of your Warriors weapon, your Warrior will be able to use its weapon skills without killing the people around him.

Is there a cap on attack speed/crit damage/crit rate, to the point where it becomes pointless to have anymore?

also; did the new dlc drop anymore hints about Sandle and/or Flemeth?

[Vagrant]

Not sure about the first bit but nothing in the DLC about Sandal or Flemeth. It deals with Hawke's father primarily and a bit with the Grey Wardens and the Tevinter.

Yes, 50%/no/100% obviously.

[Souj]

You say obviously, but I feel really stupid right now lol. completely went over my head for some reason.

follow-up question; Lets say I don't need to worry about crit rate anymore(I'm not capped yet, but with my abilities, it a non-issue). Would the base damage from Dexterity or the crit damage from Cunning be better on a point by point basis?

I'm going to reply with a maybe (so take it with a grain of salt!). When you reach the point where you're only getting a dps boost every, I think, 2 DEX points I switched from 2DEX/1CUN every level to 2CUN/1 DEX. Since you're getting diminishing returns on DPS from DEX, and are capped on crit rate, it seemed like the right thing to do seeing as crit. damage has no cap. That is what I did at any rate.

Finally finished the up the platinum.
Stupid Supplier trophy!
Though oddly enough, I got the trophy without getting the Dragon's Blood from the High Dragon, the last one I needed.

There's an extra elfroot or spindleweed somewhere that counts for it. Plus, I found an extra item in the Emporium that supposedly counts since the last patch as well. I remember when I got the trophy I had everything but the resource you get from Merril's quest.

[Katlan]

Yeah when I got supplier I never did Fenrir's quest. In fact, I never did his main quest period even when he was max rivalry and I gave him all his items. But since the Emporium had his item it gave me what I needed

[Souj]

New DA2 DLC apparently.
I might care once I'm done with Dark Souls
and Uncharted 3
and Batman Arkham City

I noticed that something was up about it on XBL last night. I guess it's a crossover of Felecia Day's character from the web series or something.

[Tyrath]

I haven't even finished the last one yet :/

Did anyone end up playing this? Mark of the Assassin? I was going to give it a try, but noticed it got zero discussion here.
