Has there been a western RPG in the last decade released with a combat system that didn't just flat out lie to the player?Slackbladder said:

Finally, unlock Blood Mage. All it took was 30+ hours. First 2 times tried to get it, was using warrior / rogue. Didn't know you can't get it unless you are a Mage. Now, back to starting new character Rogue with it already unlock. Talk about BS and my copy of MW2 suppose to be here tomorrow from Amazon. And, throughout it all, still have seen superman encounter. Is there a trick to it?

I got it real early in my first playthrough, but havn't seen it yet in my second and I'm a bit over halfway through. Who knows...
My damn dog keeps using all my pots. :lol I get through a fight thinking it went very well only to realize later that the stupid dog used like 9 minor healing kits I have to fix Wynn's tactics, I only recently realized she uses Heal All as her first spell. No wonder the healing is so lackluster, but I can't figure out how to tell her to use it only when more than 1 party member is below 50% or something. And has anyone figured out a way to have her cast rebirth on a fallen comrade? I can't find "unconscious" or whatever they call dying as a status.Zzoram said:

25, but there isn't enough XP in the game to get there without cheating.
Zzoram said:
Also, if you have Morrigan or another mage that has sleep and horror, create a tactic for it that makes them cast sleep on a group of three or more enemies, and then right after that add a tactic for horror on enemies that are sleeping. It's good stuff.
I micromanage a ton so I've rarely messed with tactics outside of something like that and health pots/healing.
To any Europeans that have imported the US PS3 version:
I have a question about the DLC on the PS3 version since I think I'll be importing the game. If I buy the add-ons from the US psn store will I be able to play them on my European account? I assume that they'd work just fine, but I have been burned before and I'd like to have confirmation before I order it.

I didn't get a tactic point for two levels, and once I only got one attribute point.Fredescu said:
Been playing this for a few hours. I have 2 questions in regards to things outside of the gameplay.
1) I want to purchase the DLC, but can't even log in to do it. I got my free DLC that came with the game so I don't understand what's wrong. What am I doing wrong?
2) Can I create an ISO to run the game with or can I add it to steam?

Alistair. Shale is a beast and is easy to gear. Such a great character to boot.markot said:
My game somehow decided to stop my party attacking unless I click the attack button every time individually for each character. The party members also don't attack when enemies get close anymore. I don't know what happened. The tactics don't work at all either. This happen to anyone else? I was fucking around with scripting while I was dead tired last night but I didn't do anything permanent or make any changes to the game itself.

I usually liked to roll with Morrigan or Wynne along with two tanks (Shale and Alistair for the most part) when I knew a big battle was coming up. If not, I'd remove Alistair and bring Leliana along for the ride to open chests for the group.

Couldn't you grind indefinitely by traveling on the world map and engaging in random encounters?
Basileus777 said:
This worked. Thank god.
Regarding level cap: I thought there was no level cap in thsi game, it was just impossible to reach certain levels unless you were a masochist or something. So in that regard, I guess it could be said there was a cap (it's just that the game is not programmed to stop giving you xp at a certain level)

Going Alistair, Morrigan and Leilana. The dialogue alone is worth it. So far I also have Sten and the Dog, but I'm keeping them to the side. I like my warrior, my tank, my mage and my rogue. Great teamup and they work well with each other, story wise.
Will take other characters only when the game forces me or I want to explore their stories.
It's so bad being a dad who works all the time. I only get 2 hours at a time every few days to play.
Getting it on release day was the worst 5 bucks I ever spent. I loved the game, but it's almost not fair (haha) not getting to play.

I would just like to say that Shale is amazing. That is all.

Endgame Shale has been useless for me...
bengraven said:
You'll want to pick up Shale and stick him in your party - you can do it at any time since he's part of the Stone Prisoner quest, accessible as soon as you hit the world map. Not only is he a pretty devastating tank warrior, but he is hilarious in his disdain for humanity and otherwise complete apathy, and his backstory is pretty damn interesting to boot. He's even funnier if you're playing a mage.
markot said:
Oh right.
My group with Shale, Alistair and Zevran doesn't have that issue because my player character is a mage.gregor7777

I know we like to throw around hyperbole but come on. It's nowhere even close to 'lowest common denominator' in it's depth.
I mean yeah, it's not up to the level of detail of BG, but let's not get crazy here. It's not Fable 2 or something. (not that F2 is a bad game or anything)

Anyone else get the amazing
? That has probably been the best scene so far!
Flemeth fatality with Leilana
Is there something specific needed for your companions to teach their specializations? Alistair taught Templar almost immediately, while I now have Morrigan up to 100 approval, and finished her quest and she still refuses to teach shapeshifter. Am I missing something? Also, Liliana. I don't even have a dialogue option with her, does she need inflated approval before you can even talk about it?
I learned Shapeshifter from Morrigan the first time we were at camp. One of the dialogue options very clearly led in that direction. She definitely wasn't at 100 approval, though I did butter her up with a few gifts beforehand.
My char's a mage, so perhaps that has to do with it. Alistair won't teach me Templar.

Heh, I've got a 2 year old and a pregnant wife so my time is just about as limited. Last night the toddler was making all sorts of fussy noises over the baby monitor so, in an act of supreme sacrifice, I said that I would take the monitor upstairs so my wife could sleep while the toddler settled down.
Of course then the kid settled down right away and my wife was already asleep. So I ended up playing like 5 hours of Dragon Age before collapsing for a little bit of sleep before work. I'm a family man now and was never much of a binge gamer so doing something like that was pretty rare for me. In spite of some flaws this game just has it's hooks in me pretty deep. The older BioWare games like Baldur's Gate II were so close to being hits for me but they always had little issues that kept them from becoming favorites of mine. Dragon Age has just done a good job of preserving the basic goodness of those games while making some needed user friendly changes. Really enjoying it so far.

It's my understanding that you can't advance past 25. It doesn't list the amount of XP needed to reach 26, and no amount of XP can get you there.

I think there is something broken with Morrigan teaching you Shapeshifter. She taught it to me when I had her at neutral, but if I ask her now that I have her at 100, she won't do it.
