It was the "online pass" thingy, remember those, glad they don't really exist anymore.
wasn't the golem a she?
i liked the angry muscular dude that doesn't talk to you for like half the game
can't remember if you ever share stories and feelings with him until he gives you sex and you never talk to him again
i mean it's a bioware game after all
then i suddenly get curious and install one
then i realize my life's sucks and cry myself to sleep
i'm weak
weak
fuck i'm doing it again
maybe don't install like two dozen at a time, that's all

Yeah, that was the one. An NPC apparently begged the player to buy Shale via the purchase of said DLC.
Notable, since at one point Shale was planned to be in the game. You can see the remnants of her recruitment quest in the game files. I think it only got as far along as that before they cut it out and moved it to DLC.
Im sorry, I dont understand the words you just wrote. Like in poker, when I go in, I go all-in
I suck at poker 
wonder if I should play them on origin, I guess it doesnt make a diference, the Keep thing isnt pulling from saves anyway aparently

the biggest problem with installing so many mods isn't really making them work in tandem (tho that's an issue for sure), it's keeping your interest alive after you've spent like a week just looking at mods
specially if you den install all of them and start playing and realize it's still skyrim (yea free jab at skyrim)
also does anyone know how much 3d printing costs. i wanna do something cool for my mom's birthday

Civ 5 with the Gods and Kings dlc is taking all of my free time.
Help.
Help.
embrace the games that consume your life, those are the best. Fuck backlogs
If you were female, you had to convince Alistair / Loghain to sleep with Morrigan, obviously you couldn't do it yourself. But it wasn't to save the world, it was to save the skin of the person who would make the killing blow.
I totally convinced Alistair every time after the first playthrough
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to DA:I now. The latest videos convinved me that the DA team did a great job.
I'll probably play a female elf mage, or qunari. I want everyone in Thedas to try and not respect me.
Uninstall it and you should be safe
Ignore this advice and get Brave New World.
keeping the Origins train rolling, I played both times (360 and then PC) as a healer mage, wasnt the game really fucking hard if you didnt have a healer, which I believe you cant get until later (that older lady)?
well i think i didn't convince them cos me and alistair weren't on speaking terms by endgame, and i can't remember about loghain but i'm pretty sure he didn't
was really cool finding that my choices made alistair turn into a bum in da2 tho. that was awesome
not sure
i played as an archer thing and i think i got by alright?
da1 feels like it released a million years ago

Me too, I bought DA2 without reading about it because it was made by Bioware, it has been sitting on my shelf ever since.

I still need to play the majority of DA:O DLC, might have to play it myself this weekend. I bought the Ultimate Edition from GameStop for $6 a few months ago and I think it's time to actually give it another play through.
It was harder yes, but in Origins you have tons of potions, so you could get far enough without a healing spec. The basic healing spell was available to every mage, so you could give it to Morrigan early on.
And the Circle is recommended as the first mission post Lothering, since you get Wynne and you can save the mages (useful if later in Redcliffe you want to save that little brat, Connor).
My favourite playthrough of Origins was with a dalish female elf dual wielding rogue. She was a beast! It was the only character I could kill the Harvester with on Hard / Nightmare difficulty. Mostly because the party that they gave you for the Golems of Amgarrak DLC was beyond useless.
I much preferred the DLCs in DA2 in this regard: not only they were of higher quality with new environments, but you could use your original companions.
At the end of the Landsmeet you either have Loghain or Alistair in your party, since Alistair will get mad at you and leave the party if you spare Loghain. I think that's how you get him homeless and pathetic in DA2.
get Brave New World so you can have fun w/ the World Congress... I like to build a bunch of nukes and then propose nuclear non-proliferation..
it's good 2 be da king
If you play DA2 as a COD game you might enjoy it. It's complete style over substance, your normal Magic attack for example (like your auto attack) Hawke throws a bunch of fireballs and twirls his staff around like its a John woo movie
You just need to go with the right mind set. Or just hate it for the much worse game than Origins that it is, that's also an option
Edit: you need to use spacebucks for DA2 DLC right? It wasn't on steam, and it was the beginning of the EA/valve split, the whole "DLC inside the game store so valve doesn't get a cut" thing?

what rpg is dragon age series most like? is it like kotor but high fantasy instead of space opera star warz?
reading up on inquisition, it seems like it might turn out alright
it's just the skyrim inspirations that turn me off entirely
hope it's good for people that care but with all these kickstarter rpgs i really don't have much of a reason to bother with aaa stuff
but yea it's like kotor, mass effect, all those games in that you walk around a town getting quests and talking to people, some of those join your party, then you talk to them in your spaceship and they get +1s relationships and then you take them to caves and kill whatever moves in there to finish some quest and when you're back there's a new conversation option with someone to get more +1s and eventually they sleep with you

i mean it's party based so it's a bit different. closest comparison is baldur's gate/planescape torment/icewind dale, those kind of games, just newer and simpler (for good and bad).

You should have a Desura key waiting for you on IGS, redeeming which will let you access the Steam key!
Cheers! And thanks Copons for posting about the game
And this time I didn't even beg for a review key!
Anywoo
and indeed hoo
But I have to ask: how is it possible that, if R* didn't fink on Denuvo, no one would have ever known of its very existence, even though it's been used for at least a year now.
I mean, it's just me that I'm super misinformed (and that's fine, considering how much I follow this kind of news), or they really managed to operate undercover for all this time?
Also (tin foil hat alert), the fact that Denuvo's roots dig deep into Sony, makes me think that maybe they're actively trying to thwart PC growth with cheap tricks and whatnot.
I mean, they already do it in more overt ways with first party and exclusives, so I guess is not such a huge leap thinking that Sony (or MS, or Nintendo too, who knows) are pushing EA and Ubi to ditch Steam (or R* and others to use annoying DRM) in order to undermine it and PC gaming in general.

Review embargo is like a week before release, can't remember the last time EA was this confident.

I didn't find DA2 to be that different from DAO, to be honest. Yes, it was flashier and faster, but the combat was the same. I did miss the tactical view and the wave system got old pretty fast, but overall I enjoyed it as much, if not more, than DAO's combat.
The introduction of the cross class combos was pretty great and the combat was still tactical on Hard and Nightmare.
Yes. That's the reason I only played the DLCs on Xbox 360, where they actually got discounted...
damn birds near my window never stop singing
damn you birds i wanna sleep
yeah i mean it sounds pretty alright and it can be a well reviewed game but it doesn't mean it's a good game for me
who knows, if it's good i might bite, but i really don't want to fall for another skyrim -__-

Those hateful boyfriendos !

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
I have a walkway light just outside my bedroom. It sucks.
you'd think but then mass effect 3...
yea light comes out of my window cos i sorta broke my window blinds when trying to clean em. happened like 4 times so there's like this big hole now lol
that's pretty annoying, i should really get on buying new blinds lol
err wht the fuck? you need to be registered on nexus to download mods, and you need to pay to be registered?
The packages are optional.

no paying, that i'm positive
also pretty sure you don't need to register
i love birds
just not at like 5 am when i'm trying to sleep
Well yeah, the game isn't objectively on par with vanilla DAO, but the art of recycling isn't exactly new to DA2.
Every damn DLC for DAO recycled something from the vanilla game or Awakening. They were really terrible. The DLCs for DA2 are light years ahead of those abominations.
edit: but talking specifically about the combat: I'd say that they are basically the same. DA:I will be an interesting change of pace without normal healing spells. We'll see.

Howly Mowly, there is a steam virus circulating. Open the link, it is safe (famous group), it talks about the virus: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/bakersgamesgiveaways#announcements/detail/171462459295061654

Heh, seriously though, the "prophecy, old wise mentors, saving the world" cliché has gotten real old.
to be fair i never got past the YOU THE CHOSEN ONE HAVE TO KILL ALL TEH DRAGONS part but at least what i played was consistently lame
mass effect 3 is just all over the place, consistently bad but then it drops the mordin-wrex on ya so you think oh shit this game is the real deal and then you have a duel with whatshisface and ghost dreams in your underwear and i just can't take it
i guess one or two moments of greatness in me3 are better than the general mediocrity (caveat being i haven't played much of skyrim so this might be untrue) of skyrim
but i wouldn't put much trust in bioware anyways
yea right what do you think i'm stoopid
that's exactly what a virus would say

From that post, in case you don't want to open it:
"Seen this one making a few rounds lately, infected a few high profile accounts.
How it works
This is how it works. There's a link, that APPEARS to end in ".png", under the pretense of your friend sending you a screenshot. If you click this link, it will download a .scr file, which will hijack your steam account. Your steam account will start to send the same link to your friends.
What to do
- Don't click links ending "sshot721.png", or any link from "screen-lighting" website.
This is the only website they are using at the moment, so it's the one you should definitely not click. They may start using other websites though, so be vigilant.
- Turn on Download Notifications in Chrome.
Chrome has a feature which will ask you if you want to download a file, before downloading it. By default, this is OFF. You can turn this feature on by going to "Settings", "Advanced Settings", and clicking the checkbox on "Ask where to save each file before downloading." This feature is enabled by default on Firefox.
- Ask your friend if they sent that link
In a lot of cases, the friends have managed to retain access to the account. Since it is automatic, ask your friend if they sent the link to you. If they say no, then you know they are infected. If they do not answer, presume the same.
Thanks for reading."

I don't think Mass Effect 3 was bad, but the ending was so awful that negated everything else.
imo me3 was terrible way before the end
tho the end didn't help lol
such an awful way to end a series, hard to believe bioware actually released that
and like right after da2 and that kotor mmo no one asked for
i really hope dragon age inquisition is great, bioware could use some dignity back
anyways i think i scared the birds away so 6 am time to sleepy bye bye

Pretty much. I have my reasons as to why it ended up the way it did, but it's something better served for an essay (or a TVTropes liveblog - I've thought of writing one for the game).

I had a playthrough of Skyrim with almost 200 hours and never triggered the dragons. Made the world a lot less annoying. Which is funny, because the biggest complain I had about Oblivion was the lack of big monsters (DRAGONS).
In my first playthrough I haven't finished the main quest either. I'm not sure why. Probably because there's just so much other stuff to do! I've been playing it again and I'm totally sucked in. I also got into modding the game (thanks, golem!) to improve some bits here and there and I'm having a blast.

A friend told me now: "a friend of mine said some time ago, that hackers managed to hide (in form of screenshot or picture) a Trading Offer Steam request, it's like a hole in security. When u open this (link or picture, doesnt matter) - your account will automatically send a Trade Request for hacker's account, sendint him ALL your inventory. And since your trading offers do not notify you about this - you will lose everything without even noticing."
Be careful people. They are using new methods since things like random friends requests don't work anymore, they are using your own friends , the people you trust.
Dunno , I never heard about it here in gaf. Did anyone had such experience here?
Hackers now are the evil reincarnated.

I'm on a bus to Taipei for the movie, but the bus hit another car, now I'm just sitting on it in the middle of highway.Good morning SteamGAF. I went to cinema last night to see Interstellar. Movie is good, audio-visual experience is really good. Go and watch it but don't expect something mindblowing
