I don't know how the Ultimate edition does it, but there is a strange redemption process of going to Bioware site for the DLC with the standard version of the game. You do not need to download anything extra though.
They exist, Minus.com is down now :|
Agreed, it's the best value game I have ever bought. Oh god, the hours... THE HOURS...
lol, but once you "level up" with her, she starts to buy nicer stuff at reasonable prices. I believe most people are like that but with varying thresholds. Once I caught on, I just marked whatever it is way down until they started to make remarks on how cheap it was. Then you start to jack it up.

the latter was part of the Civ V sale, it went from 10% to 25% off
Dunno about any kb prompts, playing with a 360 controller. I'm strictly speaking in terms of framerate, and what I'm reading seems to fit with my impression.
If it's the same as with Mass Effect 2, it's going to involve some obnoxious process of logging into Bioware with your EA/Origin account info, and manually downloading and installing each one. I hope that's not what it turns out to be...

I did this during the last summer sale before I had a decent enough PC to run the stuff I bought.

I know that. But for that price, i will just wait until the winter sale.
All your images come out does not exist.
I've been doing that up until a week ago when I got my new graphics card. I had 170ish games and I couldn't run most of them.
Oookay. How's combat (Team strategy? Hack and slash? Hit buttons like MMO?) and exploration (Places to stop and smell the roses and see the pretty that my graphics card will force on the game)? Any game that allows me to make a half decent looking female already gains my interest. Getting to wreck stuff with that said female is even better.
This is regarding DAO for anyone who has no idea what that was about.

Minus.com is being shit, it's either down or doing maintenance or something. Dunno.

Combat, great, exploration, limited but good enough. Mods and customisation? Why yes, whatever takes your fancy.
Plenty of NSFW mods to compliment your choice of decent looking female too.

Total War Megapack? Get.
Nude characters beating up on stuff, not so much interest.
Since my edit was too late, how is combat? Team strategy? Hack and slash? Hit buttons like MMO?
And exploration: Places to stop and smell the roses and look at the pretty that my graphics card puts out after the control panel forces settings?
Minus is down (just check my post later or I'll repost them w/e) but I can answer your question:

shut up i like girls with big noses

How long of a game is DAO?

I found the character editor to be horrible. My guy looked like a complete fool even though I was trying to make a tough, viking looking character. The beards literally look like some kind of Halloween props with space in between the characters face and beard. The females look ok but for the most part the characters look crazy. It's a great game but I just did not dig the graphics.

My first playthrough I did just about every side quest and it took almost 40 hours.
That included a couple of the DLC quests.

Combat is excellent, but exploration isn't really anything to right home about. The order in which you get to the main quest is extremely open, but the areas you go to are for the most easy to navigate and straightforward. This game isn't Skyrim in that regard.
Does anybody have a spare Walking Dead they would be willing to sell me? I thought I was going to be short for ARMA II and skipped it, but my situation has changed.

Not so much nude characters...the game has romance options and tasteful 'fade to black' type sex scenes. These can be enhanced to...not so tasteful, depending on your tastes.
Combat is tactics based. Think Baldurs Gate rather than hitting buttons. You will want to pause the game and pick what each of your team will do. Some classes are a bit OP, but if you don't seek out this knowledge the game is reasonably balanced and you have lots of options.
The game is decent looking, but not pretty. Most of the environments are just you getting from point A to point B when outside a city, but there is plenty of variety in them.
How do i mod DA: O? Apparently i have to edit some files to have more than 1 mod active? I have some extra hair pack, but can't work out how to put in more mods.

You can think of it alot like Knights of the Old Republic sort of. You've got your party of your character plus 3 others, you give them commands, they carry them out. Probably a lot of pause and play (at least thats how I played), so yes, using your party members together and trying to position them tactically. Definitely not hack and slash.
As far as exploring, there a decent number of areas in the game with an overworld map. Its not a sandbox game. You basically have your big map of the country you're in with certain specific locations on it to start out. As you progress some more minor locations will open up on the map and you'll occasionally have random encounters when travelling from place to place.
If you add in some of the mods and play at a high resolution its a decent looking game on the PC. Its not the Witcher 2 or anything, but its a nice looking game. The PC version has the nice overhead tactical view too, which is great. And lots of mods too which can add as much or as little to the experience as you want.

Did Terraria go on sale?
About a thousand times.

Just missed it 30 minutes ago.
Edit: Actually maybe it was longer then that. These sales tend to bleed together.

Wanted to buy Dragon Age: Origins but what's up with this:
Are they meant to be different prices / have different content?

Team strategy, hotkeys, item buffs, inventory, can pause the game at any time (and should often on higher difficulties)
Not a huge amount of exploration, you're pretty much in a "level" most of the time. You aren't really forced down a path but it's not skyrim in that regard.

Man Arcane Warriors were so broken in DA1.
Just the weapon changing stuff. I've pretty much taken for granted that after a cutscene I always press 4, to change back to the 2-hand weapon. The save failure you mentioned looks like a horrible bug, and fortunately never happened to me.

The full beards do look awful in the Dragon Age games.
But especially with the PC version, the character creator is pretty good if you use the more elaborate version thats in the Dragon Age toolset.It has a bit of a learning curve, but it enabled a lot more customization than what was in the game itself.
If you skip some of the voice acting and dialogue and aren't playing with the DLC, probably around 40 hours. If you listen to all the dialogue and have all or most of the DLC installed (excluding the expansion pack), then probably upwards 60 or 70 hours. Awakening, the expansion pack, is about 10-20 hours long.
They were the best. Mages forever.
Does it support NMM? I can live with a KoTOR type combat system. Although I never really got far in KoTOR because I got bored by the time I got down into those sewers/underworld place in the beginning.

Get the Ultimate Edition, it comes with the Awakening Expansion.
Haha everyone did. There's a mod to skip Taris you know. I do it all the time when I replay KOTOR now.
Broken and awesome. Add some blood magic and you got a stew going.

I have a physical copy of Origins and Awakenings. I'm tempted to get the Steam version just for the convenience factor. Does that make me a bad person?

Not at all.
No. Do it.
