Less enemies, and more pick ups on console but there's something broken in the gameplay, at least from my perspective. It says friendly fire is a possibility, and I know Cone of Cold can freeze my whole party so I don't know if friendly fire is actually off on Normal.
In Mass Effect I can at least position each of them, and it seems to work fine for that. They can run into battle like morons sometimes but can at least use cover and effective abilities. Also, Shepherd is the strongest character at any given time in a sense, so it's not too bad.
I'm trying to build Alistair into a good tank. A lot of characters I'm fighting tend to try to take me out before the other party members whether Alistair has Threaten on or not, so they turn around at my when I'm getting good backstabs in. I think part of the problem is I'm wearing inappropriate (heavy) armor for my rogue, so I probably have too much fatigue.
I'm going to have to play around with it when I finish the Urn Of Sacred Ashes quest. I didn't really understand a lot of the stats at first (it's really had to read the text on my TV). I'm on the mountain top now but I can't beat the guys up there, I want to do it now so I can get a Drake scale, which won't be there later. I already have 9 so it would be great to get this one now.

Last time I played I decided to leave the whole place, go back to camp, and stock up on items and a bit of new gear so hopefully it'll be better now. I really need to upgrade stealth enough to where I can use it in combat. I'll definitely get some light armor on my dude, since he's wearing Heavy Chainmail right now. And maybe I missed if you can move them around, but I don't seem to be able to. I'm playing Earthbound so I can have fun in an RPG again. Posted on: 24 April 2011, 19:46:25
Bam. Messed with a few settings and learned how to play a bit better and I'm actually having some fun with Dragon Age! The story is still lacking for me, something is just not making me CARE too much and I'm thinking of dubiously switching my romance around if it's not too late--which usually isn't my style IN LIFE OR FICTION (/lesson) but at least I'm not losing hair and actually feel like playing. I'm happy about it, because now I have the energy to do side quests, unfortunately I was too late to get any jobs out of Lothering.

Yeah, lol about the romance. When I was playing Mass Effect 2 I would go to all the characters just to enjoy the conversations, and all the girls were like "So I have feelings for you because we were flirting," even though just like the first game there was hardly any of that in the dialogue option or in the speech itself. My memory might be a bit vague about this, I could be a bit off about the lack of flirting.
But anyway I denied all advances because I was like "You know what, I like Tali the most out of the bunch, (as a person, not as a horny snotface) but I'm LOYAL so it's not HAPPENING." And then even though I told Jack I wasn't interested in her BAM, she comes at me all like "I WANT YOU FOR SEX." And I was gonna say no but then I was like "This is a VIDEO GAME. WHO GIVES A #####." And now Liara's picture on my desk is face down. I just can't bear to have her LOOKING AT ME.
I also figured the events in Game 3 would be lolworthy.
I'm playing Demon's Souls right now. Well not right now but you know. Let's just say, as a fourth dimensional object, part of me is playing Demon's Souls. I learned that from a video John posted on facebook and my application of the knowledge could still be entirely wrong. It's some semantics that someone's gonna call me on later and I don't feel like checking my phrasing right now or looking it up to make sure. I'm not drunk, just tired.
I am quite impressed with Demon's Souls, though my playing and strategizing is tempered by reading a lot of the wiki. I've avoided reading direct walkthroughs and boss strategies, but more about items and upgrading weapons. I think I will inevitably buy Dark Souls and try not to read any guides for the first playthrough of that game.

I did the same except I just didn't get with any of the ME2 people ('cause I was with Liara in the first) but I also never really said I wasn't interested. If that picture of her is down it means you've f'ed up that relationship (we'll see how much that comes into effect in the next game). In the Shadow Broker DLC you can continue a relationship with Liara, and all that relationship stuff carries over to ME3 supposedly (which will also offer actual same-sex relationships for the first time). So I just kept up with that ship since [I put too much thought into this stuff and] story-wise the only one in ME2 I thought would be interesting was Tali, because of her story about having a crush on you since the first game. Also, the Jack thing was kind of cool but just didn't fit with how I imagined my Shepard entirely, but it would've been cool. While I like the actress that voiced and was the model for Miranda, I found that character lacked just that-- And since I'm not actually attracted to these computer generated images her "looks" weren't a factor. Romance in Dragon Age: Origins sucks compared to Mass Effect in a few ways including the fact that I don't find the Dragon Age world immersive enough to care, but the main way is simply because Mass Effect doesn't have the approval system that Dragon Age does. I find the approval thing only adds annoyance to the game, instead of... name a good thing that it could theoretically add.

There's a point in ME2 where you can get one of three upgrades to Shepard;
-Assault Rifle proficiency -Shotgun proficiency -Sniper Rifle proficiency
Depending on what glass you are, you might already have some (or all in the case of a soldier) of these, so instead you get to pick a weapon of that type.
As an Infiltrator I already had Sniper Rifle proficiency. However, I figured assault rifles would've been a game breaker, and I didn't care enough about shotguns for the way I played so I picked up one of (if not THE) best sniper rifles in the game.
WORTH IT, bitch.
The thing is basically supposed to have enough kickback to tear off a human arm, so only Shepard and Legion can use it, but it is strong as a brick ##### house. There is, of course, a sniper rifle with a better rate of fire but that's really moot when it still takes at least three shots from it to kill anything. Plus the Assassination Cloak bonuses added made it a must have.
