<blockquote>

Leave Kirkwall, and journey to an ancient Grey Warden prison in order to find the source of the aggression and uncover the harsh truth about the Hawke lineage. Playable from any point in the DAII campaign, face all new darkspawn, forge a powerful new weapon and come face to face with an ancient horror.</p>

Why don't they create more than 3 types of enemies?
Darkspawn, spiders... uh... dragons.

Bioware should totally sue Peter Jackson for copyright infringement and intellectual property theft.

Oh, that's not Sephiroth/Hawke team-up? Bah.

Or is it cloud or smth.

Good lord. That elf GAY next to Hawke. :retarded:

fixed.



Also the trolls are practically identical apart from the feet, even the head armor is the same. I hope people are telling the LOTR guys about this, or better yet telling them to wait for the DLC to be released before launching a claim. Unless Bio has already done a deal which would be a pity.

Is that shield made of cardboard? What about that sword? Why is Hawke sweeping the floor in the middle of the battle?

Hopefully the next DLC will answer these questions. I can't wait to not buy this one while I don't wait for the next DLC. :o

FYI that's the BioWare game designer for BioWare Austin (The MMOG), not BioWare Edmonton (Mass Effect and Dragon Age).

On topic, Is the AWESOME buttan MOAR awesome?

I *think* the troll is holding the shield, but I could be wrong, that elf seems to have a sword bigger than his body, so who the hell knows. Of course, why would the troll run into battle with a giant shield and no weapon: that shield would prevent him from attacking anything. That troll has little arms and a shield bigger than himself.

Yeah, what the hell is that shield? Is it an improvised defense or is that really the character's standard shield?

edit: oh man I'm dumb it's actually the creature's shield :lol: I saw the character's outstretched arm and the hand positioned as if it were holding the thing. I'll just blame it on the shield looking ridiculous.

The troll's weapon is the huge spiked knuckle on his right hand. I'm not sure who's holding the shield. If it's the elf (Fenris), maybe he's really like Cloud and can hold giant weapons because of magical strength, I dunno

his holding this giant shield. its gelock alpha they tend to be bigger than normal genlocks.

cant wait to rip another hole in his ass with my sarcastic awesome rogue bowman female hawke :thumbsup:

you cant hit him standng in front of him because of the shield. you need to move your characters behind his back to deal damage.

tactical gameplay 2.0 by bioware :smug: :salute:
