"Man, seriously? Jesus christ, what is this pure undiluted rage. This is over the top, get a hold on yourself man, you're pathetic. Go work out or have sex or something, I mean it seriously this is pretty sad, I don't think they're any humour in there, you really write this off furiously typing on your keyboard. And then you'll go 'nah I dont care roofle', but fuck it, I wouldn't want to be in your head. Anyway I love you Volourn because you have strong moral principles which you demonstrated in this thread, first by being a humanist, and then by insulting someone for no reason because you love human beings and know the value of goodness and hounour"

Man, seriously.

Finished Awakening. The crybabies are crying over the dumbest things. There are some things to complain A for but lack of romances and DLC items are not them. As for bugs, I saw 1 or 2 of them but no game breakers at least.

Anyways, to go with the is A better or worse than O.... Let's find out...

A > O
---------
A. Its companions are better overall than O's. Says a lot that only one of the A npcs are worse than tyhe only holdover Oghren. Vehanna or whatever tyhe elf witche's name is is one of the worst joinables ever for a BIO game. She reminds me of whatever that giant moron from O. Nothing redeemable at all. On the other hand, characters like Nathaniel and Anders are pure awesomeness.

B. The new and improved darkspawn. The issue has gotten a lot more complex. I though I had no doubt how I'd handle a particular choice... in the end, I couldn't do it that way and feel justified.

C. New classes, talents, and skills. Awesome.

D. Rune crafting. Yeah, it can be a compliocated mess to do, but still a nice addition. Now, they just need to clean it up in next expansion and sequel.

E. The darker overall tone. A hilarious post on the BIO boards as the fellow literallyc rying how he hates A because it ruins his precious O 'cause it's so much darker. Good. That makes it better. So, take THAT.


O > A
-------

A. Combat is simply easier. Too much phat lewt combined with overpowering talents makes combat easy at least for my main character who simply can't be threatened with death.

B. Length. Not a huge deal since it's an expansions and expansions are always short. O took me 60ish hours to finish -10 hours fooling around while A took me 22ish hours to finish -4ish hours of fooling around.


Bottom line is A is an expansion of O, and it feels, smells, acts, and plays like it. 'Nough said.

Trying to decipher this. Weren't you saying no carryover DLC was bullshit earlier? What changed your mind.

Or am I reading this barely coherent sentence wrong?

That the time to cry about lack of DLC carry over has now passed. They don't make the game the game worse (or better) in any way. If you are gonna criticize A, crtiicze the real problems not retarted DLC items that you'd likely throw in the trash anyways unless you are one of the emo freaks who get emotionall attached to in game items so much you cry about it. LMAO

And, those freaks have no sympathy from me. In fact, if they hate the game and never buy another DA game and never post about it again, I'd bne a happy fuckin' camper.

I don't give a fuck.

Well, that kind of reminds me of the time I clicked on the Haven & Hearth board before they gave me access. Not sure what that has to do with taking things at face value, though.

LMFAO

R00fles!

I wonder if Volourn still has a human-looking jaw or if it's already mutated from the constant laughing
