The misbegotten waif thread a/k/a The Fray V2

So I take it DA2 is a fun game? How is the story line?

The only thing that sucks is there are no other sword and shield fighters outside of Aveline...that I've seen.

She's it. There is one other fighter you can recruit who can do defending okay (as can any two hander), though. I did two playthroughs w/o her (though I was sword/board myself in one... not my fave).

I enjoyed the game. The narrative is much differently structured than the first. Less "We must save the world" and more "Caught up in (more and more) epic events". That has rubbed some the wrong way (my wife didn't think it was epic enough until the WHAM at the end).

I enjoyed it.

I like it, but I never played the first one. I've heard some complaints it's more like an action-RPG (like Mass Effect) then a more traditional RPG (like Baldur's Gate) which it is. I'm fine with it and they've streamlined things from what I hear (like not changing companions armor).

I like the story a lot also, some cool stuff so far (again, about 2/3 of the way through).

I've never played the first either, just heard lots of talk about the second. I prefer ME style action-RPG, so that should be good for me.

I'm enjoying Rift. It's not taking up nearly as much time as WoW used to... which is a big plus!

When I first saw someone mention Rift, I thought they were talking about a Rifts MMORPG. I had to ask for much more detail. LOL.

I do wonder when Siembieda is going to sue them for trademark issues. It would match historical trends.

 

[Relique du Madde]

Most likely. Hell if he could, I wouldn't put it past him if he sued someone for defamation/libel for saying that Palladium has the worse set of rules of any and all PRGs and that Kevin Siembieda thinks too highly of his typed piles of excrement to update, modernize, or even make his "house rules" playable/usable for any context.

Agreed. The guy does seem extremely sue-happy.

post 1000 again

do we want to start fray 3 or keep this one rolling, or Brother Shatterstone will come down and close this one just like the last one, but I doubt that.
