[QUOTE="Sutekh, post: 5495472, member: 16863"] i will admit I bit the bullet and bought the game from Steam. My thoughts after 12 hours of game play (and please note VERY spoiler heavy and Im playing on normal)) Some observations (and partly based on other peoples thoughts from the above comments) 1. Feels a lot like a console Game to me. The one click attack and play especially. 2. Still disappointed im stuck as a Human. While this lets the story be more focussed, I really do miss the origin story of my Dwarf Noble. Im not fussed so much if the sister dies or brother dies (but for some reason I did feel a lot sadder when Hawkes mother dies after the whole strange white lillies killer fight) 3. Im using tab a lot so I can see all the little books and notes to read so I can read up on Kirkwall and the setting in general . Otherwise I miss stuff. 4. Oh my god. The inside of every second house is the same? Why? Is it that hard to make every house different? Same with the caves. Im getting extremely frustrated with seeing the same rock face doors that I cant open and stairs in every cave I come across. 5. I found out half way through the game that i needed to buy armor upgrades for my companions. Why just have this as armor... surely it would of been easier to do weapons like this too. Seems like they have gone half way with this setup and then decided to stop. 6. Whats up with the kid son of Bodahn? . Mr 'Enchantment!'. Is he possessed? 7. The Gold curve for game seems out of wack. I had 88 gold by the time I needed to fund the expedition. After that and just buying cool team kit, it just keeps going down with no real big paying jobs. 8. Im playing a Human mage. I normally take along emo elf (Lyrium Tattoo dude), Averline and Isabella. 9. I seem to be finding a lot of lost kit and returning it home for an easy 750 exp. All over the place in some really familiar locations 10. Lots of loot stored in crates. 11. Barrels. More loot. 12. Quinari: I like them a lot. Of all the 'races' in 2 they seem to have had the most work. My most challenging battle was against the Arishok but that was basically me running in circles Winter blasting every so often. 13. Ive just started again after killing the Arishok.. is there much left to go? 12 hours seems like not much game time.. and I have been doing every quest. (all bar one extremely irritating Herbalist quest at Sundermount) 14. My most challenging battle has been from memory the trap central Evil Pit destroy or read book quest. Very difficult. 15. My character has been pursuing Isabella most of the game. She came good with her relic for the Arishok before I had to gut him. 16. Am I the only one who disliked Alastair from the previous game? I couldnt stand him. 17. If I have to go back to the Wounded Coast again for some minor thing, I wont be happy 18, Can I please explore the Continent? Please? [/QUOTE]
