Just got the Merrill quest bug where she's mourning an NPC who hasn't died yet -- not sure the effect of it... I've read it can bugger her story arc sometimes.As it stands, Dragon Age 2 is one of my favorite <s>LGBT-friendly, faux-medieval splatterpunk soap opera simulators</s> computer role-playing games. For all it's faults --take my reused assets, please-- it does a good job bringing it's world to, albeit completely-scripted, life. Better than the 1st one, where a lot of interesting detail got lost for me in the incredibly generic main quest storyline. I really cared about these ersatz, frequently blood-splattered characters, even if their dialog was sometimes totally at odds with their current situation/surroundings. The most critical thing I can say about DA2 is it's no ME2. I guess I really dig Bioware's new direction... or the current refinements made to their old direction. (the inventory and crafting can use *even more* streamlining!)</blockquote>
