It's worth it, especially if you haven't seen the Fade cutscene he made. 

Isn't KoP a console player?

It's so bad ass!

So for ritual dismemberments, I dismembered the Dalish here, but I didn't catch any good screenshots. My character's face made me laugh so hard here.

Yeah but it's to girlie for me. Sorry don't hit me!

If you think Alistair killing stuff can ever be girly, I don't know what to tell ya.

I keep waiting to see shots of these super-sexy shield decaps!  I'm perfectly willing to enjoy S&S vicariously so long as I don't have to watch or play it in-game.


I'm gonna keep an eye out as I replay my S&S HNF.  So far, nothing yet.  Which irks me to no end, you have no idea.


ive never seen a shield decap in all my games...just a sort of finishing move where they shield bash, blood sprays and the opponent drops
Like this:

Yup, I've seen that, too.  But I've also seen where the heads disappears like it does for a regular decap.  I'm wondering now if it wasn't some sort of glitch.

Oh, someone would have to Fraps it then.  I don't know how to use Fraps because I'm lame.

The main virtue to my mind is to be able to wear armor, especially since the mage robes are so limited and tend to be so hideous.  You do have a trade off with not having magic stat boosts.  But there is little enough of that in vanilla game, too, so by mid-game it doesn't really matter.  You can pump everything into magic and kill pretty handily anyway.

Some people use AWs as tank, but since I don't use tanks, that concept is lost on me.  Bottom line, the mage specializations are such that only one of them really matters anyway and the other is a throwaway.  Unless perhaps you play SH/BM.  But that is a bit iffy from a RP perspective.

I take it you use the mod that gives you Awakening skills in Origins?  Or do you have something else going on?


Yeah, I use Awakening in OC.  I just turn it off then respec and save before import my character into Awakening. 


What happens if you don't do that, out of curiosity.

Someone that isn't Fraps impaired should make a video of the Fade and Lady of the Forest scenes for KoP.

Hey now, there's nothing girly in knocking heads with an ogre

(Alistair is on the right side off-screen, pummeling the other ogre with his shield)


IDK I can't even play a male pc and dual wield. Then again I won't play a male rogue or a mage either. So I am just weird that way.


Dual wielding rogue is beyond badass.

When I did it I ended up having more points than I should of had.  I was able to pick 5 classes instead of the 3.

I've never been able to do this.  I could cheerfully feed Sarel (the ******) and Zathrien to them but I like Athras and Varathorn and the Halla lady.  Also what happens to the children in this scene?

There is a mod that lets you cast with weapons drawn, and let me tell you, I finally get it. It's hella fun. stab/stab/mana clash the mash/stab stab/fireball/stab stab/hand of winter....shatter!

They weren't around. I didn't feel as bad about it once I went through with it though. I couldn't RP an elf doing it however.

If you do this though you become insanely overpowered, IDK about others but it makes the game no fun for me.

I feel like Rogues should have at least one skillset exclusive to them. They share DW and archery with warriors, but warriors get the added bonus of S&S and 2h. Rogues need something extra roguey. Archery for a warrior never made much sense to me anyway.

Yep, it's the idea of the children and young people that is especially horrific to me here.  This seems the most senselessly evil thing in the game.  Besides the fact that you are killing off one of your treaty groups for the sake of a shady alliance with a few werewolves, you potentially provoke retaliation by or at least rifts with other Dalish clans if a survivor were to get away.

Edit:  Oh, and then the curse continues anyway, so the werewolves are still in torment and can infect others.

I thought it was evil until I did it. I planned to reload but this is one of the rare instances where the dialogue options were good. I was able to RP it. It would totally depend on my character. Remember the GW are charged with the blight and will do whatever is necessary. The werewolves kicked serious butt at the final battle.

No you don't. you just don't sheath your weapons to cast, it's no different than using a staff full time. It's rather unconvincing that you're basically a battle mage if you have to sheath your weapons to cast a spell. Fireball still knocks you on your butt (believe me if I could find a mod for THAT I would) , mobs are still hitting you, alot, because you out aggro your tank by a mile, AND you're wearing plate. I died in the Zevran encounter! And you're still not one shotting anything

They don't show the kids, but they most probably either die or get cursed.
They should have shown it. Because as it is, the Werewolf option looks way cooler than it should.
