Sounds like you've got it all planned out.  Why don't you do your own show?  If you think our episodes are "paper thin" then perhaps you're looking for something else.  We don't expect to please everyone, but plenty of people do find what we have to say inetresting.  If you don't, you don't have to listen.  Goodbye.


I certainly would like to, but unfortunetly none of my friends (or really anyone I know) plays Dragon Age (and believe me, I've been trying to "convert" them for months, lol).

I will say that I enjoyed the last episode when you finally did discuss the DA2 live demo/playthrough/etc.

Although, I thought the host (I dont know the names, I'm sorry) was a little too harsh regarding the questions they answered. I suppose it did not occur to him, at the time, that those two might have been under contract to not reveal certain information about the game (this isnt exactly a rare thing either). Or, maybe they simply didnt want to spoil too much. Yes, some of the questions where stupid, but I dont think its anything to get overly pissed off about.

He complained that the information was "already out there," but I think people need to look at it as:

1. a way to get DA2 out to non-fans/newcomers.
2. a chance for fans to finally see the game in action.

The problem with simply putting up an FAQ is that people would need to actively search for one. This has a demo of the game and an FAQ rolled into one neat package. Cuz lets be honest, did anyone really expect them to answer any of the big questions? For a simple demo? I think not.

You do listen to podcasts, right? The majority of them consist of
non-sensical rambling. If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to
listen.


I dont know what kind of podcasts you listen to, but all the casts I listen to are anything but (DaizenshuuEX the podcast, The Smogon "Smogcast," etc).

I love the show guys!!! Keep up the good work. Only just found it a week or so ago, and I'm only up to Episode 18 at the moment, but should be caught up soon.

I miss Tara, though. One minute she's having technical difficulties and then she's never heard from again (at least, up to 18). Where is she? Is she coming back ever??

Regardless, I'll keep listening. :)

I have switched all my gaming to my 360. I am using Dragon Age to fill my Everquest hole in my heart. At least the combat is similar. Anyway good podcast but it would be cool to hear more about your favorite DA mobs, weapons and characters.

I'm curious to hear if the same spot VaeVictus could no longer roleplay his character is the same as mine...

I don't specifically mention that spot in the episode, but I'll send you a PM. I'd rather avoid posting spoilers here. :)

Vae, my advice to you: `runscript killallhostiles

I found the game better on the second play-through. Good luck.

Thanks Danijou, I'll keep that in mind. I'm positive it'll come in handy when I play through the game again.

I finished DA2 on Friday night so I thought I'd post my final verdict here.

Rating: 89%

It's not as good as Origins. Origins was the first Bioware game in quite some time that managed to get almost everything right. Dragon Age 2 gets some stuff right and some stuff wrong.

First what went right. I really like most of the gameplay changes. Crafting is no longer a drag, the combat system is awesome, most of the companions are great (I'm weird in that I actually quite liked the one who returns from a previous game but really disliked Sebastion) and the writing is really good. I like the new art style and the game looks really good, except for the slightly stark landscapes.

What went wrong? The prologue for the game isn't very good at all. There's no connection to the characters, it's one of the worst looking bits of the game and it feels a bit all over the place. Once you reach Kirkwall it rapidly improves though. Spawining enemies in combat is so incredibly frustrating as it tries it's best to ruin the combat system. Ditch those and the combat would probably end up being better than Origins. Repeated environments are also incredibly frustrating but at least the few environments they do use look better than most of the levels in the original.

I also feel that the plot tries its best to ignore my descions. Many of the choices did have pretty cool consequences (I think this is the first time in a while that the choices in a Bioware game feel like they have consequence that affect more than the outcome of a quest) but the end of Act 3 ruined that.

I think that the most frustrating thing about DA2 is the potential though. It's the fact that it could have been the best game ever if it had just had another year of development time.

Hey guys. I really enjoyed the podcast (since you guys can finally discuss DA2 in detail, lol) and I'm glad to hear VaeVictus X was as upset with DA2 as I am (I rented and beat it in like 3 days, so I get to talk crap about it for real now). lol.

I bet he and I could spend a whole day talking about how much it sucks compared to Origins.

I mean, it has some redeeming qualities, but honestly, the only things keeping me going were a desire to see how it played out, a need to explore the DA world some more, and to create a save file to import into DA3.

Lol, Moo :)

Anyway, loved the episode! Yay, Tara is back, hey Tara :P *smiley face*

I approve of Vae's efford to learn how to pronounce my nickname :)

Also, as far as pathfindings go, I'd say it's the problem of physics (since pathfindigs are being generated by algorythm ... ehm automaticly) it might be a problem of model collisions, but then I don't know that much on the subject :)

I'm also writing to show...I DO have the userbar of Darth Bambus! Observe :)
