You give this thing too much credit, really. I couldn't care less...at the other hand I'm completely amused by the image we Alistair fan's seem to have in this thread. :lol: :ph34r:

An Alistair spy! They must be planning something!

It's not paranoia if they are REALLY out to get you. :o

Edit: Leliana and the queen-to-be of Ferelden.

I know what its like. Tali fans have the smae reputation on the ME boards.

Hmm, ME2: the Collector Chronicles

Play as a Harbinger, and defeat the attack on your base, led by Garrus. (Assuming Shep died, they got the next best thing)

Heh, yeah I find this spinning tale of Leliana hate when you love Alistair really entertaining. _Some_ fans might not like her but that has various reasons, which is not Alistair by any means. You either like the character, or not. It is really that simple. I for myself do like Leliana...she is just far away from _my_ team awesome which is Zevran, Morrigan, Alistair and Shale for me. Period.

I like all the characters, especially Leli, Alistair and Wynne

Yep, same here. Zevran, Morri, Shale and Alistair are just my personal faves, that's all. I tend to have a snarky humor myself so it's really no wonder I love them most. Though it varies from playthrough to playthrough. For example: my (canon char) F!Mahariel can't stand Leliana for various reasons, but my city elf was almost immediately BFF with her. It depends on whom I'm playing. Either my char gets along with a character or not. It's really no rocket science :P

Fair enough, Zevran is great too.

I am done with the Fade and now 2 handed fighting is so much fun! Yusaris FTW.



I like having

SHALE- BEST TANK EVER

WYNNE-BEST HEALER EVER

Leliana- best lock picker ever.



Although now Shale is turning all the chests into pinniatas.

What they should of done is made Alistair hook up with Zevran. That would have really pissed the Alistair fans off.


You ser, win


That is presumptuous. 

Alistair wasn't a bi option in the main game, that would not of made any sense at all. Yes, BioWare should of penalized a majority, just out of spite? Some bi/gay fans would of loved the chance to of romanced him in origins. 

It would also of cheapened and reduced Zevran to nothing more but a bi predator sexual stereotype, who can make straight men gay.  That would go down well with the gay community on this forum, who give BioWare praise for Zevran.

Love her character, she's the girl next door with a heart of gold. My favorite romance in the game, with Morrigan in a close second. The writers really outdid themselves with her character IMO and seeing her as a companion again in DA2 would be awesome (hey, Lord Foreshadow mentioned Orlais and the possibility of continuing the warden's story is a possibility. The sky's the limit!). The DLC that just got announced got me so pumped, can't wait for July!!!

I love all the characters besides Zevran who I've never spoken too. I was just making a joke. In fact, Alistairs my favorite after leliana.

So guys, I'm enjoying Awakening so far. Please don't beat me. I especially like Nathaniel. Even though I'm a human noble. Besides him though, the characters seem a little dry.

I'm 100% sure it was a joke and seeing as how the concept of anyone paying money for that DLC is the most ridiculous joke of the entire endeavour, Zev and Alistair hooking up seems pretty reasonable in comparison.

Its all fun and good until the ending then it is just sad. Dont expect some Origin level ending. And yes Nathaniel/Anders/Justice are pro. I sure miss Shale and especailly Leliana of course.

Well keep in mind Leliana romance characters have the best ending of all the romance options. So just keep that in mind when you finally see the ending, if you romanced anyone else you get an ending worse than that. If you romanced Morrigan you get the royal bone and Queen Cousland gets an equally crap ending.

The endings that all my wardens got in Awakening made me angry, can you say CONTRIVED children?

This is exciting, I very rarely play through games without spoiling them for myself. I can say one thing, when I go back to play Origins again, I am going to have a completely new appreciation for those companions.

So epoch_ have you picked up Velenna yet? Pretty much the only companion that drove me dingy.

Has anyone else noticed that the human character models from ME2 aren't as good as Dragon Age? My Shepard has like the most huge eye lashes in the world.

One of my custom femsheps look like her eyes are popping out of her eye lids.Posted Image
It got so bad I had to sit through the opening again and play with features to get it back to normal.

I wish we had something like in Spore, where you could see what your object/thing was going to look like or do in game.

I usually like character creators but this one just felt dishonest, like features were supposed to be there but weren't it took forever but eventually I got something that was pretty good. I just miss the total freedom of design I had in the Dragon Age toolset, Mass Effect 2 is really limited in terms of what you can do. Oh and I must have seen that stupid opening and played the dumb intro mission 15 times before I felt like I could play the damn game finally.

Anyway that's what I finally managed to do, it turned out alright but DA has much more realistic looking faces which is sorta ironic since it's a fantasy game. It really hammers home the idea that DA and ME are VERY different games made by two VERY different teams.

Wow your shep is way better looking than any I can manage to pull off. The creator in ME2 seems a lot harder then ME1 to me. I really wish there where more options in the CC, like in DA. I tried getting a scar add on for DA but no such luck. Also I miss my over the eye scar my Paragon had. That really cheesed me off.

I'm kinda insane when it comes of character creators, I won't stop until I'm happy and I'm pretty hard to please. I've had the game for a whole day and I'm only now actually playing it since I spent most of that time shooting robots and trying to see my Shepard from every possible angle to see if there were any imperfections in her design. I do appreciate that code thing which lets you pick up from where you left off if you decide to restart from the beginning like I did many, many times.:unsure:

There is a mod that allows you to skip that scene though! I wish I could find it somewher, a little hard to implement but really makes the intro less painful.
