Don't do it! That's where the boom comes from, I think!

When sandal mentions the tower in the lake, does anyone else think they're about to break out into a musical number?

"The tower in the lake is scary!"

"He means the gallows, and I quite agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."

No? Just me?

He was the Grand Master of the Jedi Order. I would think that makes him more than some crazy trainer.

Before the prequels, being a Jedi was about much more than lightsabers.

Did you notice how Luke doesn't use his lightsaber very much in the originals? Now watch the prequels, every damn scene has lightsabers.

Yoda was there to teach Luke there was more to the force, but Lucas forgot about that when he was rolling around in money.

...It was a war with lazers being shot at them. It was pull out the light saber and reflect the shots or die.

You must have not seen the first trilogy. There was also a war going on in that one.

 Sandal wasn't even funny. I mean, the only reason why people liked him was because he said, "Enchantment!" all day. That's not comedy, that's just more repetitious nonsense.

Is this like a joke complaint thread? Of all the things to nitpick you choose the mentally deficient enchanter dwarf?

Someone (or several) needs to learn restraint at BioWare.

As if all the cameo's weren't over-the-top enough (just too many considering the time period/methods of travel/locations/etc)..you certainly took and ruined at least one character with them.

Sandal.  In DA:O it was rather humorous to end up in that room just before the Archdemon and see all those darkspawn lying about his feet while he's covered in blood and just spouts his coveted "enchantment!" line when you ask "wtf?"

But in DA2, because you apparantly can't do anything without running it into the ground...he now does this at least twice?

You know, bio, part of what makes an action or character unique is the infrequent times such a thing occurs.  So what do you do?  oh look I'm about to go fight the last boss...oh look there's sandal again...how..novel.

seriously, grats on taking the humor and "magic" out of the entire thing.  Now it's just cheap.


Sandal? There was no magic to begin with. Sandal in Origins was cute but barely noticeable. There was nothing special about him at all. DA2 gives a deeper look into the relationship between Sandal and his father, and to me that was special.

Agreed. And Sandal says too many damn words. He should just say 'enchantment.'

@Ghostwize I think it started off as a complaint thread, but quickly devolved into a joke thread. Outside of the Prophecy, it's hard not to joke about Sandal.

I like it that we get to see Bodhan and Sandal again. I enjoy their company and I want to make sure that they are ok =)

The war in that trilogy didn't have 1,000's of Jedi just 1 so yeah but other then Sandals Prophicy and rune placement he was out of place

They actually made a small joke character and turned him into a real character.

He's interesting now, whereas before he was just there.

Same with his dad. I totally got the feeling from Origins that he was taking advantage of his son and using him as free labor at enchanting. But this game gave us that nice speech by the fireplace which showed that he really does care for Sandal.

It was touching.

I'm pretty sure it's the same voice actor, it's just that he's saying more than 'Hi' and 'Enchantment.'

I'm not really fussed about Sandal and Bodahn being in the game, though I think they should leave them out of Dragon Age 3 or give them a smaller role.

Still glad to see them have a cameo though in Dragon Age 2, Sandal is such a memorable and funny character.

They are trying establish the point that Sandal is more important to the story than you think.

Which is annoying.

He's a joke character. He was meant to be a joke character from the start. He was stuck at the very end of DA:O so we'd have someone to buy healing potions and injury kits from.

People thought he was funny. Great!

We don't need him in every game making the same joke.

Or they could just have some new jokes with him.

Just watch Sandal become a companion and save the world in DA3, I'm serious.


Not only will he be a companion, he will be the protagonist AND the story teller. The entire game will be streamlined down to "enchantment" and "no enchantment". You will be able to press a button to make things go boom, and another button to make things go boom, in a different way. You will also be able to skip through both dialogue and battles.

Sandal is awesome, come on.

I do miss Wade and Herren :'( Is it just me?

YES! I was playing through Awakening just yesterday and couldnt get enough of their dialogue. Maybe in a DLC hopefully? Would be great to see an older, more experienced, but still insanely humorous Wade smith some epic sword.

I should bookmark this thread to save for when DA3 is released. It will be nice to see how the same names respond to Sandal getting a darkspawn scene and pre-boss store section again.
