Why hate the camp so damn much? It made sense and it was nice being able to equip people without having to run to a god damned mailbox with a horn on it that sparkled so I could interchange my party members just to get a Maker forsaken ring out of my Maker foresaken pack.

Damn, DA2 needed them all to be at the Hanged Man hanging out like at camp so you could at least friggin' change out "ring" for bloody "ring."


A camp in DA2 wouldn't make sense. Spend 7 years together in the exact same location instead of having their own homes?

The Hanged Man idea coudl've worked if Hawke had the option to "invite all party members to a round of drinks", which would've taken you to a special version of the Hanged Man with all companions sitting there and you being able to change their equipment freely.

But certainly make it clear that it's not that they are ALWAYS in there.

I won't deny that books are almost always better than the movies. Very rarely have I seen a movie be on par with/better than the book it was based off of


Truer words have never been spoken.

Though the book has parts that I am rather glad the movie left out. Also: www.youtube.com/watch

And back on topic, its good to see Mike still responding to people. Of course, the way some immediately attack the devs whenever they post, I am surprised we still get any answers to our questions.

Why wasn't this impemented in the game? Not to mention, you could have interacted with your companions more that way. I could've asked how Aveline was currently doing with Donnic. For instance, when do they plan to get children, does she any extra gurad work(sidequests), how does she of Donnic in comparison to Wesley etc, etc.

Return of the King? The Lord of the Rings films were so much better than the books that I want to cry. Tolkien was a fantastic world-builder. He created a stunning setting with incredibly rich lore. But he was a pretty awful story-teller.

Not when you cut or screw up important key parts of the story like RoTK did, Two Towers and FotR where better then the books tho.:?

You're right, Peter Jackson didn't win any awards for "braindead" but that was still a great movie.

I agree. That's like saying The Witcher 2 wins GOTY, yet a person didn't enjoy it that much, and another person brings up that it won GOTY. It's a stupid argument(no offense, Ishmael).

That's because you're Mr. House... and as we all know, the House always wins.

Of course, I pulled that dehydrated rotting husk right out of his little happy capsule, but that's another story.  Posted Image
