Also, I understand your point about how "Darktown" etc. are names of parts of Kirkwall, and I fully understand this, know this, and have made my comments knowing this. (As much as I felt I had to turn my brain off to play DA2, I did still have it engaged enough to take note of this) The difference is however, that names you have provided like "Downtown", and "Upper East Side" are colloquialisms for locations within cities and not official names themselves. They aren't creative or interesting names, they are just names that people use for convenience. Most large cities have a city centre, but if the official name of that city centre was something like "City Central", then the mayor (or whoever came up with the name) would rightly be accused of lacking imagination. These locations actually do, in real life, generally possess a more colourful real name.
Now, whether DA2's names were meant to be colloquialisms or not, the fact remains that it took virtually no creativity to come up with them, and in something that is meant to be in a fantasy setting (and thus not filled with modern day colloquialisms), such terms are immersion breaking for some, and reak of laziness and poor writing in my opinion. Maybe I'm a sucker for traditional old school fantasy cliche, but something that sounds like an old ancient language is much more immersive in a fantasy game, than something that sounds like a bunch of modern Americanisms.

The more I see of legacy the more I think it looks like a less good retelling of Awakening.

Just saw the gameplay demo.
A - the surroundings are so bland I can't believe... Especially after TW2
B - the whole DLC looks like an instance from an MMO, including boss fights... WoW, EQ2, Rift, whatever...
It really does smell that way to me.
If your sibling is on the party select screen (even if grayed out), you will be able to take him/her with you. The devs said there'll be explanation for their presence post act 1.InHarmsWay wrote...
One of the achievements require that your sibling is in your party for this dlc. Does this mean that the only way to get the achievement is by doing it in act 1?

the way I would like to see things happen for DA3 is for your warden to come back and for Hawke to be just a character in your party. It'd be an interesting concept in mind cause you helped create a living breathing character so to speak and you get your old character back! Everyone wins

It's interesting to see what they're trying to do here, and I'm wondering if they've FINALLY accepted the fact of how bad DA2 simply was.
I'm not holding my breathe though and I CERTAINLY will NOT be WASTING my money to buy it on release. The collector in me WILL eventually get it though.
In my overall opinion, we should just drop DA2. It was a disappointment, and I don't think ANY amount of DLC (Which we'll have to PAY for mind you) or paches will fix that. We should just throw all our cards into making DA3 something to remember, like Origins.
If we're going down this road though, I am DEMANDING a FREE love interest DLC pack then. If you're gonna give me a sucky and pointless storyline, at least give me more kissy time with the boys and girls.
Agreed.
Also, am I the only one who found the LI's awful in DA2?
As I like to romance female companions, I had the option of either Ms Smelly Pirate Hooker or Merrill. Merrill almost turns the game into some sort of virtual child molester simulator,

Jesus this looks as horrible or maybe worse than DA2..Well, find out if its decent from player reviews of those who wasted their money.
All DA DLC's have sucked balls so far, the only good one was the release day Shale DLC for Origins.

Personally, I am very confused about the story direction taken with Legacy. One of the major complaints about DA2 is you are stuck in a city, with very few areas to explore. A city that USED to be a prison, which is ironic, because you were pretty much confined to it. And you finally get to venture out into the world... and it's to another prison. Personally, what I was hoping for was maybe some filler between Acts 1 and 2 and Acts 2 and 3. There's a lot that seemed to be missing there story wise. Ah well, I'll wait to read the reviews, and will purchase it if it's any good. I did like most of the ME2 DLC content... so maybe there's some hope.
That's what I want to believe as well. It's just that I'm soooooooo worn out with Hawke and his uncompelling saga. I know there are those around here who are going to get this from day one, some of them have higher standards than others and actually take the time to post honest reviews instead of the typical game studio worship that comes common with most gaming forums.
I'll wait to see what they have to say about it.
Hawke has more background than any origin, and they have a voice, they're a much better character than the grey boredom
And that's why he/she doesn't feel like your character. With the Grey Warden, you were able to make decisions that would shape his personality

Dislike DAII all you want but THIS is taking it too bloody FAR. Pedophilia is deadly serious and using it to bash a game is lower than low. Would saying "Merrill is not my type." Or "Merrill is too immature for my taste." have been so hard?

Where? And responses my Warden receives do not adapt to her "personality" at all. They might as well have been talking to a ghost. Or a "deer in the headlight".......Wait........the Warden's only visible emotion WAS that hideous "deer in the headlights" insane stare.[smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/wink.png[/smilie]

Oh puh-LEEZ, Ronin was obviously exaggerating. Though yes, Merrill does act and look far too child-like with the romance scene just being plain awful. "I LOVE YOU HAWKE (oh btw i'm not a child, honest!)"

Athenril kicks ass. I like her quite a bit. Good to see an elf in charge for a change!
