I tried to set up the Twitch app for my iPad, but it refuses to find the Xbox channel. As for what to expect, I have no idea. I think the EA one on Wednesday is the big one, but don't quote me on it. I'm new to this gaming con thing.
I bookmarked it on my iPad. Lets hope it works tomorrow! Would be awesome if I didn't even have to get out of bed lol
8 and a half hours until the Microsoft Press Conference. Hoping the teasing from Microsoft means a new trailer!
snip
i hope so, too. i'm not accustomed to being teased by xbox as well. i'm glad they're showing enthusiasm and respect for dai, though. i don;t think da really gets the respect it deserves in the "industry". perhaps that will change after dai.
ah, my fangirl is showing, isn't it?
on that note..goodnight.
and i'll leave you all w/ a sweet sweet romantic song that i forgot i loved--norah jones: come away with me. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=QKEuOO0lQPc
Really OT here, but when you guys played DA:O, did any of you start to burn out near the end? I'm only on my first playthrough (56 hours and counting so far), and right now I'm trudging through the Deep Trenches towards Branka. When I first started a few months ago, I found that I blasted through the first bit of the game fairly quickly, but lately I've been having to take prolonged breaks from it or else I end up drowsing off in my chair.
It's nothing against the game itself, because I'm dying to see the rest of the storyline and I adore it overall. (I really want to hurry up and get back to Denerim and the Landsmeet and the Alienage) I think it might be the gameplay? I adore tactical games, and I ended up increasing the difficulty up to hard (not nightmare this time round), but since I have all my tactics in place and I'm near level cap, I'm just grinding and the macro is getting kind of tedious. Do any of you have any tips? I'm playing a human rogue, if that helps at all.
I'm dying to get to DA:II (not just to see Cullen, but to be able to experience and play through what I've been hearing about for so long), but I refuse to skip over DA:O when I'm so close to finishing. And I know that importing isn't really a problem here because of the Keep, but I dunno. :S I'm an absolute completionist. I have to finish things for myself, it's not enough to just watch the rest on youtube. I have 9 separate completionist playthroughts of ME1, and the shortest I've been able to do absolutely everything in that game is 15 hours, but I don't think I'll be able to do something like that for DA:O. Plus I'm awfully attached to my Cousland Warden, so I don't think I'd be able to make another one in any case, and the least I can do for her is see the rest of her story through.
EDIT: and since this is top post and it's super OT, have a Cullen:

It's an unpopular opinion, but I do find DAO tedious, especially since I played the faster-paced and more modern DA2 first. It is just very long, and gameplay is a bit slow in comparison.
The story is great, of course; too bad you can't just sit back and watch a cinematic of the rest of the narrative, haha 
I played rogues, too, both times, but don't really have any tips, sorry... there will come a point where you decide that if you have to kill yet another Deepstalker you just might throw your TV/PC out the window, though. Fair warning

Ah, okay. :S I accidentally discovered how to make paralysis explosions a few hours ago, but the novelty has worn off. I'll just keep trudging through then. I've got until November, after all. 
Thanks!
You're doing Orzammar as the last main quest, right? I always find Orzammar to be a pain, but it picks back up after that.
Hey Eric, could you please post the different time zones for me please?
For Gamescom, that is.

Yes. It is very... very long. I ended up accidentally publicly siding with Harrowmont because I just blasted through his quests, but I think I'm going to crown Bhelen. I sort of wish I had saved the Urn of Sacred Ashes for last, because that is by far my favourite quest line so far. But it's good to know that it picks up the pace again afterwards!
5 hours til the Microsoft conference! Do you guys think we're just going to get a mention and/or a trailer, or something more substantial? Personally, I think we'll just get a trailer at the most, but any news at this point is something new to pounce on.

Yeah, you run around the deep roads for a LONG time before actually getting anywhere interesting. I hope the "massive open world" isn't mostly deep roads...
Thank you! You're the best!
You're most welcome

Ah yes, don't worry, it's not just you. It is incredibly long. But it's good that you're doing it last because it was designed as higher difficulty than the other ones. I was really happy with what came afterward so I hope you get back into it again.
Any news will be better than the nothing we've been getting but I don't think we'll get much there.
I'll uploading some of my let's play tomorrow!
@loom, I absolutely despised the deep roads. I was so glad when it was finally over.
YES
I liked Orzammar tho

I think I'm nearly halfway? I just killed that stupid corrupted spider queen and got to the Deep Trenches. 
I ended up just making my party members hide around the corner, and then I'd lure the queen over to us and get Wynne to do paralysis explosions. It took forever. But it was either that or get continually overwhelmed and webbed by her creepy little minions. I wish I had taken Morrigan with me instead of Oghren, but I think I'd have had to switch them out later on anyway, so oh well. :S
Needless to say, going off of our discussion from this morning about spiders, the Deep Roads have not endeared them to me at all. I think I hate the Deep Roads more than I hated the Fade.
Also, I'm not sure, but are the Fade segments in DA:O and DA:II universally hated or something? Because there was a post going around on tumblr a while back that went something like:
DA:O: "F*** THE FADE"
DA:2: "S***T NOT AGAIN"
Bioware: ...
DA:I: "LET'S SEE YOU AVOID THE FADE NOW B****ES"
Ugh, the DA spiders. Especially the ones that fall on you from the ceiling 
And yeah, lots of people hate the Fade in DAO because it takes forever. I ended up using the skip the fade mod in my later games.

DA:O The Fade was just as annoying with all those fade puzzles... I didn't think the Fade in DA:2 was too terrible. No idea what to think about Inquisition, but it looks like they changed some stuff up? So maybe it won't be so bad.

There's a mod for that? I have to find it!

Yes there is Find it, make your life better You get all the bonuses too. Pretty sure it's called skip the fade.
Yes there is
Now that's one heck of a power nap.
Yes there is
That mod sounds awesome! Too bad I'm on xbox >.>
Now that's one heck of a power nap.
Yep, I'm sure Solas would love it.
