Something I gotta know... Mage Hats: are they still retarded?
very much so. the whole mage itemisation is still either weak or ugly looking. I found a pretty nice bloodmage robe but it looks like a tavern wenchs nightgown, i cant possibly wear that, so i stick with my red tevinter robe from the alienage.
btw. did i read correctly, the inability to import items/skills/spells from prior dlc is not a bug but intended and will never come? now that really sucks. i want my bloodbolt back, damnit!
I'd like to use the opportunity to adress a few other issues in awakening. first of all, the lack of romancing seems to bother a lot of people. I'd like to add that although the approval system is still in place, you cant have discussions with your party members back in camp or anytime you want anymore. instead you can click on certain objects on certain places in the world and a context sensitive discussion will be started with the appropriate party member. that's different but i kinda like it. the only problem is you'll probably miss a lot of the dialogue because you have to go everywhere with each character. but i can assure you the dialogue is as good as it was in origins and the characters are very cool and aimable.
the main story on the other side is not very exciting I have to admit, and I'm about 5 hours in the game, but i did mainly sidequests so far. it just lacks some of that good old epicness, it feels much more like a clean up of the main game.
the new specialisations can only be bought in stores and that very early in the game, and I have to say the new mage specs are not that good. (i want the bloodbolt back btw)
combat, as i have already stated is still very much the same. i have to say, dragon age origins had the best combat system I have ever seen in an rpg and i play the genre since the early ultimas and might and magics. but after the 8593rd group of thugs and hurlocks i have just seen it, honestly. but I'm still hoping for some exciting boss battles à la flemeth or uldred.
well, thats if for now, i'm gonna get justice now, i'm really looking forward to meeting him.
if you have any questions and can endure my english feel free to ask.
btw. i want my bloodbold back, i really miss it.
