Will there be a special concerning the combo system?
I have some problems to get an overview and to sort that thing out.

Its always bothered me how most of the mages that are hiding from the Templars are dressed like mages, and or have mages staffs. I want to see a character that looks and acts like a professional warrior, as well as weals a big ass sword, but turns out to be a mage, that likes hitting thing with swords. Weapons like poleaxes could easily be staffs in disguise... grrr, maybe I just want my arkan warrior back, I don't know.
lol Yeah, I ended up having Anders with me for many of the times you meet Meredith. Anders, the supposedly deep under cover yet blatantly obvious mage in full apostate regalia, had no issues with meeting face to face with the leader of the people who were hunting him. Heck, even Isabella ran from meeting the Qunari. Meredith, for her part, would stand face to face with Anders and somehow not clue into the fact that a non-Circle wanted apostate mage was standing two feet away from her.Dice Warwick said:
Me too! It's the same problem that Assassin's Creed has. Hiding in plain sight only works when you are actually hiding, not running around town in MAGE'S ROBES with a MAGE STAFF. Replace robes and staff with ASSASSIN'S ROBES and the ASSASSIN'S SYMBOL on the front of your bloody shirt, and you have Assassin's Creed.Dice Warwick said:
Well, everyone does the quests in a different order, since DA2 is sidequest city...hazabaza1 said:
So, it's hard to pinpoint. But I'm done most of the optional stuff (just need to take care of Anders problem), and finished the first quest in the "main" line of DA2.
Reading through all the whinage about Anders' change of character, I think what I found most gratifying about how his story ends was that...
That said...yep, that Monty Python link does quite summarise Anders nicely I think.
Then again, I always thought King Arthur was a bit of a dick to begin with in that movie too so...
There is no doubt Justice's spirit and him accepting it pushed him over the edge...but the gratifying part is that in the finale it is revealed that Anders was at least *open* about going off the edge. The main two faction leaders themselves were just as, if not EVEN MORE insane as Anders - it just took his actions to expose their own insanity by doing what he did...
In short, as much as I disagreed with what Anders had done, I could at least understand and sympathise with his point of view. The ones I could not sympathise with, however, were the two faction leaders who actually had more power to change things than Anders, yet instead of putting it to productive use bickered on and on while quietly cultivating their own private insanity and hiding it away from the world.

At least rouges have outfits that look like the people around them. It would have been simple to have apostate mage outfits be just fancier variation of common cloths or armor, and mage staffs be hidden as canes or pole-arm weapons.Brainst0rm said:
ya, even more when they make an odd comment that is related to them being an apostate.StriderShinryu said:
I never bothered with crowd-control in Origins (except for the occasional War Cry from my Warrior-Champion Warden), but in DA2, I'm finding it essential for the tougher fights of Act 2 and 3. I rely heavily on Anders' Glyph of Paralysis to stop the second and third waves of foes for a few moments (since I'm playing rogue Hawke first time through).
And definitely set up your combat tactics for each character to exploit cross-class combos--they come in really handy as the fights get tougher.

if they had you trying to hide your magic so much of the game would have to be changed. Think about it, if you use a spell in front of a templar youd have to fight him, run, or use persuasion to get out of it. Every time! Imagine all the potentially ruined quests!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but...wasalp said:
isn't it inevitable that whichever sibling you have with you will eventually be taken away until the end? If you don't take them to the deep roads Carver joins the templars and Bethany joins the circle. If you do, they get the taint and either become a Grey Warden or die. So yeah, they were never meant as permanent companions, hence the lack of unique trees.
Yeah. Heck, I tried using a tank a lot and found it was hard just to keep the enemies on the tank at all. If you put a few extra points into other characters constitution and use crowd control and defensive spells well it's not too difficult. Heck, even Fenris makes a pretty good tank. Enemies seem to stick to him a lot anyway, just get the defensive upgrades in his tree and taunt and he's good to go.antipunt said:

I understand that they basically wanted Fenris and Anders to represent the two sides to the whole "Free the Mages" issue, but they went so over the top with it that it's ALL Anders talks about. Merril, on the other hand, is hands down my favorite character in the game. "Isabella said the next time we were here she would show me how to do something called...'bodyshots.'"
