I'm actually having a much easier time with my rogue than with my warrior. He just kills people so fast. Combat stealth is an instant agro drop, but you wont get that right away. Try building one with Momemtum as quick as possible. Best ability ever ;D Str isnt needed beyond 20 (fadeboost included) dex about 26 ( +2 from assassin/duelist). The rest for cunning and you will see some high numbers ;D

with str so low how do you equip the better longswords?

 

[Morgoth]

as rogue you dont need allot of strengt and as rogue you mainly use dager type weapons or bows
warrior mainly used Strengt based weapons
Dualist can use can use degers, and at the end dual handend long swords

Arcane warrior mage an use warrior weapons and doest need strengt, only magic
they can also use heavy armour,
arcane warrior is the moost strongest class in the game and its realy deadly
its like a zealot, archon from starcraft

Return to Ostegar DLC is now available.

Is this game really that good or should I wait for the new Oblivion game said to get released sometime in late 2010

So I finally got a bit of time before BC2 comes out to play some. Been working on my Human Warrior, and then I realize that Dual Wielding can allow your character to use dual 2 handers. I have so far been running as 2 handed spec. But I'm wondering, would picking up the talents only for dual wielding 2 handers add a lot to my setup, I would imagine it would, but then I'm not sure if it would lock out my current abilities, or if it would change the damage arc I seem to have to targets alongside my main target.

huh, sorry I never read your question.. dagger damage is based on dex, so you will want to use them. also in awakenings there is a 100% backstab dagger which completely dwarfs any longsword you may find.

I've had this game for awhile now, bought it off steam, but only played about 4hrs worth, I didnt get bored of it, I just had to reinstall my system again plus I had to play other games that I wanted to finish first, should I download it again and play it, I heard it was kinda like mass effect but medieval fantasy times

Play it....

Dunno were it's like Mass Effect lol. It owns Mass Effect but it's more my type of game and not saying Mass Effect was a bad game as it was another i enjoyed playing but did not get withdraw symptoms from ME like i did with DA ..

DLC's are fair lame really for DA but one good thing is how they are setup point wise when buying them unlike MS were you end up over paying so MS get to hold some of ya hard earned money.

haha you gotta be kidding right.. i'm on my third playthrough of ME2 and it's miles ahead of DA. DA's monsters get really boring after awhile - half the monsters you fight are just different iterations of darkspawn and they all look alike. the story's not too shabby but some parts are just plain long and drawn out i.e the fade. also, the fact that the game is extremely unbalanced and biased towards mages is quite abit of a turnoff. ME2, on the other hand, was a masterpiece.

Sorry sounds good to me lol. About time they got nurfed hated them in NWN1\2 they are way to powerful for other chars and one who gets hit the worsted was the archer lol.

ME2 not played it, and it be a loong time until i do because i don't need some game to decide when crouch or not i'm fully able to press buttons to do this. I liked the story to ME1 but taking out the mach pissed me off ( unless it is there or been added ) and there is a few other things i don't like about the game. The game sounds to console ish and simple for my liking. IMO for a game to be a masterpiece to me it needs no cutdown console ish BS for me as i'm a PC gamer unless i had it on a console which will not happen either lol.. Simple games or games made simple bored the crap out of me which are all none coop games if in MP.

People don't like complicated games no more with loads of keys and game companys eat it up as it makes it easier for them too. Like i hated fast traveling in OB or FO3 it just cheapens the game and you complete it sooner which will not do you any good in the end.

haha i guess we're just different then. thank god for fast travelling. you seriously like crawling through 20 mins backward fighting the same monsters after forgetting to pick up something you left in town halfway across the map?

you should give me2 a shot. i agree me1 was good, but me2 trumps it every single way. they really fixed everything that was bad with me1. the game doesn't get boring at all, story is amazing, gameplay's just smooth as pie (whereas DA gets choppy in some areas). it just seems like the game devs really put a tonne of effort into me2. and yeah i get what you mean by consolish games. i myself am a pc gaming fan, and wouldn't buy a console over a new graphic card, but me2 doesn't have that feel, even though it was released on the other platforms as well. it's as much as pc game as any, and definitely worth a shot.

if you compare me1 to da, i could give it to you. but da doesn't have a shot against me2 in my books

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

me2 is better you say??? i remember in more then 1 situation my AI partners would run out and get shot in the face and die multiple times at least with ME1 the ai was more passive and you had more control. in dragon age i have complete control if i so choose eitherway im not really impressed with any of them like Oblvion fallout 3 there all mediocure great concept good ideas but overall poor execution in key areas

 

[mdsx1950]

+1 to athenaesword

I agree, Mass Effect 2 kept you interested at all times. DA:O was definitely one of the best RPG games i've played in years. But Mass Effect 2 gets my vote. Btw long time no see athenaesword

true that.. if there's one complaint i have with me2 it's that the AI isn't the brightest out there. i don't really have an argument for that - all i can say is it's a minor annoyance rather than a dealbreaker (which i guess defers for the individual), whereas dragon age got so boring at points it just killed it for me.
