Anyone else playing the game? I got it on release date and read some reviews. Some people love it, others are pretty meh about it! Me? I'm loving it! Haven't went a day without playing for a few hours since release! Thoughts? Opinions? This is my Hawke(female of course as well as warrior class!):

I predict this thread will be quite popular :P
... is it bad that when I first looked at that I saw Rose, Peggy and Raon hair? Lol.
:) I'm such a lurker so I'm trying to get out of that habit! I'm thinking about posting some Sims up for download and spamming the picture thread! But baby steps...baby steps!:)~
Nooo...I kept seeing TS3 Sims when I look at it...especially her mother(the lady on the left!).
Lol okies, no problem :P
That's the one that really made me do a double take! lol
LOVE this game. I took a break from it to play MoH but now I am back to it. I wish there was a way to take pictures of my character on my PS3 :/
I wish the PS3 did have a picture taking feature. That would be cool! But this game is AWESOME! I'm loving it so hard that I'm neglecting everything else! LOL!!
Wait...what is this MoH that you speak of? :)
Some people do videos from their ps3 so there must be a way?
Medal of Honor, the most recent. It's good stuff despite what reviews say :)
I think you have to have that camera for the PS3 or something like that...I can't be sure! I'll have to do a bit of research!
Ahhh....okay! Haha!! Thanks! :)
Sounds like you need a capture card but not everything works. Someone also said hooking up a usb keyboard and hitting printscreen would work, but how do you save it?
Dragon Age 2! Near finishing my second playthrough already ;P Loving it far more than the first one actually, except I can't have DX11 because I'm on XP and not Win7 :( Doesn't really show though, besides on Hawke's clothes. Want to compare Hawkes, people? :D
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1b3_6X41T_c/TX51fUlB1zI/AAAAAAAAAJY/eFC6QbzMadQ/hawkem.jpg)
I rather like my Mage!Hawke Bea. Also, I really really tried romancing someone other than Anders for my second playthrough but I can't just seem to stay away from him. Or my Hawke can't. Heh. Not that I'm really THAT excited about a game character Myself... cough.
Lol, 2nd?! Holy shit! xD
Yeah, i sort of went into a gaming frenzy when I got my sweaty paws on my copy on thursday around noon, and was done around 2am on sunday. That happened last with vampire the masquerade bloodlines! :D
Well apparently it's a really good game and I just don't realize what I am missing :P
OMG Io!!! LOL!! Second play through?? You're killing me!! I get distracted by all the side quests and then I'm torn between Anders and Sebastian(the Scottish accent man!).

Excuse her derp face! She's a fierce warrior! :D This is the only one I could find without her covered in blood!
I always, without fail, pick a female warrior! Maybe next go around I'll pick something different!
Yui, the game is amazing!! I never even finished the first one but I KNOW I'm going to finish this one! And yeah...that's a good question about how you'd save it on the PS3.
I have them in my rental queue but I've yet to get them. I'd prefer to try something before I buy it... though I did find a pack on amazon with the first and the expansion for under $50. Was kinda surprised. *huggles amazon*
Now that I see her up close, she totally isn't using a peggy hair :P
*group hug with amazon* Gosh, I ♥ that place something fierce! That's where I get all my games...and everything!
It makes sense that you'd want to try it before buying...sometimes I wish I did that! >:(
LOL!! :D No, it has the little braids in the hair! I did like the hair options they have though...
I used to get things off ebay but the last couple times I got screwed, so I moved on to amazon. Between that and Etsy I could get myself in some trouble :P
I think someone should make a similar hair... <.< >.> hehe
ok now I'm going to have to figure out how to take a pic of my Hawke. >.>
I'm back to playing today. I have the whole weekend to delve deep into it some more. XD
@Yui I only got one thing off of ebay and that was a book so it wasn't that big of a deal! I've heard stories about ebay(good and bad!) so it all depends yeah? Oh gosh! Etsy is full of win!! :D
Someone should TOTALLY do that hair! LOL!!
@Kar I found this (http://www.ehow.com/how_7733204_save-pictures-ps3-video-games.html) tutorial about hooking things up and blah, blah, blah but then I read about the PS3 eye sooo...I guess there is a way if you really want to take pictures! :D Yesterday was my Friday so I've been gaming all day!
She could try the PS3 eye method, she has it :)
I never used to have problems with ebay, but last year I just had nothing but bad luck. It's okay though, I was surprised to find amazon has pretty good deals too.
hm. that sound complicated. The sad thing with the PS3 is you can't zoom into your characters so it wouldn't be a good pic :/
I only had trouble with amazon once but that was with a seller. ebay i've had a lot of problems with :/
How goes the game, ladies?
OMG!! SOOOO good! I'm at the beginning of the second Act(I think!). Maybe more towards the middle because of all the side quests. I have to do the side quests!:P And I got Sebastian. The prince from the DLC! I want to romance him so hard! That Scottish accent kills me!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v642/Phoenix_fearn/Gaming/Dragon%20Age%20II/Screenshot20110317020833475.jpg)
"Oh! Haha! I must go pray...a lot!"
That's what he was saying in that picture while I was trying to romance him. Darn Chantry man! :P
How's it going for you? I
Rofl oh boy. Maybe it's a good thing I don't play this game xD
Waaaait!! Hold the phone!! You don't play???
Nah, I'm still waiting for my rental company to send it. For some reason they've stopped following the priority list.
no, she hasn't even played the first one :P Trying to work on that :P
Anywho. I am royally stuck in mine. I'm close to the end of Act 2 and have to defeat the Arishok. He's so dang hard! I have yet to have luck with romancing anybody. Aveline totally rejected Hawke :(
But but... isn't Hawke pretty?? Silly girl.
he's gorgeous. don't know what is wrong with her!!!
@Yui: Ahhh...after I posted that I was like: "Oh wait! She gets them delivered!* facepalm* But I didn't realize you hadn't played the first one yet! O_o You must! I haven't beat the first one yest but...it has ALASTAIR!!! :D
@Kar: I didn't even try to romance Aveline. I saw the look in her eyes for a certain fellow so I didn't bother!:P Ohhh...you have to fight the Arishok! He got soooo upset in my game I leaned back from the computer! Haha!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v642/Phoenix_fearn/Gaming/Dragon%20Age%20II/Screenshot20110320190253348.jpg)
I downloaded that texture replacement thing. I can tell the difference with different lights!
He doesn't have a shit attitude does he? :/
Haha, that sounds promising.
Alastair <3 <3 <3
Yea. He's one angry guy but I can only assume it'll get harder after him >.>
Indeed!!! ♥♥♥
Gah!! I'm getting ready to boot up the game. I'll probably get to him sometime tonight! If I can stop taking side quests! Do you take them all or no? And I'm too nice I think! I can't refuse a request! Next play through I might just be a mean Hawke!
I have done all the quests XD
I think my next time around I'd like to be a girl. Just to see how it changes the story around.
Have they released a patch for the PS3 yet? I downloaded the patch and the high res package.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v642/Phoenix_fearn/Gaming/Dragon%20Age%20II/Screenshot20110317015039426.jpg)
That's after installing the high res package. You have to have direct x11 which some people don't have yet which kinda sucks. Doesn't really make that HUGE of a difference. Still nice though!:P
Next go around I'm going to be a guy to see what the difference is!:D
hm. not that I have noticed. I'll check next time I play. I'm kinda taking a break from it since I've been obsessed with it ever since I got it XD
holy hell that looks gorgeous
LOL Yui!! I thought so too! I think it's the light streaming in from the other caverns!
Yes! I love that. Uggh, I hope they'll send it to me soon. Though I have to finish Castlevania first >.>
i hope they send it too. it's really an awesome series. i know there are people out there who hate it but i just don't see how.
Yeah, can't please everyone. I'm just glad it's not turn based fighting. It would kill any interest I have in it right away.
nah. you can switch between character all through-out battles. that's why I like it so much, especially if someone is dying. you can heal them.
ah kk, that's cool
oh my goodness gracious. I was in high heaven last night. I defeated the Arishok and someone I adore showed up! XD
*throws confetti* :P
Ohhhh!!! I think I know who it is!! :P
lol :P
it was an accomplishment that's for sure :P
I restarted my game over as I got royally stuck with one of the story plots. :/
I created a new character, a female rogue Hawke :)
That's the character I'm playing now.
Sharing new Hawke now! :P

I'm now trying to romance Anders! Because he's awesome!
haha so am I! :D
While it's not the second game, my rental company is finally sending me origins :)
YAY!!!!
Who cares!? It's still Dragon AGE!!! :D
(http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu234/cheekiemii/dancing_cat.gif)
lol awesomeness. I think you'll really enjoy it :)
LOL love that cat XD
Hmm. I played for three hours and... I'm not sure I like it :/
In any case, my character Miccah (taken by phone so... meh):
(http://i.imgur.com/9uf3o.jpg)
maybe you'll like it the more you play it. I know it took me a while to really enjoy it. Granted I think DA2 is so much better, minus not having Alistair <3
From threads and everything I've seen the people that LOVED the first one didn't necessarily like the second and people who LOVED the second find the first one meh! *shrug*
Like Kar said it may take some time fr the storyline to suck you in!:P
what if you liked both? :P (raises hand)
Yeah, but you said you liked DA2 more(minus not having Alistair) so you liked one more than the other yeah? :P
lol yea, I suppose you are right. :P but I did like DA1. I just like the gameplay of DA2 better :P
I do like Alistair. He makes me laugh :P
he is freakin' adorable. I love him so much. <3
...And of course, my first post here is Dragon Age related!
This is my goofy Hawke, Braxton. He's a mage, romanced Anders... And obviously took the snarky options most of the time. <3
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v653/tearzofrain615/DragonAge/DragonAge22011-03-2902-23-39-43-1-1.jpg)
While the game has it's flaws, I enjoyed myself immensely. Can't wait to play again!
Hey Van_Squirgle! I recognize your name from LJ yeah? :) Welcome!!:D
Haha!! I'm doing another play through now as a male Hawke! I kept the default guy because he looked awesome but your guy is sooo cute!! :) I'm trying to rivalmance Fenris this time around!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v642/Phoenix_fearn/Gaming/Dragon%20Age%20II/Mage/Screenshot20110426001258913.jpg)
And I'm with you on the flaws and playing again!:P
I really wish I liked the first game as much as everyone else seems to, but I am underwhelmed =/
Ooh, they have a pretty :P
I still have to finish the first but I'm totally liking the second better. Although there are things I wish they kept from the first to the second but...meh!
i think if you had the chance to have your own copy it might be better, but i like da2 better. but nobody tops my love of alistair <3
Yeah I've heard the 2nd is better. I'll rent it too I guess just to see, but idk.
Hawke is yum in DA2
Well, dang near anything the creaters make is done for a purpose, typically attractive enough to make you not vomit when you see them every time you load the game.
I hate to admit it, but DA1 and DA2 just were just okay to me. I liked the style and the map features of the 2nd, and the semi open world of the first, but I've played other games far more and with far more fervor. To me--and this is why you also shouldn't feel bad about it Yui--they were meh, okay. Something to play, but the want lacked.
I wouldn't say I feel bad about it. I had the game for like 2 weeks and played maybe 3 times? I mean, it wasn't horrible or anything, it just seemed extremely slow to me, and I don't know... I'd rather play the Tomb Raider trilogy and I've already played the games a couple times, you know? I really need to pick up Assassin's Creed Brotherhood again...
if we are going to compare...Assassin's Creed has nothing on DA. AC is something I can play and play and not get bored of. DA...I have to really WANT to play it or bored of any other games I have XD

My graphics card is dying so it looks kind of crunchy, but there's Penelope. Finally got Dragon Age II last Monday because it was %25 off on Steam. I'm enjoying it but I'm definitely going to play through again when I'm finished.
What class is she? Rogue? They have some moves for sure! I'm on my 4th play through...I enjoy it. But Witcher 2 is coming out next week so that will be eating my time as well! :P
Good to see you around! :)
Ohh, I thought you already had the game. Wonder how long this one will take you :P
i haven't even beat it once because i didn't like how it was turning so I started over >.>
Ah that's right :/
I had it preordered but I had to cancel the preorder because I needed to work on school. So I was going to get it for myself as a reward for finishing school. But then it was 25% off... >_> I couldn't resist.
My brother is home visiting so I haven't had much time to play, but Steam says "15 hours played." And that's since last Monday. 15 hours in 2 weeks when normally it'd be 15 hours in 2 days xD
She is a rogue. I mostly only play rogues. I like being able to unlock things. ;D I also like dual-weapon talents.
you'll probably fly through it once he's gone then :P
