Dragon Age II: The Quickening

[Matt]

This comes out in early March. Troy, which retailer has the best pre-order deal as far as exclusive swag goes?

[Matt]

and is ANYONE ELSE looking forward to this? I know that I wasn't the only DA:O fan in here (at least on the PC).

[BillyG]

I've had mine pre-ordered for quite a while now. And Amazon typically has the best pre-order bonus, because most new releases Amazon just throws $10-$20 Amazon credit at you to put toward another game that gives another $10-$20 credit and so on and so forth until before you know it you've had a few games paid for by Amazon.

I don't have a lot to say about the game though, because not much has been shown off. I know the "action" combat is supposed to be revamped to be a bit less pause-click on action-watch combat-pause click-repeat, but they haven't released any videos I've seen detailing it. The one thing I am uncertain of is that the game is told in flashback, so we are REALLY going to explore deep before moving to the next "era" or however it's deemed.

[Captain Russ]

Waiting with bated breath for the release.

It will no doubt rule my life for however long the story is, and far beyond.

The Tent had better fucking make a return...

[Matt]

Anyone do the demo yet? I tried downloading it last night but kept running into errors...it'd download correctly and then crap out at the very last moment with some sort of 'timeout' error.

[Matt]

ONE MORE DAY.

I played the demo once more over the weekend...I'm digging on the style/feel of it more and more.

[Shit Dickface]

I seriously do not need any more games right now, but I want this one hard. I still need to get Bulletstorm too. Sonofabitch.

[Captain Russ]

Pre-order for mine is delayed in shipping.

I am a sad.

[Matt]

that sucks. I've got mine pre-ordered from Gamestop, and I got the confirmation phone call yesterday from MS ROBOTIC VOICE. was HOT.

[Shit Dickface]

Haha Matt calls them back and asks them to resend the prompt call again.

EDITED FOR CONTENT: Dan over at TFL sez:

"Very good, sometimes excellent...First playthrough took around 45 hours, and that was doing every side quest I could find. I reached level 22. But I can tell from the Achievements that there are some major questlines I missed out on, presumably because of the class I chose or the alliances I picked."

[Matt]

45 hours was about the timespan it took to bang out DA:O. Very nice.

Now, we just need boob mods.

[Captain Russ]

I will take Isabella to the tent.

Again and again.

[Matt]

It's all about the tent, baby.

[Captain Russ]

Cancelled my pre-order.

I am going to take my LARPsword up to Gamestop and demand a copy tomorrow OR THERE WILL BE A THWACKIN'

(Or I'll just wait until after the move like a spineless troll)

[Matt]

Time to make the gals master my taint.
