Dragon Age II: The Quickening

[BillyG]

Lord, I don't know how you already put ~90 hours into this but bravo sir.

[Matt]

90? more like 65.

Also, I was out sick for 1.5 days last week.

[BillyG]

Your games only lasted 30 hours? My one play through, which I did 100% of the companion and side missions, and all the Fed Ex missions went between 40-45 hours.

[Matt]

You must have taken the scenic route.

[Captain Russ]

It doesn't take that long to burn through it.

Though my fucking rogue is now idling in the thaig with an "unable to load area" message blocking the path forward.

[Matt]

Can you go back to the prior save and try and re-enter the Deep Roads?

As for total-time-played...I'm pretty sure that my first playthrough clocked in at something like 31-32 hours, and my second playthrough came in at 33-34 hours. I missed a couple of things on my first playthrough (and I didn't have Sebastian) that I caught up with on my second one.

[Captain Russ]

I'll give it a shot later today, but if it ends up slapping me in the face with that error again, I guess I'll just have to go do something productive for once.

And I really don't want to do that today.

(Rogues are ridiculously awesome and I want to knife sumbitches past Year One.)

[Matt]

Hell yes on the Rogue. The warrior was fun, but I must admit to taking control of Isabella quite a few times just to have fun with her rogue skills.

[Matt]

Russ: were you ever able to get past that glitch?

I have to say, it's kinda odd that my first playthrough seemed flawless (I don't remember a single bug effecting my gameplay) yet my second playthrough was hosed with a BUNCH of bugs.

I'm dabbling a bit on a third playthrough as a mage, all modded out. My goal is to be at 100% rivalry with everyone...it's fun to be the asshole and just SHUT DOWN the inane 'getting to know you' and 'let's talk about my problems' banter from everyone.

[Captain Russ]

Strangely, I just started it back up from its last autosave (which is exactly what I had done the night previous, to no avail) and it loaded just fine.

Now I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Errditt: My Ladyhawke is a catty motherscratcher. Put the smackdown on errybody and their incessant whining. Feels good man. AND SHUT UP MERRILL. YOU SUCK.

[BillyG]

I keep reading all these "omg merrill is welsh and so hot and omfg why aren't all the females welsh" posts and I just keep thinking, Welsh or not, she's an annoying fuck.

[Captain Russ]

And fucking dumb as hell.

No wonder they wanted her clownass outta the camp.

[Matt]

I don't mind Merrill. She's naive, not DUMB. She has some great, funny as hell side conversations with Isabela, and she kicks ass as a nuker.

[Captain Russ]

Nah. She dumb.

The templars may have a fucking one-dimensional McCarthy-with-Boobs as their leader, but she's not without a strong argument.

"BLERD MERJERK? IT'S NOT SO BAD."

DERP

(And yes, Señor Enchanto Orsino is also helladumb.)
