Dragon Age Origins.
Firing up a new character with the goal of romancing Morrigan, or bedding her at least, then going for the With Hunt dlc after the ending. This one's going to be my bad guy run. He'll probably be an Arcane Warrior/Blood Mage, love that setup. -------------------- A mind without purpose will walk in dark places

Well I've never gone through Witch Hunt, and figured it's make more sense with a character who'd gotten horizontal with her.
Generally I leave Morrigan in camp once I get Wynne. -------------------- A mind without purpose will walk in dark places

I am trying Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning again. Is there any way to stand with your sword out? My character keeps sheathing the blasted thing every five seconds, including when I am in a fight! That includes when I use the block button. She immediately sheathes the sword then and puts her hands up instead. (Apparently one would have to be crazy to use that five feet of steel to block attacks with, not when you have your bare hands instead!).

There's a spell that you can use to regenerate health quickly too...
Sadly - and this isn't a shock at the mo - I'm having difficulty remembering all the names of stuff... Having just asked the daughter for confirmation, you can sleep in the inns dotted about the place...I say sleep...It's much like Oblivion...Click on bed/time passes... You can also acquire several houses too for the use of storage/rubbish chucking etc...The first of which is in the early section of the map...The only thing I can remember though, is that there's this long questline to do with a missing expedition and spiders... Can't help you with the ward dispelling...None of us have ever bothered with it... Lockpicking we found easy after FO3...Even McWife got that quickly... But I know what you mean about the lack of manual... Glad you found out what was wrong with the shield thing... My magic knight was pretty much as I usually play...I just got used to the sword/shield thing...I don't recall having any problems with it...Mind you, I did kinda use the honking great electric chakrams pretty often...Sweeeet!!...My smithing - shockingly enough - was also top of the line...Kerching!!... |

I loved the simple elegance of how they handled sleep in Baldur's Gate II. Once you selected sleep, it faded to one of three short little animated scenes (instead of staring at some stupid countdown menu). The scenes were location-dependent depending on where you were when you chose to sleep. One was of a room at an inn, sort of a shot of the bed that even had a little mouse squeak and run under the bed. Another was in a generic dungeon with a tiny campfire that flickered away with some creepy music. And the last one was out under the stars in a forest of a tent, with campfire and crickets chirping. Pretty low tech, but I found the mechanic delightfully elegant and immersive.
I think that's why (despite using the mod 'See You Sleep') I've always been unhappy about staring at a stupid menu countdown as you sleep in Oblivion. BGII is an ancient game but they had OB beat on that one. This post has been edited by Acadian: Dec 20 2013, 07:16 PM -------------------- |
