Which Bioshock game Liz? And I'm zapping my way through Dragon Age: Origins with my elven mage. Got the difficulty set on nightmare, so the game's putting up a good fight. But so far it's losing.

But so far it's losing.  Excellent choice. One of my all time favourite games. Now that you've mentioned it I might have to replay it myself for the 384759275th time I'm currently playing through Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag, since it was free on the Xbox One. Got 100% completion on the 360 version so I might try for it again here.

So far he's: I'm thinking this guy might be my anti-hero character, being a right bastard about saving Ferelden.

Well, my bastard run at Dragon Age Origins continues, he's now wrapped up the business with the treaties, for maximum pragmatism of course. In all honesty, it's getting kind of boring. Nightmare difficulty is no match for an Arcane Warrior with massive armour, boss fights tend to come down to him wearing the thing down while the rest of the party go down. Takes a while, but the guy's practically unkillable, so he's got the time.

Arcane Warrior with the right stats, right abilities and right equipment can solo the final boss. Tis a pretty OP class, really.

Yeah, it's one of those classes that throws balance clean out the window. I'm actually considering ditching this run. The plan was to take the character into Witch Hunt, but with how dull this monster's making the game, it might just ruin it. I've got a couple of other character planned; another mage; Blood Mage/Spirit Healer or possibly Arcane Warrior(not for the talents beyond combat magic's ability to expand equipment choices), and a sword and shield fighter, I'm thinking Berserker/Reaver for something more offensive.

You could try one of my builds that is just so mediocre in a fight. Basicay, this build's all about Talking For The Group, and when negotiations die and violence ascends, he goes at the party's flank and throws bombs and other harmful flasks while healing and supporting the other party members.
It was a fun challenge.
The focus shifted from the main character to maintaining proper growth on the others.

Well I've not taken a proper crack at either style of character in DA:O. I took a stab at an S&S fighter, but it was pretty boring, though Berserker/Reaver should give him a more offensive setup. And without the Arcane Warrior's resilience the mage could be pretty interesting, give me an opportunity to use more of the spells, there's a fair few I've not tried out.
I figure I'll try something that isn't insanely overpowered on Nightmare before trying something more limiting.
Edit: Scratch that, Champion/Reaver, not Berserker/Reaver
edit 2: Actually, either might be fun...
