I've been enjoying Dragon Age 3, but it takes a bit to get rolling.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly.

I'm trying to play through the entire series again before I start Inquisition. Currently a bit over halfway done with origins. Forgot how much fun I had with this.jdodge1019: hasjghsalghsakljghs is from vermont

Love it.
I've had the alpha for over a year now and basically every other month, I start it up and play for several hours. It's a great game. It ticks all the right boxes for me... the management, the building... jeez, I spend HOURS of my time in the planning mode, just mapping out how I want my cell blocks to look, trying to chart out a maximum efficiency design... it's addictive.
Speaking of which, I might pick up Evil Genius. It looks pretty similar and it's cheap.green shirt thursdays- hasdgfas

Because they keep changing the engine. It's not like the combat in the first Dragon Age was that great; I remember it being really slow.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly.

I liked the combat in DA2. The encounter design was terrible, but the combat itself in terms of ability usage felt really fluid. In DA3 it typically feels like too much of a hassle to use the tactical camera, but combat feels pretty boring if you don't micromanage a little bit.
I'm on my second DA3 playthrough now. Rogue Archer Nightmare run. It's not too bad so far. I figure I just have to massively outlevel "that one boss," and I'll be home-free!- Sudo_Nym

Which boss fight do you mean? I'm still on my first playthrough (needed to upgrade my computer, so I started late) playing as Knight-Enchanter Mage, and the only boss I've had significant difficulty with wasDenam during the attack on Haven. Alexius wasn't that bad, but the teleporting made him annoying.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies.

Yeah, that's the boss fight. On my Hard playthrough I just finished I had to cheese the encounter by continuously running back tothe Chantryand exploiting that some of the enemies would deaggro. :p
If you're playing as a Knight Enchanter, the game is trivial on basically any difficulty from what I understand (i.e., once you're past that boss fight and have unlocked specializations). Make an on-hit guard armor for added hilarity. Do the same for Vivienne for more silliness. I think (this one's not a story spoiler)one of the locked doors in Redcliffe may always have Fade-touched Obsidian, which I think always gives the effect.- Sudo_Nym

I picked Knight Enchanter just because I really liked Arcane Warrior in the first game, but it is a little ridiculous. So far, I haven't bothered making my endgame armor, since I haven't gotten the tier three stuff yet, but turning damage into barrier is a bit ridiculous. Good aim with a fire mine basically makes you invincible for the rest of combat.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies.

Also (about the attack on Haven)I'm told that the fight is a lot easier if you side with the Templars, since Fiona is a lot squishier than Denam. But I've also heard that the boss at the end of the Templar arc is harder than Alexius, so maybe it washes.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies.

I've actually heard the opposite. I've been dreading going thetemplar pathon my nightmare run for just that reason. :p
Denamhimself isn't that hard if you can isolate him from his support. He's pretty slow and you can avoid his abilities if you don't have to worry about other units staggering you.- Natirasha

Anyone else been playing around with the Halo 5 Beta? This week its AR + Magnus loadout locked for those who don't like playing BRs.
Its decent enough, still get the feeling that they are adding new things to make it not be the same old game, but I miss Halo 2 and 3 still where it was very pure basic BR type play.- Untrod Tripod
