Dragon Age III: InquisitionFollow

Flip "PC Master Race" joke aside, I do hear ya. As I said, I've heard that the "old" console versions of the game really got the shaft. Sure they're not as pretty as the new console versions but that's to be expected. But I understand that they're just straight up not as playable.

That's aside from whether or not you liked the game itself. I sincerely empathize that the old console version is, by reports, an unsatisfying experience. Maybe it would have been better if they took the Ubisoft route (stop laughing, I'm serious!) and just recognized that the older consoles wouldn't have the horsepower for it and made an alternate title. As it turned out, AC: Unity's bugs and general lameness got all the press and hype but I hear that the overshadowed AC: Rogue is actually a pretty solid title if you liked the mechanics from AC3 and Black Flag.

And your service announcement was actually useful since my kid has a PS3 and I'll know to tell him to wait on Inquisition until he can get a PS4. He's seen me playing it so I know he has at least some interest in it but now I can tell him not to waste his money.

I'm always for free skrilla, but I think it's laughable they'll try to sell these tracks after giving them away.

New DLC is out: Jaws of Hakkon. Quick notes from reviews I read:

- $15 price tag
-A new area roughly the size of the Hinterlands
- Out tomorrow on PC, today on XBox

Pros:
- New area to explore.
- A new dragon to fight
- Lots of vendors with schematics that were difficult/impossible to get before.
- New tier 4 material
- High-level area; suggested level is 20.
- Can be completed prior to or after the end of the game.
- More Scout Harding dialogue and party banter

Cons:

- Probably only about 10 hours of content total
- Few cut scenes
- No unique scenes with love interests
- Some buggy dialogue (references to fighting the big bad after already beating the game)
- The story seems to be stand-alone and does not have much involvement with the main storyline

So basically it sounds like you're paying to unlock a new area similar to Emerald Graves or Hissing Wastes. Something that'll extend your adventure and get you treasure, but doesn't add much character involvement.

On a somewhat related note, I realized the other week that I've never bought Mark of the Assassin for DA2. I have all the other big DLCs (Black Emporium, Legacy, Exiled Prince and some of the item packs for elemental weapons). Is it worth buying? It always seemed lackluster when I read about it, but some people rate it about at the level of ME3: Citadel. Which I loved.

It caught my eye and I'm considering buying it, but then I realized I'd have to download the base game again, etc. etc..

I'll probably wait for a price drop or more DLC so I can complete them in bunches.

+1

Play a chick and romance Cassandra for double boobies!

She is? I thought that Josephine was the hetro option, Sera is the lesbian and Cassandra goes both ways. Those are the only female romance options if I remember right (no Viv or Leliana).

Sera is supposedly difficult to romance and only goes for elvish women. I tried once with a dwarf woman and couldn't seal the deal and later found out about the elf thing. Also, the model for nude dwarf women is horrific (I romanced Blackwall and then let him hang. Sucker!)

Edit: This makes me more certain that Cassandra does both -- otherwise the sole fem-fem option is locked behind playing an elf and I can't believe Bioware would have allowed for that. Again, unless I'm just forgetting a female romance option.

Is Knight-Enchanter still stupidly overpowered or did they patch that?

Was out of town for a week and lost interest.

ESO seems fun again though. Might spin that up again.
