I will probably use mine when it comes out for PS3 or if I get the PC version.

Isn't the code the same as for the dragon age code..

Hedchekr · 11-20-2009, 06:31 PM

Well I mean for the 360. I was just curious cause the collectors edition for the PS3 states that it comes with the code for ME2 armour. I was just wondering if it was true and if someone that didn't have the 360 or wasn't going to play Mass Effect would like to give the code away. I was going to buy DA:O from thesoviet but I want the download code for ME2.

WormInfested · 11-20-2009, 06:45 PM

how oldschool are the graphics for this game? i've read some iffy stuff on it.

The armor is just one code though, and gets attached to your ea account, which is how they probably plan to connect it.

You don't even want to know my time...

I have two toons max'd to level 25 now with a second playthrough nearly complete (lots of toons mid-playthrough though... keep bouncing between them). Bunch of different classes, etc. I do EVERY side quest, etc., open all chests, steal from every single thing I can (you never get caught! EVAR!) to stack gold and experience. Even disabling traps levels you up REALLY fast (40xp a pop sometimes! Doesn't matter what toon does it).

I'm way to into the game... I can't wait for the modding community to really kick in and start dropping all kinds of new stuff on us.

I can't say I'm too excited about the Return to Ostagar DLC though... Seems a bit pricey for a 1 hour campaign (if you take the slowest path possible and listen to everything) with only a few new items (that may not be appealing because you already played through a few times by the time it's out or they simply do not match your class... crappy warrior stuff every time I swear). A speed run is only about 15minutes in this $5 DLC!! They should have added more for that price/time ratio. Like a lot more art models or something that can be used by modders even. Hoping the next one is better.

I'm just stating the times Rob Bartel posted on the Bioware Social Networks. There really isn't much mystery. Just a short, quite emotional, storyline between the characters that were present during the original battle with a little bit of Darkspawn combat mixed in.

No doubt the dialogue, etc., will be very emotional rich, but don't get your hopes too high for very much of it.

Actually an article said you find out the kings true intentions.. wooo. see mystery.

Its joystiq so if you want I could post linky but its up to you.

How did you manage to keep the darkspawn coming back? Or did the game glitch n you got lucky.

Also for those that beat the game. Im finishing up the treaty quest in orzimmar. How much game is after that? I dont want spoliers, just like a %.

I kept starting over. I wanted to see all the Origins and I also couldn't figure what kind of character that I wanted to play. I think I finally settled on being a Rogue with the dual sword ability.

Out of all the Origins, I would say the Dwarves had the best one.

I started using Auto-Saves and my saved games to get the various decision trophies. (Ex: Elf quest).

I wish I had thought of that earlier. I would have finished a great deal more trophies. I'll do the origin stories after I finish my rogue today.

That wouldn't really help would it, seeing how you need to reach level 20 for warrior rogue and Mage meaning you would have to play this game 3 times anyways.

I meant to get all of the trophies for completing each origin story. I will play through to get the level 20 Mage and Rogue eventually.

3 or 4 playthroughs, minimum, I think to platinum. I think getting multiple romance trophies in one game is probably pretty difficult, as well.

Luckily this game is definitely worth that many play throughs. I can hardly put it down when I'm at home. I even missed all of this weekends football.

i'm thankful that you can FF everything.

Got to put in a little bit of time in this last PM. Dialog choices often don't get expected results, and you have to go back to an earlier save and do it again.

Does the game play through better, if you try to remain consistent throughout the game in your decision making? And does it help, if your party characters tend to think alike rather than be natural adversaries?

In some earlier PC RPG's, you chose character alignment at the outset. You know, true neutral, lawful neutral, lawful good, chaotic, etc. It was sort of helpful, because moral decisions were somewhat preordained. In this game, your alignment sort of develops as you go along, and you have to be diligent and make decisions your character would make rather than make decisions you would make. Confounding this are ulterior motives and attitudes toward NPC's and what they think of each other.

For instance, keeping Alistair and Morrigan in a party is difficult. Actually keeping Alistair at all is difficult, because he's a dork. Trying to cultivate a romance with Morrigan (which I have chosen to do this playthrough) puts one at greater odds with Alistair, since making decisions to gain her approval (more of a neutral/neutral line) gains the disapproval of Alistair quickly (more lawful/neutral). It makes this game very difficult. I sort of think Alistair is jealous, too.
