    Dragon Age II Review

    Them's fighting words! Actually, half a year ago I had another run of BG2. With the mods out there that update to HD textures and a high resolution, it's still absolutely playable. What I loved about the game is the dialogue system - especially the banter between party members that could...

    Dragon Age II Review

    That's my point. I don't think the game is bad. I will, at one point, own the game. It's just not good enough to get me more excited than disappointed. :( While other publishers might aim for a "meh"-result, I had pretty high hopes when DA2 was first announced - and I don't feel it...

    Dragon Age II Review

    The German review over at Golem.com is pretty "meh, this is nice, it could have been better". I love Golem.

    Dragon Age II Review

    I don't know what it is that leaves me cold. I loved Dragon Age 1. I loved Mass Effect 2. I don't want Dragon Age to turn into Mass Effect 2. I do not want to click on colour-coded dialogue choices. I do not want to have a "click button to attack"-combat system in my group-based...

    Question of the Day, January 7, 2011

    Despite BG&E - which I loved in it's original version so much -, I'd have loved to have a "Uh, what?"-option to vote. Just for choice. BG&E it is, of course - can't wait to see it it in HD.

    This will fit nicely into my collection. Hope delivery from the US isn't too expensive. :)

    Guys That Play Girls In Games. Why?

    My mages and lockpicks are male. My assassins and fighters are female. I blame Tamora Pierce's "Song of the Lioness" series, which I read very very young and still love to this day for fixing the image of the female swordswoman into my brain. Also, when roleplaying in Pen&Paper or online...

    Preview: DC Universe Online

    I loved Teleportation. :( I miss it badly, and I really hope they'll introduce a fourth travelpower.

    Preview: DC Universe Online

    That's weird, at least the lower level stuff (I didn't have much time to play around yet) definitely equips even if not displaying. At least I get the statbonus. Again, this is the PC version. :)

    Preview: DC Universe Online

    Um, I just joined the beta yesterday. When I found new equipment pieces, I was asked if I wanted to change the appearance of my costume or not. This is the PC version though, maybe the PS3 works differently? :) I'm quite surprised and pleased with the game. Right now, I'll almost...

    Test Your Mental Might With The Escapist's First-Ever Puzzle Adventure!

    GOTCHA! I started working with the wrong code at first, because I missed a tentacle.... So. What kind of Escapist Swag are we doing this for, anyway? :D

    So what's with the lag? The combat mechanics sound like if you lag at perfectly-executed-blow-number-7, it'll ruin your combo for good. My personal experience with SOE servers have been rather negative when it came to connectivity - how's the machine handling things?

    Test Your Mental Might With The Escapist's First-Ever Puzzle Adventure!

    I have an issue with 4-1: /EDIT: Doh! Seems like a letter hasn't lighted up. :( Nice puzzle, but a bit full of issues on the technical side.
