The bulk of the bad guys are just Goombas from the Super Mario Bros Movie.
Kinda changes the whole game ya know.
Fuck. Thanks man. Good thing I still have Borderlands.
Well after some questing of my own to find a copy of the Collector's Edition on PC - Best Buy didn't seem to understand what the point of a pre-order was and sold all their copies and while I had forgotten about having also pre-ordered at Gamestop they never offered pre-orders on the Collector's Edition.
I finally sat down to play later that night. All the servers were quick and responsive, so I had no trouble retrieving all my previously made character and getting the horde of items I had gotten from the flash game and codes included with the boxed game.
I'm only a few hours in, making my way up the tower now, on a Human Rogue, but I am greatly enjoying the experience thus far. The highlight for me last night was going to talk to an NPC standing right next to another one - the dialogue was playing out exactly like every other game where the rest of the world was completely obvious to your conversation. Suddenly my NPC father butts in saying "You know I am standing right here and can hear you" or something to that effect. Details like that are what are really making this game a step above most.

I'm really looking forward to buying it for my 360 when I have some cash, but Assassin's Creed II will be out soon! I'm still not sure which I'm going to buy first, and which I'll request for Christmas.
The elevators didn't help, but it was mostly... well, most of it. I didn't ever grow to care about the characters, but enjoyed that they were fleshed out, and I hated my actions not ever feeling like they actually had any sort of weight on the universe, or at least none that I could ever distinguish. The combat was slightly entertaining, but I found it got really clunky really fast in my hands...DesertHawk said:
And the Mako. OH GOD THE MAKO. That little car can go die in a fire.
I haven't been able to get my hands on any Bioware work (and my boyfriend fuckin' lost KOTR! >.>) besides Jade Empire, which I LOVED. It remains one of my favourite games to this day.
So... I'm on the fence. Mostly what gets me is that I don't know if I'd be able to find a class mixture I'd like. If there's a somewhat easy way to make a mageknight sorta thing, a melee warrior with competent magic skills or a mage that can go into melee, I'd be in love.
Started with a Human Noble Warrior, then switched to a Female City Elf Warrior at Girlfriends request. I'm loving the game so far, it sort of feels like playing an exceptionally awesome game of DnD.
I've only played the Mage Origin story, but I can tell its going to be my favorite game of the year simply because when I reached a point where you need tochange areas it asked "Do you wish to gether your party and venture forth?" That had me grinning like an idiot for 5 minutes.
Really? I thought the sword and shield combo would be the best. Can you elaborate on whats not so great on sword play?Virgil said:
OT: I can't wait to play this game, but I have to play Jak and Daxter: The Lost frontier first
have it on reserve, havn't made a character but have one planned.
I'm going with "Louie The Rune Soldier" or just Louie. He will be a big mage with blue hair, crap at magic and stupidly strong with no weapon skills. Just the type of char to make the game interesting.

Oh dear thats upsetting.. I would have thought sword and sheild would have been quite fun to play withVirgil said:
I love the way you can stab someone with the sheild.. But whats the problem with it anyway?
OT: I really can not wait for this game to come out on friday anyway
!
I Hope it runs better than Mass effect wich sufferd horrible inconsistend frame rates and some fugly glitches (I had flashing white squeares on the fountains every time I saw them in that big ass space station).
I hope it is as intruiging as the witcher was which I consider one of the best medieval fantasy RPG's from the last 5 years.
But indeed the mass effect taste is still lingering so I am worried.

I just don't feel exceptionally durable for carrying and specializing in the shield over an off-hand weapon (or a bigger one). It could be something that changes later on, but that skill tree didn't really grab me.pimppeter2 said:
Also, the fact that there isn't a one-handed weapon skill tree, making all my special attacks shield-bash related, makes me less-interested in the character.
I really want this game for the PC but I'm almost certain mine would die trying to run it so I'm kind of stuck between either getting it for the 360 or PS3. Anyone know if there's enough difference between the 2 versions to sway my choice?
Take this with a grain of salt (it is the internet after all), but from what i've seen of the official stories, the 360 looks a bit worse than the PS3 but runs a little smoother. To be honest i really doubt there's that much difference at all, just make sure that if you get it for 360 you install it to the hard drive.killgannon said:
