Nice to see some things haven't changed.

I just reached level 10 with my main char and the class specializations seem pretty interesting so far. Your party also opens up a lot after you beat the first big story decision. Now they finally have some dialogue options going on, that go beyond small talk.

Also do you simply not get Dorian if you side with the Templars?

I know, but sadly that only works in theory. I mean when you issue that command characters do hold positions, but only until you order them to attack/cast a spell/whatever, then they immediately run around like morons again. So since any actions cancels this one out completely it's useless.

@theht:

Casual and relaxed conversations COVERED FROM HEAD TO TOE IN BLOOD AND VISCERA. I guess it is the age of dragons.

@theht I've noticed I don't see blood like that on my characters in cutscenes. Used to love it in DAII, but haven't seen it happen here yet sadly.

I haven't played it but it seems unintentionally hilariously bad.

Can I safely sell the 'too many breeches' valuable? I know it's a joke item but I wonder if there's a use for it or something.

I really like the game. I was not 100% sure about some random stuff and enemies respawning but then I saw a giant fighting electric dragon and had that Skyrim feeling. Just wanted to run up to them and do Fus Roh Dah. I hope there will be a lot of random encounters like that.

That event is scripted, not random.

I am really enjoying the game so far. I'm pretty engaged with it. My only gripe is the lack of information during crafting and how the whole inventory/equipment system is designed. There's some minor stuff here and there like quest markers and mounts, but I generally dig it. Exploration and questing is super fun and so is building up an army a la Suikoden. Combat isn't fantastic, but it's fine.
