I just completed the game myself for the first time.
 
But I was wondering what was your favourite class/species? and your favourite people to use?

Wouldn't you like you to know, sailor. "

Do you feel there was a need for a new system or should they have just retained the use of the DnD license?

What's the actual length of the game? How do you recommend I spec a mage?

Whats yer favorite color?

Why didn't you play Movie Game three times instead?
 
(I call ME2 Movie Game because it's a movie that's also a game.)

I have myself (healer), Sten, Morrigan, and Dog.  I have not seen this party anywhere - I'm surprised, I fucking kick ass on hard in this game.

what should i start a new character as: dwarf warrior or human mage? if dwarf, which origin, and if mage, which spec?
which would be more useful?

You're doing it wrong.

What...is the capital of Assyria?

1. Go through the line of blood mage spells asap. Blood wound will devastate large groups of creatures, blood control can often be used to snag a higher-level creature and have them fight for you for awhile. Blood sacrifice can heal you back quickly (use it on a character in your party with a ton of health), and the ability to exhaust your mana and go directly back into casting using health means you don't run out of spell-casting juice until the hardest of fights.
   
2. Go through at least one line of elemental damage spell of your choice (I'd suggest either fire or electricity, and then cold if you can take another).
   
3. Take mana drain, health drain, and vulnerability hex, as the two former are potent when combined with the latter. Good for healing and gaining back mana.
   
4. Take mind blast. Mind blast is invaluable for when your mage is being attacked, as it stuns enemies immediately and will reset their targeting, meaning they will seek a different person to attack when they snap out of it.
5. Take force field. You get three important uses with this one. Protecting a character who is about to die. Drawing aggression with one character, force fielding him/her, letting the enemies bunch up around them, and blasting them with spells while you remain immune to the damage. Finally, if you're facing a large number of enemies plus a really powerful one, you can force field the difficult one to keep them out of the fight until you've thinned out the ranks a little
6. The whole hex line of spells. Obviously vulnerability and affliction hexes compliment your direct damage fireballs/what-have-you. Then there's misdirection, which means that the enemy you cast it on pretty much won't be hitting you for awhile. Death hex means they'll be dead before they're much of a threat, since every attack that strikes will be a critical hit.
7. Finish off the entropy (drain life) branch to get death cloud. Combine death cloud and death hex for the highest instant damage amount in the game.

1. Area effect spell (inferno, blizzard) + a narrow path between you and the enemy +  glyph of repulsion = the enemy takes constant damage and can't reach you for the duration of the repulsion glyph.
2. Similarly, area effect spell + earthquake = constant damage while the enemy keeps falling over and has a hard time reaching you. Great because earthquake is an instant-cast spell, so you can set this up easily with one mage.
   

Is there a lot of cool loot?  I always wondered how much of that game was loot-focused, if it is at all.

Do you agree the loot sucked?

your favorite DLC?

ok so you have 10 midgets, a tiger and shale. The midegets count as one thing. You have to marry one, sodomize and play through DAO with one in our party. What do you do?

Only 3 times? I've beaten 3 times with just a mage class. Twice for warrior, and twice for rogue.  
 
Mage is by far the strongest, unless you get mods for the game. You need an archery mod. Archery is incredibly underpowered.  
 
Arcane Warrior was so overpowered. Well, they made him a lot weaker now, but you could solo the entire game on nightmare with an Arcane Warrior.  
 
My favorite combo: 
 
Human Mage (Blood Mage + Healer) --> Go for a more Necromancer/Warlock type character 
 
Morrigan (Shapeshifter + Healer) --> More Elementalist style mage 
 
Leliana (Bard + Ranger) --> Archer with a pet 
  
Alistair (Templar + Berserker) --> A tank 
 
 
I'm happy that Awakening is making Warrior and Rogues stronger. Mages were just way too overpowered.  

I was looking for some advice on my non-mage playthroughs. I do just fine on mage - crowd control is not a problem, neither is healing. When I try to play Warrior or Rouge I noticed a distinct lack of support - is it best to hit the Mages tower 1st and get Wynne for a non mage game? Should I convert Morrigan into a healer instead?

"You need an archery mod. Archery is incredibly underpowered.  

Well I had a struggled a few times with the following: 
2handed Warrior + Allister + Morrigan + Lelana
Dual wield Rouge + Allister + Morrigan + Lelana
 
I think what I want to end up doing with Warrior is a dual wield build (I liked Champion the most of the advanced class but seems better suited to a tank than a DD), likewise dual wielding with Rouge (going for assassin and maybe duelist? not sure on second class). I'm a fairly novice player at this point - just noticed a night and day difference when I started a mage vs the melee classes.
 
I guess I've got a question on the Mage tower too - it was fine when I played as mage, but I was able to run crowd control and healing - how can a Rouge or Warrior stand up to the sections where you're forced to solo? or do I just stay in animal form and collect the stat boosts when I can?

Archery isn't underpowered. It's just poorly designed. (Without the archery mod) You just need Song of Courage and Rock Aura. With some good equips, you can get close to autocrit and rapid fire attack speed. It makes the dragon and mage bosses on Nightmare stupidly easy because you don't need to move at all. It's just too bad that the archery talents are pretty bad. "  

" @SteamPunkJin:  You can do a shit load of damage with 2 handed, but you attack a lot slower and are lot less accurate.

It is underpowered. Like Song of Courage is great. People need to use that more. If you have Wynne, you can constantly have her increase your archer's attack as well. But they are still underpowered compared to the other classes. Ranger is a must obviously. Arrow of Slaying is important as hell. Like they don't suck, but they are underpowered. Thankfully, Bioware realized that and they are making them a lot stronger in Awakening.   "

You beat it three times? Doesn't it hurt?
