Well, 1/24 is still common for cars.

1/18, not 1/24.

Spoilered for your protection, here's who Ashley is: You can even get her to quote poetry. (I think that's a little easter egg)

I'm surprised that dragonskin and dragonbone armor is about the least-cool-looking of all medium armors. Well, it's better than the lowest chainmail, but that's about it. Got my Alistair in full Blood Dragon armor. Just all of a sudden I realized he could equip it and I had plenty of money to buy it. The money system is kind of annoying--I spend the first half of the game desperate for cash, and now I have a lot--but nothing to buy. Legendary/matched/plot armor and weapons far surpass anything you can buy----but there's always a few items that are INSANELY expensive (hundreds of gold). Having 100 gold is "pointless"---can't buy the amazing stuff, and no point buying stuff that 12 hours ago you were drooling over. And the stores just don't restock fast enough to splurge on a bunch of poultices and potions. True, most RPGs are kind of like that, but never to this extent. (except Dragon Warrior 1, where you were always dirt-poor even at the end)

Man, it must really suck to have a pelican buzz your Bugatti Veyron, causing you to drive it into a marsh: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/slides...BUCB800?index=0

Any more of Sheryl in Mylene's outfit, or is there just that one?

Darth Talon is so "extreme" I dislike her character. She's every stereotype and fantasy rolled into one package that is flat-out ludicrous. Yuthura Ban is 1000x better and more interesting if you want a twilek sith.

I got EVA-01, but recognize Dom, Zaku, and Saiyan when they were mentioned.

The F-20 of course. (Northrop's other greatest fighter that was never made). Was supposed to be able to out-turn and out-accelerate a stripped-down F-16, with better high-alpha stability.

Ashley from Mass Effect's in it (and I don't think it's possible to miss her--you should recognize her in about 2 syllables). I know Shepard (male) is in it too, but I can't remember who it was. Also, Cree Summer is the "violent female elf" voice option. So yes, I have Blackarachnia in my party. My stats finally updated, and the profile pic works again, but it still shows everything with level 1 equipment. http://social.bioware.com/playerprofile.ph...;nid=2298482811 PS---level 6 medium armor takes 30 str, level 7 takes 34.

Fixed.

Sten never says much in my experience, though what he does is good. 2nd time around I plan to have him around a lot more, as now I know his likes/dislikes a lot better and will be able to actually get him more than 1 or 2 points about "neutral". I kind of suspect that since Alistair and Morrigan etc are "main" characters, the game kind of "prefers" to have them speak, and only does the others when the main ones are "out" of things to say for that area/situation. (because I hear a lot more Morrigan than I should, based on how much she's in my party---I don't put her in that much) Also--Mage tower revenant *is* nasty. But my personal rule is to never leave a revenant unvanquished---there's too many and you'll forget where they are trying to get then later. (there better be a good reward for finishing that quest--I've got 4 of the 6 "main" ones now, having killed maybe 7 revenants total)

Well, I beat Morrigan's side-quest. (trying to be spoiler-free here). I basically cheated---the improved drake-scale armor is nigh-flame-proof. So I just stood there shooting arrows, as you'll only encounter fire attacks when at a distance. Alistair just dies SO fast in melee it's not worth healing nor reviving--won't take any melee along for future similar situations. Arrows, arrows, and more arrows...

I am surprised at how much smaller the "uniboob" is on Bandai's version---I don't see any obvious reason why/how though.

That really doesn't look like her. Final in-game and concept art faces match each other much better.

Remember, when they tested Monster Ultra cables with "Magnetic Flux Tube for deeper, tighter bass" vs cables made from a couple old coat hangars soldered together---more people preferred the coat hangars, among those who could "tell the difference". And that was for ANALOG signals.

Re: Morrigan's quest. I think I just sold off my paralysis runes. Ice arrows--I'd need like 100 and that'd cost a ton of money. Leliana blows through the 20 I have like THAT. I spent big bucks getting a grandmaster frost rune, paired with a regular one, so my main sword is about as ice-damaging as it gets. I'm actually thinking about switching to being an archer just for that fight---while my PC has NO archery skills, I do have very high dex and can equip what I think is one of the best bows in the game (it's 99% equal to Leliana's quest bow). I'll just stay far away in my fire-proof drake armor.

You need more than 20s for good med armor. I have med silverite at the moment and I think it needs 28 or more, will check later. Really, med armor offers similar defense to heavy/massive, and requires almost as much strength to equip----its real advantage/difference is that it saps fatigue a lot less. Also, I encountered ANOTHER spoiler! Was looking up "gifting" lists as there's no other way I'll ever get Sten to "open up"---and the full list of recruitable characters is a heck of a spoiler, trust me. I thought Ohgren was the only one I didn't have yet..

They can mold THIS canopy in color, but not the VF-25's??!!?

My Leliana doesn't die very often---she's most likely to be the last one standing, due to being the "archer out of the way from harm", and she's the only one I have a tactic for self-healing set up for. (since she doesn't need/use them very often). BTW, her concept art rocks, if only she looked like this in the game: http://na.llnet.bioware.cdn.ea.com/u/f/eag...t-preview-1.jpg Tried Morrigan's personal side quest again---still not strong enough. Maybe level 16 or 17... (I've read people did it at 12, but I think that's mainly luck---I almost did it on 12, but have never gotten that close again--I'm at 15 now)

I've never gotten that, and I had those 2 in the party for a long time. Do you have to be in Denerim or something? Anyways---the further I go, the easier it is. Alistair/Dog/Leliana did very well in the Brecilian Forest area. Just hit level 15 (but everyone else is 14). So close to a lot of awesome abilities. BTW--anyone know how much STR is needed to equip the very best MEDIUM armor? That's my goal for my main character.

Typhoon makes a lot more sense for Japan though.

So, just how bright is the blue glow? I'm all about light-up stuff. (I've lit up my own starships) More specifically---is it a nice even glow, or are there obvious light/dark spots betraying the underlying sources etc?

Damn it, I was looking up the "romance options" in the game to try to plan future plays (to see as much as possible in as little time as possible) and someone put a HUGE spoiler in it--and it really didn't even need to be there. Also, Sten's hard to "gift" as he never says what he likes. I just guess, and still haven't gotten him to "one full bar past neutral".

I'd merge the threads, but the system is always "backwards" and it'd likely title the new all-encompassing thread as the "Dragon Age" threads. So it'll have to be closed.
