Thanks Taz, that's exactly what I was looking for. We're an ambitious lot so we'll probably try to get the correct gear and go at it again, even if we are destined to fall on our faces.

Ahh ok, I didn't see that part. I also just found the in-game purchase screen. I'm not too sure how fast energy is restored while logged out, but hopefully it's not too slow or anything like that (edit: Ok so I think you get 100 mist energy per 24 hours). Playing with a party is a blast, this would be so fun with a group of friends on teamspeak. Ok.. now I need to convince everyone I know to try this out.

Looks interesting, I think I'll try it out right now.

Ahh, that's a great answer. Thank you. I've always been worried that it had some cumulative negative effect or something.

Alright that's it, I now feel inclined to create a new thread titled "My rant on rants on modern video game rants." Don't act surprised, you've forced me to do it.

DAO was worse about it, you could completely ignore Kaiden after you grab Garrus or Wrex. Alistar, though he was amuseing atleast when he wasn't whineing, on the otherhand is all over the place. Sten is my favorate companion from DAO, bar none.....well besides Dog, but that's obvious. The "Secret Companion"(do I even need to hide this anymore) was also a good character if you talk to him enough. Varric is the best companion in DA2 bar none, the rest of the male companions suck. Fenris whines and wants all mages dead, Anders whines way WAY too much about mages, and Carver is a fucking D-bag with an inferiority complex. The female companions aren't as bad, though they have their problems, esspecially Isabela, I swear I wanted to freaking gut her when I found out what her 'relic' was.

Holy fucking Christ, there are no words to express how much I agree with you. I enjoyed DA2 despite my first impressions but the companions felt so restricting. The companion classes felt EXTREMELY restricting as well. There were a bunch of 'little points' in the game that seemed to have been blown off, or assigned very little importance.. because they were horrible. Yet they all turned out to bug the hell out of me.

Oh, and just to get it off my chest.. I really hate the voice actor for Alistair in DAO. Or rather, I hate his voice.. and the characters he voice acts give his voice no credit either. I just want to rip his throat out.

Every time I create a character in Baldur's gate it somehow ends up as a chaotic good ranger. Sort of like how I can't get myself to play the "evil" path in KoTOR.

This is what happened to me in both of the Dragon Age games. No matter what my intentions were when I started a new game, I'd always crumble and make a "good guy" sword and board warrior. In Dragon Age 2 being a tank wasn't NEARLY as fun.. so after playing halfway through I just restarted as a "bad guy" mage. Oops, going off of thread topic here.
