DA2 - The making of "Champion of Kirkwall"..

[ortucis]

*Nightmarish difficulty ON

Step-1 - Trigger the challenge..

Step-2 - Die and realise that the AI for boss-fight is amazingly challenging, kudos BioWare..

Step-3 - Respawn and look around for the nearest pillar*. Gentlemen, the making of "champion of Kirkwall"..



Step-4 - Realise that the Qunari have issues..



Step-5 - Call a meeting of city planners/builders/engineers. Qunari weirdos..





*Run around waiting for cooldown reset for (almost) insta-kill attacks. Stop every now and then to, well, attack. Repeat process until the champion of Kirkwall is born.

Bethesda should sue Bioware for reverse-engineering the AI used in Daggerfall.

LOOKIT DEM TEXTURES! Can you totally kill that fucking ugly piece of shit off? Merril too? Sorry elf, your neck is disgusting. Varrick? That gay elf? THEN WAIT FOR THE BETHANY/ISABEL THREESOME MOD. OH GOD IT'S HEAVAN.

 

[DraQ]

Also of note - pillars are specifically mentioned in the last shot.

I actually CBA after seeing that his health wouldn't really budge (I have a tank build) so I reloaded and chose the group fight option. He went down in about 2 minutes of AOE nukage from Merril.

That must be an example of an exciting boss fight. I've heard so much about those in many different genres.

 

[racofer]

Damn. Tactics surely are overpowered in this game.

 

[Zed]

The guy has a cone attack with slow animation. Just strafe around him and hit the Awesome-button.

 

[chzr]

so you can beat him the same way as ogre? indeed you need to be special to be a champion of kirkwall

 

[ortucis]

Alright, finished it. Uninstalling, but before that..

 

[hoverdog]

It lacks the I want to be a dragon/I'm hungry option.

 

[Jools]

You also forgot more Codex-approved options:

- Rape her.
- End of the line. (Stanley Woo endorsed)
- r00fles.

Could you put this in more context? What is going on here?

Can I just ask: how the fuck does he stab you through your armor and chest with that sword???

SPOILER (though seriously, who didn't see this coming?)

Quick version..

Well, one of your companion (that Dwarf from demo) has a "companion quest" which starts your journey and ends it as well. Basically, in the begining (Deep Roads mission) his brother takes a cursed idol and traps you all in the ruins. That idol fucks up his (betrayer brother) mind. Later in-game you finally find the betrayer and help/kill him but there is no sign of idol (betrayer tells your companion that he destroyed it).

In the end, rather abruptly, you have this Merid.. meridit.. whatever, lunatic Templar who suddenely reveals her super-secret-awesome-manga weapon. A glowing red sword she got made from the remains of the idol she bought from the betrayer dwarf. Over the years, the idol drove her crazy as well and there are hints (if you bother talking with that one templar every now and then in front of Chantry) and rumors of her going mad slowly.

Yes, that's how it's revealed at the last boss fight. I don't know whether they were expecting us to be shocked or vomit at the stupidity of the whole moment.

I suppose Jaesun meant cropping him out of the background completely. I might do it this evening if someone won't do it first.

BTW:

I BELIEVE YOU LOST THIS SOMEWHERE (kachink kachink kachink whoosh kachink)

I THOUGHT IT WAS LOST. PERHAPS IT SHOULD BE. THAT DOES NOT DIMINISH YOUR KINDNESS (kachink kachink kachink whoosh kachink)

Yes I meant that. I just woke up and only have had a few sips of coffee so far....

Cool, thanks.


Is the dialogue in the previous screenie for reals though? If so, why would the player want to kiss her? I know it's a Bioware game but that makes even less sense than usual.

Err no, except for the first shot in the first post, every other image has photoshopped text and dialogue wheel.

Are you stupid? the game doesn't even have a morality scale so there is not +1 good or evil points which should be a fukkin' clue the screen is fake. LMFAO Gullible shitz are gullible shitz.
