I am dissapoint.

So far, I totally haven't gotten any armor/weapons/shields to replace what I brought over with my Arcane Warrior, aside from helmets since the one I had didn't transfer.

I did like that you can respec all your characters as many times as you want.

I don't like that you can't talk to your companions while traveling (there are no conversation trees), and especially that you can't do sex at any of them. I'm not some lonely loner in need of video game **** to get me through life. I just found the romance options in the main game and the conversation trees to be entertaining, and a large part of why I played.

Yeah, it's retarded that half the gear didn't transfer over, and it was kind of short, but i liked the new abilities, and being able to pick another sub class, or whatever the **** it's called. Wasn't really worth $40, but i enjoyed it. Don't really remember the story enough to comment on it.

Why are you just playing it now?

When I bought it, they had just done a patch that caused it to freeze constantly, so I put it down and played Dead Space for a while. I just saw one of my FL buddies playing it the other day and remembered I had never played through.

I respec'd one of the other mages to be an Arcane Warrior too, but I couldn't get enough Stamina/Mana Regen to outweigh Shimmering Shield or whatever, and Arcane Warrior staff build is boring.

But really, I think I could solo any of it on my AW at whatever level she was when I started. **** be broken, yo.

Oh and WTF at Oghern being the only repeat party member. I cultivated a lesbian relationship with Leliana, and all I get for a payoff is a letter saying she's busy?!

Staff build? Or the other thing? I know there's a neck piece that I could get, but meh. 2x Arcane Warrior is completely unnecessary since you can solo anything with 1.

I meant the first thing. It's pretty damn easy to get enough refresh to overcome your buffs cost, or at least come close enough to not matter (assuming you're also a blood mage, so you don't accidentally use too much mp before you can use a potion). Using a staff regularly on an arcane warrior is a bit silly.

Yeah, there's a neck piece with +3 Regen/Refresh I think that would allow me to do it.

Also, the Shimmering Shield buff (not to mention the other armor buffs) is really annoying in cutscenes. I don't like the way the eyeballs and jaw are visible. I'd rather be completely invisible or just have them turn off for CS.

I'm also disappointed that DA2 isn't going to have co-op. :(
