Saw this was $39.99 at Target through the end of this week.
It's taken awhile to get used to it, leveling up, switching between characters, using their abilities...but once you get used to it, it's addicting. I'm so used to bumrushing into an area, that I've died a ton. I haven't switched to a lower difficulty rating, I've just tried different strategies until I got one that worked. Sometimes the best thing to do is keep your party back in a different room and send a person into the room with many enemies to lure a few out at a time back to your party. It takes awhile, but it makes it kinda fun to set up ambushes that way. The one thing I don't like is not being able to switch out party members with your bench when you're in an area. While I understand, having to carry a rogue to unlock treasure chests is annoying.
For those that have the game, did you get the free download of Shale the golem? I did and he definitely helps in the fight.
I got him but haven't really used him at all yet. I don't have room for a straight-up damage dealer type, as my main party is dual wield rogue main with evasion, Champion-type tank, Arcane Warrior-type tank, and Morrigan to nuke people. I suppose I could probably drop the Champion, but I love this setup because my three melees all basically take no damage so the Arcane Warrior can be my only healer and Morrigan can do crowd control and abuse the ice spells.
I'm waffling on ordering the other DLC expansion. I've heard it's too short for the cost, but it's also got the best mainhand weapon for a dual wielder and some nifty armor. I'll probably end up getting it soon unless they fix dexterity for daggers and they become better to use than swords and axes.
I chose a human warrior type as my main char and now have him as a champion but I'm kinda wishing I had gone with a mage; If I had, I could concentrate on what spells to use at what situations instead of having to constantly switch back and forth from me to Alistair(to heal) to Morrigan(to cast or heal someone else) back to my main char. The micromanaging gets a little obnoxious sometimes, especially in long, tough boss fights
Anyone know of any good PS3 bundles out there right now? GF told me she was going to get one for me for Christmas, but she doesn't know anything about games and told me that I can pick it out. I can't find anything other than some sold out Walmart deals.
