larian was basically the last developer that hadn't replaced me as their target customer — until BG3. I was there to buy larian's games when they were on the verge of bankruptcy. I even bought the weird RTS-cross-strategy game they made.
Always remember, businesses are not people and they are never your friend. If a developer makes a game you like that panders specifically to you — fuck 'em, pirate it anyways. If you give them money it will be used to make a worse game targeted at people you hate.

A lot of developers, businesses in general, are quick to forget that they have a core customer base that has been buying their products for longer than most people they currently employ have even been there.

Last patch incoming, that means they have totally failed being developers since the game is still durr incomplete. This video they posted i saw in thread earlier is so fcuking gay, mashed shills for larian or they got payed.

People that shill for Larian today and in the future needs to be sent to an asylum or executed for stupidity.

Astarion has become even more fucking disgustingly gay, Shadowheart is ‘roommate’ with Karlach, in reference to his VA's homosexuality + joke "they were roommate".


Anyway, how do we erase my memory ?

I sincerely wish I'd never seen this video made just to please wokes who need consolation after Trump denies the mentally ill woke

Do you really get to fight a dragon in the game? No one has ever mentioned it.

2 in act3, one is optional the other is skippable with some spells and that one also doesnt drop anything anyway and appears pretty much 2mins before the game ends. The dragon fights were rather underwhelming and too easy compared to BG1-2, where you can fight some pretty early and just get one shot and cant just easiely revive like in BG3.

Yes, two. Don't expect a classic "slay the dragon, and steal it's hoard" either. It reveals a part of the story that's a real letdown to fans of the previous titles.

Guys after seeing that animation I'm starting to think the developers might be woke! 🤯

Since they are claiming that this is the final patch, is the game worth getting? Apparently you can make a dragon man character? Trying to look through the wiki at the different subclasses is difficult, as there isn't an image showing you what each subclass is about.

Just pirate it.
There's no situation where I could recommend buying this game, regardless of how good it is.

You can respec at any time for free, and the game is long and very easy. So just pick a subclass based on the name alone, and then respec to something else if it's not what you expected.

Also what Rusty said - absolutely pirate it.

Alright, guys. I finally built a PC powerful enough for this game. Planning to play it for the first time. That said, I wanna install mods to remove all the Woke political propaganda. Maybe some other mods too—like ones that actually make women look like women, not men with square jaws.

Oh, and I’d also like to keep the game in Russian. Is that even possible? Also, how hard is it to install mods in general? Any help, avices for first playthrough or links would be appreciated!

What do the popups look like if you do not mind me asking? I recall those for Origins as Oyster mentioned, can't say I recall there being achievements for Dragon Age 2!

There will be a symbol on the top left of the screen with a name and icon but no description of what exactly triggers them. Some are obvious like story achievements but some are pretty esoteric.
