Spoiler Free Reactions - DA2 Mark of the Assassin
Okay, here are my mostly-spoiler-free reactions, as I had them:
- Tallis isn't so bad, actually... even if she does sound like Felicia Day.
- OMG I want to kill the Duke. I hope that's an option.
- Amazing banter so far between Hawke & Bela alone
- HOLY FUCK don't touch the Creepy Altar without a healer mage!!! LMAO (optional boss)
- Skullkid? Nope, "ghasts" says Tallis
- What is it, Lassie?? Oh, that's.... kinda sad.
- Seriously? THAT is what they have me wear as finery for the banquet? Couldn't I have brought that cute skirt-robe-thingy from home?
- Cameos yay! Teagan!! Isolde? Leliana!!!
- Didn't know Bran was into that sort of... thing
- Tiptoe / through the tulips... Or at least through a manor full of Orlesian guards.
Overall? Much better than I expected. You get used to Felicia Day's appearance--mostly--and while I still think she should have some sort of Thedosian accent, there's enough... speculation... to her origin that I can force myself to ignore that oversight. Not a bad three and a half hours at all, and I'm looking forward to playing it through with all my characters so that I can get all the different party banter options. I'll post a fuller, spoilery review once I make at least one more trip through.
Starting tomorrow over morning coffee I'll start the first episode of Dragon Age: Redemption and see how that continues Tallis's story.
