Hey unknown, been a while-ish. How've you been holding up? Personally I just got back my mock gcse results and grade 4 trombone results so I'm pretty happy.
I wouldn't say it's hard, but the game can throw you an unexpected curveball of death. It really comes down to the tactic setup and how much attention you're paying to each battle. For example, if i'm not paying attention when my healer runs low on mana it usually ends in a characters death, quickly, sometimes i can salvage it but sometimes the others are just a short bit behind. Character spread is also pretty important as it leaves you open to DoA attacks which can be very painful. It's not that I can't do the stratergy it's just that I don't like micro-managing very much and that's the only way to fully utilise your party... especially mages. Also the difficulty ramps quite sharply as you level and I doubt my character builds effectiveness, I have really bad crowd control. Mostly though it's not a problem
I didn't even watch the countdown. xD; That's pretty sweet about the snow though. We Londoners haven't had any yet, but apparently it's going to snow tonight. Some weather warnings were issued, but I doubt it'll be that bad. One of my friends say it's snowing near her, and she only lives down the road, but I don't see any yet, unfortunately. =[ I don't know how long I've played so far. I've played probably about the same amount of time. I'm finding it pretty simple though, and everyone is saying it's hard. It makes me wonder if I'm playing correctly. xD;;
in possibly the most boring way, I played games with my little brother till about 10 to then we both filled into the front room to wait for the countdown. We didn't cheer, and after the fireworks were over I went upstairs to the computer. It's the first new years eve where we haven't had a party and it felt kinda hollow to be honest, but meh it's just another day at the end of the road. Have you had any snow at your end? we had enough to close the school over here which was pretty sweet, if we're lucky it'll be closed tomorrow but i'm not holding any hopes. If the council gets organised and grits the roads then we'll probably have to go in, our school has a really large draw area so if the roads are too icy for the bus companies we have to close. Also completing Dragon age is not an easy feat. Even assuming that you're only going to do one play through and you aren't going to read any of the codex or explore dialouge trees it's still going to take a long time. I'm about thirty hours in and i've only completed one major quest (admittidly i'm the part way through two others) and that's not even including the time i spent reloading after dying a cruel and grisaly death.
You have Dragon Age too!? =D It is good, but that's not my excuse lol. I have the GOTY edition of Fallout 3 and Uncharted 2. I don't want to complete Dragon Age yet because I paid a lot of money for it. xD; I feel better. Haha, my New Year was pretty sad. I went into it killing super mutants Fallout 3 with a drink by myself. I had Sheena on MSN too, and she the first to wish me a Happy New year, so that made it tons more worth while. ^^ How about you? How'd you come into the year? =]
hmm, our response interlude is becomming a bit of a trend... Damn you dragon age for being so damned good I know what you mean about lurking though, I barely post at all for better or for worse. Still i hope you've cheered up by now. So how was your new year? did you have a party or something?
I took a long time responding too it seems. I appear to be on here constantly, but really I just keep it tabbed and lurk/post in threads that get talked about on MSN. =S I know what was wrong, but I can't explain it properly. I just felt a little lonely and I was left to think a little too much, and I upset myself. xD;; I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! ^^
sorry for taking even longer to respond, the internet modem was broken at my dads house I've been okay, I had some fun and got some things. You seem a little on the sad side though what's up?
I've been in a strange mood. I think I'm happy, but I'm not excited that Christmas is tomorrow. That might change later I hope. =[ How're you? I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. =S
ah, christmas is but a few short days away. so how've you been unknown?
true enough, true enough. I can still be nervous though...
Maybe so, but it's extra time to work on it or chill out. =[
wednesday... It's still bad
Hahaha, I bet! So when is it going to be instead? =O
sounds nice, I got my german speaking mock moved further away today. I'm in a good mood right now
