Weekend Confirmed Episode 51
by Garnett Lee, Mar 11, 2011 12:00pm PSTThough they're missing PAX East, the Weekend Confirmed crew can't complain about the amazing SoCal weather, and Shacknews's Xav de Matos is up in Boston to cover the show. EGM's Sterling McGarvey joins Jeff and Garnett in the studio for this week's show. There's still plenty of leftovers from last week's GDC along with new releases to fill Whatcha Been Playin? The highlights include Fight Night Champions, Dragon Age 2, Lord of the Rings: War in the North, and Alice: Madness Returns. GDC panels and your comments on apologizing for Bulletstorm get the Warning going strong. And news in the Front Page includes several game announcements, sales records for Kinect and Pokemon, and cloud save game backups for the PS3.

Love your show. Been lurking here for awhile and thought, since you guys are one of the rare podcasts that actually interacts with their listeners, that I should jump right in.
I've been playing Dragon Age 2 on PC and, after 38 hours, I am finding it a very tactically deep game. Part of this, I think, has to do with the vastly increased utility of the rogue and warrior classes, which now have a lot more spec options and rival mages in terms of versatility. The other reason is that I kicked the difficulty up to Hard - I remember reading somewhere that Bioware balanced Casual and Normal so that you could play only one character and not die. But the Hard setting, at least from my experience, requires full party control and rewards synergy. And I can't even imagine playing Nightmare.... As a person who really enjoyed DA:O, I'm finding combat in DA2 just as rewarding, maybe more so.
Well, that's about it. If you end up playing DA2, Garnett, I hope this helps you enjoy it more.

I _DO_ like their idea though. I just think perhaps it could have been implemented better. It's pretty neat being able to upgrade the armor and put more rune slots etc.
I think if they had put more emphasis on the upgrades it would have been 10x cooler. Like everytime you upgrade it pulls up the character model and shows a visual upgrade. Instead now you "get it" and really can't even tell. Either visually or well, the UI. Its like "Did i just get something? .... oh yes I now have a higher stat in inventory."
So yes, more fleshing out of the companion system would have made it much much better.
