The vaginaboss in Borderlands took me ages to kill. If it didn't have such a pissweak "just respawn and keep fighting" gameplay ethos I would have been Fucked. Also, the original boss of Titan Quest (Typhon?) was pretty hard.
It's just that it wasn't really even a challenge. None of my dudes were ever in danger of dying. I deployed the Redcliff guys because they said they were good against armoured targets, but then hardly any of those guys died either. Then after a while I sort of said "ok fuck this" and used my dudes to shoot ballistae at the dragon until it was almost dead. I honestly had more trouble with the last bit of the city leading up to the tower, where you are corralled in the area with all the archers and the two or three darkspawn mages. I had to call in the elves to help me out with that.

Woop, just starting to play this game now. Gotta finish this before I can justify buying any new games. I'm going to do it old-school: a nice, simple human warrior, just as I did in my first ever fantasy RPG. Wait, a forty-five page manual?! Okay, maybe not so simple as I thought...
Having to install all those add-ons and bonuses is a bit annoying, though. You have to wait for the files to download, you have to wait for the game to install, then you have to claim your bonuses and wait until the game picks up on them, and finally you have to wait until it downloads all of them. Before you have even clicked the 'New game' button. Rrrrgh.

BULL. SHIT.
I spent ALL game buttering up Alistair so that I can rule with him after I killed Loghain at the Landsmeet. Broke it off with Leliana (never did sleep with her), broke it off with Zevran. Got him to fall in love with me, yadda yadda yadda.
So after I killed Loghain I was all like (persuade) Alistair and I will rule together! Mwa hah hah! And he's all like "no way, chica, you're not of noble blood, they won't accept you." And I'm all like "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU".
Total bullshit. So if you want to rule with Alistair, make sure you're a human noble, not an elf. Total horsecrap. So disappointed right now.
Emaline:
Yeah, I found that out after becoming super buddies with Alister. I was a little heartbroken. But me and Zevran are gonna make elf babies so whatevs.

Since my last post I've gone through the intro missions and went from Lothering (Lotharing?) to Redcliffe and did all the quests there. Some things of note: Combat is complicated as hell. The tactics for abilities are somewhat stupid because for every time you want to use a slot to activate it, you need another slot to deactivate it. That fills them up fast enough. I'd prefer to use one for both activate and deactivate.
The absence of a karma system is a welcome change so far. Contrary to many other choice-based RPGs, being the asshole makes things easier for you. The tavern in Redcliffe, for example. I threatened to kill the owner, he made me the boss, I subsequently gain one sovereign (is that what they call gold pieces nowadays?) and the whole of the shop's inventory, then I turned over ownership to the barmaid, who pays me three sovereigns for it, and I walk out a richer man. Hooray! On the other hand, it makes doing good deeds for the sake of them less rewarding, in the literal sense. I was left with nothing after completing the Last Will and Testament quest.
Can anyone tell me if there is a higher reward involved for not killing Connor and defeating the demon in the Fade? I killed Connor now, and I was wondering if it's worth going back and visit to the Circle Tower to save him.
