Who has played the First Dark Alliance and Who is going to get Part 2? Personally I think the game was bad ass. Especially the water..It looked so realistic..Part 2 has some more features and you can even customize and make your own weapons..

Overall I think it's a great game series so far for the PS2..My Favorite hack and slash also..
 
Ditto,
I have just gone thru and made some "Super" Characters by going thru the game with each character in "Extreme" mode...including Drizz't.
Each one will have all the "power bubbles" filled up when I'm done. Drizz't and the Female Elf are proving to be most troublesome as the last dots take upwards of 30 points to fill.
All except Drizz't are over level 30.
They make Hard mode seem very easy.:D
Especially, as they import in with all the stuff they had in the Hall of Rememberance.
 
heh Drizzt is kickass :P Even though his weapons aren't the best..HE can whoop up on stuff..Maybe it's his fast speed..He hits like 8 times in each combo..
 
Can you imagine Drizz't with TWO Onyx swords?:eek:

My favorite character is the Human Archer though.
I love my explosive arrows, especially against those little annoying kobold/mouse looking things.:lol:
The sorceress is too limited, not being able to use any two handed weapons. How come she can swing a 10-lb. long-sword, but not a 7-lb. Battleax?
The Dwarf can carry a lot, but he seems to mostly be designed for combat "up close and personal". He has almost no magic. And no "enchanted" arrows. But he can mess up a bunch of folks real quick with a Great Sword.
 
I too am eagerly awaiting this game more than any other after falling in love with the first one. I never played with Drizz't, because I didn't think you could level him up or change his weapons (still don't think you can change his weapons.)
Here's the thing though: The developer of DA2 is actually different than the first. Black Isle Studios is better known for creating Icewind Dale 1&2, Torn, and Planescape: Torment (argueably the best PC RPG ever)
The BG: DA development team is hard at work on another game called:Champions of Norrath: Realms of EverQuest . It will feature excellent graphics from what I can see, similar gameplay to BG: DA, the same game engine as BG: DA1&2, and online play. (I think 4 player coop too.)
 
Ok, out of the closet I come....

I too await this game. It was my son and I's favorite game to play, especially with the coop mode being what it is... If filled a void that Loaded created so many moons ago. The replay value was awesome, I think my son and I wnet through the entire game 4 times. I played the Dwarf because I like the up-close-and-personal approach, whereas my son swapped between the other characters.

DA2 should be well worth it's value. It's gonna end up in my collection for sure.
 
For the record Drizz't can be powered up, but he only has two magics: Repulsion, and Outke's Ice Sphere.
My kids are going thru with my "super" characters.
One of them asked me the other day, "Is this guy invincible?" I had to go in and check. He wasn't. But a level 33 Archer is total ownage.
 
I wonder if they are going to lock the characters to a maximum of 20 levels as in Neverwinter Nights (because they hadn't finalized anything higher in the 3rd edition rules when it had come out.)
 
You guys are uninformed, Champions of Norrath will crush Dark Alliaince 2.

Have any of you heard of Champions of Norrath? It is made by the developers of Dark aliance. They use most of the same formuals but inhanced them and put them into the Everquest world instead of Baldurs Gate. It will play the same and the graphics will be better. It has 10,000 items with random mods 45 levels with random level generator, 5 races and 5 classes,

4 players not 2, with multi-tap, the kicker? Free online play or LAN!!! wont find that in Darck Aliance 2. End of November release. Hopefully you will beat Dark Aliance 2 with no real reason to go at it again and pick up the game to beat all action RPGs on a console. claimed 100 hours of gameplay. And it can handle 40 charactors on screen

It's diablo 2 rip off but its only for PS2.

Champions of Norrath

Sadly I'll probably get DA2 for Xbox anyway to play at my girls house
