I actually found myself harder pressed to beat the final boss, partially because I didn't have the dreadnought that you lose for being corrupted! The game was still fun, and it was funny watching lots of Guardsmen die, but it didn't seem to change, well, anything.Kinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267024485069239972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459540647304704291.post-73097336432019012692010-04-30T13:19:48.713-04:002010-04-30T13:19:48.713-04:00Well, I picked it up last night and instead of doi...Well, I picked it up last night and instead of doing homework, slogged through a couple of missions..<br /><br />Not too bad I must say.whytwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11974670545543720280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459540647304704291.post-45148849904825366632010-04-26T20:27:16.555-04:002010-04-26T20:27:16.555-04:00Well, I played through it as a "good guy"...Well, I played through it as a "good guy", and I have to say. . .there are no "tough" choices at all. They're pretty obvious, actually. Let the guardsmen die and gain corruption. Kill the traitors and gain redemption. The most obvious (and kind of stupid choice), is destroy the shrine to your chapter's heroes and gain corruption. Really? Because my guy with zero corruption would randomly choose a flagrant, a-hole act like that to start being bad. C'mon. . .they shouldn't even have that option!<br /><br />Still, the game was a lot of fun. I'm about a third of the way back through it as a bad dude, and so far, it hasn't seemed to effect the plot of the game so much. Although the dreadnought did warn me, "Not to become my enemy", which I thought was cool. Dreadnoughts are so BA.Kinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267024485069239972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459540647304704291.post-48863365354707427502010-04-26T10:25:55.745-04:002010-04-26T10:25:55.745-04:00I second J's remarks on the first DoWII instal...I second J's remarks on the first DoWII installment. No basebuilding was a big plus. The missions weren't overly difficult to accomplish (yet challengeing) and tactics versus just running and gunning made for a more intense experience. I also liked being able to upgrade my characters more along the lines of my play style.<br /><br />The only downside is that it is in an online environment and I don't think you can play without an internet connection to validate your account. The opening scenes were neat too.whytwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11974670545543720280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459540647304704291.post-52393032472951178632010-04-26T10:18:42.911-04:002010-04-26T10:18:42.911-04:00I have yet to play the expansion but I heard that ...I have yet to play the expansion but I heard that it is really tough to play a complete "good guy" through the whole campaign. As far as the good vs evil thing in most games the problem I have is only a few really get it, and include the gray area that most of us live a daily life in. <br /><br />Yes we are good people, but you know that not every decision you make is always so good vs evil, sometimes it is just a lesser of two evils. <br /><br />Wow *kicks the soap box away* sorry about that :) yes game rocks glad your enjoying it hehe.Jaybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019549926414585017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459540647304704291.post-61499860957487103042010-04-25T16:16:37.274-04:002010-04-25T16:16:37.274-04:00Based on my experiences with DoW II: Chaos Rising,...Based on my experiences with DoW II: Chaos Rising, I'm definitely going to look into getting DoW II. From what I can tell, the XP/levelling system is exactly the same. However, for CR, they throw in a Corruption system. Equipping certain items of wargear, as well as making certain battlefield decisions, will effect your squads' corruption ranking. I always play through as a "good guy" the first time I play any game where there's a good/bad system (think Knights of the Old Republic or Fable), but I'm looking forward to beating the game, and then playing back through and falling to Chaos.<br /><br />I would agree that it's MUCH better than the first Dawn of War.Kinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267024485069239972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459540647304704291.post-84633395190501267412010-04-25T10:51:13.168-04:002010-04-25T10:51:13.168-04:00Get Dawn of War 2 the first part and you will love...Get Dawn of War 2 the first part and you will love it! It really is much closer to the table top, and no base building BS to work about. <br /><br />I love the game and find it a lot more enjoyable then the first oneJaybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019549926414585017noreply@blogger.com
