The said DLC will also add more Eridian weapons than the lame one you get for killing that paladin dude, as well. I never started this game after beating it once. Went through as a Sniper and died too many times trying to do the first Shock Crystal Cave mission. Game got returned to my shelf and not touched for a year. Went back as a soldier, and I'm having a blast with his ammo regeneration, health increase and shield regeneration abilities. Well, I had a blast, should say. Still, never got to play with friends but your co-op technique sounds good...if I ever buy the DLC i'll make sure I use your technique. Your journals are decent. Thanks. :) I know this is too little, too late, but pearlescant weapons don’t appear in the vanilla version of Borderlands – you need DLC for those to appear – The Secret Armoury of General Knoxx or something like that.

I hit that same point with the ants in Fallout, it's not just well structured, but you can push through it. Yeah, I'll probably pick up Dragon Age this weekend.

After reading your post, I will probably give it a try. One thing I don't quite agree with you on is your comparison with Fallout 3. I tried that game once, and I didn't like it at all. I ran into the ammo problem you mentioned in this game where I had no ammo, money, or loot and had to run back to my base. This happened in the first level where you had to fight the giant ants. I was so pissed off that I just gave up on the game. Anyhow, you should do a journal on Dragon Age Origins. I’ve been reading all of your posts as well.

This game seems awesome i know a few people that have been playing it and i would get it if there weren't so many other games coming out but when i get bored and theres no new games coming out that i want this will be the first i will go after.

My buddies and I have been playing this co-op and it is definitely the way to go, but everything you have mentioned as lacking we have noticed as well. It is kinda rediculous that the best gear we got was from chests in New Haven. There are four (two which never drop anything) chests that can be looted, IN TOWN! There is no danger. Just loot and restart the game, repeat, profit. I have been reading all your Journals for this game and I think you are dead on.
