From the Makers of Mass Effect, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Baldur's Gate comes an epic tale of violence, lust, and betrayal. The survival of humanity rests in the hands of those chosen by fate. You are a Grey Warden, one of the last of an ancient order of guardians who have defended the lands throughout the centuries. Betrayed by a trusted general in a critical battle, you must hunt down the traitor and bring him to justice. As you fight your way towards the final confrontation with an evil nemesis, you will face monstrous foes and engage in epic quests to unite the disparate peoples of a world at war. A romance with a seductive shapeshifter may hold the key to victory, or she may be a dangerous diversion from the heart of your mission. To be a leader, you must make ruthless decisions and be willing to sacrifice your friends and loved ones for the greater good of mankind.

Going back to The Harvester,
Quote:
He's not really that hard If you set up your tactics correctly. You don't have a proper mage which can make the battle a little harder.
It's still harder to do if you start a new character just for the DLC, even if you have a ton of stat points to give out.
Importing my character made it a cakewalk.

FYI, import your best character (an Arcane Warrior or Archer Rogue preferably) when you're going for the Grim Reaper achievement for beating The Harvester on hard in the The Golems of Amgarrak DLC. He's a tough mofo on that difficulty. Being at the default Level 20 and using the default armor and equipment just isn't going to cut it. Do the Awakening DLC and then do it if you REALLY want to kick his ass.
noted
will keep that in mind, doing the regular storyline first again from scratch, with a rogue and mage characters..just to relive it, and rebuild my character(s) better, then import and knock out all the DLCs

PS3 version is a hunk of shit. I'm at the very end of Awakening where you fight the high dragon and EVERY TIME I get it down to about 25% health left, the fucking system freezes.
I'm starting to hate PS3 version of every game. My 360 has never frozen up and always runs smooth. This game has been sluggish since the beginning. Now I might not be able to 100% it because of this one fucking buggy dragon.

And no, I'm not going to uninstall the stupid DLC and reinstall it again because of this one thing, I've invested too many hours to start over again.

PS3 & 360 versions are a mess. I still can't Marry Anora, Become King & have Alistair remain in my Party(game refuses to accept that I'm King & I'm marring Anora. Really wish we could use console commands on PS3 & 360 versions). PC version you can without any issues.
PS3 has better textures, Environments & Loading. 360 has better FrameRate.
BioWare didn't work on the Console ports. Memory leaks start to happen after an hour or so playing the game. Thankfully Bioware did all their own work with DA 2. PS3, 360, PC & Mac was done inhouse, nothing was outsourced.

I noticed even with the demo of DA 2, it ran smoothly. So your point about them outsourcing the PS3 port (haven't played the 360 version) definitely shows. It's not as bad as Fallout 3 is on the PS3. And I had played it for 60 hours without a freeze up. I think it might have been something with that one save, because once I loaded up the other one it ran smoothly during that fight.
