Dragon Age: Origins

[killgod]

I'm like 9 hours in it doesn't even feel like I've scratched the surface.

I haven't had any problems with framerate so far, but a SHIT ton of pop-in, even worse than Mass Effect.




Thanks for the review, is it this one of the other one that increases your inventory space?

Yeah the draw distance is very short...ah well.

I didn't get any more inventory space...so unless I missed something..

The consequences of dialogue are excellent.

No kidding.

Redcliffe moment....

 

I decided to fuck the demon that possessed Connor and she'll be taking him back over when he gets older....should be interested to see what happens down the road LOL.

I'm a bit disapointted they dropped some of the sexual scenes simply because I felt unrewarded for what I chose. I could have gotten an item, exp for defeating her, etc. Instead I got zilch. Kinda pointless to provide that option if I'm not even going to get some softcore lesbo scene out of that decision. :bawling:

a tip that i just found out regarding Warden's Keep DLC

there's a storage chest there once you complete it. so you can go there and stash all your goodies whenever you want.

Definitely do the "Circle of Magi" quest or whatever it's called first.
You'll get Wynne and she has a heal spell which makes a massive difference.

Thanks...the elf quest is kicking my ass. I'm going to have to come back and do that one later.

I did the Elf/Werewolf quests first...then Shale...then to the Dwarf place. I'm in the Deep Roads now, which is an enormous dungeon...and it's kicking my ass.

I'm going for the Urn right now in Haven, and HOLY BALLS the difficulty amps up like I never believed. First in the fight with Kolgrim (I think that was his name) where my first 4 tries I was slaughtered in a matter of seconds. THEN comes the battle on the mountaintop with the High Dragon. I shit you not, I died instantly like 3 times. He also has this attack where he'll grab a melee character in his mouth and chow down on him until that character dies.

For anyone that doesn't have it already, this game is only 49.99 at Amazon.

this game is far and away the best pc game ive played in years. ive been craving a nice long story heavy rpg for so long. the consequences to your actions are so detailed and the world so very thoroughly awesome. unlike the other bioware games theres no good or evil meter so i actually play it naturally. hard scrabble group of travellers rolling into a new village, i was an evil bastard to the people because i needed the merchants discount, but i get to another place and i see the townspeople ready to die from bad guys... i cant let them be defenseless, i have to defend the village. it plays so... natural. so immersive.

i am extraordinarily impressed and it was worth the money (got it for 49.99 @ best buy)

Damn you, MW2, for kicking my ADD into overdrive.

I'll never finish this game.

COD4, Fallout 3, Marvel 2, GTA4 and MW2...

I don't envy Twigg's huge collection and I feel as though these other games might collect dust.

EDIT/Addendum: Holy shit at this load time for the game install.

Not as slow as MGS:4, but damn.

Just started as a Human Noble and merked a bunch of rats with my trusty dog sidekick, Dogmeat and "Temporary Ally #33."

So far so good as we earn XP by the minute. :lulz:

EDIT:

 

So basically with the Human Noble they go with the obligatory "shady dude takes you home over" plot to begin and then we shift to "you're the Chosen One."

I like it to the point that I'm basically playing Final Fantasy again with the inception of killing monsters for XP, talking to everyone about everything and more killing mans.

...I did like the Chasind Trail Signs quest due to the fat lootz you get

[SethMode]

Just finished it tonight...holy fuck I love this game. You know you're playing something great when you're thinking about your NEXT playthrough before you even finish your current one. I did a City Elf warrior initially, now I'm doing a Dwarf Noble Rogue....man...Love it.

[jms493]

I havent even started yet....still in my gamefly wrapper....its a keeper though I will get into it.

Still tottering around in Lothering doing stuff for money and glory...

Ended up putting my foot in the ass of a few bandit bands and their dogs too; Luckily my trusty companion, Dogmeat, had a thing or two to say about that.

Also, I love how the game explains the main Big Bad as a force of darkness and despair (basically the evil army in every Fantasy game/book/movie) but still has room to put in GIANT SPIDERS. :screams:

Fuckers scared the daylights out of me even though I've murdered multiple darkspawn and an orge already.

Now... to retrieve Sten and take my group of merry marauders down the Imperial Highway!

Just make sure you don't leave Lothering with any unfinished business (which I'm sure you know but just in case). Can't go back afterward.
