PC Gamer have a big article on Dragon Age in its latest March issue. This reminds me that Dragon Age is soon coming.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
i am actually extremely excited for it. If EA publishes it then whatever... it really counts on who develops it in my opinion. Dragon Age could bring a lot to the single player RPG table (with a good story!). We will see how this goes.. i am quite excited. ROE_WedgeI agree, I'll probably wait a little while to get it but it is on my list of games to buy this year.
I am really interrested in it.
Ironicly It reminds me of a mix between Lord of the rings, and the witcher.
It is a lot darker looking then the average bioware game, which means automatic buy for me, I hope they step out of the kindergarden area.
Also I am very impressed with the look of the surroundings, the fighting mechanics looks like the weak point in the game, and then there is the dialogue... there should be alot of dialogue in the game, which hits home with me ^^
Its Bioware...of course i'm interested.Xavier_12I didn't forget Mass Effect. their f**ing limited activation scheme. Unless they use different scheme or activation-revoke tool, I won't get it.
people need to realise this RPG is gona FAIL BIG TIme its 3 classes and around 20min playtime on Orgin Story each class got 3 orgins haha... they dont even use D&D System this game is gona fail like mass effect (Overhyped crap). if they want to make a good turn-based RPG use D&D system! look how well neverwinter nights was & Baldurs gate, Icewinddale or even Torment now compare those Legends to new crap like mass effect wich is next gen all i can do is laugh they dont make good RPG's anymore and im gona save my money for Storm of Zheir (NWN2 Exp) and WestGate (NWN2 EXP). lets hope in the future they wont be so greedy and lust for money and actually develope a new good in-depth RPG and buy rights for the newest version of D&D. Dragon Orgin = FAILCrazyFox_444Your post= FAIL why the hell you think i wanna play with D&D rules, or why you think everything got to be like NW nights? its not a generic "dragon age" and :orc and goblins" rpg.... Mass effect is not overhyped crap its a masterpiece in every way and it put back into the map bioware to people who dont give a sweaty crap about Never Winter nights games... but i guess you only think its only you and only you in the word....
Dragon age dosent got history its gona be like medival Mass Effect with their own crappy game-rules & units set in a location non knows about its not old & epic with history like the Lost realm and neither is the Combat System as refined and updated as D&D ffs it as been updated since 1974. u clearly havent played Baldurs gate 1-2 or Torment and such since u make the statement that Mass Effect was good ur probably young who missed the golden age of RPG thats my opinion :). they even try to make it like Baldurs gate but without D&D & without lost realm haha fail were?CrazyFox_444I have loved every bioware game and Mass effect is no exception in regards to quality that Bioware has given us. Yes we'll probably never see a game like BG2 but you know what? That's fine by me. But Bioware is also known for trying new things, who knows maybe the combat will be similar to KOTOR.

First off, Baldur's gate 2 is not hack and slash. Baldur's gate 2 set a new standard for RPGs and is known as one of the best RPGs of all time, if not the best, for it's depth in hte gameplay and story and just about everything else. Second, I do not understand what you mean by Mass Effect put Bioware back on the map. They've always been known and popular. Every game they've made has received awards and nominations for "Best RPG of the year" and in Gamespy's "Character of the year" a bioware character always gets nominated. It's rather unfortunate that you never played Baldur's Gate II. That game put Bioware on the map.

plenty of towns?
why is ea getting so much hate? they made some great games last year (dead space, mirrors edge). of course i am excited for dragon ageSamiRDuranlast year it was worse... but i agree they deliver good stuff latelly.. i guess its drm.. which by the way they started to disable....

[QUOTE="metalhead004"]I was, until I saw it was being released by EA. Then I completely lost interest.Jd1680aDragon Age is being developed by Bioware as if it was independant. EA is just publishing it with no inference in the development.
If you actually believe that, I've got some nice land just south of Florida to sell you. EA = Bioware. Even Bioware has said that blanket statement in the past. Anyway, the game does look great, I'll just have to wait to see what kind of DRM it comes with. If it has the same DRM as Mass Effect and Spore, then I'm a lot less excited to buy it. If they've smartened up and release it with no limited activations and the like, then it's a sure addition to my collection.

I do not think that just DnD combat is the only way to go or the Forgotten Realms settings the only setting to go. I thought the setting in Jade Empire was new and good. Combat is still more stats based and not twitch skill based like Mass Effect. What I mean is just don't discount the game if you doesn't has old and familiar stuff. That said, seeing the generic Lord of rings-esque setting and a combat which they have developed to use on consoles too, I am definitely not every impressed myself

When has Bioware made a Kindergarten-esque game? Was it KOTOR 1 or 2? Jade Empire? Mass Effect? Honestly, what are you talking about>

Bioware built it's reputation on hardcare RPGs, so their focus on action RPGs in recent years (Jade Empire & Mass Effect) is a disappointment for those of us who played truly revolutionary games like Baldur's Gate 1&2 and Neverwinter Nights. From what I've seen of Dragon Age, they don't seem to be on the right track. I'm all for trying new things but if they are going to create a new ruleset and universe for their games, they need to make it as interesting as the D&D world/ruleset. Jade Empire and Mass Effect did not achieve this IMO.
Oops forgot about KOTOR, but again that was based on the Star Wars universe but they did do a good job with the ruleset.

To compare their brand new IP's such as ME and DA to those games and expect them to be "as interesting" isn't entirely fair is it?

They took on the challenge of creating a new world/ruleset for their more recent games. It maybe unfair but its a reality that people will compare a developers new work to previous work. I found the world of Mass Effect so sterile and boring compared to the world of Star Wars. So yes it's unfair, but then again, so what?
