I could not stop playing this game this weekend for my life. Not the prettiest game ever, but definitely one of the best games of the year. Im not comparing it to Demons Souls either, because they are like night and day different.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
It's a pretty good game, but I haven't really got addicted to it. I think because the story in the first few hours of the game is really weak.. it never drew me in. I was instantly drawn into Mass Effect and played the HELL out of that game, and now when I play Dragon Age it just makes me think I should be playing Baldur's Gate or Mass Effect instead.

Where do you buy your PC's :oblue_hazy_basicIt does not matter. Anyways I'm getting one for free when I get my PS3. :lol:
It does not matter. Anyways I'm getting one for free when I get my PS3. :lol:IronBassI would definately buy DA for the PC if you can. I just don't see how the control scheme works on a console anywhere near as well (don't care about the visuals) - honestly my PC is not exactly high powered any more and it runs DA perfectly

The inventory isn't nearly as annoying as Keven V made it out to be.
Oh man the Fade was so annoying, yet extremely rewarding if you explored everything.. Best RPG in years for me.xsubtownerxExactly, the rewards WAY outweighed the time it took, very pleasing :D

Demon's Souls is better.IronBassi love demons souls and its one of my favorite games this year but dragon age is the better RPG. and like the OP i couldn't put the game down all weekend i racked up nearly 30 hours over the last 2 days. decided to get it on the PC the game only runs at about 20FPS but the mod support and the KB/Mouse controls made my mind up on what to pick it up on..
[QUOTE="IronBass"]Demon's Souls is better.blue_hazy_basic9.5>9.0 :P 9.0=9.0 :o No I DIDN'T!!!!!! I have not played DAO yet. But when it goes down in price and I have the time, i'll def be willing to give this a look
Best RPG for a long long time for me so far, absolutely mind blowingly good. And I've only been to a few places! [spoiler] holy crap the mages tower took forever, loved it though! [/spoiler] blue_hazy_basicAgree! [spoiler] Mage's tower was freaking amazing. god, the sloth mini-story in the middle of the freaking tower :o I thought that was the final boss but nooooooooooooooo lololol [/spoiler]

Did you get it for the PC in the end? Best RPG for a long long time for me so far, absolutely mind blowingly good. And I've only been to a few places! [spoiler] holy crap the mages tower took forever, loved it though! [/spoiler] blue_hazy_basicPC of course. Playing on Normal, but the game is not easy. Redcliffe gave me a real hard time, since I dont have a healer, and pretty much have three warriors lol. I need to pick up some new characters.

I quickly figured out to give Morrigan the heal spell. Put it as the #1 priority for her in the tactics.

Basically, the radial thing works great for up to 5 talents/spells, beyond that i dunno. I'm using main (super-warrior), mage, golem, and rogue

Mass Effect was fine on consoles and so is Dragon Age.
I play DA at my friend's house on his PC, controls are by far superior but it's not like the game is unplayable with a controller.
First option for anyone should be PC if they can but if you're like me and all you have is a horrible laptop that can barely run Counter Strike, console isn't a bad alternative at all to the GOTY. :D
[QUOTE="xsubtownerx"]Oh man the Fade was so annoyingJandurinANNOYING?!?!?! what game did you plaY? [spoiler] Switching between the burning man and the golem and the spirit to completely destroy all adversaries was freaking awesomesauce :x [/spoiler] I played on the 360 of that's what you mean. [spoiler] Agreed. But the stealthy mouse was wicked coolz too. Little hidden areas and whatnots. I'm only half way in that tower right now. In my next playthrough, I'll be going there first. For obvious reasons. [/spoiler]
Yea that was an immense experience. That mission alone had more content than alot of games!blue_hazy_basicFirst time a WRPG, any an RPG at all has made me want to do every side questy thing, like [spoiler] the summoning exercise and the whatever of the reaching thing. I accidentally killed all the mages though. I was TRYING to use them to free connor, but somehow, i ended up killing them all :(, so isolde ended up having to kill her son. I fear Arl Eamon's response once I wake him with the Urn... [/spoiler]
[QUOTE="xsubtownerx"]Yeah i hear that. I quickly figured out to give Morrigan the heal spell. Put it as the #1 priority for her in the tactics.Jandurin>_> There's a heal spell? Yeah. hehehehehe [spoiler] But if you did the Magi tower, you probably have a better healer. Unless you killed her.. Like I did. x.x [/spoiler]
I played on the 360 of that's what you mean. xsubtownerxNo, I meant, how did you find it annoying :lol: Anyway, I could not stop playing the tower. I didn't stop my 12+ hours of play until AFTER I ascended to the top.

And yes, Morrigan can obtain a heal spell, although it kinda sucks.
[spoiler] Unless you killed her.. Like I did. x.x [/spoiler] xsubtownerxI did. Poor poor [spoiler] wynne. I just didn't like her arrogant attitude back at camp. I didn't really MEAN to kill her, it just sort of happened in the dialogue options. lulz [/spoiler]

[/spoiler] Yea, but I dont want to get my rear and kicked up there. Im gonna do some leveling and searching for weapons first. BTW, where can you find enchantable weaps? I cant find any good weaps except for purchases (this may also be due to me not being able to open damn chests because I dont have a rogue)

The quick bar on PC has alot more than that (maybe 14?) and thats not enough! blue_hazy_basicI imagine that might be true for the mage. I'm going to play that on my third time through once I am very comfortable with how the interface works. You can, of course, select talents from the pause menu as well, the radial menu is just for when you want to use talents and stuff on the fly.
BTW, where can you find enchantable weaps? I cant find any good weaps except for purchases (this may also be due to me not being able to open damn chests because I dont have a rogue)h575309go to your party camp. the small slow child (with the dwarf dude) can enchant weapons if you have the proper runes.
Dragon age is one of the best RPG...If i had time i would have played this game for over 10 hrs a day..
[QUOTE="h575309"]Alistar sucks in my gameJandurinPretty sure he sucks in every game. Definitely sucks in mine. I use him as a damage magnet, buffed with resistances and call down area effect damage from afar!
[QUOTE="xsubtownerx"] I played on the 360 of that's what you mean. JandurinNo, I meant, how did you find it annoying :lol: Anyway, I could not stop playing the tower. I didn't stop my 12+ hours of play until AFTER I ascended to the top. Because it caught me off guard, and it took me away from my allies. So i was a little mad. My Dalish Rogue isn't the strongest man alive. he's all about sneaking behind people in combat that are already fighting someone else. Plus I had been playing for like 8 hours straight and it put me in this weird realm of blurriness. but like i said, the rewards you get for exploring make it WELL WORTH the effort.
Edited twice because i suck at typing
[spoiler] How did you do that? lol I took the demon's offer at the end of the fade part, feeling guilty now, but teh offer of powerz is too much! [/spoiler] blue_hazy_basic[spoiler] I never went into the fade. At redcliffe, I took the "go to mage circle to get assistance" so I ended up completing the mage tower before I finished the demonic possession bit in redcliffe. I also could've used Jowan's blood ritual, but after seeing what it did to the poor woman, I couldn't go through with it and reloaded. So, instead of choosing an option, I just went up to Arl Eamon's room and the demon broached me directly which led to a few different options. [/spoiler]

Yea I know about the kid. ENCHANTMENT!!! LOL.... But apparently I dont have any weapons to enchant....

Isn't that from DLC ($7) ? I paid for it on the PC, the other one I got with the game.
haha. They sent me in there RIGHT AFTER i put on the blood dragon armor, so I was way overpowered.Plus I had been playing for like 8 hours straight and it put me in this weird realm of blurriness. but like i said, the rewards you get for exploring make WELL WORTH the effort.

This is going to be my next tactic, except Morrigan has no area effect spells yet :evil: Do you think level 8 is too low for the "tower"?
