I fall victim to the Dragon Age game yesterday. Played it through most of the night and some of the morning before I remembered I have a class I have to get to. But now all I can think of is powering on my PC and kill some more Darkspawn (and maybe save the kingdom or something).It's weird, since I usually don't play RPGs, especially not fantasy RPGs. But I have to say the DAO is probably the best one I have tried (and this is coming from a guy who couldn't stand Baldur's Gate).
I started the game as a Dalish Elf Warrior on easy mode and I think it was the right choice. I hate micro-managing by party or issuing commands mid-fight, so obviously I get my ass handed to me a lot, but as long as I have enough health potions and injury kits,I'm having fun. Combat is a little hectic and hard to follow, but exploring the world and completing quests is awesome. I can safely recommend it to anyone who has enough time and a strong will (addictive much?)
Who knows, maybe now I start playing more RPGs, at least from Bioware (I loved Mass Effect as well). And if you are playing Dragon Age as well, leave a comment telling me which Origins story you picked.
