So anyone try Dragon Age Origins?

[Synister]

Has anyone played Dragon Age Origins yet? It took best RPG of the year in VGA's.. I gave it a shot. Pretty sick game.. what do you guys think?

[Samapico]

Friend of mine got it and find it awesome... I downloaded it to give it a try, not installed yet

[LiDDiS]

Waiting for it to get cheaper..

[whalz]

id rather play maplestory...

[Synister]

For a game that had a pretty low budget its pretty good and addicting.. lol

 

They got xpac coming out in march =D

[Samapico]

I must say I'm playing it a bit too much, these days

 

And... how is it low budget? It sure doesn't seem like it.

[Synister]

They didn't have a big budget to make the game. That's why the graphics aren't that good. The gameplay is phenomenal though. I've beaten it 3 times lol. It's great.

 

There's a gold glitch that works great and it's easy to do. Takes like 5-10minutes to do but you start off with 300+ gold =D

 

PS: Awakening.. wtfxpacomeoutalready

You playing on PC? From what I read the gold glitch doesn't seem to work on PC.

[Synister]

I play on xbox360.

 

and the glitch is putting an expensive item in ur Junk, go to a merchant, hit Y then really quickly hit A after. U will sell the item twice, buy it back and repeat.

Downloaded it for PC. It's surprisingly a tough game. I like it a lot. Lots of stuff to do and a decently long game play. I think I'm only halfway through it right now and I've been playing on and off for like 3 weeks.

[Synister]

Yea my first playthrough took over 34 hours lol.. and it's harder on console than PC since PC can pause, tell everyone what to do then play, u can't do that on console =(.

 

What's funny is on PC theres addons u can get to change the game.. there's ppl adding code for extra dialogue options and whatnot for the game..

 

Some people went through the trouble of making Morrigan Bi, when she's originally straight XD

[aquarius]

Downloaded this game. Clicked the install file and it installs super fast (too fast). But it's lying, it doesn't install. So I said w/e and never looked for a solution.

haha

 

I got a module to get a chest in the camp, kind of like the private stash in diablo 2, which is VERY useful.

[Synister]

Meh I never found the stash useful.. mainly because I'd have all the best gear by lvl 10 XD

[Samapico]

I keep a lot of crap with me, so I get full pretty quick

I bought it at a store a while back and finished it yesterday.

 

The funny thing is, a few months back I was able to fix up my laptop to handle high-end graphics with a ViDock, and found myself in a debate between Fallout 3 and Dragon Age. I ended up siding with Fallout 3, and bought Dragon Age after completing that game first, and it turns out that I'd say it was the right decision.

 

 

Dragon Age is good. Its fun watching blood spray all over your character. The cinematic and in-game combat looks a little like something out of Bravehart, though the boss kills look like something out of LoTR. The graphics are top notch, and I can only see one flaw in the animation.

 

But....

 

Alright, this is a little bit of a spoiler, though not much. There was this point where I had a 'holy shit' moment over this game. It was in the big climatic battle. It starts off all huzzah and crap, and then you reach a certain point where there's this time-out, and then all your NPC companions take turns telling you how you changed their lives, how you're a good friend, etc. About the third or fourth companion, it hit me. I was thinking 'Holy shit, half of this game involves sitting through the NPCs whining about their lives.'

 

The thing about NWN/KOTOR/Mass Effect/Dragon Age series is that you don't *play* it, you *watch* it. Its all about multiple dialog options and plot development and all that good stuff, but the astute observer will note that aside from the fact that its no longer DnD rules (a big plus), they could have made Dragon Age as NWN 1 module and it would have worked. The series hasn't really made any developments conceptually. I mean, it has better graphics, a different theme, and a lot of the processes are more streamlined, but at the end of the day, Dragon Age is still Neverwinter Nights 3.

Dragon Age revolves around on how your character builds friendship/relationships with the NPCs and how they all have different opinions and whatnot. I thought it was pretty cool and how your choices affect the way they treat you or see you.
