Synister Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 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 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 Friend of mine got it and find it awesome... I downloaded it to give it a try, not installed yet
Synister Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Posted January 14, 2010 For a game that had a pretty low budget its pretty good and addicting.. lol They got xpac coming out in march =D
Samapico Posted January 20, 2010 Report Posted January 20, 2010 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 Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Posted January 22, 2010 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

Synister Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Posted January 26, 2010 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.
Shock Posted January 27, 2010 Report Posted January 27, 2010 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 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Posted January 27, 2010 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 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 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.

Synister Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Posted January 29, 2010 Meh I never found the stash useful.. mainly because I'd have all the best gear by lvl 10 XD
Samapico Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 I keep a lot of crap with me, so I get full pretty quick
Aileron Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) 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.

Acer Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 One of my friends got it and beat it easily, he says it's very good.

I thought it was pretty cool and how your choices affect the way they treat you or see you.
