Let's talk Dragon Age

[Syndron]

So Dragon Age has been out for a day and I haven't seen many DA topics yet. How are your adventures in Ferelden going?

i haven't got the game but im interested in buying it. however it would be for the 360 so im a bit ...emmmmmmmmm

 

[Mr. Grey]

I have it, but I have work to do first. In fact, I should be doing it right now. You may call it procrastination, I call it multitasking. With a little less tasking on the... well, work.

I'll update once I do get to playing it.

 

[Baby Tea]

I got it for the 360, and am just about to do the ritual to become a Grey Warden.
So I'm not very far at all.

But! It's good so far! I'm very intrigued and excited to see the game pan out.
I'm a City Elf Rogue. Just thought I'd throw that in.

 

[JoshGod]

ill probly get it for x-mas

 

[thisisyournamenow]

whats the game like for the 360 baby tea,

 

[fletch_talon]

I could be wrong, but I don't think its out here (Aus) yet.
But I am planning on getting it at some point. I never played Baldur's Gate but if DA:O lives up to the hype of its spiritual predecessor then it should be awesome.

Damn you! I ahve to wait till Friday, it's killing me. I got really excited when i saw your physical and mental resistances are listed on the character screen. No, i don't know why either.

I'm planning on going Dwarf commoner warrior using two handers. Small people with huge weapons are funnny.

OMG i have to wait till Friday I haven't been this hyped up about a game for a long time. I hope it's as good as people say it is.

So far the game has been very enjoyable. I find the story really engaging. The combat is fun as well, if a bit tough.

However, I hulked out last night after a series of technical issues. (PC version here) I had three CTDs and a blue screen within the span of an hour. This is the first of these sort of problem that I have ever had with games on my PC. After a reset, I updated all of my video and processor drivers. I was then able to play for another hour or so without incident.

 

[Pingieking]

Awesome game. As a fan of NWN, KOTOR, and BG, it's exactly what I expected to be (well, at least 3 hours into the game it is). The graphics are a tad bit dated (as several reviews pointed out), but the gameply is old school Bioware RPG style. Very nice. I actually really like the ample amounts of blood

Elf mage, working towards a blood-mage-style spec with a touch of healing.

I'm somewhat intrigued to get it, but equally not intrigued to get it on the 360 as my computer could barely run the character creator without dying. I very well might pick it up after a while, or if it ever goes down in price, but the lingering taste of Mass Effect (which I did not like at all) is a reminder to not get excited D:

 

[Virgil]

So far, it's been fantastic. I finished enough of the game last night to get to the world map, which took me about 5 or so hours, but I'm likely going to restart with a different character. I don't think I really care for the sword/shield combo.

It was the elevators, wasn't it. Joking aside, what about Mass Effect didn't you like? Gameplay, characters, over-all story?

 

[Eleuthera]

It's pre-loaded and I'm waiting for friday's release date. I'll be cursing my brother for having his birthday friday night, I'm sure.

Are the graphics really bad? From what i've seen in videos, it doesn't look bad at all for the 360 version. I've watches streams too but others say its graphics aren't good at all.

I've pre-ordered it, i can't wait for Friday!

 

[liffi]

I hate the fact that I have to wait to friday to play this game. Wanna play it now!!!

 

[Eisenfaust]

i'm planning on making the switch from the 360 version to the pc version... mostly for graphics upgrades and that touted alternative camera view thingy... luckily there's a computer in my house that can run it (fingers crossed), but lacking that the 360 version is still insanely awesome...

Yeah, the sword and shield came off as a little bland for me. I decided to go with a two-hander approach. That has been pretty fun. Although, I've noticed that some future skills and gear that I have already picked up, have monstrous strength requirements. At only 3 attribute points per level, I feel like I would need to really forego some of the other important attributes just so my character could keep progressing down the skill path I have set him on. As far as I know, you can't 'retrain'.
