Re: Official Dragon Age: Origins thread
So I'm playing Mass Effect now so I'm generally a "Bioware RPG" fan. So far, it's tedious and kinda boring but for some reason I'm still wanting ti know what happens next.
So did Bioware improve their "RPG style with this game? Is it closer to Knight of the Old Republic or Mass Effect? KOTOR being the better of the 2.

I don't think there has ever been a game more so than Mass Effect that starts out slow and scares a lot of people off, but ends up being a masterpiece. It really does not gel for many until 5-10 hours in. It ends up being one hell of a ride though. Best final stage in video game history...(not last boss, just that last stage)..
I guess I was wondering if Bioware included some of the better aspects of KOTOR in Dragon Age.

Re: Official Dragon Age: Origins thread
I'm probably 5 or 7 hours into it and I'm honestly not sure if I like it. Kind of put it down a week ago to play assassins creed 2 and GoW collection and don't know if i really want to touch it again.
Plus I just got Fallout 3 GOTY edition today. I could never get into F3, but I thought I would give it another chance since people say the expansions are amazing.

This game is a lot better than Mass Effect. The story is much more engaging, and there's a lot less boring dialogue to slosh through. As I said previously in this thread, it's the most engaging RPG I've played since KOTOR.

and I am on the other side of the fence in thinking Mass Effect is the better game. I still think Dragon Age is amazing, it's just that Mass Effect would be my favorite game of this generation if not for Fallout 3...

I agree with Groucho, that Dragon Age is probably the most engaging RPG I've played in a long time.

Thanks. I finally made it to that part and was ecstatic to see i didn't miss him.
So far the game is incredible. The decisions it is having me make are actually pretty tough. There was an early one with an overcharging merchant that actually had me think for a little bit. I have to give Bioware props for actually making little petty decisions not simple.

OK. This thread has convinced me to get this game! And the fact that it's 34.99+$30 in video game promotional credits on Amazon right now helps!

I caved and bought this today for $35 at Best Buy. Had a hard time deciding whether I wanted to buy a console version or the PC version which is supposed to be better. Ah well. Hoping to finish this before Mass Effect 2 in January.

Bought this for PS3 today for $29.99. Since the 3.01 firmware update is required to play this, I don't see myself playing this anytime soon. Hopefully SCEA will release a new firmware revision soon that is problem free.

I have had 0 problems with the new update and I play upwards of 20+ games during the week sometimes. This being one of them.
