Spoiler

I'm already hyped, as I loved Dragon Age: Origins and I hope the sequel will kick as much ass as the first one.
And what about you guys; are you as hyped as me or is this "Just another RPG"?

 

[Cihparg]

Well, you see, I never got to test Dragon Age: Origins, so I can't really expect too much.
But this is most likely something to wait for, due its from Bioware, I'm fan of them.
Neverwinter Nights 1 was a huge success back in the days. Yet, it's still good!

 

[Arowanna]

I've Neverwinter Nights (1 and 2), but I've never got my thumbs out of my ass and played them (playing some Baldur's Gate at a moment).
And yeah, Bioware are epic! ;D

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Dragon Age was good, I actually played it twice from the beginning to end. Soooo... I'm waiting for the second one also.

 

[leet.firefox]

Too early to say much, but it basically looks like a much-streamlined Origins.
Hopefully this will be a good thing.

Also.

Lets just hope it is not another 30 minute blunder like the first one. 100 hours, yeh right.

Current SDA record for dragon age: origans is 30 minutes.

Ok maybe im being to harsh afterall a lot of the abused bugs were fixed in patches (specifically used release client for run). But it is no excuse to release something that buggy to the market where the makers did not even check the stat reset actually did reset the hidden stat counters or that by morphin and talking you could get outside map bounds.

If you can get some powers where you can pull out giant fucking claw hands from no where I will play it for just that reason.

Who gives a shit? Good for that person. It takes plenty of hours to fully beat the game, especially if you aren't on easy. The game is in no way a "blunder".

So they missed some stuff upon release, who cares?

@DSG, I've to agree with Gilles... If you play the game at Nightmare, do all the quest/plots and etc, you'll have many hours of Game-play.
My first character had 48-50H played, and my second is still running (Time Unknown, +/-50H) and the characters I've created after that is just a few hours into the game.
And if you complete Dragon Age in 30 minutes, that's your "problem"... 'Cause your missing all the fun in speed runs.

The only thing I don't like about Dragon Age (and Mass Effect) is all the DLCs, as I can't buy them Online and they won't be released in stores... So I'm missing parts of the game.

 

[Dr Super Good]

He only did it on easy for extra speed. He could have done it on hardest difficutly and still be sub 2 hours because of the infinite stat bug present in the release version whereby resetting your allocation of stats did not reset how much the game thought you allocated so you could equivently get infinite statistics if done long enough. Although I am pretty sure it was patched (else the game would be a total sham) but it is no excuse for how someone could be so sloppy to make such a noticable bug in the first place that was uncovered minutes after the first people started playing it.

Also the no clip bug I was blowing up a bit, I am aware such RPGs with freedom like TES oblivion suffer from herendous clipping problems at times. Atleast you could not run through walls normally in dragon age like you could in RPGs like TES oblivion lol.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Yeah that "stats bug" was ridiculous.

 

[Piwlady]

DAT LOOKS SOOOO AWESOME. Got to get it <3

The tactical combat system designed for PCs didn't translate well to consoles,

So basically, they're going to make the game casual? Urgh. I can see this going very wrong.

I'm worried this will be another Mass Effect 2 -- they'll change everything and start from zero instead of enhancing what's already there like they should. Hopefully this won't happen.

Thanks to these images you'll always know what sort of a response your character will give -- there's an olive branch for peaceful approaches, a comedy mask for witty remarks and a fist pump full of aggressive responses. These icons also help you distinguish when you're making a romantic move on someone, because the game of love is hard enough

So, they're going to tell you the answer instead of letting you think about it yourself. Good work guys, is that the entire point of a deep PC RPG whooshing past over there? The whole thing where you have to judge the right thing to say for yourself, and deal with it if you fuck up?

I'm not convinced, but we'll have to wait and see.

I worry about the same things. However I heard that the game for PC will be played in much the same fashion, however with strong AI allies, you can focus a lot more on your character if you want. I hope that if you go normal or easy, you can play it more casual, and hard and brutal will be more tactical. I'd say that'd be fair.

 

[Arowanna]

Second that.

 

[Adiktuz]

this game really looks good... havent played DAO though...

 

[Arowanna]

@Adikutz, DA:O is worth of your time, trust me

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Looks like Mass Effect with swords

 

[leet.firefox]

lol that's the poorest observation I've ever seen.

 

[Adiktuz]

@Adikutz, DA:O is worth of your time, trust me

yeah, but I need a better comp for it... ^^
