Dragon Age: Origins and Choice 2.0

[PsykoDragon]

Is it just me or does it look like the statue in the picture is peeing painful fire?

 

[similar.squirrel]

Hurray for BioWare. I'll be getting this.

 

[ZippyDSMlee]

bah why dose death have to be automatic, why not knock them out and leave them to their fate.

Really walking a heroic road that dose not like to kill tends to be a glitch to most devs, In dues ex Gunther got teleported with you if you knocked him out to the next level, In games like Fallout 1-2 and Arcanum you can leave people who are knocked out.

What I am getting at there are always more than 2 choices of "yes" or "no"....

 

[ae86gamer]

Yet another reason why I already reserved this game. Bioware usually follows through, so I can't wait for that game to come out.

 

[LockHeart]

This is why I love BioWare.

Incidentally, what's everyone think of the Origin stories themselves? I'm quite liking the look of the City Elf one.

 

[ender214]

Sounds pretty awesome. Now instead of being blatantly evil, I can be sneaky about it...

It'll be fun if you could somehow manage to be evil yet trick everyone into thinking you're still going to save them.

 

[Dommyboy]

Ah, it's by BioWare. Well, I expect it will be a brilliant game then with one major flaw or a couple, like all their games.

What I would like to see is choices that impact the entire game and the quest lines that you do, rather then just having single cut off quests that can be worked around.

 

[Zedzero]

I'll believe it when ZP says so.

 

[RyuGaiden]

Holy moly is this game going to be fun! I can't wait! It's going to be the Baldur's Gate I never got to play!

 

[thiosk]

Spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate? Im in!

Aww man, I was totally sold on this game after reading Susan's article...then I noticed that Bioware was the developer.

*sigh*...

And that's a bad thing?

I'm the only person left on this Earth who doesn't like their games, it seems.

Well, now I'm curious -- what don't you like about them?

I'd describe it as "playing their games puts me into a coma of boredom".

By request of friends who love KoTOR and Mass Effect, I played both games at different times, and experience equally disappointing results. I'll admit that I probably didn't give Mass Effect its proper time, but after playing KoTOR and absolutely abhorring the combat system and endless dialogue trees, I was impatient.

Maybe I'll try Mass Effect again some other time, but I can't say I'm too enthused. Unless all other Bioware titles are radically different than the two I played, I'm subscribed to the fact that their games aren't for me.

 

[Undeadpool]

For everyone mentioning The Witcher, it was definitely an influence on Dragon Age (as was Aristotle, George R. R. Martin, and The Faerie Queen).

Good! I'm very glad to hear that (and I'm not being a smartass, as much as it might sound like that). That game's moral choices were some of the most complex I've ever seen. It wasn't even so much gray as it was black or blacker.

Well what're you looking for in an RPG?

Something like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or Fallout 3. A game that can be extremely open-ended and expandable, but with more fun factor than watching paint dry.

In that case you probably won't find much to love about Mass Effect, it's pretty wordy as well. Have ya tried Oblivion?

I have.

I still wonder how "Oblivion" was chosen for that game, when a more apt title would have been "The Elder Scrolls IV: Let's Go For a Walk".
