Got my first TPK the other day too, in Redcliff. Kicked open a door and ended up mobbed by war dogs. Probably shouldn't have led with the archer and mage... Oh well, gonna go kill them real soon
The Ser thing is a reference to A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin, as the Knights in Martin's world are called Ser.
Either way stop whining the game is fine and better than anything in the last years. So what the story is reused? it's not like BG2 is a shinning beacon of originality or Mass Effect.
Perhaps the biggest and most sad problem with Dragon Age is the all-overshadowing "Lord of the Rings" complex it suffers from. Every little design detail SCREAMS out "omg Peter Jackson is the coolest visionary ever everything in this game must be just like in his vision of Tolkien's world!", which frankly gets pathetic after the third cutscene with flaming arrows raining down on the not-orcs-at-all. And defeating the big bad was not a moment of triumph but a huge facepalm moment as
it led to an explosion at the top of a tower causing the desperate defenders and overwhelming foes alike to pause and look up and then the orcs (no, darkspawn, sorry) fled in panic. It was so identical to the final battle of "The Return of the King" that it wasn't even funny.
Even the player races are limited to the Tolkien flavors - human, elf and dwarf. The only vaguely interesting (because of being original) race in the game - qunari - is unplayable.
