Gametrailers.com - Dragon Age: Origins - Exclusive E3 Debut Trailer HD

I don't know if this looks a good game from the trailer or if listening to Wheel of Time audiobooks for the past month of so has softened me up for this ... but "For Ferelden!" cried at the start sent a shiver down my spine ;-)

Carai an caldazar!

Bioware games are rarely a let-down, so will be keeping a close eye on this.

 

[Billargh]

I had high expectations till I saw EA at the end

 

[Ctuchik]

i'm looking forward to this, EA or not i have high hopes for this game getting bored of NWN 2 now

I've got the game on pre-order and am really looking forward to it but jesus christ those voices in that video are annoying.

Very good cinematic trailer that.

Missus liked it, but she disappointed that it a game and not a movie. And tbh i dont blame her. Full movie done at that quality be great

[svartalf]

3rd Nov in theory.

 

[Ctuchik]

not sure about this anymore.

it looks an awefull lot like NWN 2

They used nwn2 to roughly model some of the architecture for this game, I think there's a comparison video somewhere.

 

[svartalf]

Strangely, still no info on Oghren. http://dragonage.bioware.com/characters/

 

[LordjOX]

Press guys have got their copies so reviews will pop up at that time, so far I've heard its pretty epic

NWN series is D&D Forgotten Realms, this is an entire new IP with a new roleplaying system

So yeah, it's just not to play then or whatever

Played it for an hour or so and have to say I find it quite a clunky interface (using mouse and keyboard). The story seems ok I guess and the voice acting's certainly not the worst I've heard but I didn't find it all that engaging. Shame really.

I've only played with the mage character so far so maybe the others are more fun but I found it quite difficult to move around and cast spells at the same time as it didn't seem to "lock-on" to the beasties I was fighting. Should I have read the manual first or is that just how it's meant to work?

Ah well, back to Borderlands....

 

[Tallen]

Unless a medieval RPG includes the phrase "Go for the eyes Boo!" i have no interrest

Seen a few bugs, the book you get at start that yield a skill point, each time i "zoned" i got a new book. But could only use it once, had 30 books when i noticed it Was in the town after the big battle at the fortress. Sold them off with other loot had 56 gold.

Played it last night and like it already started as a human noble, looking forward to playing it when I finish work.

 

[Mabs]

playing human noble warrior
got about lvl 10.. loving it

the difficulty has some really odd spikes in places tho, bit off putting..particularly some of the scripted fights

oh and the sloth demon is the most annoying thing EVER.. youll understand when you get there

 

[LordjOX]

Made a dwarf noble warrior and human mage and finished the origins start. Not sure which char to stick with though. Both were pretty fun to play

 

[chipper]

im not a hardcore rpg fan, but i must say im really enjoying this. i got it purely on the strength of reviews which were fantastic btw. some of the dialogue is witty, and made me have a little chuckle.

ive made a human noble and i think im gonna stick with that for now and see how it plays.

my only gripe is like someone mentioned the difficulty seems to be random. fine killin 5-6 mobs in 1 go then i come up against an ogre and no amount of tactical fighting would bring it down and i was forced to lower the difficulty which i thought was a shame cos up until that point i was finding it engaging. my group was completely inadequate for the fight but it was the party i was practically given which was a bit shit.

ogre is very magic weak
most of the big stuff is at an extreme... large heavy hitters tend to be magic weak, casters..melee weak
