I thought bioware and ea were not supporting.. Mods

Nothing is to be officially released by Bioware, but the discussion thread for the tools is on their forums.

I'd give it an 8 for right now. If PC controls and party AI could be patched I'd probably take it up to a 9.

Btw PC players, mod tools have been created.

Yes i give it a 8 as well.

Its a really good game that the good out weighs the bad. But there is still bad stuff which brings down the points abit :3.

Never stops people from modding.

This game is a 9.5/10 in my book. I'm 84 hours in and level 17. From the trophies there looks to be 8 main story missions and i'm just about done with the 6th one. I've probably spent over 20 hours in multiplayer too. There is a shit ton of side content and all of it is fantastic, the Role playing aspects are all done fantastically from combat to story.

This is the best RPG that's ever come out in my opinion with the .5 taken out for the bugs. I'm also playing this on PS4 so no issues with controls that so many people are pissed about.

It's a very good game that IMO was only hampered by some graphical bugs and audio glitches. I'm on 360 and I'm sure it looks better on Xbone or PS4. I've always been a console player so the ability mapping hasn't been an issue for me, but I can see why PC players would not be happy about it.

[Krandor]

To be fair about the controls, it's fine with a controller (which is how I play on PC). But I would much prefer to be playing on k/m. It's just unfortunate that the scheme is so goddamn awkward that way.

[Krazy]

My only real problem with the game is the X button (PS4) being used for too many things.

I'm going to start this today and I'm going to a be a tank reaver (I don't really care if this is a bad idea), what are the essential bits of knowledge I must have before starting?
I will, of course, be playing on the hardest difficulty but I probably will turn off friendly fire.

[Koul]

as a melee, I'd say get roll and it's upgraded trait asap.

[Krandor]

Tank Reaver isn't a bad idea persay, just that Reaver doesn't add anything to the tanking.

That said the base tanking abilities are fine so it doesn't matter too much.

Yeah, the idea isn't to be an awesome tank that takes no damage and whatever so much as it is to not have to necessarily 'have' a tank so much as be a DPS that can soak damage so the whole party can just be a wrecking crew with myself being the least specialized in just doing stupid damage.
I'm only going to be a tank so far as I want to be able to get enemies off of the rest of the party and not die which it seems (based on what I've read of the abilities and such) I should be able to pull off.

Devour + Ring of Pain is actually REALLY REALLY good for health recovery. My Iron Bull played by the AI with zero armor skills can survive a long time with that and Combat Roll. Craft your armor and equip the strongest shit, upgrade your skills and you'll be golden. I should also point out the 2handed counter is pretty bleh, there are better ways to invest skill points.

[Prothescar]

tbh guard itself is OP as fuck and you don't need templar or champion for that, so reaver just really covers for a tank spec's weakness: shit ass damage output

[Charismatic]

Awesome, sounds like this will work out pretty dang well then.

[Krandor]

If you whore the shit out of crit it can work out for panicking enemies alot and giving rogues 100% crit chance if they have the proper talents.

[Prothescar]

If anything I'd almost say a tank spec benefits from Reaver more than a normal DD spec, unlimited Guard basically allows you to spam Dragon's Rage with impunity

[Teknique]

I really dislike jump and action button/click both being on X. annoyed the piss out of me when i went to pick up and item and instead fucking jumped

This is what I was thinking. Also, saw something in the 1h tree (I think that's where it was, maybe not, I'll double check) where you gain stamina back as you lose health and I was thinking that sounded good as well if it works with rage.
