Dragon Age Origins

[Ehran]

The gameplay reminds me more of FFXII, with your party flying through on gambits. The difference is, the Tactics system isn't nearly as annoying since all of your options are already available, and you don't have to buy/loot the gambits from lame people.

Also, Alistair is the shit.

i cant get the dragon code to work either :/

Thats probably because your entering a 16 digit code in the xbox redeem code area when its supposed to be 25 digits. I had the same problem...

Until I seen the "Press "Y" to redeem EA code content" at the bottom of the screen... I did it and it worked.

try that lol.

[guartz]

Playing as a mage.

I like how I can direct the battle from the back. I'm like a conductor of bloody death and fire.

[Atreides]

is there any place that has unlimited amounts of cheap arrows? I just got a rogue in my party but all I see are fire and ice arrows, which vendors only have a few of and seem kinda pricey once you get 10-20.

I hope that later on you get some nice looking gear, my people are all wearing this ragtag collection of shit that makes them look like homeless people.

[bori]

Even with having my party members having their first tactic to attack whatever I attack, they still go off and attack randomnly before the actual fighting begins, i.e, once they see the enemy, they go off and attack.

Afterward, if I go into the battle and attack a different enemy, THEN they attack the one I'm on.

Is there any way to have them wait and not go running into battle until I start attacking?


Basically what I want to achieve is simple: focus fire on the one I'm attacking. And for some reason, it still doesn't seem to be working 100% correctly (or as I want it to).

I'm not sure about the arrows, I'm playing as a warrior. But the armor does get better. I'm about 9 hours in and I had some shiney gear before finally being able to equip my dragon armor. Which btw I just can't see Shepard wearing in ME2.

[Brill Weave]

Yeah I'm still sitting in chainmail right now. So my group looks like a bunch of hobos too. All we're missing are bindles.

Im playing as a rouge, I just stealth in, start rapein bitches and they follow suit.

Kind of stinks how expensive arrows are.. does the bow shoot normal arrows without special arrows equipped? I haven't tried yet, that would seem to make sense to me since I haven't seen any vendors sell NQ arrows.

I'm doing Rogue, but I'm ignoring that skill tree on this toon. Doing all dual wield, and maxed persuasion to get all those trophies out of the way.

So is the battle hack and slash button combo's or auto attack and abilities based on selected commands like WoW?

It's like WoW if you controlled your whole party rather then your single character.

[Kwijiboe]

It's like Kotor, but Kotor it feels like Kotor controlled better.

[Bloodwraith]

It's like Fable, complete with the 3 choice spell/attack button choices, at least it is on the 360 version.

[Katlan]

any suggestions for w/console vs PC to get it for? I'd imagine my comp can play the game on max w/o any problem, but would like to hear how it is for PS3/360 because i like big screens and better audio

Fable is pretty much a hack n slash game...

Perm it plays like kotor did, the console version you have 6 slots for mapping abilities, PC you have a bar much like wow.

Kat Im really enjoying my PS3 version, but if your PC can run it, I would get the PC version, toolset, bigger attack hotkey interface, battle zoom out and mods later on.

ok word thanks, that dudes fable response confused the shit out of me

[Bloodwraith]

Fable: Pulling right trigger brings up spells/abilities
Dragon Age: same shit

Only difference is Fable wasnt mapable, It just showed up in the list of crap.

Thats all I meant, sorry for the confusion.

[Brill Weave]

Oh yeah. It's straight up kotor controls. With a few differences, though not many. Thoroughly enjoyable as well dood. If you liked Bioware's other stuff(Kotor, Jade Empire, ME) you should definitely pick it up. The story is pretty damn good so far.

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

nice one looking forward to it, will probably grab it today

PC >>>> PS3 > 360 is what I've been seein' I got it for PC, like all my other Bioware games.

To me it feels like an ultra-polished NWN2, except with basically no "downtime" as HP/MP regenerates very quickly outside of combat. If you've played any of the Neverwinter games on PC (or most any of their DnD based games I guess), it'll feel pretty familiar.
