Dragon Age, the new RPG by Bioware had an amazing success, after the great reviews it got, like Gamespot gave it an amazing 9.5!!

can't wait to get my hand on that game

any Diablo and RPG fan will sure like that game!

Wow that those look pretty good.

Looks like they screwed up the launch big time.

"Dragon Age launch fails: some can't play, others no DLC

Dragon Age: Origins requires you to sign up for Bioware's new social site in order to grab the bonus content or downloadable missions some editions of the game came with, but that process proved to be fatally broken and overly complex for many gamers yesterday. Impulse buyers may not be able to play at all. Isn't PC gaming fun?"

It's an amazing game. Only concern: mages are about ten times more powerful than warriors. The lack of AOE abilities in the early game means that warriors are hobbled in fights against huge mobs of enemies (of where there are many) while mages can just use fireball or cone of fire or tempest and kill everything in a whole area. I get the feeling my warriors are just there to tickle the enemies so they hold still while my mages kill everything, except they're redundant even at that thanks to the "winter's grip" spell.

**Lord Sirian** · 11-08-2009, 06:33 PM

Wow, just saw Metacritic gave it 92%. That means it should be almost as awesome as the Half Life series.

I'll have to see about getting this, considering that it looks a lot like NWN2 and I loved that.

**RockmasteR** · 11-09-2009, 09:13 AM

yeah it's great, you can play it like Diablo series (from top) or like a third person camera, you just scroll the mouse wheel

and I'm playing as a mage!!

awesome powers

**Jason** · 11-09-2009, 01:08 PM

I ordered it. My boss plays it and loves it.

banenwn · 11-09-2009, 03:09 PM

yup great game so far

Tiber Septim · 11-10-2009, 03:42 AM

It's very Neverwinter Nights-ish.
I'm not too far into it yet but all I can really say is the best part of the game is its' story. Without that it would be a very mediocre game.

**RockmasteR** · 11-10-2009, 04:15 PM

there is moments in the game when you start to rip your hair off, when lots of darkspawns attacks you and all your team dies, and you are the only one fighting knowing that you will die too!

I just bought DA Origins yesterday and I find it to be a very good game. I found some of the gameplay complex but that was due to being used to certain mouse and directional controls. Once I got used to things the game seems amazing and the combat is very good as well. I really loved the group play with having a group battle instead of single combat, reminds me of one of my favorite games-Vampire Masquerade. So Far I'm on I think my sixth quest to reach the top of the tower but can't seem to get there yet. I played for almost eight hours last night after getting the game (wife actually bought it for me). A Real Big Hit and with all settings maxed out with a 1680X1050 Res.
