Really need to get back to playing this game. Was quite enjoying it even if I don't really 'get' the gameplay.

Dragon Age: Origins is a third-person role-playing game described as a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights franchises. Players create their own character by customizing gender and appearance as well as choosing a race and class. Combat is in real time with the ability to pause at any moment: tactical options include an editor which allows the player to give the AI detailed instructions on how to behave in every possible situation. Although the main storyline is the same for every character created, the game features six unique prologues, two for each race. Dragon Age: Origins received critical acclaim upon release, with praise mostly directed at its story, setting, characters, music and combat system.

Going to add this to the backlog again... for only a little while, due to other games. I'll be back!

Something about BioWare games just rubs me the wrong way, but I'm down to give this a far try. Just got out of orzimmar with a dwarf, about to become a

One of the best things about Dragonage was it made you want to roleplay it. Though your character only has a set amount of reply options and only a few ways to deal with moral dilemma’s, there’s still enough room to create your own character concept and to play it consistently throughout the game.

One of the best things about Dragonage was it made you want to roleplay it. Though your character only has a set amount of reply options and only a few ways to deal with moral dilemma’s, there’s still enough room to create your own character concept and to play it consistently throughout the game. Almost everyone I spoke to has done this while playing, and I think more so than with other RPG’s.
Also: Alistair. Best In-game romance ever.
Think back to other Bioware male npc romances, a disproportionate number of which featured Paladins or paladin-wannabe’s. Knights in shining armor, baby! Except they weren’t, they were either boring or total dicks:
- Ajantis (BG I) boring and a dick,
- Anomen (Baldur’s gate II, the only choice for a female pc!) – total dick.
- Kaiden (Mass Effect, boring!),
- Carth (Knights of the old republic) – boring.
With the previous NPC romances, you often had to play the part of the nice girl, affirming their beliefs, encouraging their convictions, giving compliments whenever possible (worst example being Persona 3, where you actively had to encourage people to sink further into their disfunctions in order to become friends with them). Often it meant picking the most boring answer from your choice of options, hidden between tantalizing insults and sarcastic remarks that would end your romance instantly. With Alistair, no such thing. He actually liked it if you cracked a joke at his expense every once in a while.

In Orzammar now. Unfortunately, I can't complete some quests because of bugs happening in the game. Annoys me to no end.
Status Phantomjest Oct 30, 2015
Got the Dalish to join forces. Now I'm trying to work on some side quests. Unfortunately some can never be completed which is annoying.

Dwarf/Warrior/lv 8. Working on the Circle of Magi quest so that I can complete the Redcliffe quest. Trying to woo Alistair. He's so easy. Also, that voice of his melts me every time.

Completed main campaign as female City Elf, Awakenings, Golems, and Witch Hunt DLC.

I'm starting to think I need to replay Origins for the podcast as well. Maaaaybe Dragon Age 2 as well, but that's iffy. How many hours left until the 30th? Haha.
Also still want to bang out a second play-through of Inquisition, to make some of the alternative choices.
I can maybe do it, depends on how well I remember …

I can maybe do it, depends on how well I remember DA:O. I did complete the game 8 times. But it's definitely a more time consuming game then Inquisition is.
1 week to play through DA:O, DA2, and replay Inquisition (when I'm not even done with the first play-through yet?). Probably not!
How do 2 Dragon Age themed podcasts sound instead? XD
Status DionysusDreams Oct 14, 2014
Trying to get this finished in preparation for Inquisition coming out. Managed to get my save from 2012 that has 10 hours on it already so I don't have to start right from the beginning again.
If I have extra time I'll hopefully fit in another playthrough of DA2 as well, I miss Fenris ;-;
