Dragon Age: Origins??

I checked out this game at gamestop.com and I have a few question.

1. Is it like WoW or Oblivion? If so, I won't buy

2. Is it a mmorpg? Won't get it either.

3. Is it a linear game?

4. Is it worth getting the Special Edition?

5. Do you create your own character?

3. IsDragon Age: Origins??
1. A little, it is an RPG. It's made by Bioware, the people who brought us Star Wars KOTOR, and Mass Effect. Expect dungeons and dragons and magic and swords.

2. No. There is no online play at the moment

3. No. Everthing is free to do, and every choice affects the game.

4. Doubt it, things arent looking good with the game. Source - (Official Xbox Magazine's latest Preview.)

5. Indeed! Deep character customization!

Dragon Age:Origins PS3 Help!?

I am having a hard time understanding the combat system so I had a few questions:



1. How do I control my party members? And what i mean by that is preventing them from attacking whoever they want.



2. How do i target specific enemies for each character?



Right now all i have is Me, Alistair, the dog and that female witch so I keep her at "ranged" and everybody else at "aggressive"Dragon Age:Origins PS3 Help!?
the aggressive is the problem. if AI is setup as aggressive they will actively seek out and follow enemies. I can't recall specifics for the AI (someone stole my copy a long time ago) but there should be an option in tweaking the AI's like focusing on the mains target, or a specific characters target. just tinker with all their settings (I know its a pain) but if there's a problem the presets are always there. I would definitely suggest making Alistair a tank style class if you're own character isnt setup that way.

Dragon Age Origins: Need pro help on Arcane Warrior / Blood Mage build?

Hello im asking for your opinion and well mostly help on building my arcane warrior on DAO. Ive done some initial research based on some things a arcane warrior should have and these is what i have come up with so far. I have chosen a level cap of 25 as a end result for this so bare with me. The first thing is the initial stats of my character i will post here at level 1



Human Magi



Strength: 11

Dexterity: 11

Willpower: 14

Magic: 16

Cunning: 12

Constitution: 10



Now by adding the attributes gained from the fade the stats change to



Strength: 11 鈥?essence: 4 = 15

Dexterity: 11 鈥?essence: 4 = 15

Willpower: 14 鈥?essence: 4 = 18

Magic: 16 鈥?essence: 2 = 18

Cunning: 12 鈥?essence: 5 = 17

Constitution: 10 鈥?essence: 2 = 12



now thats out of the way theres the specialization factors arcane warrior adds +1 to dexterity and Blood Mage adds +2 to constitution so that buffs up



Constitution = 14 and Dexterity = 16



so the end result is



Strength: 11 鈥?essence: 4 = 15

Dexterity: 11 鈥?essence: 4 = 15 + 1 = 16

Willpower: 14 鈥?essence: 4 = 18

Magic: 16 鈥?essence: 2 = 18

Cunning: 12 鈥?essence: 5 = 17

Constitution: 10 鈥?essence: 2 = 12 + 2 = 14



Next i stated the level cap would be 25 you get 5 attribute points in the beginning and 4 attributepoints at level 5 and 3 attribute points every level so the total amount of points would come up to 78. Now we have 78 points to spend on attributes



My initial Idea was this for stats



Strength: 11 鈥?essence: 4 = 15

Dexterity: 11 鈥?essence: 4 = 15 + 1 = 16

Willpower: 14 鈥?essence: 4 = 18 + 10 = 28

Magic: 16 鈥?essence: 2 = 18 + 42 points = 60

Cunning: 12 鈥?essence: 5 = 17

Constitution: 10 鈥?essence: 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 + 26 = 40



so 42 + 26 + 10 = 78 attribute points spread between 2 skills.



Next would be the Spells section this is what i have huge trouble with i have some clue but i need help the cap is 25 therefore i can have up to 27 spells by leveling to 25 not accounting tomes that will come to factor later.



at the moment im thinking



max 4 in crushing prison line = tlekenisis

max 4 in arcane warrior line

max 4 in blood mage line

max 3 in cold spells only up to cone of cold

max 2 for arcane for the arcane shield

max 1 for rock only for rock armour

max 3 for misamia line = Entropy



as you can see ive only use dup 18 spells i have 9 more to choose neeed help here lol



I know the key for a arcane warrior is the sustainables i already know the basics about that like combat magic and shimmering shield on so next we move to equipment yay my fave part =]



Helm: Helm of Honnleath

Body: Wade鈥檚 Superior dragonbone plate armour

Gauntlets: Wade鈥檚 Superior dragonbone plate gauntlets

Boots: Wade鈥檚 Superior dragonbone plate boots

Amulet: Lifedrinker

Belt: Andruil鈥檚 Blessing

Ring: Lifegiver

Ring: Blood Ring

Weapon: Spellweaver

Shield: Fade Wall



and that would be my equipment of course they gives stat boosts which will end up like this



Helm: Helm of Honnleath +2 to all attributes

Body: Wade鈥檚 Superior dragonbone plate armour for mana regen

Gauntlets: Wade鈥檚 Superior dragonbone plate gauntlets mana regen

Boots: Wade鈥檚 Superior dragonbone plate boots yea again mana regen

Amulet: Lifedrinker +4 to spellpower whats not to like

Belt: Andruil鈥檚 Blessing +2 to all attributes + mana regen

Ring: Lifegiver + 10 to constitution

Ring: Blood Ring blood magic use 25% less of health and more ffective ect

Weapon: Spellweaver +5 to magic and mana regen

Shield: Fade Wall mana regen



attributes with all the amplifiers



Strength: 15

Dexterity: 16

Willpower: 28 + 4 = 32

Magic: 60 + 9 = 69

Cunning: 17

Constitution: 40 + 14 = 54



yea another part sorry this is dragging i know this is the last section ok youve seen everything now i would like your opinion on the attributelayout if youd change it like more into willpower less into it more cons less mage ect seccondly ur thoughts on my equipment and thirdly most important i need help choosing 9 extra spells thank you and before i forget my skills would be to max



coercion and combat training any thoughts on that most welcome



thank you for reading this long propably boring post i enjoyd writing it hopefully as much a su enjoy reading and helping me =]Dragon Age Origins: Need pro help on Arcane Warrior / Blood Mage build?
I would recommend getting Blizzard, you already have 3 of that line and blizzard is very useful for freeze and dammage over time.



On that note, getting three of the lightning line would also be useful as shock deals great damage and tempest can be placed right on top of blizzard for even more damage.



The full manna clash line should certaintly be taken. While the first two are useless, manna clash obliterates casters and spell might allows for the extremely powerful "storm of the centuary" spell combo (cast blizzard then tempest with spell might activated on the same spot to create a storm which deals intense dps over a huge area).



Finally, take 1 in heal. Its always useful.

Dragon age origins help?

i am bing a warrior and like 2 handed but its to slow and at the start i keep losing health but when i use sword board i don't lose health say i meet an emmisary (mage darkspawn) i nearly died does it get better or is there something i can do or do you recommend a sword and board character by the way im human.Dragon age origins help?
no offense but 2H warriors are the worst build you can be...trust me go duel wield you can triple the damage output of a 2H plus there is already 2 ready made party members that are 2h warriors.



good luck :D



oh but im not by any means trying to stop you, 2h warriors have there momentsDragon age origins help?
Play how you want, if you like a 2h warrior like me then just do it...yes you will take more damage than a Sword n board warrior because tehy are meant to be the tanks of the game... a 2h warrior is meant to be more of a dps powerhouse which it is...it will get alot better once you level up more and get better gear...and DS emissaries are meant to be tough which is why they are all yellow/orange named, which means you will need your team/strategy to beat it until your all high lvlDragon age origins help?
The game will get easier aslong as you spend your skill/talent points correctly and use a good party.

    Dragon age origins .. Any good ?

    I like RPG's and games to level up your character change clothes, weapons, magic , interact with people e.c.t .. played fable 2 (liked) Oblivion (still deciding due to terrible waiting time and lag, seems a great game though) Fallout 3 (unbeatable) was wondering about this one ?? ratings out of 10 please and good / bad points ??Dragon age origins .. Any good ?
    You will like Dragon Age. It's a very immersive fantasy RPG. It's a bit like a choose your own adventure book with some battles in between. It's also fun to re-play with different kinds of characters.



    Check the system requirements. If Oblivion is lagging on your machine, Dragon age will be 100 times worse.Dragon age origins .. Any good ?
    my friends started playing it and for a while its all they talked about

    its supposed to be awesomeDragon age origins .. Any good ?
    I haven't played it but the reviews are all good. A friend of mine is playing it right now and loves it. He says the closest game to compare it to as far as they way it plays is Knights of the Old Republic.

    Legendary Weapons:

    * Ageless- When you go to the king's throne room in Orzammar you might notice a piece of the floor likes to act like a pressure plate (You'll hear sound and see movement). Walk up to the throne and click it like you would any other interactive object, click LT or RT to cycle through the party and move 3 of the members onto the above mentioned pressure plate, then take your main character and click the throne again while the other party members are still on the plate. If they do not stay naturally there's an option in your command menu to make them "stay".

    A dragon will appear, defeat it and the item it yours.

    * Keening Blade- Firstly finish the quest "Unbound" (check here for more information: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Unbound )

    Then collect the items from the list, go to the "dirty back alley" and defeat the demon that appears to claim your prize.

    1. Topsider's Hilt- drops from a Genlock Emissary in a southern cave corridor.

    2. Topsider's Pomme- found in a vase inside Ruck's cave.

    3. Topsider's Blade- after defeating the Ancient Darkspawn in the south-central area.

    * Yusaris Greatsword: Loot the body of Shah Wyrd after finishing this quest- http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Watchgua…

    * Blood Dragon: Given to you buy a code sold with Mass Effect 2.

    * Juggernaut: There are 3 tombstones in Brecilian Forrest- Examine them, defeat the enemies and collect the armor pieces. Inside the runes there's a jug- Fill the jug with water, place the filled jug on top of the nearby altar, pray at the altar, drink from the jug, take the jug back to the fountain and dump the remains. A door will open where you can get the rest of the armor.

    * Reapers Vestment: Buy um at the Wonders of Thedas shop in Denerim.

For 3 scales he'll make you the first set, 3 more scales and he'll make the second, then you need the Dragon Scale from the Dragon (yes you need to kill it) found during the "Urn of Sacred Ashes" quest so he will make the 3rd and final set.

    In Mass Effect 2, does it matter which companions you take on missions?

    Like i know some missions require certain companions but for the non-character specific missions, is there any effect besides combat of who you bring? Like for example in Dragon Age, if you made a certain decision it could cause them to hate or like you more.



    If it matters, its PC version.In Mass Effect 2, does it matter which companions you take on missions?
    honestly? not really. combat is the only thing you are looking at with your party selection. you can flesh out back-stories and such with the characters you take, but you do practically the same thing just speaking to them on the normandy.In Mass Effect 2, does it matter which companions you take on missions?
    Other than combat, yes it does have an impact, though it's not very much. Some characters will have unique things to say, somtimes making comments where others don't even speak.



    For example, take Mordin's loyalty quest, where you go to the old Krogen hospital. Close to the front door you find a dead human. If you select it Mordin will tell you that the human was experimented on. If you choose to say "Experimenting on humans is wrong!", Shepard will say "Experimenting on humans!? Thats the kind of crap that makes Cerberus look like a GOOD idea!" (saying this with the implication that he doesn't like Cerberus). If you have Miranda with you, she will comment "I'm putting that in my report." and her face sort of looks like this %26gt;8^( .In Mass Effect 2, does it matter which companions you take on missions?
    it matters near the end of the game. *SPOILERS*

    for example if there is someone who hates you they will die at the end of the game. but if you DON'T choose a character who is good in combat (like grunt), they can protect that person from dying.

    Dragon Age Origins: a few questions?

    I'm thinking about buying this game, so I wanted to ask some questions before, just to be sure if I should.



    1- What exactly do you have to do in this game?



    2- Is there marriage or pregnancy?



    3- Are there many differences on playing with a male or female character?



    4- Is there any difference between PC, PS3 and XBOX 360 versions?



    5- Is it multiplayer?



    Waiting for your questions :DDragon Age Origins: a few questions?
    1- Unite the various races of Ferelden to fight with you against the enemy threatening to overcome the world



    2- No but you can follow romance plots with certain Allies. Actually one of the game endings does involve a pregnancy



    3- Yes Characters react very differently to you depending on your gender and race, and different Genders can pursue different relationships



    4- 360 runs smoother but has worse graphics. PC version is apparently better because it's more suited to the keyboard and mouse control



    5- No.Dragon Age Origins: a few questions?
    1. Epic quest to save the world from invading evil, kind of like Lord of the Rings or Song of Ice and Fire if you're familiar with that. You choose from a few different classes... warrior, thief, or mage, and then you specialize within that class depending on the role you want to play, all while managing your party members who play their own roles.



    2. There is no marriage or pregnancy, but you can have a romantic relationship with your choice of four characters, depending on your gender (including a couple who are open to same sex relationships), and there are softcore sex scenes if you choose to go that route... no exposed genitals.



    3. In social interactions, yes, and in the final battle it can affect the ultimate outcome... I haven't played as both so I'm not fully sure of the extent of it all.



    4. The PC version is universally recognized as having the superior interface and superior graphics, but if your PC is not up to it, it's still worth playing on either of the consoles.



    5. No multiplayer elements, no.Dragon Age Origins: a few questions?
    1. give sexual favors to unsuspected dragons while they use their tales to sodomize you.

    2. yes to both, you can marry the dragon and give births to half dragon half human babies.

    3. No, both can be sodomized and give birth

    4. No, the game is the same on all consoles

    5. Yes, only in theory though

    eg; You play the main character and your dad can play the dragon.



    Hope iv helped :)

  • Do elves make good warriors is Dragon Age Origins?

    Well my favorite race in any rpg is Elves but i want to be a warrior because i have beat it as a human warrior and dont want to be a dwarf because i think dwarves are stupid. But my question is



    1. Do elves make good warriors?



    2. Do they look good in metal armor such as plate because my characters looks matter to me in RPGs.Do elves make good warriors is Dragon Age Origins?
    1. They are fine as warriors. In the beginning elves have a small racial bonus in magic and willpower, but this becomes irrelevant after a couple of levels. Any race can easily be any class.



    2. They don't look any different than a human in heavy armor.Do elves make good warriors is Dragon Age Origins?

    On dragon age origins, the mages tower in the fade- need help.?

    im stuck on the mages tower in the fade defeating the sloth demon. i have defeated the 5 mini demons on the outside and 2 of the nightmare realms. i have helped all my characters but they disappeared. when i try fighting the sloth demon on my own it is an epic fail. i think my team members cant fight with me because i need another team member to do the 3rd nightmare realm. is there anyway to help?On dragon age origins, the mages tower in the fade- need help.?
    if you did 2 of the nightmares. go free your 3rd character and you'll have your entire team when you fight sloth demon. He can be a pain he's got 5 or 6 forms i can't remember and I'm guessing since your alone he probably kills you in his first or second.



    Best of luck to ya



    oh and if you didn't have a full team i think your best bet is to put difficulty on easy and just plow through him, It'd be a bit challenging on anything higher.

    My memory is rather vague, and I did this awhile ago. but I do remember you have to go around get all your forms so you can go thru diff things. i don't remember Sloth being difficult though, if you control all your characters just have someone spam heal your tank and have your tank just keep taunting.

    Dragon Age Origins / Expansion / Specialization / ETC questions HELP !?

    What if I already learned 2 specializations, do I get some point to learn a new specialization in the expansion ? I just found out expansion has new specializations. So I'll get specialization points at like level 30 ? Or only able to use the one point I haven't used in the original ? Don't I start at level 25 ? The max lv for the original is 25 and if I end the game in level 25 I'll be continuing the game at lv 25 ? After beating awakening, isit possible to play the game from the beginning in more difficult mode but the same characters with same level and stats. items like in Diablo ll ?

    Dragon age origins help?

    well i have decided to play a human warrior 2 handed but i was wondering about the party i was thinking my favorite characters are alistair because he's just a normal guy cocky but not annoying plus a tank then theres morrigon just bad *** my favorite woman character in the game just because she makes funny conversation then finally oghren he's got good attitude very jolly like that and funny so what do you think?Dragon age origins help?
    Just make sure Morrigan gets the healing skills. Other than that, sure. You can play with any mix you want. Some people go by skills, but you're choosing by personality; that's cool. This kind of game you can play any way you want. Just be sure to level the characters up properly.Dragon age origins help?
    Not much to think about. :) If that's the party you want to play with, then go for it!Dragon age origins help?
    If you're putting Alistair and Oghren in your party, I'd reccomend going with another class other than warrior. 3 warriors, even if you mix it up between 2-handed, dual weapon, and shield, is a bit unbalanced. I really enjoy playing rogue and a lot of the skills overlap with warrior. Try playing a rogue or trading in one of the other warriors for Liliana or Zevran. Good luck!

  • Dragon Age Origins Questions?

    Ok well I have a few questions pertaining to this game, because its really quite frustrating.



    1. If your a female elf can you become queen and rule with Alistair?



    2. How can you stay with Alistair if your an elf?



    3. Can any of your characters deal the last blow to the Archdemon?



    4. If you let Alistair kill Loghain what happens?



    Well that's all I can think of for now, so if you can answer any of these that would be great. *I don鈥檛 mind spoilers*Dragon Age Origins Questions?
    1. No. Only the human noble can be the queen.



    2. Either don't make him the king, or "harden" his personality and he will keep you as his mistress.



    3. Only a warden can deal the final blow, that character will die unless you partake in Morrigan's ritual.



    4. Nothing special happens, you are asked to choose the new ruler and the game continues. The same thing happens if you kill Loghain yourself. But, Loghain must die if you want Alistair to stay with your party. He will leave you right then if you let him live.

    Which of these four sequels (Halo, Fable, Dragon Age, Assassin's Creed) would you get? Why?

    There are announcements for these games, and it's most likely you know about Halo:Reach and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.



    Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, where you still play as Ezio and starting to gather assassin's in Rome to take down the templars is coming out November 16, 2010.

    Fable 3's supposed to come out next year (latter part of the year if I remember correctly.) where you're supposed to be a youngin' rising up to be King and ruling the country. (Even though you could be king in Fable 2, this ones actually part of the main story..)

    Dragon Age 2 is coming out March of 2011 with a Blight Survivor by the name of Hawke as your main character.

    Halo:Reach.. well. it should be well-known enough.





    Which ones would you get and why?Which of these four sequels (Halo, Fable, Dragon Age, Assassin's Creed) would you get? Why?
    Halo Reach- the online play is going to be awesome, a lot of people will be online, customized spartan, the game is just going to be awesome.



    Fable 3- As much as I was disappointed with fable 2 fable 3 looks promising, I won't get it right away but if the reviews stand and it lives up to the hype then I could see myself buying the game later on.



    Personally was not a fan of Assassins creed but thats just because I'm not into those kind of games, I will not be getting Dragon age 2 because I played the first one and was very disappointed in the game overall-dragon age origins was overrated in my opinion and I usually love games like that.
    Assassins creed. Halo reach, I have played and I was really into Halo 3 but not so much anymore into the halo series. I have never played Dragon age, but I want to but I would start with the first one and not the sequel. Fable II was very good and Assasins creed was also very good. overall I prefered Assassins creed a little more so I would say brotherhood but you forgot the amazingness that will be: Dead rising 2.Which of these four sequels (Halo, Fable, Dragon Age, Assassin's Creed) would you get? Why?
    i would get either halo reach, or assassins creed: brotherhood

    assassins creed: brotherhood - simply cause there is online and it already was an awesome game before multiplayer should just make it even more awesome

    Halo reach - because halo was already a pretty fun series and this is just bringing it even further and not only that think call of duty on halo with the class changes that shall be fun :)
    Halo: Reach - Because i'm a diehard Halo fan, and I was really into Halo 3, but it was also too easy 2 beat, even on legendary and I kno Halo Reach's gameplay is gonna be awesome, and i kno its gonna be more harder 2 beat, and aliens are gonna be tougher opponents, and cant wait 2 get online



    Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - Because I already have Assassin Creed 1 %26amp; 2, and there were really, but 2 easy, and I wanna get Brotherhood, because i think its gonna be challenging!Which of these four sequels (Halo, Fable, Dragon Age, Assassin's Creed) would you get? Why?
    the only one i recon is halo reach. never heard of assasin's creed or brotherhood

    THANX SO MUCH! :DGood RPG games like Dragon Age?
    Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. You will not see better graphics in an RPG, at least until Elder Scrolls 5:Skyrim comes out in November

    Same company that makes the Fallouts, but no guns. Just swords, bows, etc

    $19.99Good RPG games like Dragon Age?
    Maybe you should try some of BioWare's older work. Dragon Age is the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2 so maybe you should check that out. They also made Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire. I know you said no sci-fi but technically Star Wars is fantasy (based in part on medieval lore).



    I've heard The Witcher is really good.Good RPG games like Dragon Age?
    Well There is a dragon's age 2 out on the market.



    However, you might look into "Two Worlds 2" and the original "Two Worlds" game.
    Have you played any of the Fable series? I think they would be great for you. :)

    *FREE* RPG similar to Dragon Age/Ultima Online/D&D, Neverwinter Nights, etc.?

    I'm looking for a FREE RPG that is similar to Dragon Age, Ultima Online, Neverwinter Nights, or D%26amp;D Warriors of the Etenral Sun. The criteria includes:



    1.being able to create and customize your own character

    2.Involve elves, dwarfs, mages, etc.

    3. Free and no monthly fees

    4. Can be online or offline

    5. Is not like Perfect World, that game is silly, repetitive and pointless.

    6. Preferably not Anime in style or look (like Final Fantasy), but that's of least concern.



    I have searched all over even for old genesis/snes roms but to no avail.



    Thanks for any help!*FREE* RPG similar to Dragon Age/Ultima Online/D%26amp;D, Neverwinter Nights, etc.?
    You mention Neverwinter Nights, do you already have it? Then you can download free player-made modules from NWVault. Check the ratings to find the good ones, I've provided links to a few that I like.



    Tales of Arterra 1: http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Mod鈥?/a>

    (there's also a Tales of Arterra 2)

    (again, there's a sequel)



    There are also online servers for NWN that you can join, again for free. Not sure if this is what you're looking for or if you want a new game altogether, but I thought I should mention it.



    New games that are good AND free are rather difficult to find. Runescape that was already mentioned here is the only one I can think of, but it's more like an MMORPG I believe.*FREE* RPG similar to Dragon Age/Ultima Online/D%26amp;D, Neverwinter Nights, etc.?

    I finished and LOVED Dragon Age, what now?

    I've tried a few games trying to find something as good, but with no luck. Sadly, I fear that nothing will live up to it. I really liked the character development and large scope of the game. I found myself CARING what happened, and couldn't wait to play once the kids went to bed. Yes, I'm a mom who has never been into games, but Dragon Age changed that.



    What would you recommend? These are the games that I've tried that bombed in comparison...



    Mass Effect

    Mass Effect 2

    Avencast

    Elder Scrolls Oblivion

    The Witcher

    A few others that REALLY sucked...



    Help!! What should I play next?I finished and LOVED Dragon Age, what now?
    Persona 4

    Neverwinter Nights

    Baldur's Gate (Dragon Age was the spiritual successor to the Baldur's Gate franchise)
    Sadly, very few games are as fun as dragon age. I have yet to find one to play that is like it. You could try Final Fantasy 13 but in my opinion it wasn't so great. Try Borderlands... you might like it.I finished and LOVED Dragon Age, what now?
    Wow. First of all, I love you for being a girl who plays RPGs. I would have suggested the Mass Effect games and Oblivion. The Fallout trilogy is dope, and Elder Scrolls Morrowind. Just not FF13. It's just 1 giant tutorial.
    I would recommend Final Fantasy 13. The game is awesome!!I finished and LOVED Dragon Age, what now?
    All dragon age is is an offline world of warcraft. But I definitely wouldn't recommend to start playing that. You may as well kiss your life away.
    You've shot down a couple of games I would normally have recommended for somebody who liked Dragon Age. I could suggest Fallout 3, but based on your not liking ME2 or Oblivion, you might not like that either.
    I know exactly what you mean.

    I'm a total and utter game geek (RPG's mainly!) and I found myself caring about what happened too. It soon became my favorite game.

    I've tried so many games, but sadly none compare to the depth and beauty of Dragon Age.

    I've heard borderlands is really good - though i've not tried it yet, as I have a huge pile of games to get all the achievements for!

    I would Suggest Fable 2. But it's quite a disappointment compared to Dragon Age.

    However, i'll let you know if I find anything somewhat similar (:

    World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings Online, and Dungeons and Dragons are some good ones I've played with friends, hope this helps :)
    heh. Your a bit picky. Neverwinter nights is the closest game i can think of to dragon age. But its only on pc though. Neverwinter nights is exactly like dragon age in so many area's, and i find neverwinter nights to be a better, and more fun game than dragon age. Dragon age is like a watered down version of neverwinter nights.



    Neverwinter nights 1 had a certain feel to it that is not there in any other game i have played, but neverwinter nights 2 has incredibly amazing modules (mods) that add a completely new campaign that i find have a much better atmosphere and story than nearly all games on the market.



    If you do get neverwinter nights 2, download the Dark waters module, you definitely won't be disappointed.Good RPG games like Dragon Age?
    You should try out Divinity 2 Ego Draconis

    Dragon Age origins: Alistair will be king?

    Ok I have been playing Dragon age for about 2 weeks, and thus far I have saved the circle, the woods, and Redcliff. Now I have a good question. My character has her ralationship level with Alistair maxed, and I have one going with him. I know that on ending has him as king, but i dont want that. I just saved the Arl with the Sacred ash, and he said something to the effect of him becoming king. I said " Alistair would be a terrible king " And the Arl said he had no choice. Does this mean he WILL be king, or can I still prevent this? Btw I already "hardened" him with the visit to his sister.Dragon Age origins: Alistair will be king?
    No, remember, Alistair started this whole quest saying that Arl Eamon could unite the country. What the Arl said just means that Eamon thinks that Alistair has the stronger claim to the throne. What ultimately happens is up to you.



    If you are playing a male human noble, it is possible for YOU to be king. The Couslands are second in rank only to the royal family.



    If you are playing a female human noble, it is possible for YOU to be queen, again for the same reasons, and ONLY if Alistair is king and you announce at the Landsmeet that you will rule beside him.



    A hardened Alistair actually makes a very good king, regardless of who winds up queen, but if you tell him you think he should marry Anora he's not exactly thrilled. If he's in love with your character, and you say you'll rule beside him, then he's all for it. If he's hardened, he'll marry Anora, but keep a female character of any kind on the side.



    It is possible if you are playing any other type of character to leave Anora with the throne and run off with Alistair to go on being Grey Wardens. Just make sure that you don't let Loghain live. If he does, Anora will try to execute Alistair if she is made queen. If Akistair is made King, and you let Loghain live, he will be so angry he leaves the party.Dragon Age origins: Alistair will be king?
    You can make Loghain's daughter the queen, but I think she makes Loghain a Grey Warden and Alistair either leaves or gets executed, but just save before you make the decision and take a different route should it not work out.Dragon Age origins: Alistair will be king?
    you can keep him a grey warden and stay with him and you both may live after that.

    there are maaaaany possibilities, depends on your decisions, i don't want to spoil to you telling everything but in short:

    1.ali king, ali dies, warden lives

    2.ali king, ali lives, warden dies

    3.alir king, ali lives, warden lives (fem.warden becomes queen if she is human noble+ ali hardened)

    4.alir king, ali lives, warden lives (fem.warden if not human noble cannot became queen, only lover of ali, and only if ali is hardened)*

    5.ali king, anora queen, everyone lives, except L

    6.ali king, anora queen, alis dies, warden lives

    7.ali king, anora queen, alis lives, warden dies



    8.ali stays warden, ali dies, warden lives

    9.ali stays warden, ali lives, warden dies

    10.ali stays warden, ali lives, warden lives (romance, if any, continues, any origin)



    11. ali wont stay warden, won't became king

    Dragon Age Origins Expansion Pack?

    so, i have 3 brandy-new questions about Dragon Age Origins.



    1. when does the expansion pack come out (i think its called the "Awakening")



    2. it says that there are new companions, and one "old favorite" would that be Alistair? (please say yea)



    3. does what happened in the first one stay? (like if you married Alistair and became queen, would you still be queen and married to Alistair? it says on the website you can import your character, so would i keep my friend-ship level with Alistair?)



    thanks much :-) and if the info's not out yet, sorry.Dragon Age Origins Expansion Pack?
    1. March 16th



    2. He will be in the game, but probably not as a companion. The indication is that Ogrehn is coming back because he is seen fighting with you in the trailer.



    3. They said that all of your choices from the old game would impact the expansion. So I assume you would be both Queen and the new warden commander.Dragon Age Origins Expansion Pack?

    Dragon Age: Fort Drakon (Final Battle)?

    I'm having a lot of trouble breaking in here.... I can't even get past the entrance. It's my first playthrough so I screwed up my characters' attributes and abilities and I turned down Morrigan's ritual so I lost all my aoe spells; I didn't train Wynne in any because I always had Morrigan in my group, and I have 3 other warriors in my group (probably a horrible setup but they were the only ones I felt I didn't screw up too badly) so I don't have a lot to work with here. My gear is okay, mostly tier 6 and 7 (dragonscale, legion armor, Yusaris) but I'm almost out of health and lyrium potions. Anyway, my group setup is Alistair, Shale, and Wynne.... any tips or bugs I could use to my advantage? The emissaries keep blowing my team up before I can take them down, I take such heavy damage that Wynne can't even keep up, and sometimes the little dragons don't even shatter when I Petrify-%26gt;Stonefist them and it's really irritating because not only does Wynne run out of mana 30 seconds into the fight, but she has less than 200 health and dies in about 2 hits (or some other team member gets Overwhelmed or fire-breathed on).

    Frankly I'm not sure if I can take the archdemon. I was able to beat tough battles before after repeated tries (Flemeth and Cauthrien come to mind, the first few attempts I could barely shave off 10% from them) and I was able to take the High Dragon at the temple near Haven on the first try so I thought I was doing good and I didn't screw up my characters as bad as I thought but I guess I did.... and I'd really prefer not to accept Morrigan's ritual (doesn't fit in with the way I want to play my Warden) and fight all the way up to Fort Drakon AGAIN to potentially fail.

    Am I out of options?Dragon Age: Fort Drakon (Final Battle)?
    WOW, sounds like you messed up with your group dynamics. it would help to know your group's stats and talents. I'm surprised that you relied on Morgan and decided not to cater to her u messed up when she joined your group then. My first play through i had a hard time because i made wynne a arcane warrior instead. however, i felt alistair and every other male in the game was weak compaired to the benefits and skills the women started off with. so i had me (i played a warrior/berserker/reaver lady), leliana (bard/ranger for extra summon for group), wynne (arcane warrior/spirit healer) , morgan (shapeshifter/arcane warrior) who used necromancing for extra member in group so i had a party of 6



    Can anybody make potions/do you have enough to make potions? morgan did pots for me



    Can anybody set traps/do you have enough material for traps? leliana did traps for me



    it would help to get the armor from the forest when you had to kill remnants (once i got the set i didn't change armor for the rest of the game)



    i would suggest using a "pull" technique where you send your strongest out to pull a few enemies and kill them (would work better if someone could make traps) leliana did this for me



    or try splitting up except wynne have her attack with someone but ranged (if she has a staff)



    Did you make leliana a hunter or whatever (sorry im sleepy n at work) she can summon a bear, wolf, or spider thats an extra member in your group.



    how high is wynnes constitution (very important in this game)? just because she is a healer doesnt mean she doesnt need life. mana? wisdom?



    keep trying i guess or have sex with morgan.

  • Need help on Dragon Age Origins ?

    First my guy is a male human noble and a had a +100 relationship with Morrigan.... Before the landsmeeting both Alistair and Anora agreed to get married and then in the landsmeeting Alistair killed Anora's father and become the king. Then after they return to redcliff I refuse morrigans offer and then she leave :( In the last fight I choose Wayne, Zevran and Sten. After a while the gray warden I saved before failed to kill the archdemon and died. So my guy sacrificed himself to kill the archdemon. At the end all went well but my guy died. So what I need is to save ma guy / Alistair and Morrigan +100 back without accepting the offer, I know she leaves but some say my guy find her and get her back in one of the expansion packs so halp me to figure it out ? And can you explain about those expansion packs a little ? And should I keep my save files to Dragon Age 2, will my old guys come back or will I have to play with Hawkins( the main character in DA 2) ?

    Thank you and hell yeah this is one of the best game I have ever played....... :DNeed help on Dragon Age Origins ?
    go to youtube to try to get some tips.Need help on Dragon Age Origins ?
    Either way you still play as Hawke in DA2 since only your decisions wil carry over. In the DLC Witch Hunt, you get to see Morrigan again at the end and I think you're able to get her back (well actually, go with her).



    There's a huge plothole though if your warden died in the main game, since in the DLCs and Awakening expansion your warden is alive for no reason or explanation.



    Unless you can get that DLC cheap somehow or in the Ultimate Edition, Witch Hunt isn't worth its price and doesn't really give any satisfying conclusions or closures.

    Dragon Age II Questions?

    I'm going to buy Dragon Age 2 when its out but I've got two major questions that I'm hoping someone will be able to answer.



    1) I plan on playing as a mage like the one in the cut scenes and cover art and I wanna know about that epic looking armor, and that mage stave. I wanna know if those three darkspawn inspired, class specific armors and weapons for mages, warriors, and rangers, will actually be available in the game because I HATE IT when games have cut scenes and cover arts of thing you'll never actually acquire in the game. its F*CKING IRRITATING!



    2) Since playing the demo as a mage, I noted that basic attacks at close range become melee attacks with your staff or stave. Does the damage of those melee attacks hinge on your character's strength stats, or on your magic stats?



    Ty, I hope we all enjoy this game :)Dragon Age II Questions?
    I think a similar look will be available. It won't be exactly the same though since the people who made the cinematic trailer always take some license.



    Your second question isn't something I had thought of. I would assume that it is still a magical attack. They just used melee animations because shooting at something over and over that is right in front of you like in Origins looked awkward.Dragon Age II Questions?
    the first Dragon Age was a poor copy of past rpg games. Go play a real rpg, not this dumbed down one made for console retards.

    Dragon age origins - stuck in the tower!?

    i bought dragon age origins yesterday and spent several hours playing. I'm playing as an elf mage (if that's relevant), and have got to the bit where I've been recruited by Duncan %26amp; Alistair, met the King, explored the battle emcampment, done the Wilds quest, and now Alistair %26amp; I have been sent up the tower to light the beacon or something. We met 2 guards along the way which have now joined the party. We got up the 3 floors, only to get to a room where this big monster (demon?) is waiting for us.



    The problem I'm having is that basically, i can't figure out how to kill it.

    - firstly, my mana runs out far too quickly for me to be able to send continuous spells at it

    - when i do send a spell at it, it doesn't hurt it anywhere near as much as any normal darkspawn

    - everyone else gets killed before the beast gets half its life depleted, and then I snuff it as well



    There's also a small staircase in that room that leads down, but when i try to make an exit through here, the character just stays stuck on the stairs, as it can't seem to get down to escape.



    Is there a bug in the game making me unable to escape? Or am I supposed to kill this thing first? If I'm supposed to kill it, a little help would be appreciated.



    I actually did have a bug in a second game i played with a human character, where the side door in the main hall of the castle would not let me get through, untill i restarted the game.Dragon age origins - stuck in the tower!?
    You cant escape when you fight the troll: Do the following to beat it.



    Make Alastair the tank (Melee/Sheild) (Takes the damage)

    You: Heal/Spellcast

    Set the archer to damage

    Set the other melee guy to damage up close with alastair



    Use potions.



    Plan B: Try and get the monster to follow you, run around the room in big circles while the others shoot and attack it.

    3. Is there a lot of armor/weapons in the game?



    4. What is the game about?

    Thank you!Dragon Age Origins Questions?
    You can kind of customize and it is an RPG where you level up and spend skill points. The is quite a lot of armor and weapons but you don't find much until later in the game. The game is about these monsters and are trying to kill everyone but it is up to you and other people to defeat the monsters and save everyone. Also the game is not multiplayer sadly.Dragon Age Origins Questions?

    Dragon Age II: Can I start a new game, without my old save being removed?

    I had the problem in another Bioware game, Mass Effect. I had grown tired of my character, and started a new game. Then I changed my mind and went back to my old save, but it wasn't there. Only the new saved game was.



    Same situation in Dragon Age II. Right now I'm a rogue in Act 2, but I don't much like my character.

    So I wanted to just try a new game, and play as a warrior or mage.



    But I don't want my rogue character save to be removed.Dragon Age II: Can I start a new game, without my old save being removed?
    Yes you can start a new game, just make sure you dont save over your other file, make sure when choosing new game you dont pick the file with the previous character otherwise it will auto save on the file.

Now I'm just wondering according the official site (http://dragonage.bioware.com/) It says if you have ordered 'Dragon Age 2' You get a dog and all that jazz. I know for a fact that if you preorder the sig edition you get an exclusive character, so I was just wondering, do you think that if you've preordered the Sig edition you'll get the dog, as it only said 'Preorders with dragon age 2' Nothing else. Also I live in the UK and that site is American if it makes a difference. Thanks.Dragon Age signature edition?
    yes, you will get all the stuff, including the dog and all that jazz



    if you preordered the sig edition, then you'll get everything plus the new stuff.

    Dragon Age Orgins, Huge questions [Morrigan] Storyline PLEASE HELP!?

    For the main question..I happen to be a big fan of the game because of the character "Morrigan" Wich is the best aspect in the game after my opinion, so after i completed the game. After so i wanted to find morrigan that is why i discvored extra content, sure there was problem installing it but after alot of hours i got it, so i finished "Wich hunt" pretty fast and still the end question about her remains unanswared, I want to know if in the future or now? will there be any exspanion, any any thing wich have a story with her? If not I dont want to be bothered but I dont wanna play if she is out of the game



    And why they make dragon age 2 and MORRIGAN is not in it? after many hours of forum reading i read that from DAO there is no answare about morrigan in dragon age 2....When she obviously states that I will find her again



    The last words between my character and her was



    Warden : Will I ever see you again?

    Morrigan: Not if you are fortunate



    I read alot in forums, and I read that in da2 someone thinks that "Flemeth" Is morrigan

    Still that is not an answare, that is a complete different story, it has no connection between the last words we exchange. her child is aleready born and is obviously with flemeth or alone some place but...to make a long story short to add a final question, is there any tips, hints explination someone tell me do anyone know if there is something more than the last scene I had with Morrigan? please understand what i meanDragon Age Orgins, Huge questions [Morrigan] Storyline PLEASE HELP!?
    In Witchhunt, the end changes a lot based on your dialog options and the relationship your character had with Morrigan in the main story. What you experienced is not the only ending.
    And then the whole points of dragon age 3 is gone if i follow her in to the mirror, what will happen then? why are they doing this, look like they made morrigan's ending drunk....it doesnt make sense

    Morrigan is not in Dragon Age 2 because she leaves and goes into hiding.



    Flemeth does appear in Dragon Age 2 (even if you 'killed' her on Morrigan's behalf) because of a precaution she takes before her death in Dragon Age Origins.



    I'd heard a rumor that there is more to learn about Morrigan and her warden/demon baby but beyond that, I don't know how they will play into Dragon Age 3. I do know that there will be no more DAO expansions.

    Dragon age question...?

    ok so i just finished dragon age:origins and apparently there's no dragon age 2 awakening is just an expansion pack although i have some questions about awakening 1)do you find morrigan? 2)can you transfer your character from origins to awakening? 3) if so those your story continue or do you just do the awakening story but with your old character?Dragon age question...?
    1) Unfortunately, no (http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Awakenin鈥?/a>



    2) Yes, you can. Although items gained from DLCs will be missing.



    3) The story of your character continues in Awakening. Basically, Awakening takes place 6 months after the original storyline, and sees your character rebuilding the Grey Wardens and establishing Vigil's Keep, a fortress given to the Grey Wardens at the end of Origins, as a new base of operations. Your previous reputation as the champion who defeated the Archdemon is still intact, in will play a role in your new adventure.



    On a side note, when you make an entirely new character you play as a warden from Orlais; and will be treated differently.

    What is a good videogame with gay male characters that I can play?

    I've already played Oblivion a million time.

    I've played Dragon Age: Origins and awakenings a few times through.

    I'm not into Mass Effect style games.

    I'm about to finish the latest GTA game, and I've played all the other ones.

    I've been through Fable twice, and I don't have a system that plays Fable 2, just a comp.

    I have no interest in Echanted Arms.What is a good videogame with gay male characters that I can play?
    it's funny how i was just about to tell you to play The Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion , Dragon Age : Origins and Fable , but seems like you already did , Mass Effect isn't my type either it looks like FPS more than RPG , also what about the sims 3 ? ever tried it ? you can also marry a guy and adopt children which is pretty interesting .What is a good videogame with gay male characters that I can play?

    A few questions about dragon age: origins?

    So I've played endless hours of sacred 2 and really like the weapon/armor selection. Just wondering if DA:O has as big a selection of different weapons/armor. And how customizable the characters. I like to micro manage my chars... Stats + different armor and weapon combinations. Does armor change character appearances?A few questions about dragon age: origins?
    There is a pretty good selection of armor and weapons, mostly consisting of common versions of them, but there are rare versions of armors and weapons that have different effects compared to the standard versions. All of the armors and weapons have varied appearances that have an effect on how your character looks, some of them just have different colors compared to other pieces, but other ones have quite a big effect; an example is comparing lightweight Leather armor to the massive Dragon Bone Plate armor.



    The characters are quite customizable: skills, abilities, weapons, armors, accessories, even their tactics are all customizable by the player. The tactics change how a character might react to a given situation, for example you might make a tactic where a healing mage casts heal on any ally that falls below 25% health. This takes away from all of the micro-managing of your party, but if you so choose, you can also choose to micro-manage your party by removing all/most of the tactics.

  • Can anyone provide me a UPC code for Dragon Age Awakening that they haven't registered on the Bioware site?

    My brother purchased Awakening from Xbox live and you don't receive a UPC code when you download it directly. It's not a big deal, but I frequent the Bioware boards a lot and I wanted to register the game as I have with the others that I own (Mass Effect 1 %26amp; 2, Dragon Age:Origins, Dragon Age II etc) so that I can view my character stats via their website, but without a UPC code I can't do that.



    All I need is for someone with the hard copy of the game that doesn't intend to register it on the Bioware boards to let me use it. At least, as far as I know it is that simple. Otherwise I'm stuck.



    Any help would be appreciated, but yeah, not the end of the world. Just thought I'd ask.Can anyone provide me a UPC code for Dragon Age Awakening that they haven't registered on the Bioware site?
    I'm not sure if this will still work but it's worth a shot. You should try to register with the UPC from the boxed version of the game for your console of choice. I put the link in the source. Anyways good luck, I hope it works!

    Is your main character a good tank in dragon age origins?

    First off, I have a lot of questions...



    1. I tried using Alistair as my tank but nobody attacks him (they attack my main) and he always dies - even when he uses the two abilities that make enemies more aggressive to him. Why is this? I even gave him the best equipment but still the same. What skills shoud I give him? (Sword and shield, Warrior, etc...?) Should I put points into his Strength or Constitution? Finally what other abilites should he have (Trap making/Poison Making/Warrior training etc...?)



    2. When do you start getting good armour and weapons? Which town/city sells good weapons and armour? Money is not an issue I did the money glitch and got 1000 gold :) I ask because I want good stuff that will keep alistair alive!





    All help will be greatly appreciated! I love this game, but am not that good. :(Is your main character a good tank in dragon age origins?
    In order to have an effective tank you need the Threaten and Taunt talents in the Warrior Tree, these are essential for keeping the enemies' attention.



    Constitution -%26gt; Strength -%26gt; Willpower -%26gt; Agility are the most important 4 stats. You need a minimum of 26 Agility to get all the Weapon and Shield Talents.



    There are tank items all over the world, a couple of rings one is in Orzammar, I think the other is at the vendor in the Circle of Magi. Maric's Blade is the best weapon, but it's only avalible if you have Return to Ostagar installed. The Best Armor is Calin's (From Return ot Ostagar) or the Warden Commander Armor (From Warden's Keep) If you don't have any DLC then the Juggernaut is the best armor in the Brecellin forest.



    If you want to make your own tank, you will always have more talents and stats then the rest of the party. I suggest going Dwarf for the Magic resistance racial.Is your main character a good tank in dragon age origins?
    only good armor you get for tanks are the dragon scale armor from killing the big ugly beast later on theres also good armor on some of the dlc make sure you get tanks con dex and str up will help out a lot

    always go for the sheild abilitys if you tank and you need the threaten ability as well or its like a tank with no taunt

    Do I have to load the epilogue from Dragon Age: Origins in order for the storyline to carry over to Awakenings?

    So here's what happened I finished beating the Archdemon. I did the dark ritual (Morrigan and Alistair) because I was playing a Female Elf Mage. I did the whole ceremony at the end because I picked Anora to rule as queen on her own (oddly enough she refers to Alistair being dead but he was standing right there lol). I went the whole Grey Warden route and Alistair said that he would be by my side because there is no other place he would rather be awwww. So I talked to everyone else and saved right before I walked out.



    (1) In the Epilogue it only mentioned that me and Zevran go on to serve the Gray Warden and no mention of Alistair why is that? %26lt;===Did i Screw up something



    (2) The game did not auto-save my closing epilogue in to a separate file the last save is the one I did myself right before I walked out to greet the public( before the epilogue). If I use that as my import file to Awakenings will the effects from what happened in the Dragon Age: Origins still carry over to this storyline even though it does not have the ending epilogue of what happened to all the characters in the game including mine?Do I have to load the epilogue from Dragon Age: Origins in order for the storyline to carry over to Awakenings?

    Why majority of people say Bulder's Gate series are better than Dragon Age:Origins?

    I have played many RPGs in my life, such as Diablo 1%26amp;2, Might and Magic 7, the Witcher, Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Bulder's Gate 2, and Dragon Age Origins. But even as an experienced RPG gamer, I cannot understand why so many people believe that BG series are superior to DAO. I played both DAO and BG2, but I can't think of any major points that BG2 does better even considering the time they came out. They both have great story line, deep tactical combat, and mysteries to be discovered. Sometimes I even think that DAO is better than BG2 and I鈥檓 going to tell you why. And if you noticed I never played the first BG. I鈥檓 planning to do so as soon as possible. So I鈥檓 going to talk about BG2 and DAO only.

    First of all, I got frustrated a bit by the bad path findings of the companions in BG2. They often times get stuck and you have to navigate them toward the edge of a map in order to go outside. When you want to travel in DAO you just have to open your world map and click on an icon. I also did not get why all the non-mage characters are unable to do anything but swinging swords and shooting arrows. Sure, thieves can hide in shadows and disarm traps, but those are basic skills for thieves in any other RPGs. The combat in BG is concentrated too much on magic spells in my opinion. The key to victory is basically about casting and learning appropriate spells. DA鈥檚 combat is more flexible compared to this because your worriers and thieves in DA are more reliable, thanks to their numerous skills they have.

    I tried to think some points that made BG2 better than DAO for most people. The first thing that I came up was the fact that the graphics looks great even for its time. If you look at the environment of BG2, you鈥檒l notice many details on it. The second thing is that the overall designs and settings are more original than DAO. DAO was too much like LOTR even though it executed well. Lastly, the main villain in BG2 Irenicus is much more threatening than DAO dragon known as Arch Demon. He has more personality than that mindless beast and contributed to the story well. But none of these things are enough to make DAO lesser than BG2 since they are all minor points. I heard that in DAO once you find a certain combination of skills and spells you can win every encounters, but I never noticed that.

    So I need you guys to tell me why Bulder鈥檚 Gate series are loved by RPG gamers more than Dragon Age Origins. Do I have unusual taste for RPGs or am I just spoiled by modern gameplays and graphics? Please tell me about what I am missing.



    Remember, don't just tell me your personal preferences and think objectively before you comment.Why majority of people say Bulder's Gate series are better than Dragon Age:Origins?
    Hm, I haven't played DAO (yet) but, leaving the gameplay aspects (such as controls, combat,...) and graphics aside (because obviously time always contributes to the advancement of those), I would guess that Baldur's Gate just has a kind of nostalgia to it. I think many gamers just consider it better because it was one of the first RPGs that did pretty much everything right and managed to suck players deep into the game world. And it may have been one of the first RPGs they played. It's kind of a dear memory. Also, it is (still) one of the best RPGs out there.

    I also believe that any game that objectively could be considered equal (or better) will be compared to earlier games, and often memory adds a lot to the greatness of a title.

    In addition to that, a new game today can only feature so many novelties because almost everything has been done before. Gamers have seen most aspects of a game somewhere else before, this makes it harder to wow them, you can't really impress people with things they've already seen (or maybe even take for granted).

    Xbox 360, Operation Flashpoint? Or Dragon Age?

    Alright, im allowed one game, and cannot decide, need a discussion on opinions.



    Here are why i would like the games



    Dragon Age: Been looking for a good, vast, long and fullfilling RPG game for some time. This seems to be it. Not only does it look good but it can last 50 hours just one play through. You can also choose characters and customize them, and choose a class



    Operation Flahspoint: I get the biggest thrill from army games. They are my fav games. I have just finished Call Of Duty Modern Warefare 2 on veteran difficulty. The hardest, and want something harder. Apparently OF can fullfill my needs. Has very hard gameplay, very realistic, and just an extensive game that looks amazing.



    So i need peoples opinions, i am sold on both, in the end its just gonna end up to what the game salesmen thinks i should get and ill just grab it lol, unless someone can convince me to choose one. Either way im gona be a happy man :D :D :DXbox 360, Operation Flashpoint? Or Dragon Age?
    I'd go with Dragon Age.

    It seems like an exciting RPG and I havent played one in a while.

    You can be who you want to be and the action looks intense (:

    Im getting it. (:Xbox 360, Operation Flashpoint? Or Dragon Age?
    Dragon Age...more for your money+alot longer playtime.

  • Dragon age :origins fans!!?

    okay i just finished the game after i got it for christmas.



    i played as both a female city elf and a male human noble.



    i was the last one standing both times to defeat the Archdemon.



    what were you?



    i had all of my allies at the end =] well except for morigan ....farewell

    did you grow attached to the characters? if so which ones?



    mine were Sten, Zev and Alister







    in the end i chose to stay in denerim as chancellor.



    are they going to make a dragon age 2? in my opinion i would love a second game based of of the possible descendants of your char or your friends children.



    one where you fight the qunari like Sten warned us perhaps even see Sten again (yes i adored Sten i totally understood him)Dragon age :origins fans!!?
    A sequel will probably be made considering the game's massive popularity, but BioWare is currently working on Mass Effect 2, so don't expect it soon. They are, however, creating DLC, such as Return to Ostagar, which was delayed from January 5th but should be out soon.



    Also in the works is an expansion: Awakening. Info can be found here: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_A鈥?/a>



    As for the first game, I was a male human noble, playing an idealistic and ultimately good, but terrified of dying, rogue. I had a real fondness for Sten and Zevran as well, but wound up leaving them at camp most of the time, since my character's altruism often drew disapproval. Instead, I brought around Alistair, Wynne and Leliana.



    Leliana has to be my favorite of the companions. I though she started out rather bland, but the ending to her romance quest was just beautiful, especially when she said "I walked where the Maker led me and he has rewarded me for my faith. I found you."



    In the end, I executed Loghain for his crimes, and convinced Alistair and Anora to marry. (One of the chief things about my character was his incredibly persuasive nature.) I made the deal with Morrigan, as my character wanted to save all the Wardens - it was too bad Riordan had to die, but what a way to go out. In the end, I left with Leliana and Zevran in tow, to the arling of Amaranthine which Alistair gave to the Grey Wardens. A pretty good ending, I suppose - although my character did vow to track down Morrigan. Zevran should be able to help with that.



    I hope they have some sort of save transfer feature like in Mass Effect 2, that would be great, I'd like to continue this story in the sequel. Apparently, that's an option in the expansion, or you can play a new Warden from Orlais.



    I'm currently replaying as a mage with an "ends justify the means" opinion and a heavy anti-religion bias, in contrast to my devout first character.Dragon age :origins fans!!?
    Human Warrior my first game

    Dwarf Warrior my second



    Team in the first one was Oghren, Leliana and Wynne

    Dragon age series PC question?

    I'm looking for a new RPG game after completing Mass Effect 2 and found BioWare have another RPG game - Dragon Age. If Mass Effect was that amazing, i would think dragon age would be as well. But after looking into a few gameplay, the combat system looks similar to that of WoW or any mmorpg where you move around using WASD, highlight an enemy and it starts auto attack and number keys for magic skill. Of course i have not played that game yet therefore i cannot be sure, so i'm here to ask anyone who played it before :



    I've noticed there are a few characters following you, are they AI controlled or do you have to control each of them manually?

    What is the pause system for?

    How is the controls like? WASD to move, left mouse click to attack, number keys for magic?



    That's all i could think of, but you can include anything worth mentioning.Dragon age series PC question?
    The combat system in Dragon Age is akin to older Bioware games, namely Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. The combat is basically similar across these games, and this type of combat is modeled after Dungeon's and Dragons rules, where attacks are decided based on dice rolls that are influenced by character stats. This form of combat emphasizes tactical decisions over brute force.



    When combat begins, characters begin to auto attack while mixing in active attack abilities as per the tactics you designate for them. The party is AI controlled, but unlike Mass Effect, you can switch control between any character at any time.



    The pause system is que up orders for your team. Combat in DA:O becomes quite hectic and can easily spiral out of control if you don't keep up with it. There are targets of high priority which come at different intervals in combat and with different specializations. Ranged caster/bow enemies may require some form of ranged crowd control, a powerful melee champion enemy may require attack and armor debuffs, and they need it NOW. Pausing is a good way to make sure the right party member does the right action. Things like this literally mean life or death in DA:O, as a move that comes too late or applied on the wrong target can cause a wipe. Pausing is a heavily tactical aspect of the game.



    You can use WASD to move, right click to move, and so on. All you need to do is make sure your character is engaging the enemy you want him to, and he'll auto attack on his own. Number keys are for abilities.



    Each character has something called a "Tactics Menu". Basically, you can define a condition in which that character uses an ability or item. You may want to make sure your tank drinks a weak health potion at 50% health, or a powerful health potion at 25% health. You may want your melee dps classes to stack armor debuffs on elite or higher ranked enemies. You may want your rogue to stun an enemy that made it past your tank to attack your healer. These are good way to make sure your party can remain somewhat independent, but you can't rely on these tactics to carry you through the game. Combat pausing will still be a necessity.Dragon age series PC question?
    Dragon age is a great game. No. It's not like Wow. It's actually more like Baldur's gate or Neverwinter Nights in gameplay. Yes. You do control all of the characters but it's not that complicated. You'd get use to it in no time.



    Ps. There's a Dragon Age 2. You might want to consider that.Dragon age series PC question?
    1. I've noticed there are a few characters following you, are they AI controlled or do you have to control each of them manually?



    -%26gt; Both. You can control each member of your party. The characters you're not controlling are AI controlled. You can customize the AI in the tactics screen. For instance, if you want a mage you're not controlling to be a healer you can select a condition (if ally HP %26lt; 25%) and an action (Heal).



    2. What is the pause system for?



    -%26gt; For strategic purposes. You have to change strategies on the spot and in that case it's a good idea to pause the game, tell all your party members what to do and then unpause to see how effective your strategy is.



    3. How is the controls like?

    WASD to move or left mouse + right mouse button to move. Right click to attack. Drag with left miuse button to select multiple party members. Numbers keys to select skills. Tab to highlight objects uou can interact with.



    Dragon Age Origins goes back to the Origin of RPG so gameplay is very similar to traditional RPGs. As you have noticed this is a play style that has been used by MMO developers. Needless to say this game is almost nothing like Mass Effect.

    Dragon Age: Origins - I need some answers pls.?

    I just started playing Dragon Age: Origins and I must say, this is my latest 'personal brand of heroine' since playing Zhu Xian Online and Perfect World, both also an mmorpg game. I love the gameplay, the graphics, the environment, the characters, even if I'm just starting to play the game. I'm an RPG addicted fan so that's why I'm addicted to this type of games. But I have a series of questions to all the players who already played this game.



    1. After finishing the game, will I still be able to play my character? Or the character is just a one-time use only to finish one new game and have to create another just to play a new one?

    2. After finishing the game, will I have a free roam? You know like grinding for more monsters to level up and hunt rare items usually like in online games.

    3. If I create another character, will my current character be overwritten or lost? Or will I have a selection of my created characters?



    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! BEST ANSWER IS WAITING!Dragon Age: Origins - I need some answers pls.?
    1-2. no, after you finish the game there is no free roam. You can still however finosh downloadable content if you didnt get to it.

    3.no, your new character will not override your old one.Dragon Age: Origins - I need some answers pls.?
    jose is right, the other guy was wrong, just thought i'd let you know since you had 2 different answers up there

    xoxoDragon Age: Origins - I need some answers pls.?
    1. No, you can only play the downloadable content after the game has ended. But, there is an expansion coming soon in which you can continue with your old character.



    2. No, once it's over it's over.



    3. No, you can make as many characters as you want and switch back and forth between them.

    Dragon Age II (Whos else is excited about this game)?

    is anybody looking forward to dragon age 2 in a week?

    i played the demo and i fell in love with the game from the characters and the covno wheel and even the opitions of weapons for different characters that of which i think is awesome. then you have different races and different classes and even if your one type of class you still have other party members that are of different classes that you can personally control and not to mention you can customize your character from the way you look to the clothes you have on as well as having the opition of being in a relationship or just having sometype of romance with other characters in the story i think this game s gonna be epic.

    the only thing i dont like about this game based off the demo is the graphics..........Opinions gaming brothers?Dragon Age II (Whos else is excited about this game)?
    Hopefully it will be as good as the first.Dragon Age II (Whos else is excited about this game)?

    What happens after Dragon Age: Origins?

    I have just finished playing this game and i really don't want the game to end!!

    What happens next?

    I know i can buy the DLC but with fathers day comming up, i don't really have much money to spare.

    i was a female human and i was dating alistair.

    what does is the dlc about and what happens to my character?



    please just give me the plot without giving the whole story away.

    i do want to play it myself eventually.



    also, what is the plot of Dragon Age 2?

    will i get to keep my character and keep dating Alistair?



    I used to be a CoD guy, but now after playing this game, i am sticking to RPG's.



    please and thank you.

    =D

    i %26lt;3 Alistair.

    LMAO jkWhat happens after Dragon Age: Origins?
    You should play the expansion Awakening if you want to see the very end of your warden's story and romance with Alistair. In Dragon Age 2 you play a whole new character and it doesn't have much to do with the events in Origins.



    Basically in Awakening you become the Warden Commander of Fereldan. If Alistair is king he will make a cameo and if he is romanced he will be mentioned in the epilogue. He isn't a companion though, they are all new except for Ogrehn. You spend your time managing your new Keep and investigating the appearance of talking intelligent darkspawn. That's pretty much all I can say without revealing too much.

    What happens if you take Merrill to 100% rivalry in Dragon Age 2? (spoilers)?

    -- Spoilers below --



    Ok, so it seems - I mean this is only what I've observed - is that most people take the route with Merrill where you say yes to everything she says, romance her and she ends up staying with you.



    I've had lengthy discussions on this - it seems to me that if the player, who's the only one who has the ability to change the outcome of this mess, chooses the path where he encourages Merrill to persue her obsession with the Eluvian, never objecting and never saying no, it is definitely bad not only for her clan but ultimately for Merrill herself. It may seem that the player gets what he wants - he or she gets Merrill to his or herself, no more objections from the clan and she is devoted to the player's character. But to me this is actually the worst outcome possible. In real life, no one could say you were really being a friend to Merrill by encouraging her to follow a prolonged demon-forged path that resulted in not only her Keeper but her entire clan getting killed, and end up standing there going on about that the reason it happened was because they wouldn't listen to her. To me, the wrongness of this is implacable. You end up with a dead keeper, a dead clan and an elf who refuses to take responsibility that her actions had anything to do with it, and who looks at you for complete validation for everything she is. It's horribly unhealthy, and something a demon would want to do to someone to shape them into a tool determined to release it.



    At first I was so disgusted by this that I thought that Merrill was bad in some way, or crazy - but really I will admit I was wrong. It's you as the player in the game that determines how this goes, but I'm not quite done yet with the end of my first playthrough, and am already wanting to play it differently and am considering pursuing the rivalry path.



    So, back to my question - if instead you choose to rival her, which from what I understand is not the same as hatred or antagonism, though many (including me) may have thought so, does this come out better for Merrill in terms of her well being? Meaning, yes, while you may not get her 100% devoted to you, would it be the best thing for her to be in the first place?



    Also, please advise on the rivaly romance. I've read that you can romance her while she is in rivalry, which while may seem illogical, some people are the best couples who fight.What happens if you take Merrill to 100% rivalry in Dragon Age 2? (spoilers)?
    I rivaled Merrill. Yes, I thought she was very stupid, but it turns out that she was already compromised when she meets Hawke. She did appear sane, however. It's impossible to hate her though.



    Friendship or Rivalry, when you hit 100% of either, a character is completely devoted to your cause. They do not agree with you all the time, but they respect your opinion. Fenris is another case where some of the conversations can appear bitter, and by supporting Anders and mages in general it seems you are flying in the face of everything Fenris hates. But if he's 100% rival, he will still totally back your play in Act 3.



    SPOILERS, indeed -











    There are things in the game that do not change, no matter what you do, and this is perhaps the only gripe I have that remains about DA2. You will have to kill the Arishok, Anders is going to go all Unabomber on the Chantry and Merrill is going to have to kill the Keeper, who will get possessed in order to save Merrill from the demon in the mirror.



    Merrill is under the influence of a Pride demon and is unable to accept that her actions will result in disaster. She thinks she is wise enough, has been careful enough, and won't fall prey to what clearly killed Tamlin.



    If you Rival her, you spend the game feeling like you are kicking a puppy. It feels worse if Anders and Fenris are in the party with you and Merrill as they will also jump in and unload on Merrill for her misguided notion that she can come out the winner while dealing with demons.



    If you are in a friendship or rivalry with her, you have an equal chance to avoid violence, or wind up slaughtering every Dalish on the Sundermount after the confrontation with the Pride demon and the Keeper. Even as a rival, I thought what Fenris and Anders said to her after that battle and all the way home to Kirkwall was incredibly harsh. But considering the price paid for playing with the Eluvian, they were not entirely wrong.



    For a rivalry, I kept Merrill out of the party for any of Anders personal quests, and once she brings up the mirror, disagree with her every step of the way. When she asks for your help getting the tool, be short and blunt rather than supportive, but go with her. After the task the Keeper gives you is complete, refuse to give the tool to Merrill. Just don't. It royally pisses her off, in that cute Merrill way. When you talk to her in her house later, continue to stand by your earlier decision and she kicks you out of her house, and you find the whole party standing out in the street in the Alienage. I was so surprised by this I laughed pretty hard at the thought of tiny Merrill tossing Hawke, Anders and Fenris out the door. I haven't encountered a break point that causes her to leave the companions entirely.



    Later on she will break the mirror, only the difference is that she will tell you that you were right all along.



    For a Rival-mance, I still flirted with Merrill during her Questioning Beliefs quests and when giving her the two gifts. The mechanics work the same as most other romances in the game. You just have to dig in about the mirror and blood magic to maintain rivalry and avoid conversations with others she would approve of (Anders, mostly). When you reach a certain point in Act 2, like Fenris she will turn up at your mansion and force the romance issue. I hadn't planned on it, and was surprised by it, considering how harsh my M!Hawke was in conversations, but there she is and you can accept by flirting, or shut her down in the hallway. After the romance scene you can opt to continue it, or kick her (almost literally) out of bed and end it.



    As squabbling couples (Rival-mance) go, Fenris is the best material for that - he gives as good as he gets in an argument. I can't shake the puppy-kicking feeling of fighting with Merrill.What happens if you take Merrill to 100% rivalry in Dragon Age 2? (spoilers)?
    Yes, rivalry is much better for her in the end. She gives up on the mirror and blood magic. She also feels regret for her clan instead of disgust. You basically help her see the error of her ways instead of enabling her.



    Rivalry makes no difference in the romance as long as you make sure to max it out completely. Basically take a hard stance against her using blood magi and refuse to help her repair the mirror. She also gains rivalry if you send mages to the circle and generally denounce magic. Merril feels frustrated with you at times for not supporting her, but she still likes Hawke and you do feel like they have a good relationship despite their disagreements.
