Is my favorite autistic character Sandal in it?

Enchantment!


I haven't seen him yet. I hope he is though, he is a great character, especially at points near the end of Origins and II. Not saying why because of spoilers.

I went online to buy it from Amazon last night, until I saw the price, they seem to be charging Playstation prices for PC games now and I am not going to encourage them.
It will be just as good in a year or two when it goes down to a sensible price.


I think its been this way for awhile, sadly. Good idea to wait for a sale though, too bad its Origin though, if it was steamworks I'd expect a really good sale to show up after awhile but I don't know how good origin is with deals and stuff. I only messed with it while I was playing ME3.

Game is buggy, controls suck... I was also hoping there'd be more gameplay than just 30 hours to get through the main storyline (there's more with all the MMO FedEx sidequests you get, like getting 15 units of ram meat to feed someone... haha) :(
I'm really not sure how I feel about it....

Wow
I have been reading people saying only good things about the game during the whole week. Are you playing on what plataform? PC?
Only 30 hours to finish the main story? One article that i saw said that i was 55~60 to end it... I was so excited ):
I'll only be able to play that game next month, sadly.

Kamiyu,

I just got bven playing and 5 hours in and I haven't even left the Hinterlands yet. Busy doing all the side quests. I have to agree with you about the playing the game using a KB+Mouse as it awful but after a while you get use to it. But, if you wanted you can plug in a controller to get over the issues.

As far a game, the devs have said that to do the main quest is about 85 hours and to do the main quest and sidequests that it will take around 150+ hours.

The only real issue I had was my gfx drves casued the game to crush but using the AMD beta drives fixed the issue.

Anyway, don't try to quit just yet.

Really? This game is bad with KB+M? That is really disappointing for me, considering I played DA:O like an infinity engine game, guess I'll have to just wait for Pillars of Eternity to get my crpg fix.

I've played almost 40 hours now, and I think that the person claiming to complete it in 30 hours skipped as many side missions as possible without exploring much. I've made two characters, and was able to get as far as the first character in half the time since I knew what I was doing, so I believe it is possible to beat it in 30 hours. The game is still glitchy, one problem with that is my video card and the other is that they should have spent more time on it. It's a console game, not a PC game, and that sucks. They also made it more for the mainstream gamers rather than the hardcore gamers.
My brother said, "Remember when game companies used to be autistic?"
It reminds me of what happened with Stargate. The people in charge decided to ditch their original nerdy fan base to try to bring in the younger, more hipper, cooler crowd. (they actually said that, called us original fans "nerds in their mother's basements"). Gaming companies seem to be doing the same thing.

I'm still enjoying the game, though I suppose I'm not one to talk, considering how much I played Ultima IX, lol. The combat gets easier to deal with the more I play, as I thought it would, but they should have spent at least 3 years working on the game, not try to rush it out as fast as possible, which is what they did, and what EA is well known for doing. That's what killed the company Origin and their Ultima game series, as well as many other companies.
The story is good, but most of what I like about it I can't really talk about here, just in case I end up spoiling it for everyone else.

Kamiyu,

I was thinking about sending you a PM about this. I spent about 22 hours playing and have just got to Skyhold and have met a someone from DA2 and Orgins already. I won;t say who becuase of spoliers.

I am enjoying the game a lot and the areas are huge and you are right the combat can use some more work for PC's games. However, I have found use Tactical view make my PC auto attack so I don't have to keep pressing attack all the time.

Keep having playing and we can all talk about it more after we finished the first play throught.

Regards
