Dragon Age

I know what i'm getting after exams :3

Between left 4 dead, modern warfare, borderlands, this, Assassin's Creed 2 and Uncharted 2 i've been playing more games now, and more interested in them than ever before. I'm going to wait to get this until December, I think.

Saw my friend play and all I gotta say is holy shit, is this game ugly as all sin.

Seriously, looks like a shitty OG XBox game.

That said, it seems fun enough to play. I like that there's no longer a good/evil slider that takes into account your actions. So now you choose to respond and act in a way you find true to the characterl, rather than in a way that nets you a wanted good/bad point.

(but man - UGLY!)

It IS prettier on PC, but yeah, still not very pretty.

What version are you talking about? I wouldn't say the PC version is cutting edge or anything, but I'd say I'm generally impressed by the graphics (especially the towns compared to, say, the underground tunnels). The armor and weapons look good, lighting effects are decent. Maybe if I was stuck at the ground-level POV, but seamlessly going from skycam to 3rd-person is actually kind-of a treat.

Also, while your "goodness" isn't being inherently judged, the way you handle things will effect your companions opinion of you. I'm usually forced to ply my more unscrupulous party members with gifts since they usually disapprove of my quest and conversation outcomes.

I treat my friends well and everyone else like shit.

I treat elves and those of importance wonderfully, and regular humans like shit. Fuck them. They raped my wife!

That's what I found so appealing - your decisions will affect how others see you but there's no ham-fisted way of showing "you did a bad/good thing just now." Instead you have to respond, and measure reactions in a way that a real-world conversation may work.

(and yeah, it was 360 version. Ugly. As. Fuck.)

5 hours in...and my first freeze up! Happened my first time in the Fade to attack the demon with Morrigan

Also you can Les out with another character. My Dwarf has fucked Alistair, Zhevran, and Liliana Finch was subjected to the cheesey music.
