Dragon Age.. Origins.. !!

Things going well - 12 hrs in and still no crashes (yet). Finished the Urn quest - those 4 tasks were "fun", won't go further - don't want to spoil it

.
The only bug I have found, is if you have the Blood dragon DLC (got mine with the game) and you play as a Dwarf Noble, once you get exiled, to my horror you lose the breastplate! Can't seem to get it anywhere not even from the party camp

Gah, you and your BDA. Work for your armor! After beating the 4 Revenants needed, I will never take off my Juggernaut set... no matter if I'd get a nuke.. I hate those bastards.

Hehe, gotta love those dwarves, just heard one of the news guys yelling "News of the hour! Prince Bhelin attacked the assembly and he was slain. Epic fail!"

This turned to be pretty awesome game.

Now, my only concern is the story itself, looking at the codex, there isnt much that is left to be found yet I still feel like the main story has just started.

Hopefully I'm wrong.

Not that bothered bout the BDA, got my Dwarf Waraxe and the family shield - so Im happy. Anyway I got Morrigan to turn all enemy's into ice blocks, then I smash them into ice cubes, just like in Duke Nukem 3D

Currently working my way through the Circle tower - taken Alistair, Wynne and Morrigan with me (Wynne is REALLY useful with her heal spells). Just on 2nd level, found a statue turned over; looked at it found a vial, opened it - EEK a Revenant!!!.

Killed it, just used mainly hex spells to make it more vulnerable to ice/fire etc.
Still it was tough, hope I don't face more than one later on

.

Once I done the tower, might go next to Sulcher's pass, then its back home to Orzammar to see whats happened since been exiled.

Tee hee, the female characters have camel toe. (atleast Morrigan had)

Everyone enjoying it? It's not bad at all. It's an interesting world they have created with some good ideas. About 30 hours in or so. Anyone know how to unlock the Arcane warrior class? I think I just blew unlocking Blood-mage but I guess we shall see.

I see that there is a P+P Dragon Age game coming out soon. Wonder if it will contain a written campaign setting. Wouldn't mind giving that a read through.

Dowly · 11-13-09, 03:19 PM

Aye, totally enjoying it!

Tho, I must say there's some things that are putting me down abit.

First being the difficulty. It's almost sadistic at times.

Second being the lack of rewards, I killed a red named demon once and I got normal leather boots from it.

Did you get the patch? It reduces the difficulty of the various modes a notch. To be honest, I'm playing it on easy as I find the combat a little tedious and would rather just get on with the story. So far all of the quests seem to have mostly been completed by me hitting things until they fall over. I'm hoping there is something a little less combat focussed ahead.

Although the rewards suck they aren't as bad as the inventory system. I would so much rather have individual inventories for each character. I don't like the party based one that much at all.

The money is cool. I love the way it's broken down into copper, silver and gold coins.

You can get Arcane Warrior from a soul trapped in a, ehr... think it was a gem or something. Should be a phylacterie in the ruins in the Brecilian forest. The object you need to click is just called "phylacterie", iirc, not "glass phylacterie" (which spawns a Revenant).

Yes, enjoying it very much and yes, it can be difficult. Getting jumped by a pack of Shadow Wolfs was fun; just 1 was enough to kill me with overwhelm. Just walking along and suddenly a werewolf jumps out of the shadows, pins me to the ground and rips me to pieces before anyone can help.

Having fun in the Circle tower, currently in the fade having faced the Sloth Demon. So working my way thru that.

Only major update is that Alistair now has Templar Armour

Arclight · 11-14-09, 04:59 PM

Effort would be a nice set for him, with "the helm called Duty". If you're not a warrior yourself and don't have Dragon Plate available.

Oh oh, and the Legion set has insane armor rating, as in "above heavy plate".

Do I sound like a fanboy yet? This thing is addictive.

Not a lot of special sets, but enough to keep you interested.
