Steppenwolf Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Yea mages are awesome in this game. Infact i have 3 of them in my party now (my char, Morrigan and Wynne). So much fun to combine spells for more carnage. 2dchris: I killed Flemeth yesterday. Was maybe the hardest fight that i had in the game. Wasn't allowed to use Morrigan in the quest which usualy freezes my enemys to make them harmless and more vulnerable. Don't know how long it took, maybe half an hour. I used something like 25 lyrium potions and 25 health potions to kept my party going. Was worth it tho. Afterwards you get a powerful robe for Morrigan and a magic book that you can give her as a gift. She really likes my character now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dux Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'm glad you guys have come into the light of the maker and see this game for it's awesomeness My char laying some more smackdown: Me and Alistair laying some extra smackdown: These are a few days old, we have total pimp armour now. Alistair has a set of Knight commander templar armour, looks pimp. And I have Dragonbone Plate and Dragonblood Plate. Btw if you guys register your cd key the golem quest get's unlocked and you get free Blood armour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2d-chris Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 my mage mostly has wisdom for mana, got something like 50 ... seems more effective to cast more spells than less with a bit more damage. I play a mage and I mostly do damage but im also specced as a backup spirit healer, pimps when you spend time to setup several good tactics , i usually take control of alistar and tank encounters leaving my mage to kick ass/heal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steppenwolf Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 My party just went to a whorehouse where my main character paid for sex with another woman. In the middle of the act the door opened and i heard the dwarf character saying something like "oops, wrong door". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2d-chris Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 lol wolf, yeah there are so many funny moments like that, i choose "surprise" and got a room with a wooden cut out character and some love hearts on the bed ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dux Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 So who was your favourite party member? Mine was Morrigan then Oghren then Zavran then Alistair then Wynne then Lilianna then Sten. I never got to try Shale. Some of the best lines were from Oghren, especially when he's drunk in camp. complaining that your dog has stolen his pants even though he's still wearing them.

Steppenwolf Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Morrigan, Oghren, Dog. In that order. I don't care so much for the other characters tbh. I have Wynne on my party only because shes a good mage but shes damn boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2d-chris Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Morrrigan, Zavran then Alistar I guess I don't like Sten much, the Dwarf is a cool character but right now i don't have room for a melee dps roll since I use Zavran for _insane_ dps, the cute human chick is ok but not really into arrows right now since I use two mages. Dogs really meh but i hear some funny dialog comes when using it. Healer woman is yeah pretty boring but Zavran has some awesome lines talking about her boosems ;P Alsitar also quote her to mend his broken clothes because she's so motherly lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steppenwolf Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Just finished it. Took me 79 hours. According to the stats i solved 42% of the game and i only saw 90% of the locations. My final thoughts on the game: PROS - epic main quest - incredible depth to character development and relations within the party - the plot is like a tree with so many different branches and full of surprises. your decisions really have an impact on the game world. the npc's will remember if you were good or bad to them. it's possible that due to your decissions people get killed that would have been useful to you later in the game. - combat system is quite nice - replay value seems a lot higher then for your average singleplayer game CONS - environments. sometimes they are nice to look at but often enough you find yourself in a dungeon that reminds you of half life 1 era games - repetitive, forgetable music. Nothing like the awesomness of the Mass Effect soundtrack - boring dungeon design. unfortunately thats a disease all modern rpg's suffer from. There were a couple of nice riddles but they were not more then half a dozen of them in the whole game - not enough different enemys. fighting the same dozen enemys over and over again in a game of this lenght gets repetitive and boring after a while. Felt almost like a chore near the end SUMMARY Dragon Age: Origins is a very nice RPG but it's quite flawed in some aspects. For fans of classic western fantasy rpg's it is a must. It has a lot in common with some of the classics of the genre. Think Ultima 7 in a modern look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentura Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 man i so need to fix my desktop so i can play this game. although heroes of newerth doesn't seem to get boring anytime soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2d-chris Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Just completed it and I'd pretty much agree with everything Wolf said in his review. Awesome but not perfect :] Soundtrack was the weakest thing IMO, quite the opposite to Mass Effect for one reason or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-HP- Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Started playing, 3 hours into it and so far... I hate it! Gonna give it a couple more hours of gameplay before uninstall it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
