New Giant Bomb Dragon Age quicklook

[demi]

I'm getting it. The achievements unfortunately look like Mass Effect's - expect at least 3-4 required playthroughs. Ugh

[Human Snorenado]

AFAIK there are no multiplayer features.  And yes I'm getting this day one.

[Great Rumbler]

I'm gonna try to get it on day one, but that'll depend on whether I have enough money when it comes out.

[cool breeze]

ok, I'm getting this.  I'm just waiting a bit to order since I'm hoping that ECA gets Amazon codes.

and it's awesome for a game you've trashed on since it had a shitty showing for so long to turn out so awesome.  It's better than being surprised by a game you've never heard of.

BioWare's just not very good at marketing their games, bless their stupid little hearts.  KOTOR came out of absolutely nowhere to be an awesome game, no one expected it to be as good as it was.

It has an oscar-calibur script.

Well, they didn't show SHIT for the longest. Just a bunch of stupid ass trailers. It was hard NOT to troll on it.

I remember looking forward to KOTOR and I'm not really a big Star Wars fan.  And their stuff for Jade Empire and Mass Effect wasn't bad either.  As much as I want to say that them joining with EA is cool, the trailers they've put out for their recent games are kinda embarrassing and, hopefully, misrepresent their games.

Let's post all of BioWare's twists and see if we can figure out Dragon Age's

[cool breeze]

what was the twist of the Sonic RPG?c


oh, and
less number of quality sidequests in Dragon Age  
the same shit two dozen times in Mass Effect

[demi]

I'm not sure, actually. I never finished it

[BobFromPikeCreek]

:/ Console interface looks clunkyish. I guess this one will have to wait until I have a decent computer.

[Dickie Dee]

I'll buy if there's a demo I can test my laptop out on, the console versions sound like el-gimpo.

Linearity: The game is more linear than BG2. There is very little Exploration. In most areas you can only go from A to B without any sideways ("hose-levels").

very disappointing

This explains what the reviewer means a little bit better:

- About the linearity: most dungeons are "go directly from the start to the end", there's no second ways in. Another problem is that you can't really explore the world unless you have gotten that side quest first. So basically DA is exactly like BG2 in this area (I honestly don't think it's a con at all but opinions, opinions).

[pilonv1]

Oh that's not too bad, but I do miss wandering into an area I was too weak for in BG1.
