It's a great $20-30 game. Definitely not worth $60. *NM* Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 09/03/2011 06:24:19 AM
For now I'm pretty much content to wait and see what the reviews and gamers say about it. What I've seen in this thread so far... Has not been too encouraging. Keep your thread updated, I'll be checking often so I can make a smart decision with my video game budget

ALSO: I absolutely hate the dialogue wheel. I love jade empire, KoToR, and DA:O for having the full lines written out, where I can agonize over the subtle shades of meaning separating some of the responses. With the dialogue wheel, you pretty much just choose a direction on the wheel and continuously point your cursor there, end of story. That's boring.

Dragon Age 2: Thoughts so far. Ghavrel - 09/03/2011 02:12:32 AM 1515 Views
Better and worse are too 1-dimensional. It's different. Very different. lord-of-shadow - 09/03/2011 02:33:33 AM 1008 Views
Well, I haven't really agonized over any choices. Ghavrel - 09/03/2011 02:56:38 AM 852 Views
No agony yet, but I was torn between the smuggler and the mercenary in Kirkwall. lord-of-shadow - 09/03/2011 03:11:56 AM 865 Views
I'll undoubtedly get it...eventually A Deathwatch Guard - 09/03/2011 05:47:27 AM 832 Views
It's a great $20-30 game. Definitely not worth $60. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/03/2011 06:24:19 AM 396 Views
So far, I'd disagree. It's worth the full-price. Again though, only 4 hours in. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 09/03/2011 03:13:04 PM 382 Views
The dialog choices in Dragon Age are more varied. lord-of-shadow - 09/03/2011 02:40:33 PM 934 Views
...they copied dungeons. Ghavrel - 09/03/2011 06:25:31 AM 869 Views
They did that in the first Mass Effect... MightyYT - 09/03/2011 07:40:23 AM 823 Views
Here is what I learned from the demo... MightyYT - 09/03/2011 07:43:39 AM 793 Views
It's.... irritating me. Kronin al'Sulc - 09/03/2011 07:54:04 AM 1033 Views
Some of the "improvements" are really dumb badassashaman - 09/03/2011 01:17:00 PM 909 Views
There is an auto-attack. On PC, at least. Right click on the enemy. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 09/03/2011 02:42:48 PM 459 Views
I'm on Xbox 360 *NM* badassashaman - 09/03/2011 03:26:21 PM 408 Views
Well, that's just a poor decision. *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 09/03/2011 05:18:43 PM 436 Views
whatever. Halo! *NM* badassashaman - 09/03/2011 05:46:07 PM 430 Views
Is on pc too. *NM* Bergioyn - 10/03/2011 09:41:10 AM 366 Views
Oh, I forgot to mention: Fuck you, Bioware social network, and fuck you, DRM. lord-of-shadow - 09/03/2011 09:20:52 PM 917 Views
It's picking up a bit. I'm just getting tired of Kirkwall. Still not a $60 game. Ghavrel - 10/03/2011 09:09:32 AM 856 Views
I am liking it overall. Mats Gambling Buddy - 10/03/2011 09:04:54 PM 985 Views
Have you not gotten Merrill yet? Do what Flemeth asked you to do! Ghavrel - 10/03/2011 09:57:19 PM 825 Views
Re: Have you not gotten Merrill yet? Do what Flemeth asked you to do! Mats Gambling Buddy - 11/03/2011 09:48:46 PM 928 Views
I haven't gotten Isabella yet. Can you get her before the deep roads? *NM* Ghavrel - 11/03/2011 11:16:01 PM 406 Views
Yeah. Go to the Hanged Man Inn. Mats Gambling Buddy - 12/03/2011 08:29:43 PM 866 Views
I've heard a lot of nasty things about how the release of that game was handled. Aemon - 11/03/2011 06:24:15 AM 946 Views
Bioware and /v/ both raided Metacritic. Ghavrel - 11/03/2011 07:39:17 AM 1109 Views
Yeah, I saw something about that on Reddit. I actually think it's very interesting. Aemon - 11/03/2011 06:11:33 PM 837 Views
This is one reason why I won't be buying DA2. Macharius - 17/03/2011 12:47:23 PM 860 Views
Minority Report: So far, I am really liking it. Dannymac - 11/03/2011 11:39:47 PM 960 Views
Just finished my first playthrough, and there will definitely be a second. Dannymac - 16/03/2011 08:21:20 AM 908 Views
Are mages as overpowered as in the first game? beetnemesis - 20/03/2011 05:04:27 PM 840 Views
Friendly fire exists in nightmare. All AoE abilities will affect your allies. Ghavrel - 20/03/2011 07:45:03 PM 767 Views
And no more Arcane Warrior cheese... still, think I'll stay Mage beetnemesis - 21/03/2011 05:59:07 AM 795 Views
I FINALLY started playing the first Dragon Age tonight. Going Rogue. Advice welcome. *NM* Zalis - 17/03/2011 03:14:19 AM 398 Views
You've made the right choice. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/03/2011 03:25:29 AM 381 Views
Seconded. *NM* Mats Gambling Buddy - 18/03/2011 06:00:27 PM 453 Views
Definitely. The NPC mages are great, plus Cunning adds Coercian options. *NM* beetnemesis - 20/03/2011 05:01:33 PM 429 Views
Advice: get Wynn (or whatever the healer's name is) first, as far as party members go. Aemon - 17/03/2011 04:21:45 AM 802 Views
Things have really picked up since.... "spoilers* Mats Gambling Buddy - 18/03/2011 06:01:48 PM 891 Views
I thought it was interesting, but I enjoyed DA;O more LadyLorraine - 28/03/2011 04:13:30 AM 962 Views
At this rate, I'll buy The Witcher 2 instead and wait for DA2 to bottom out in a Steam sale. *NM* Zalis - 10/04/2011 06:06:56 AM 407 Views
On my second playthrough so far. badassashaman - 19/04/2011 05:43:00 PM 952 Views
