are you acting evil or good? -- Mostly being nice... I will be evil in a second playthrough probably

Oh, and my only real complaint is the graphics are pretty poor

Playing on PC and absolutely loving it. Sure, the graphics are a bit 2005 MMORPG, but the game itself is everything I wanted. Currently playing a girly Elf rogue covered tip-to-toe in dragon scale armour, wielding two swords. My party varies according to my whim -- I have no strong favourites, although Wynne is almost always in there as the healing is necessary for most situations. Broadly I'm playing good with a touch of thievery and inevitable killing, and I'm doing every quest I can get my hands on.

I'm at the 100 hour mark and almost at level 21.

What are your thoughts on the game so far?

I have the ps3 version. The graphics really grew on me. At first I was a little disappointed... but now I think they look incredible! Especially the final blow animations that happen every once in a while.

The tactics in this game seem really deep. So far I have only played normal.. but I found at times I do need to micro manage the whole team, which is really fun to do. CC is really important and there's a ton of it. I haven't even started experimenting with traps etc.

There are a few small things that I really enjoy. People in your party have conversations with each other. They change depending on who's in your group. Also giving gifts to party members to make them like you was really interesting. The moral choice you have to make in this game are really tough at times. Sometimes it doesn't seem like there's a good or bad choice, just a hard choice.

Do the Warden's Keep DLC as soon as possible.

I think after playing fallout 3 this game does feel like it's missing some of the things that made fallout 3 great. Small things like if you fight next to an NPC in dragon age they just stand there, in fallout 3 they would run away or something.

Overall this game is huge and epic and will prevent me from buying new games for a while.

Who are you? (Race & Job)

Noble Human, Warrior specialized in 2 Handed weapons

Who's in your party right now....umm answer this wisely, no spoilers please!!

Dwarf male beserker, 2 female mages,

IF you have finished it what would you rate the game?

I am at about 45 hours... but it doesn't seem like it's going to end soon. So far I would rate it 8.5-9


Are you doing side quests or just doing the main mission?

I'm doing some of the side quests... but mostly if they happen to be in the same places as the side missions. This is mostly because I plan to do all of them when I start an elf rogue.

are you acting evil or good?

Good

@slimebeast

so far I am SURPRISED at how immersive the game is

yeah yeah graphics aren't amazing, but who cares, they are adequate & the character models are good, unlike oblivons (ROFL ROFL ROFL)

Maybe playing a bioware RPG after such a long time has made me really "happy"

Overall score? well its hard to predict as I dunno how good or bad it will get..or how amazing & so on

.....umm....probably will fall below uncharted 2 for the year, in terms of RPG's alone, it will probably destroy Fallout 3 for me & edge out oblivion

@munkeh111

good it seems like we'r at the same place lol

I'm ALREADY 10 hours in...its a time sucker!

I have PC

well i have a few characters. I did have a rogue dual weider, who was primarily good. though my good acts were always motivated by profit to myself. He was like lvl 12 and kick ass with starfang and some other can't remember dagger that was awesome. I can't look because while fiddling around and deleting my old dual weilder who was like lvl 2 that i wasn't playing i accidently deleted my character :( Good ol 20+ hours down the drain.

so right now I have a new Rogue, who is an archer, he is same as above, good sided for profit. And I recently made a mage, not very far with him. Its too tricky thinking what spells and shit i want that i havne't gotten far cause not sure where to go. And I have a dual weild rogue again that restarted, not very far.

Did the mage orign, and both elf origins. People I use in my group are alistar, archer lady (leeina?) and morrigan. Kind of sucks not having a healer, but morrigans cold cone kicks major ass for keeping me alive. plus their is this prizm type move that like paralzyes a guy and hurst him till dead which is nice to use on the yellow guys in the gropu or the leader.

it is nice having a healer, but i dont' like using an old lady and plus her attacking sucks. i use the archer lady due to her having pick lock mainly. though with my archer guy, he uses pick lock so wont' be using her then. I like the sword shild combo, so that involves allister.

i have yet to do the dl for the rock dude, and just recently had gotten the assassin rogue, so if other guys further on i don' tknow. but that game was deleted so dont' have them anyway now.

So far the only part I hate is the big battle in begginning at oristigard. Probably because done it so many times, and also before entering tower when its rainign and all that fire is the only time my game lags. The graphics are great i think. I have my graphics all maxed and using my screens max resolution of 1680x1050. so maybe it looks worse on consoles or if you can't max on pc.

I also kind of hate how it starts you out with skills that you can't get rid of, and stats. Like wtf do i need 2 magic for, or making me keep this poison making. Be nice if they were completely from scratch like in D&D.

But biggest complaint I guess is the lack of armor models. Thers like only 5 and then just different colors. Hping soon their is a mod made that someone changes all themodels of the stuff.

as for sidequest, i do them all, and always do in games. They are really helpful in this game due to no random spawns so you do them all to get as much xp as you can. and also the fact that you get money for completing plus looting.

and i am loving the difficutly of the game.  Neverwinter and KOTOR were way too easy.  You coudl always just rush in and take out the mobs of people.  Now it takes strategy, of combing attacks, flanking, freezing enemies, paralyzing ect.    The only time I have done anything cheap was when fighting golem for the first time.  Well not first time, cause first 2 times i died.  But then I realized he just chased after one guy so while other 3 stood back and attacked with spells and arrows i just ran around.  Felt cheap, but wow they made that hard, especially when he pick up allistar.  Only guy i had that could knock others out of the ogres hand with his sheild bash.  But later in tower when alone my rogue owned the ogres. 

First of all let me say thanks for this thread Darth.

One more thing you should add to your list is the platform your playing on.

Platform: PC

Opps EDIT, Who are you: Human Noble Male

What are your thoughts on the game so far?: The game is simply fantatic. Its a non-sub based MMO where i dont have to deal with others. lol great! The only somplaint i have is the fast travel is LAME! I should have been like FO 3 or Oblivion and let me travel like thoes games.

Who's in your party right now....umm answer this wisely, no spoilers please!!: Well im a tank. I always have felt, coming from MMO's myself, that the leaders should be the tanks. But i will be doing more playthroughs as other classes, prob a mage next. I take with me Zevran (Assasin), Wynne (Healing Mage) and Morrigan (DPS Mage). Morrigan is one of the most interesting char's i have ever seen in a game to this date. I love her lol and my char has had a lot of fun with her in game =0). Seems 2 mages is the way to go to be honest. I think if it wasent for lock-picking id have 3, the 3rd being me.

IF you have finished it what would you rate the game?: I have not finished it but i have played for a total of 50+ hours and i can say this game, on PC, is a 9.5. Again i have not beat it so take that for whats its worth....FU Edge!

Are you doing side quests or just doing the main mission?: I do every quest i possibly can.

are you acting evil or good?: Good all the way. I have plot reasons i wont spoil either that make me wanna stay good.

I guess I have ONE HUGE COMPLAINT.  I so wish this was like neverwinter nights and you coudl go online.  I was part of some great online worlds that people had made, and then also you can then play with your friends.  I dont' want it to be a MMO, cause dislike paying monthly, but would love to have the online option like neverwinter/diablo2/dungeon siege/ect.

i mean its set up perfectly too, with the whole toolset, where people can make their own worlds.

and well talking abotu this, made me wnat to go play agian, so i'm off to play some more, laters.
