Crushing Prison has to be the most overpowered spell in the game. I didn't realize it on my first playthrough but I make sure both Wynne and Morrigan have it with each new Warden I make.
| Slimebeast said: 2. Yeah, its almost impossible to power-level in DA! It's almost too little. Because the battles are very hard even on normal difficulty I almost wish there was som re-spawning low level mobs that I could grind on and level up. Now maybe you meant something different though. I havent clicked on that Wikipedia article but a guess would be that it's about levceling optimization more than power-leveling? 3. I didnt get your joke lol. |
EDIT: Yeah, that's what I meant, excessive character optimization.
2. One aspect of munchkinism is minmaxing - making very lopsided characters to take maximum advantage of everything (ie. putting all stat points into MAG as a Mage, for instance), and the other would be making in-game choices that run contrary to your characters personality/alignment/whatever just because the reward is better.
Dragon Age does a better job at this than, let's say, NWN, just because there's no "official" aligment to contradict. But like you said, the battles are a bit tougher than what you'd usually see, and that pushes players heavily towards minmaxing since non-optimized characters tend to get crushed, especially with new players.
3. Turkish Prison / Crushing Prison? :p
@Darc: Yeah, Crushing Prison is ridiculous. I tested it on the Mage's Tower, and if you land it on something that isn't a boss or a Revenant, it dies. Period.

I haven't really seen any of those yet besides some little things on Redcliffe - most of the time, my options just seem to be the same three stock choices Bioware always has: 1) But of course I'll get your kitty down from the demon-infested mountain of death and destruction! With mustard! 2) I don't want the XP or loot 3) I'LL EAT YOUR GRANDMA AND PISS ON HER SOUL Plus, there aren't really any "hard" choices, like you'd have in The Witcher, for instance. At least none have come up in the first 15 hours of playtime. EDIT: I will admit one thing, though - they did away with the ham-fisted alignment mechanic this time, and I'm honestly glad it's gone. Now it's much easier to roleplay your character without having to deal with a computer DM twisting your choices into something completely different - not all the time, at least. |
The section in Orzamar (and less so, but the section in the Circle come to think of it) is less black and white, as is the moral choice Morrigan asks of you towards the end. Your choice 3 made me lol.
Mise there are hard choices in the game. Orzammar for instance. I know I've chosen the same side in each of my playthroughs because I don't like how the alternative choice got in his position. However it seems like the alternative choice, despite being unscrupulous, is actually best for the country.

Oh?
I haven't actually been to Orzammar yet, so maybe there's still hope. Knowing Bioware, I'm not expecting that much, though.

I really want to play Dragon Age
WOW dragon age orgins is the best rpg ive played in years..since fable.....:) but this is so much better.
i am currently and elf mage male..
and stuck in the tower of ashal i kill like 3 ppl than my party all dies and i die i tried every tactic possible....
:((((
Okay, it was a while ago I finished Dragon Age. Maybe 3 weeks ago.
My total play time was +80 hours (including the DLC). I had the ambition to do all side quests but missed a handful I think. Some side-quests were really simple and stupid - fetch 10 of these letters or gems and hand them to the company for gold lol.
The characters were lovable and extremely well made. A small thing I didn't like was that their mentality and thinking was a bit too modern and progressive. It didn't feel appropriate for a medieval fantasy game. But I guess that's Bioware's style, they wanna send out a message.
I think my final score would be 94%. GOTY 2009.
