I edited my post cos I realized u'd bring up Black Isle. The other guy started with Obsidian vs Bioware. Do u still agree with him?

Yes, because Chris Avellone is the same guy now as he was ten years ago

But isn't consensus that KOTOR 2 was much worse than KOTOR 1, and Neverwinter nights 2 much worse than NWN1?

Not... really. Some hold that KotoR2 was worse, yes, but almost nobody claims it was worse based on its writing or its worldbuilding or how it bildso n the Star Wars mythos, which is primarily what I caed about.

I had been under the impression that the NWN2 expansions elevated it high above the original, but I have not played those.

I must need to play more, because the bit that I've played I have no liked at all.

How far r u in the game?

About 2-3 hours in, I stopped playing it about a week ago due to just being bored with it.

I see. I havent played any of those very much so I have no idea, thats just what I've heard through the years.

So you came in here calling my opinion into question without playing any of the relevant games?

I assume u have picked up Morrigan then and u are involved with quests in Lothering?

Well, if u dont like at to that point u might as well quit lol.

What? the intro stories were super fun, what class/race did you go with?

i really didnt like dragon age but that it just me...the battle system was boring to me but i loved the everything else, it seems good, ill give it a better shot next time i play it

but still Demon's souls>dragon age origins imo =p

Just turn the difficulty down to casual, whilst shameful, it does make it a lot more fun, as you can just concentrate on the story

It's not very hard on normal if you don't go to late game areas like Orzammar early. They put high level bandits there on purpose to scare people off.

Dragon Age is perhaps my favorite WRPG ever (on PC only however). I disagree with people who say the best parts were the parts from their old games like Baldur's Gate. The best part is that it combined that with ALL of their advancements in modern storytelling and gameplay plus the best cast of characters they've ever created. Mass Effect 2 will not beat it as an RPG, even if it beats it as an overall game (it's mostly shooter).

1. Dragon Age: Origins
2. The World Ends With You
3. Demon's Souls
4. Fallout 3
5. Mass Effect

I wasnt questioning you, I was curious and wanted to make sure I didnt misunderstand, since this is the first time Ive ever seen someone say Obsidian beats Bioware.

It isn't impossible, but I was in the fade, and kept being killed as soon as I entered a room, and I am enjoying the storyline now I don't have to worry about dying

@ nazna, the problem for me is that I think the storytelling is a step back from Mass Effect, and graphically, I think it is far inferior. The fact that the main character does not speak does bother me {my elf also looks a little pathetic)

I am planning on getting a much more powerful PC in the summer, and I think I will get Dragon Age again for the PC to see the proper version and try again with a different class
