That once you play this game you can't play anything else because it makes anything else pale into insignificance! No going back now! Will just have to wait for new and better stuff to be released!

[Earion-Lun]

You bet¡¡¡¡

LOL!  Thats it..you are doomed...join the rest of us.

But you can totally play again!  There are enough branches to the plot for several playthroughs.

[Mr_Steph]

So true

[elearon1]

There are other good games out there. I'd recommend "The Witcher" and "Planescape: Torment" (if you can find it) But for contemporary games ... uh ... I'm at a loss.

[Cyberfrog81]

I think The Witcher 2 just might put most modern RPGs to shame, but that remains to be seen. The original game has its flaws, but compared to Dragon Age, the game world feels more alive, and the music and overall atmosphere is fantastic. Assuming you get into the game, some of the moral dilemmas are more challenging as well as more interesting.



The Mass Effect series, of course, is another awesome experience, even though some act like playing it is beneath them - apparently, (especially ME2) it's not RPG enough.

I just saw the trailer of Witcher 2 and I didn't know a Leliana look alike was in that game.

[Lord Gremlin]

..you know, you're right. I can't bring myself to stop playing Dragon Age and play anything else. It sits firmly in my PS3, I've already got Platinum and still just can't stop playing - I have 2 dwarfs in Origins and a HNF in Awakening, all in progress...



And it was so nice... I've bought a new copy pretty cheap, was going to play through it once and put it aside forever...

...and now I have 9 characters and all DLC from PS store. Bioware games are like drugs. Speaking of Witcher, I consider first game utter garbage, and Witcher 2 is nothing but a couple of videos and interviews for now.

Aside from the fact Triss and Leliana look nothing alike, I'd like to point out that Triss actually came first so Leliana is a "Triss look-a-like", not the other way around. But they don't look similar at all.

Have to say I'm one of the few people who really wasn't bowled over by Dragon Age. It took me a few months to complete it because I just couldn't get into it, and since then I've never gotten on too well with it. I like it, sure, but I don't really get the hype for it.

Man Bioware should take note from the Witcher

To me they do.

Redheads. Curse them, all looking alike.



Here's a decent Witcher 2 demonstration/interview from E3:

Witcher was supposed to be coming out on the PS3 but got canned

[Wyndham711]

Dragon Age was such a powerful experience that after playing it every other game has had a hard time holding my interest. Pretty much all games feel somehow light and hollow in comparison. To me this is gaming's finest masterpiece.

I found The Witcher unplayable because of that dreadful timing-based combat system.

While I didn't find it unplayable, I did find it to have just about the worst combat system in an RPG I've ever encountered.  The fact that the journal made some decisions for me that I hadn't made didn't help either (there's an investigation in the game, and the journal told me I'd ruled out some people who I didn't even feel I'd started investigating yet.)

Among modern RPGs, DA is definitely my favorite.  I still prefer turn-based combat, though.

Best of the 21st century so far.

I like turn-based, but I find real-time with pause to be just as good (as long as I can give orders, including move orders, while paused).

[Akamadoushi]

Tell me about it, I've beaten the game 9 times now (twice with all DLC installed) and I still can't put it down.

[Arthur Cousland]

I bought Mass Effect 2 shortly after Christmas and have yet to play it (6 months later) all due to Dragon Age. Even when trying to play other games for a few hours, I always come back to this. I love my medieval rpgs. If it doesn't have swords and magic, it just isn't the same.

So you haven't played Gothic then. That game has the worst RPG combat system ever, but you can pull through even that because gothic has a really nice open world that even beat the Elderscrolls games in a few areas. (but it's not better then the elderscrolls serie)

the witchers combat system isn't good because it isn't a RPG system it's a action game system.

and it look like the system remain in witcher 2.

[Cyberfrog81]

No, the strict timing based attacks have been scrapped for Witcher 2. I would be surprised if the combat isn't better in every way. You do indeed get an "action game" vibe from e.g. the boss combat that has been demontrated though. Personally, I don't care, as long as the story is good and the gameplay enjoyable. RPG purism is lame. Looking at Mass Effect, I'd say BioWare agrees.



Competition FTW.

[CID-78]

RPG purism isn't lame. it's just very hard to get right or rather very complex to build. and action system are simple and easy todo. that's why almost all games endup with them.



keep clicking on your mouse doesn't make combat more fun. I rather spend the time with strategy and picking between multiple way of doing things. there is simply to much focus on combats in crpgs.

I used to do that, as soon as I finished one playthrough I'd say "Right, that it.", wait five minutes, then make a new character, but I think I cured myself of it. I made a character and did everything perfectly, which cured me of my compulsion to keep retrying. I still replay now and again, of course, but I got part of my life back.
