I'm sure the fan boys will clobber this post, but there is no need.  This is directed at Bioware employees.  So many programming errors and poor choices. 

I'm very disappointed at the lack of balance and overall fun in this game.  The combat on Normal is beyond brutal in the last fights of the game.  Unreal priority given to Stun and Knockdown effects.  Very poor AI all round plus sluggish controls and an overly complicated combat menu that fails to activate time and again.

I will give props to the dialogue, depth of choices in chat trees, and the attempt at bringing the player into the emotion of the game's storyline.  Outside of that, DA:O falls short on every front for a "Next Gen" game.  Poor graphics, a bad choice to use NWN style level creation leading to blocky level design.  A lack of music.  Awful combat system.  Not once in my playthrough on Normal did I ever feel like the Hero of the story.  DA:O's combat isn't difficult.  Demon Souls is difficult.  DA:O's combat system was just poorly designed and implemented.  And never has my playthrough of an RPG had me scrapping for gold like a pauper more than this game.  A tip to the braintrust programmers in charge of memory allocation:  If a player reloads a game that is in the same area you just left, you don't have to reload every texture.  Loading times in this game were inexcusable.


I leave the fanboys with this to argue over since I shant return to this thread:  If DA:O is so great, why is it that one week after release, it took a $10 price drop and the number of returns is high? 

I pray that the folks working on Mass Effect 2 had nothing to do with this travesty of a game.

You must be one of those FPS guys...

I think that a lot of people got the wrong impression of the game just as I initially did.

The way the wording is on the box gives the distinct impression that the game is a multi-player on-line game but of course it is not.

The people at the Game Stop also told me that it was a MMO game.

I inquired about it in the forum and of course all of the crazies turned the thread into a flame fest and told me that I should have known better and called me a "Troll".

The game actually looks good to me however I am not really a gamer per say so I am not factoring in things like game balance but my suspicion is that as soon as people who bought the game learned that it was in fact not an MMO they returned it.

I think it would be great as an MMO so maybe they should make something like that for the future.

As it is now it looks to me to be very much like Jade Empire which was one of my favorite games back when I did play more often.

Seriously?!? O_O
GameStop told you it was a MMO?
Epic fail gamestop...just epic fail.
Game's awesome though don't let the fact that it isn't a MMO stop you from playing!

Yeah, they did.
And if they told that to me it's not suprising that they have told it to many more.
Don't get me wrong, I like the game and I am not going to return it but I will bet that many more have.
But keep in mind that the people at GameStop are not really all that informed to begin with because they didn't even know about the 1 million XBoxes that have been banned either and they are still taking them in and selling them.
I guess they will figure it out eventually though.

My rig is one of the fastest you can buy today and I run crossfire 5850's so I have zero performance issues with this game so far, I have not encountered the memory leak because I have not played more than an hour at a time.



I agree with everyone who has a problem with the graphics here, on a really large screen they look very NWN even with all settings maxed, it's not that an RPG must have the greatest graphics, I just expected a little more. I also had the impression from the box and salespeople it allowed online play not just DLC, so I'm a little jaded about that too.



The game does not compare to BG2 very well, BG2 is far superior in too many ways. However this is the first DA game and it does compare favorably with BG+expansion. For the first outing of new IP Bioware has done a good job, it has not pulled me away from finishing Risen (which is just a solid game nothing spectacular) first.



Overall I think their is a ton of room for improvement and this forum is reminding me more and more of the Hellgate London forums back when that game was in beta and then just released. Whenever anyone brings up what needs to be fixed or could be improved they get swarmed by the fan boys, it's what gave the HGL devs a false sense of "how great" their game was and helped sink that whole endevor.



I'm looking forward to finishing DA and looking even more forward to a bigger, badder, properly marketed DA2.

I'm really confused on how you could mistake this for a MMO game. Seriously one search on google and you'd find out otherwise, don't people actually research games they buy these days? I thought with the economy issue's it would have promoted intelligent spending.



The problem with people bringing up what needs to be fixed and improved is usually because they have an entirely different vision of the game than what the people who've been following it have.



The usual "tons of room for improvement" posts are asking for stuff the game wasn't supposed to have and would of hurt the overal gaming experience, like for example multiplayer.



If you don't want to be dissapointed next time actually RESEARCH products you buy.

No that's not my problem,i love my console's.
My point was that's where you are getting the "bad graphic's" from people,i was simply replying to your post about the graphic's.
I understand it's hard for your PC elitist mindset to comprehend this but.....wait for it.....there are actually other system's that play video game's...shocker!..i know but it's true.

um, forcefield, AW, full tank setup = best tank in the game.

That combo must be a PC thing because i cant,for the life of me,figure out how to cast forcefield on my own players.
I play on hard and i can only cast on the enemy or on the caster itself,its really annoying.

DA:Origins is a very mixed bag for me, which is why I think there is such a wide variety of opinions on it.



Overall: 6/10



Graphics: 6/10



Voice Acting: 2/10



Storyline: 8/10



NPC Interactions: 1/10



UI: 7/10



Game Mechanics: 10/10





I was expecting more of an "open" world/storyline, like Oblivion. If it wasn't fro the amazing game mechanics i would have given up on this game a long time ago.

If a nerd blogs in the woods and no one reads his crybaby whine "directed at the developers" does anyone care?

Playing on a PC with Windows 7 64 bit, 8GB RAM, Intel SSD and GTX295.. so PLENTY of horsepower.


I find the graphics in DA:Origins acceptable. Definitely not cuting edge or awe inspiring.

The cut scenes are utter rubbish.  I truely hope they spend a lot of the budget on them, because if they did they were ripped off.  Would have been better off just shipping a paperback novel with the dialogie or a graphic novel.

If you want graphics and Michael Bay explosions over storytelling and gameplay, go back to Call of Duty.

I have a suggestion for you and it is given with all humility.  Don't buy a new game until it has been out for at least 6-months.

Patches, up-grades etc will have resolved 90% of your issues and you will be a happy boy.

Happy unless 90% of expectations met leaves you unhappy about the remaining 10%

Why do people think they can write "dear bioware" posts .. send them a friggin email if you think you're so important that they only care about your boring opinion without other comments

Why should a single-player game built around party combat have to balance individual classes against eachother?

I've wondered this a few times, myself. If some classes are better than others, so be it. If you like playing class X, but class Y has more advantages, does that mean you're unable to enjoy class X knowing that there's another more powerful option? (And if that's the case, why did you want to play X in the first place?)
