I can't really blame people who go to the dalish or redcliffe first after lothering. The dalish elf areas are initially boring but it blossoms into something great. Redcliffe is a bit straightforward. Personally I went to the mage tower first because after playing through and deciding on city elf rogue..I REALLY wanted a healer first(Wynne). I suggest after Lothering goto Mage Tower, then goto Orzammar, redcliffe, dalish forest and then Denerim.

I'll tell you what really made this game for me however...Orzammar + the Deep Roads. Yes, I have purchased and read the books by David privy to the game and they really added to it but that doesn't change how great the deep roads is.

I disagree,i would do mage tower first if your looking for a healer,BUT for any character i would recommend doing redcliffe either 2nd or first after the lothering battle because it leads you into denerim which is filled with many side quests with valuable rewards,(just my opinion).

I can honestly say I had the same experience as you (op). I kept waiting for the game to suck me in but it never did. This game is missing something. The story did not suck me in and by the end I was kinda wtf?! about the whole thing. Something went wrong. I personally think it's a combination of lack interesting well done side quests, bad storytelling near the end, and just little details here and there that just don't suck you in the game world.

Thanks for the replies for those that choose not to turn a legitimate topic into a silly exercise in trolling. Please stay on topic and leave pointless observations in the way one should seek their entertainment to your own threads. I seeking opinions on those of similar tastes on what I can expect from the game.

I suggest you really try to "role play".  Get into your character and try to feel what they feel.  The story and acting makes it easy.

This game is like a good book.  You need to sit down and focus your attention on it

If this game were a book it would be a bad one. I feel awful bad mouthing BioWare cuz they've made a lot of a great games and are the masters of engaging RPGs.  Maybe my negative feelings about this game are because of the high esteem I hold BIoware in but the world was drab and repetitive at times, the story was lazy and inconsequential, and the character interactions felt short and truncated. I agre w/ what another poster that the game is impersonal. I just never really felt like anything mattered. I'm just generic Grey Warden that could be replaced by any Grey Warden. All the Grey Wardens in Feralden are dead? so what there are more outside Feralden to continue the fight. Feralden may fall to the darkspawn?  so what Orlais and other places have armies and Grey Wardens to stop the blight themselves.  Who rules Feralden? I really could care less who rules.

At no point after the origins story did I feel drawn in to the game.

I love the freakin game and I think it's bioware's best game to date! And I can't promise you'll like the game, but I can promise it's to damn early for you to judge! You say there isn't much freedom with the classes, well DUH, you only have three to pick up at first, but then you get four specializations for each class, and you can pick two out of those four. So you really can end up with very diffrent classes and characters each play through. I played a warrior beserker/reaver and I can tell you that feels VERY diffrent then a warrior champion/templer.



About half the origins were sub-par (dalish was pretty lame), the rest was good to great, dwarf noble is generally seen as the best though. These are more tutorials then anything though, and being so low lev, you have no fancy moves.



I am currently doing the first part of Redcliff, and goddamn the undead siege was underwhelming, I would say it even sucked. BUT Orzimar was amazing! Theres one scene where you half to constantly fight all the way across a crumbling bridge (and I mean swarms of never ending enemies) and THEN beat a troll and an army of archers... all with the legion of dead at your back. That was Dragon Age at it's best!



Long story short your just not far enough, and your played perhaps one of the weakest portions of the game.

I have played A LOT of CRPGS in my day- started w/ Bard’s Tale & SSI goldbox series have played BG2……..
 
Maybe I believed the hype too much, maybe I can never recapture the feeling I got when I first discovered CRPGS, but hopefully its just that maybe I haven’t given it enough time.

I have just started night time in Redcliff and I am playing as a rogue and I am level 7.  Maybe I expected too much, but I am not exactly blown away by the plot/story so far and maybe I am just too programmed by D&D, but I am also a little disappointment w/ the lack of variety in classes/character development.  I like that the world seems low magic, but at the same time I am eager to see what exciting and different types of magical equipment, items, devices, ect that are available.  I mean is anything ground breaking?  It has not been a bad experience and it is a good game so far………just not the absolute master piece I was expecting from all I have read.   I  like some of the party banter and passing town folk gossip and such, but something is lacking. 
 
Some games just draw you in and can’t stay away from the keyboard, KOTOR, Rome: Total War, NWN2 were a few that did so for me, but DA:O has failed so far to do as much. So please, tell me it is going to get even better?  Will I see a deeper story?  Will my rogue develope very different from next rogue or even my 1st play thru as a warrior?  Will I get that “sucked in” quality from it? 

I'm going to have to agree with some of the people that have responded. Redcliff is pretty meh in terms of story. It gets a little interesting witht the quest later on. I started with a warrior but decided to roll as a mage because it seemed like so many characters you come across are warriors. When I played as the mage I was dealt with a really deep story about the mages and what they had to go through and deal with possessing their power. When you go to seek the mages help, the story gets really good. I dont want to spoil much but the game includes some really interesting quests. After I came upon this part of the game I really got sucked in. I suggest you head over there as soon as you can. At the moment I'm helping the dwarves and really enjoying this part of the game as well. Hope this helps you a bit.
