This game absolutely rules. Just awesome.

Mr. Gaider: Offer to bear your children? Still totally open.



More seriously, oh man, you've all made my little gamer heart explode with glee.

[Cheiron the Centaur]

I'll add my +1 as well.



Despite the initial launching issues, this game is already my favorite RPG of all time (awesome character interaction and story!), and given the toolset, I'm sure it will provide me with many, many more hours of entertainment in the years to come. A big thank you to Bioware and to all people who contributed to the game!

I'll chime in on this thread! Ditto for everything the OP stated. I was wondering prior to purchase how the game would really work. I mean we saw those pre-sale video's, which were pretty awesome. Heck I have seen my fair share of pre-sale video's only to find out there no such thing any where to be found in the actual game. But what a relief to see everything they advertised is not only true, but better. The cut scene's just make it more real and that is what an RPG is all about! If the game draws you into their world where you are in the game totally absorbed, well thats a job well done!

Thank You for doing it in DAO! I am also pretty sure that a lot of these little suggestions will be implemented into the game with forth coming patchs.

GREAT JOB & THANK YOU!

A great game which brought me some interesting combat and stories; can't fault it for much but would prefer more exploration off the beaten track.



In terms of modern games definitely an 8/10 or greater so thanks for listening to the community

[Godeshus]

This game sucked. Those stupid black and red squares everywhere just really confuse me. And HONESTLY. I have to go ALL the way to the end to get a pig? COME ON!!!...oh wait. That's checkers.

Dragon Age is AWESOME!!

[PT.Vohnsen]

This is a top of the list game.



We all know that for sure!



Thanks Bioware...

[Dagiz]

I'll add my thanks as well.

This is the first game in a long time that has held my interest and i wanted to keep playing it as long as I could.  finmished my first play through and realized there was probably things that I missed but that's what going through and playing again is all about.  can't wait to try something different out and see what it looks like. 

If (when) the sequel comes out I know I will get it.  Now I have another game to add to the list of games to cycle through (BG, BGII, etc.) and looking forward to it.

Kudos to you guys. 

[Malkavianqueen]

I just have to chime in with my thanks! This game was just epic, and I'm looking forward to Mass Effect 2 as well.



As long as you keep making such awesome games, I will keep buying them! ;P

[Andraste_Reborn]

Just wanted to add my love onto the pile. After I finished playing through the game for the first time, I took a deep breath, got a few hours sleep ... then booted it straight back up again and started all over with a new character. I've never done that with an RPG before.



It's entirely possible that this may turn out to be my favourite game of all time. The current title holders are Baldur's Gate and its sequels, and I'm not prepared to declare the series dethroned just yet. But I suspect that in five years or so when Dragon Age 2 has come out I may feel more comfortable doing so :-).

On one hand, I understand why people feel motivated to make these threads, but on the other hand...these threads are not really necessary.


Let's not kid ourselves, people.  The only "thank you's" that really matter to Bioware at the end of the day is the sweet jingle in their pockets from the sales of DA (which have been going very well as far as I know).

If the game had tanked in the sales dep't, no amount of "thank you's" or gushing praise from us devoted fans would amount to a hill of beans as far as Bioware  is concerned.

Besides, most game developers have developed thick skins. Also, the game developers have  a secret weapon...an added form of protection, in addition to their thick skins...the fanboys !!!

The most militant  Bioware fans on this forum have adopted an attitude of "let's just dismiss it or ignore it" when it comes to the posts which are critical of Dragon Age in any way.  Ever are they quick to rush in to battle  with the words "troll" or "stupid moron" on their lips if anyone who dares to criticize rears their head on this domain.

"Never darken the portals of my abode again, Trolly Mctrollerson !"

i totally disagree with this.
publishers care about money, most of the time developers dont.
imagine, if you will, a conversation that (probably didnt) took place when zeschuk and muzyka started bioware.

Z- "were doctors. we will have a comfortable life for us and our families and all will probably be well the rest of our lives. lets play RPGs and buy nice cars and houses..."

M- "you know, 200K+ a year isnt enough for me. we need to TOALLY start a development company that makes RPGs. we'll rake in tons of loot and get laid 24-7, because everyone LOVES D&D RPGs!!!"

Z- "what year is it?"

M- "1995 and EVERYONE plays RPGs all the time, we need to start pumping them out and cashing in!!!"

Z- "well, shouldnt we make a football game or a shooter then?"

M- "HELL NO!!! didnt you hear, that EA company that makes those weird madden games just went out of business cause nobody buys those weird football games???"

Z- "oh yeah, i did hear that..."

M- "anyways, heres the game plan, make a game called baldur's gate, rake in the dough, buy TONS of coke and then go out in a blaze of glory tony montana style, with an m-16 with the grenade launcher option in our billion dollar houses!!!"

now dont get me wrong, bioware knows their name is gold right now. but they have earned it. but dont tell me they only do it for the money, if they did, they wouldnt be making these kinds of games. theyre one of the only few developers left who are more concerned with creating an awersome story that caters to nerd style gameplay.

so yes they do deserve praise because no one else is making games for us anymore. the only companies that touch anything near an RPG anymore is if there are three little letters before, and thats MMO.

i have played 4 decent story RPGs prior to DAO in the last 10 years!!!

fallout 3, mass effect, KotOR and KotOR2... half of those are bioware games, and 3/4ths exist because of bioware...

yeah theres a few other decent RPGs, but when bioware puts out a game its a god damned event. i mark my calendar a year before and set aside a whole day for launch. thats the kind of games bioware makes. i know when i play them my gaming perspective will be changed from there on out.

[Rusty McFinger]

Last time I played Baldur's Gate 2 was last year, 10 years after the release. I think it's very likely that Dragon Age is a game I will reinstall 10 years from now to play again.

[Solica]

I'll be happy to add to this thread. I do think I've already thanked BW elsewhere, on the side, but ok.
I do also think it's a waste of forum space though, so:

...- Now let's get back to the criticizing...  Every player class is waaay overpowered and so are all the enemies. 'Normal' is too hard and 'Nightmare' is ridiculously eeeeasy. Why do I personally have to manage all the fights? Why can't I just target and sit back watch how great I am at this? No, I don't want to play it on 'easy', I want it to do that on 'hard', pff, I mean who plays games on 'easy'? Why can't I turn off the boring dialogue and just get on with the game, like? And isn't all the tedious combat not just an artificial way of making this game longer? I mean, I bet it's a really short game if you removed combat and dialogue, huh? ...yea, and another thing... The game should have been more like 'Grand Theft Auto', and 'Halo',.. or at least more like 'Diablo'. ...And hey, - why is it a Tolkien setting? I mean dwarfes and elves and stuff, that's sooo cliche...  Look at 'Final Fantasy' to get a clue. BTW, your rule set is all wrong. It should be different. Mail me if you're interested and I'll tell you how it should be. I have one that features 276 distinctly different classes, 82 prestige classes and 17 ultra prestige classes, including 'Pirate Zealot' and 'Dread Ninja Warlock' (those really rock)  ...yea, and another thing... Your Bligh Wolves are all wrong, they shouldn't look like that at all. ..Uh, and did I tell you the graphics sux? And why isn't there a Wii version?

...And here's my list of RPG games:
1: !!!! BAYONETTA - 11/10 !!!!!
2: Final Fantasy - 10/10
3: Dungeon Siege - 9/10
4: NWN: OC - 8/10
5: KotOR - 5/10
6: Mass Effect - 4/10
7: Dragon Age 3/10
8: Icewind Dale - 1/10
9: Fall Out 3 - 1/10
10: Baldur's Gate - 1/10
11: The Witcher - 0/10
12: Planescape Torment - 0/10
13: Morrowind - 0/10

I was thinking about opening this kind of thread, myself.
Before Dragon Age was released, I used to whine and complain a lot in the old forum, voicing my opinion that the game would suck, that it would be dumb and commercial and childish (because of that  "violence trailer" with the Marylin Manson music, and some of the silly character interviews, and all that....).
Thankfully, I was very, very wrong. Turns out Dragon Age was a victim of false advertising - the game is NOTHING like those fake trailers would make you believe. I'm slightly disappointed that they'd think such wonderful rpg wouldn't sell if they showed it for what it really is..... but who cares, when what is important is that Dragon Age is superb.
It has excellent characters, clever dialogues, a very good and fresh fantasy lore, well-developed gameplay.... it's magnificent!! I never would have expected for this videogame to be so good, and I must really apologize for having been complaining and ranting so much in the days when we were waiting for its release date.

[T1l]

Cheers to everyone in this thread who added to the thanks. I was honestly expecting people to turn this thread around somehow and make it into a complaint thread. It's good to know others feel as grateful as I do.

They didn't make Fallout 1 but if you don't take it into account then that's correct.

Dragon Age is a magnificent game. It may not be perfect but that's the most fun I've had playing a CRPG in years. Kudos to you and to T1l for making this thread!

I am curious about the morale of the Bioware devs.

Are they mainly upset about the anti-dlc threads? Or about people criticising aspects of the game?

[...]

It is pretty pointless to be upset with your customer loudly.

Behind the scenes, yes of course, devs are humans too.

But you should never admit it, thats really bad.

Oh my God.  It has been ten years hasn't it. Oh those were good days back then.  Waited for so long for number three to launch, but never did.  I'm glad to see this though, great game!

[dheer]

I couldn't agree more. I haven't been this enthralled with a game for quite a while.

[Cassadir]

Best RPG for me in years.. Looking forward to some serious good expansions like in Baldurs Gate..

[Sorcy73]

I wasn't even going to buy this game. A friend of mine that worships Bioware kept on and on about this damn game for over a year. He wore me down into buying it just so I could say I had and shut him the hell up.



I was ill when it finally got released so spent my time in bed and loaded up the game. I'm hooked. Completely and utterly. I found myself trying to stay awake to just play out the next part of the storyline. I got emotionally attached to several of the characters. I wanted to know anything and everything about them. I ended up buying both David Gaider books (thank you!) just so I could learn more about the story.



In short, this game was nothing I expected and everything I could wish for. Sure it has glitches and bugs, but I don't think I've ever had a game that didn't when it came out. Honestly though, the absorption of the storyline took me in so easily I could pretty much overlook any of the flaws.



Thank you Bioware, for creating a game that I could really PLAY. Thank you Sir Buliwyf for pestering me into submission (Bioware, you shold payroll that guy, really, I think he nagged half his friends into buying your game.) and lastly thank you Steve Valentine, for breaking my heart!

Ty bioware for dragon age.

Fu EA for DLC.

[Atticus the great]

I agree with the rest of the sentiments on here that Bioware have excelled themselves again in creating a truly superb game! I am looking forward to the DLC's and Mass Effect 2.

Thankyou.
