1.  Why does the armour look retarded?  (Missing pauldron on other shoulder and other exaggerated features)

2.  Why doesnt the mage heal me when my health is less than 50% when set in the tactics tab?  (Yes, a Mage that heals...)

3.  Why should I have to set affinity CPU usage in the task manager every time I start the game?

4.  Why does the mouse lag when I want to change camera views?

5.  Why is the mouse sensitivity so low when set at the maximum value?

6.  Why are there only 3 classes?

7.  Why have Bioware bowed down to EA?

8.  Why is this game single player only?

9.  Why do I have to use 1 brain for 3 other party members with fail AI?

10. Why did Bioware suddenly release cowboy software to the public?

11. Why are there so many loading screens/area transitions instead of a giant world to explore?

12. Why can't I bind keys to the last few buttons on the action bar?

13. Why did I buy this game?

Please, anyone; feel free to continue.

I'd need to see the rest of the tactics page to know what you've done wrong.

6.  Why are there only 3 classes?

Because that's all you really need, given the ability to assign skills and talents yourself.

7.  Why have Bioware bowed down to EA?

There's no evidence they have.  That said, EA does own the joint, so it's not like BioWare would have any say in the matter.

8.  Why is this game single player only?

Because that makes it better.  I thought this was a fail list.

9.  Why do I have to use 1 brain for 3 other party members with fail AI?

Because it's a party-based game.  Are you not familiar with party-based tactical RPGs?

11. Why are there so many loading screens/area transitions instead of a giant world to explore?

Because a bigger world would have bigger hardware requirements.

Not that loading screens or area transitions prevent open exploration.  Baldur's Gate had both.

13. Why did I buy this game?

Apparently because you're unfamiliar with your own preferences.

I have one major complaint about DA: there are way too many bugs (PC version).

The mage hats are the worst. The plate armor doesn't look so bad, but there is one helm that makes every NPC look bloated and fat if you put it on them. I don't remember what it's called.

2.  Why doesnt the mage heal me when my health is less than 50% when set in the tactics tab?  (Yes, a Mage that heals...)


It's probably because your PC hit less that 50% health before the AI checked the "heal PC below 50% health" tactic.

6.  Why are there only 3 classes?


You do get specializations, and not all of them are crappy.

8.  Why is this game single player only?


Because it is a single player game. Why would you expect it to be otherwise?

9.  Why do I have to use 1 brain for 3 other party members with fail AI?


Perhaps take a good look at your AI settings and try to find out where the problems are. For example, if you're dying too much because you have the mage set to heal at 50% health, why not set the melee characters to take a health pultice at 75% health or 25% just in case?

In addition to the tactics problems, you can set mages to "regen/rejuvenate" characters at their various stamina/health levels, too. The only complaint I have for healers is this: no way for me to assign "group heal" to the AI tactics. That would have been nice.

It's OK you guys did an absolutely amazing job with DAO. The OP's problem can be summed up in one simple phrase: "Gaming on a PC".....the rest is just there to make the list of problems seem longer that's about it.

The heavy armor doesn't look retarded. If I where to have a sword in my hand, I'd prefer no pauldren to increase movement, and have one on my shield arm for added protection.

I think the heavy armor looks rather cool, what do you mean by 'exaggerated features'.

I too have a little lag with the mouse and the camera angles, but it is bearable.

Yes, but like, assign group heal "if all characters are at 25% health" or something.

So what are the major bugs? I have not had crashes, or bad saved games, or graphics glitches. My playing experience has been what I call 'smooth'. I think I saw one dialogue option that seemed out of order, but I barely noticed.

Ok, I'll give you this, but who cares?

Because you set up the tactics wrong. It works.

You don't have to.

Get a better computer, sorry.
[quote]
5.  Why is the mouse sensitivity so low when set at the maximum value?

See 4.
[quote]
6.  Why are there only 3 classes?
[/quote]
Because this isn't D&D, and the classes are much more flexible.
[quote]
7.  Why have Bioware bowed down to EA?
[/quote]
How have they? They started with DLC before the EA thing. The only somewhat annoying thing is the mess of pre-order exclusives.
[quote]
8.  Why is this game single player only?

So we don't have to deal with people like you any more than here on this forum.
[quote]
9.  Why do I have to use 1 brain for 3 other party members with fail AI?
[/quote]
Get better at the tactics system, it's not all that hard honestly.
[quote]
10. Why did Bioware suddenly release cowboy software to the public?
[/quote]
What does this even mean? Do you mean the toolset?
[quote]
11. Why are there so many loading screens/area transitions instead of a giant world to explore?
[/quote]
Because it isn't an open world game, though I agree some of the load times can be irritating in some areas.
[quote]
12. Why can't I bind keys to the last few buttons on the action bar?
[/quote]
Because you touch yourself at night.
[quote]
13. Why did I buy this game?
[/quote]
Because you had a sudden flash of good taste.

I've had some bugs with the epilogue and with Zevran and Shale dialogue options. I also know that there is a bug with Shale, where, if you go to speak with him in camp, it'll say something like "activatve golem/leave golem alone" and then all the environment graphics get corrupted and you have to reload the game.

Isn't there a memory leak on the pc or something that makes the load screens unusually long? Also your answer to 13 was pretty good :D
