Le shrug.

OP made some good points but went over the top with tone and hyperbole, much reducing the chance for meaningful discussion.

Obviously if "action" and "speed" are your most wanted features, this game will disappoint, and indeed by those criteria The Witcher is superior. Use of the term "ammunition" might be anachronistic - I wouldn't know without looking up its etymology, something which I don't think the OP did. Is the swamp in the game world unlike the books, or is it that the books are unlike the game world? The issue of voiceovers is more complex than just "add a disc". A lot of this could be discussed reasonably, but not with someone who sounds like they're throwing their toys out of the pram, carrycot, or portable baby-bucket/carseat.

haha, I suppose I could have wrote my original post more civilized but at least you noticed I had good points.  As for Korcari Wilds, the first book came out March 2009.  The original description of it is very different from the game.

look you are intitled to the game but at least try come off in a better manner then "dragon age SUCKSS!!!!" because,with all do respect. thats just going to make sound like an ass.

I'll give you one thing the human noble origin does seem short but I honestly like that, it's nice to be able to jump into the main story relativily quickly (and with dog no doubt), although I do love how much time bioware took making the mage origin (it is also my favorite so far).

Well, I respect your response.  It's the first civilized response here.  As for the title, I did that mainly to try and catch a game designer's attention.  If they read these threads or not, I don't know.  But my hope is they read it and consider something I wrote.

well, there are some people out there that see  your opinion as well a opinion and are not going to  (ironicly) troll you for it.

I'm rather impressed that he was able to type such a long post, pointless as it may be, without eating his keyboard. 

Yes, the results of his work may be annoying and worthless, but he is making such great progress. With some more patiance and traning he may be able to support himself someday. Then I think we'll see his selfconfidince grow to the point he doesn't feel like he has to lash out at everything that frustrates him.

ROFLMFAO

That was priceless.

I think the game is just fine, if you do not like it, stop playing it, and stop whining about it.
Simple no?

Projectile weapons use ammunition: arrows (for bows), bolts (for crossbows), or sling bullets (for slings).

When I buy arrows for my bow, they are listed as ammunition, so I fail to see how that is out of place.
I also fail to see whats wrong with getting called pup.
The human noble area lasted me around 1 hour.

The combat is fine, I  suspose that dumbed down MMOS like wow are your thing though, from the way you post about how its oh so hard to push buttons at the right time,
And yes I have played Wow,  warhammer, SWG, EQ-EQ2 and a few others.

The combat is fine, skill trees are fine, classes are fine and the story is great.

This message comes form a 23 year old, with a new F-150, a Long bow, a suit of chain, and lots of other nifty things.

Yea, I know now I should have kept the arms on, but I have spuladers that I plan on attaching by a rigging of leather, and some vambraces that are not in the picture there.

You don't get it, "Ammunition" is a modern word.  It didn't exist in any language 2,000 years ago.  Television did not exist 3,000 years ago.  Some words are newly created as inventions are created.  Ammunition does NOT around this time.

Actually ammunition existed in a different word hundreds of years ago, usage of that word in this age and time, no one would understand. stop being a troll get over your pathetic non issues.

Getting philosophical now?  Isn't everything in life pointless?  No, you probably would be too frightened to take a nihilistic position in life.  You want to believe, desperately, that existence is an inter-woven charade of intellectual meaning that is beyond subjectivity.  You may write like a nihilist now in this forum, saying what I wrote is worthless, but when it comes to reality you're very much the egotistical parasite that yearns for self-confidence.  You, my dear friend, have simply defined yourself.

Your complete inability to grasp meaning out of context is astounding. Go count Cheerios or something before you hurt yourself.

Funnily enough, this is not the first time the net has shown me a person of above average intelligence, a self-described 'critical thinker', who thinks they are so far past ignorance that they fail to be critical of themselves. All our paths are strewn with banana skins.

Actually, you don't get it.  As Irrumare correctly implied, the word is quite old.  (First use was around 1620.)  But...  What I don't get is why you would have a problem with it, even if you were remotely close to being correct about the word itself.

First, the game is clearly not set in any time period which existed on our Earth.  Dragons?  Elves?  It's a fantasy world, not medieval history.  Second, you wouldn't understand the spoken (or written) dialog if it was historically accurate.  Your lack of knowledge about the origin and usage of the word "ammunition" prevents me from giving you credit for the ability to understand a 2000 year old version of English - or any other language, really.  Even if you did possess such a remarkable talent, the game would be hard to sell to the rest of the population if only a handful of scholars could dechiper the dialog.  (The 2000 years is your figure, not mine.  I have no idea where you came up with it.)

If you don't enjoy the game, that's fine, but this particular complaint makes no sense at all.

Could you imagine a Shakespearean DA:O?  Or Chaucerian?  LMAO

[Taritu]

Doesn't sound like you played much of the game. Even in the intro I had three special moves on my warrior and the same on my rogue. The intro battles are easy, yes. So? It's the intro. If you want harder, increase the difficulty setting. The tower battles, on normal, included a couple tough ones if you just charge in.



In any case, it sounds like you aren't the sort of person who would appreciate a game like Dragon Age. It's not for people who want to be playing a diablo clone.

The combat is the most horrendous aspect of this game.  MMOs have better action and this is a single-player game that's not even online with lag.  Did you make combat so 5 year olds could play?[/quote]

Huh? No lag for me here on my hardware. I'm still getting used to the A.I. options, but the only thing I really miss is the Tab-targetting.

[quote]Our character stands there waving a sword extremely slow...I'm going to fall asleep.  And there are NO attacks for a warrior.  I should already have at least 3 different attacks with a 2 handed sword.[/quote]

What talents did you choose?

[quote]And when we decapitate someone their head vanishes...what kind of crap is that?  Even The Witcher, more than 2 years old, shows their heads fly off and stay on the ground.[/quote]

I guess you care more about that than I do, especially since I play a Mage.

[quote]Korcari Wilds?  You need to rename it Korcari Swamp...it's NOTHING like how its described in the books.  Everything is out in the open, there's no way a Dalish Elf can hide.  The books, especially the first (The Stolen Throne) describes it as a wild jungle.  Not a wetland...[/quote]

Your knowledge of geography is poor. What do you think forests look like near water sources? Ever been to Oregon? Plus, are you absolutely positive you explored the ENTIRE Korcari Wilds? I doubt it.

[quyote]Also, the combat music in the Korcari Wilds is horrible.  It worked in DA Journeys
because we're inside Deep Roads and it goes well for that, but not outside in a
wilderness.  Perhaps its time you hired a real musician like, let me
see, Jeremy Soule? [/quote]

Yes, you disliked one section of background music so obviously the composer must be fired. Just turn it off. Even John Williams screws up sometimes.

[quote]Another thing while I'm at it is the beginning for a human noble, it's extremely rushed.  There's hardly any time to enjoy that life and grow with the characters there, so by the next 10 minutes when almost everyone is dead you don't really feel any emotion.  We couldn't even escape, it just loads and automatically to the next town.[/quote]

Haven't played it.

[quote]Oh...and why is the father calling us pup?  We're not a DOG...we already have a dog on our party.  Please redo those ridiculous lines and have him say "SON".[/quote]

"Young pup" is an acceptable reference for any young person.

[quote]And I'm not sorry to say this but you're extremely lazy not to get voices for the characters.[/quote]

Wait... wait wait wait.. You'll complain about the poor background music in one specific area, but don't see the disastrous immersion qualities of main-character voice-acting? This must be a joke.

They weren't lazy, they were fiscally responsible.

[quote]  If your excuse is how much space it takes up then all you needed was a 2nd or 3rd disc to put all the voices in. [/quote]

That was never the reason. If the PC had voice overs, the game would be half as long. 

[quote]Everyone speaks except for us?  It doesn't kill your dialogues, but it takes away from how better it could have been.[/quote]

Yup, just like it did in BGII.

[quote]Lastly, character creation.  What happened to a normal beard?  Why is it you only have beards that make humans look like some dwarf.  Fine, keep the santa clause beards but I'd like a beard similar to Duncan.  A NORMAL BEARD.[/quote]

Actually, I was kind of curious myself. The beards seemed a bit off in their selection.

[quote]I've only started this, I have not even completed the quest for the Joining.  And already I am disappointed with the game.  You have a lot of work to do.
[/quote]

Some people will complain about anything.

I'm loving it already, and my only complaints so-far have been the lack of Tab-targetting and the fact that I can only bring 3 awesome characters with me instead of the 5 I'd really like (I'm trying to mold Morrigan to be my healer, it's kind of funny).

no...YOU DON'T GET IT ~.~

first of all, if you gonna go with the hisory argument, don't exaggerate it to 2,000 - 3,000 years,
the game is set in a medieval theme period, and im pretty sure they used "ammunition" back then, you just don't hear it ~.~

rather, i think AMMO is a modern word because ppl are lazy to say the entire word like the ppl of back-then times

I don't think you get it.   Ammuninition did exist at the time as arrows and bolts are considered ammuninition.    Not to mention while it's a fantasy settings it is one that Bioware made themselves and they might actually use words like we do today.  

Overall your complaints to me sound like you got forced to play this game and never wanted to play it. 

[Shauk]

wait so, in a game with magic, shape shifting, demons with hella nice racks, and dragons, we're worried about the realistic use of the word "Ammunition"

Take your stupid comic book store Simpsons character and get out, don't come back.either.

You have to be a troll.  Nobody could possibly be this stupid.  In the event that you ARE, though, let me clue you in: The entire English language as you know it did not exist 2000 years ago, either.  You may as well be crying about the fact that the game isn't written in Sumerian.
