I'm just curious how people are going to play the game:

 

1) Get the guide

2) Play blind and go with whatever you want

3) Follow a online walkthrough and/or wiki: I realize this one will be difficult since it's a new game but I have feeling it won't be long before they go up.

4) A mixture

 

Me I would like the guide but I can't afford it. Not with all the games coming out. I think I'll just go with my instincts for my first playthrough. Unless I get really stuck. Then I might look something up.  :P

 

And I'm sorry if this is  repeat thread :unsure:  There's just so many of them.

Play Blind. Get the guide, you lose the surprise.

First playthrough is always blind for me. Second one however is usually meta-gamed to all hell. :S

Mostly blind, but because I am attracted to spoilers like a kitten is to fuzzy, dangly things I have a feeling it won't be totally blind.

 

I have no willpower.

Blind every time. I love looking back at all of the Origins mistakes I made on my first play-through, I hope to do the same with Inquisition in a few years. I don't think the guides are ever really worth the price anyway!

it depends on how much the guide costs, but i will probably buy the guide when i go to pick up my copy of the game. i didn't get the guide for dragonage origins (if there was one) but i got the guide for dragonage 2 and i was not disappointed :)

Play blind then use the wiki. Because I can save money that way.

Play blind. I like to only use guides if I get stuck on something and can't figure it out, on my own. Discovery is a lot of the fun for me.

Mostly blind.  If there's something I'm really, truly, tried-everything-and-still-can't-get-it stuck on, i might pop over to google or a guide or something, but other than that I like to take first playthroughs completely on my own.

I like to use the guide to look at the skill trees and races to decide what my first character will be.  Then I play blind until I get stuck!

Mixture of playing blind and using online guide. In games like DA there is no need of walkthroughs (I use them with older Final Fantasy and Zelda games :blush: ) but I use online guides for builds, item sets, romances etc. With DAI I will first play quite blindly, I will probaply fail a lot XD

I doubt the game will be hard enough to require a guide.  But if one does get stuck there is always this forum or google.

Blind, and if there's something you really can't decide without some help, the Internet is less expensive than a guide. :P

Playing blind. The only thing I know right now is who the LIs are available to, Hawke will show up, and classes I can play along with specializations.  Everything else is a surprise. I don't even watch the streams of it.

I'm also someone who has no willpower when it comes to avoid spoilers (it's going to be hard to keep myself away from here and other places when the time comes), and since this is the first Bioware game to come out since I got into their games, it's also my first chance to play one blindly. I'm definitely going to try to make the most of that.

The first play through will be blind. I don't have that much money lying around to spend on a guide and as big as this game is ... I imagine the guide will be fairly pricey.

 

I'll start looking for the little things I miss after that first time out.

 

But if I start trying to metagame from the start, I'll miss out on fun things like when I arranged to be queen with one Warden, didn't do the Dark Bargain, and took Alistair to the top of the tower where he promptly sacrificed himself even though I was planning to do it. I didn't know he would always take the blow if he was there and there was no way to stop him except to leave him behind. It was so much more raw when I didn't know it was going to happen that way because it couldn't happen any other way. I thought it would be my choice which would die.

That's me too.  Every time someone posts a stream or some new information here on the forums, I'm all over it.  I'll try my best to avoid the forums after the game comes out until I finish it because I wouldn't want it to be completely spoiled.  It's just that I've been gobbling up anything I can on DA: I until it comes out.  I really want to play it already :P

First play-through should always be blind, what's the point otherwise? You lose all sense of immersion in my opinion.

Well someone people prefer to plan it out, that's fine by me. Not any less valid, just not how I roll.

Some people like to plan things to the last detail on their first run through. It may not be how you do it, but it doesn't make them wrong for enjoying it in a different manner to you.

 

I'm currently doing my 7th run through of Origins and I've planned it all out, I'm not losing any sense of immersion from it. In fact I'm finding more enjoyable to see all my planning pan out.
