I purchased the Xbox360 version. Holy crap what a big  mistake that was. The game itself seems pretty sweet so far but the graphics look dated. I showed the game to a friend last night and he said it looked like an RPG from 6 years ago.

I also had interface issues where I had to restart the console.

Anyways, I am returning it to EA for a full refund and I am getting the PC version. So my only problem with this game is that they made it for the consoles. Baldur's gate was a PC only game and if they are calling this game Baldur's Gates's successor then it should have stayed pc ONLY.

Cant't you fanboys and girls understand some people simply expected a little more from a game that calls itself the spiritual successor of BG?

You know what? I think this game is a lot BETTER than Baldur's Gate. There, I said it. Oh no, what now?

Have you even played Baldur's Gate. I like Dragon Age so far, but it is definately not better. There is a certain atmosphere that Baldur's Gate has that Dragon Age doesn't.

I like how a level 2 person is giving a review on the game!

[Blackstream]

I've played all of the baldur's gates, and this game thus far definately plays and feels like a successor. I'm definately enjoying this game. Yeah BG had something special about it that this game won't touch, but I also think DA has it's own brand of special that BG can't touch. Either way, I'm getting exactly the game I expected. A linear plot that at various points lets me run around freely and complete quests how I want and do various sidequests how I will, and incredible character interaction

I like dragons.

I agree, dragons are in fact, pretty cool.

If only the real world had them then we would have less whining and more screaming.

Yea, I'm only level 8 so far and my head is swimming with the awesomeness that is this game. I haven't spent eight hours playing a singleplayer RPG since... Final Fantasy 7 or 8 maybe? I'd have to say, nice job guys.

[vomkrieg]

I disagree OP, while the game is linear I believe it helps the story in many ways. KotOR would have probably sucked as a open world rpg.

[Broloc]

why do people keep complaining about the graphics? I find them to be quite pretty and suitable to this type of game.

[Trelow-LMG]

BioWare writes stories. Stories by definition have to be linear. BioWare's games are thus linear.



If you want a big sandbox, grab a Bethesda game. If you want writing and dialogue, grab a BioWare game.



Note: I know other people makes games, these two just happen to be the best in the industry at their respective sides of the coin.

I am very dissapointed with this game.
There is really nothing special about
it. Its very typical of the new style of so called RPG's that have
been coming on to the market in recent years such as Jason and the
Argonauts, The Witcher and many others. Dragon Age is just another one of those with
different clothing.

The extreme linear nature of these
games make them more of an interactive action movie where you simply
fight in between cut scenes. If you like this type of
game/interactive movie then fantastic, to me they are far too
restrictive, tedious and boring and obviously made to be easilly
developped/distributed across all platforms. What happened to the
good old days where a game made for PC utilised almost all the keys
on your keyboard. I suppose its a sign of the times and I don't like
where the RPG genre is headed.

Combat and skills could have been
lifted straight from many other games and the graphics, audio and
controls are good but nothing special.

But the main gripe I have whith Dragon
Age is the hatefull INVISABLE WALL !!!!


When I play a RPG in a 3D world, the
last thing I want to see is my character doing the running man when
attempting to go into a body of water or move towards the edge of a
cliff. In a RPG you should be able to swim across the lake and take
on the marine beasties if any lie within or if foolish or daring
enough to climb or traverse the cliff and fall and die if you make a
mistake. None of this is very difficult either as swimming, climbing,
falling etc etc have been around for a long long time.

I really was bleeding tears in
anticipation for this game which I suppose makes the dissapoinment
even harder to take.

Here in Australia I paid $109.95 for
the standard box (new releases are typically around $89.95). I would have paid the $129.95 for the deluxe model
if there were any left. Not only am I glad I didn't, but I will be
taking this game back to the distributor and hopefully they'll allow
me exchange it for the two expansions to Oblivion that I haven't
played yet.

Before you start on me, I am no troll I
just wanted to vent my dissapointment somewhere and I'm positive I'm
not the only person that is very dissapointed with Dragon Age.

If u feel the need to cry about everythign don't post. We don't care, majority of the ppl on here love this brilliant game in its entirety so go cry some where else kid.These posts are getting so old, if u don't like it don't cry just go return or sell it...problem solved.

[Krigux]

I love all kinds of games and gamestyles, all from the retro stage of pac man and donky kong, to more of the funcoms age of conan, and back to this new beuty dragon age. It's more like food to me, some times i enjoy fruit, somtimes pizza, and another day a 4 meal dinner, with desert. Eather it works, or not, this game definetly works..



My english suxor, so just dont think gramma her plz

They might be part of that group that thinks that every new game needs to be pusing the graphical limits of the day for a game to be good. Honestly graphics fall somewhere around number 4 or 5 on the list of things that make me enjoy a game.

Exactly, Leave the grown up games to the grown ups!

I really hope game developers, and especially Bioware, are not going to
change the way they create amazing games just because people want to
drown themselves or jump off a cliff to their death...

The only people who can really be disappointed with this game are those unfamiliar with classic RPGs and Biowares older titles.
You know, those guys who think of themselves as RPG veterans because they played WoW, Oblivion and Fallout 3 and expected Dragon Age to be Borderlands with swords, magic and dismembered limbs.

Well said, and I agree.

[MightySword]

I don't know, once you open the world map the game is pretty open for a story driven game. I have a hard time pondering which quests and places I should do and go to. And dragon? They're in there. I have run into two dragons so far, neither I have the ball to take on ... yet.

I foind it amazing how one person be so negative about Dragon Age, then another love it.  I myslef think its one of the best games ever made!  I suppose each to his own apply here.  I think too many didnt read up on what this game was about.  I knew exaclt what i was getting myself into when i ordered the Colecto Edition.  My only complaint at this point is the flimsy map, but that has no bearing on the game itself.  I love the game so muc that im taking very slowy and stop often to read the codex or even stop to read the Game Guide I bought for more history.  Its an amazing immersive world and i look forward to Bioware and user created DLC!

[sevend7]

I have been waiting for this for years...i loved Baldurs Gate, icewind Dale and Planescape Torment and have been left hanging by games like oblivion, Fallout 3 (loved 1 and 2) and Divinity 2.



I hope this is the revival of a games where the story, epic struggle, real choices and interesting characters pull oyu in and leave you feeling like you get to play a part in this story.



I want more Lord of the Rings and less Transformers 2 in my games and to me this is a perfect example so far.

Well, there is no telling what level he really is.

My profile does in no way represent my present character as I can not log in (and therefore update my profile) in game as it breaks my DLC and hence my profile isn't updated.

Don't ask me why. Seemed to have worked fine to begin with (and no. Havent had time to read through all the fixes for the broken DLC)

Firstly I'd like to respond to the suggestion that my post may offended some people. I'm not going to appologise as that was not my intent nor do I think it reasonable that any emotionally mature person would find it offensive. If you have been offended I cannot help you.

To the person who asked if i had played past level 2, yes I have. I
just stopped logging on while playing as I didn't see the point once I

He's got a valid complaint. The game is somewhat linear. More so than Fallout 3 or Oblivion, but less so than Mass Effect. It is also not open world, though very few RPG's are. I'm sorry you don't like it, but if you played NWN or BG or Mass Effect, you should not have been expecting those things.

I suggest you hang with it though and see if you can still enjoy it despite those issues. I seem to enjoy it more the farther I get into it.

It is your post that has cinvinced me to give it another try. Thank you.

The problem here is forming an impression or opinion of the game in the first minutes/hours of gameplay. This game has been in development for 5? years or more. The depth of the game could be seen somewhat later. The Bio dev said linearity is only in first hours of gameplay. So give it a try and you may get lost in the DA world

As for me. I´m still waiting here in Spain for my Collector´s Edition.  (19th November)

I want it now !
