I enjoyed it and felt I got my money's worth. It's an expansion, not a full game. I play on PC, value may be different on consoles where MS and Sony demand their share of the dosh.

You guys are crazy and cheap. How is this not worth $40 (bugs aside because I'm with people on those complaints)? I got close to 19 hours of playtime for one character, which is longer than nearly all games coming out today. Those are all $50 to 60, too. $10 is ludicrous when you think of the increasing costs to develop a game, especially one on three platforms. It's not the mid 90s anymore and games are only going to get more expensive so get used to it.

Pretty much worth it, yes. As an expansion, I'd give it an 89/100. In length, personally, it gave me almost half as much hours as my average Origins run... which means 12 hours :P

It's not a matter of being crazy OR cheap. I think if someone wasn't into getting to know their characters, if they just wanted to crawl the dungeon and saw the dialog as something they had to get through, they're just not going to understand the thinking of people who saw the character interaction as the main part of DAO.

There are a lot of games that cater to the former, very few that cater to the latter. If the DA franchise is going to start catering to the former, they're going to be competing with a lot more games than if they make another game with the same kind of interaction as DAO.

DAO was a particular type of game. DAA is a different type of game. It's a different feel, has a different emphasis. I loved DAO. I found DAA meh. I think DAO was worth the price of it AND DAA combined. But I will not be so quick to buy another game just because it says "Dragon Age."  I will find out first whether the emphasis is on combat or on interaction.  I will gladly pay $40, $50, $100 for a game like DA:O.  I don't think I'd really bother playing a game like DA:A.  I'd rather replay DAO or maybe pull out Fallout3 again.

I didn't think anyone played a Bethesda game for character interaction. I'd say my playthrough time proved I'm not in it just for dungeon crawling or viewed dialogue as a pest. I sank 65-70 hours in to DA:O alone and another 19 in DA:A. There was interaction but it was up to the player to activate it. Was it to the extent of Origins, of course not and you'd be a fool to think so. I have to vehemently disagree that Awakening had a different feel because it's Dragon Age through and through.

Calling for this to be $10 to 20 is being cheap. Sure, I'd love to pay that little but let's be realistic here.

ok fine you want to know why the story is pretty pathetic?

The keep idea has been done before. i actually enjoy the thoughts of having something like it but it is so poorly implemented in this game.

basically i expect more in general from this game. this seemed more of an attempt as a hack n slash rpg then the crpg it is supposed to be. i had no attachment to any of my companions and you couldn't interact with them outside of the keep really.(not counting the few dialog spots on the map)

Yeah, you can finally get some respect from a title, or if you played human noble orgins even more respect. The replay value is good spend least ten hours on this game..

WHY are you not buying this game yet?

WHY?


Hear hear.

It's been done? Everything about every Bioware game has been done before. Whether in their own games or other games or books or movies or TV, etc.



"basically i expect more in general from this game"



Yeah, that right there. You, and other people, expected too much. You can't please everyone.

I expected enough interaction to start to care for my companions. Not to have in-depth relationships, but to care at least a bit. Heh, most of the "bonding" with your first tank happened at the trailer, not in the game. A small bit of backstory when clicking on her would be nice (a la Jory and Daveth).



Different people like different things. But DAA did not have nearly the same feeling as DAO did for people like me. It was the friendships formed that gave DAO the feelings for me. I brought up FO3 because that game felt just as lonely, but it was MEANT to feel lonely!

I think it's worth it. I'll be importing at least 3 characters and playing the Orlesian, so at 10 hours of play each (and I played longer), that's 40 hours. My SO is playing at least 3, and at 10 hours of play each (he's taking longer, also), that's 30 hours. So 70 hours of play for a 40 dollar game. (Which he got for free through a rewards program). Not bad. I'd pay that much again.



Good play, you don't need relationships to make a good game, IMO.
