lol so I have been excited for this game since last year when I first heard of it :3 I love Bioware, such an amazing company. I never got into baulder's gate when it first came out, so never really took it for all it's beauty when I finally got to play it.

I swore to prevent that this time :3!

I preordered Dragon age and went to EB the day after it came out (internet lied to me) and the EB manager said this "Oh, you didn't come the day it came out so we sold your preorder to one of the employees of the store"

I WAS FURIOUS! You can ONLY get the collector's edition and extra special content through pre order and they bloody well SOLD my copy! They didn't call me, they didn't notify me...i'm still debating whether to speak to the owner of that EB and tell them how their employees messed up.

Whats worse is it's the same guy who said he'd punch my roommate in the face >.> Manager's at EB where i live = pathetic.

(situation with my roommate went like this:
Chris: so how much would you give me for my broken ps3 60 gb, i heard you guys were purchasing those?
Manager: I would punch you in the face, seriously. *said in the most monotone voice ever with no even HINT of sarcasim even if it was sarcastic, you never EVER say that to someone you don't know!)

Anywhoozles, i decided to go buy a normal pc copy from Walmart. F you EB, i'm so sick of that store.

And it's amazing! i play it whenever i get a free moment from school to unwind a bit and really see how Bioware made this game <3 i know exactly how they made their characters and i want to do the same!




Well in dragon age a lot like mass effect you can choose your character and their personality through a series of options given in every conversation. You can also choose who you'd like to have a romance with...

I fell in love with Alistar's sarcastic nature and goofy charm. He's just too cute! Probably because a lot of which he says reminds me of Ryan <3

I really like Alistar for a number of reasons, but some lines went like this you may find amusing (keep in mind i chose to say these back too him) (spoilers for some lines he says after getting him higher, skip if you don't wana know XD)

Alistar: Fine, but if he orders me to wear a dress and dance around I won't do it!
Me: i'd love to see that.
Alistar: For you, maybe. but it'd have to be a pretty dress. (you only get this response if alistar is at least +15 with you)

Alistar: you know they'll talk, they do that.
Me: One smart comment and i'm feeding them to the darkspawn.
Alistar: See? This is why i love you!

Me: So is that it?
Alistar: Besides being a lover of fine cheeses and having a miner obsession with my hair, yes.




He's just so goofy! I wonder if i'll get a decent ending with him though... he hates mages and elves...and well, I'm an Elf mage but he's already at 100% adore for me right now so hopefully!

i'm about half way through the game now. It's a lot of fun! I did accidently put to death one of my potential party members though >.< i completely didn't know! I refuse to spoil this game at all, and i just play it how i see it.

It's so much fun! For anyone who loves rpg's you must get this game. The fact that you can pair up with who you want, is refreshing and it's not all that hard of a game as long as you play on easy or normal.

Also pretty pretty environments for anyone who's thinking of game design <3 mimic dragon age design and you'll be set really!

Seriously, this is the first game this year that i L.O.V.E. that's not Dissidia lol. like absolutely unconditionally, love this game.

Why I think Dragon Age did better then the others I liked this year, Resident Evil 5, Star ocean 4

I liked RE5
I liked SO4
I loved Dragon age

why?

RE5 was nice and fun but exactly like RE4 and annoying to play solo

SO4 had the ability to choose who you're with and everything and over all was a great game (which i still haven't beaten) BUT I DO NOT LIKE how the game defaults pairings...and how even if you love a different character, your main still shows affection in story line conversation for the canon pairing. I don't like that. If you're going to have customizable pairings, you should have customizable loves from the GET go. If you're leaving the pairings up to the player, then don't have it canon in the storyline.
I also didn't like the massive spec map they used on EVERYTHING making it ridiculously shiny. It really hurt my eyes and was confusing where to go at some points because you couldn't see anything x.x
But it was still a very fun game, which i look forward to beating.

I loved Dragon age for it's customizable class and person from the get go (male or female, race, class and looks) and how the story changes depending on what you choose, how your personality is when you answer questions, and who you start to love. Given, you can only pair up with a few people, but implementing that idea with changeable endings to makes it worth while. Mass Effect didn't really do that so it's a step up.
Battle system is strong and being able to pause in battle is very nice. Makes it easier to control your characters.
Plot line is solid and entertaining, but also emotional. You'll be pulled in.
Sex scenes and romancing scenes are a nice change of pace from killing things.
Player interaction is a lot of fun

Some cons; player tactics are bogus and limited and your characters can act stupid in battle sometimes
Sten just never likes you. it's so hard to please that guy!
Some of the mouths do weird things while the characters speak.
same problem with mass effect and oblivion; customizable character means they'll put those in game too and it sometimes makes the characters look repetitive (ie: the hermit, first enchanter look the exact same. both main characters)

but i love it, i truly do. it's just...nice.

i hope you all consider getting it!
