Dragon Age impressions

[redbeardjim]

Well, I got the chance to play Dragon Age: Origins at my brother-in-law's place over the weekend, and I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, it's very well-put-together, and I like the controls and combat system

I <3 Dragon Age.

They set it up so that you know where they are on multiple playthroughs. And most of the time, people play at least twice. (And you have a rogue in the Korcari Wilds. It's Daveth.)

It has a learning curve.

If your crapsack place was the only home you knew, wouldn't you want to protect it?

I might love this game too much to post an opinion that isn't biased.

Yeah, I know Daveth was a rogue. But when I made him active and tried to open the chests, I got "Insufficient Skill", and when I checked his character info he didn't have the "Deft Hands" talent trained, which I gather is the "Pick Locks" equivalent. So he was kind of useless as a rogue.

He's a redshirt anyway.

I missed a ton of chests in the noble orign story the first time because I wasn't a rogue. For next time. :)

It gets better :) One of my all time favs. I'll leave it at that 'cause I'd likely be echoing what's already been said.

Happy birthday! Hope it was a good one!
