Dragon Age 2 arrived! It runs a bit like crap on my mac, graphics-wise, and sometimes my mouse bugs out during combat, but now I finally have a game to play at uni! I'm really loving the story and it looks like my VA fears were all restricted to the demo. I loved seeing all the little differences from the demo, actually, and I'm really getting into

Oh, Bethany... what interesting hair you have there. I'm playing as default ladyhawke and I LOVE HER.

Ngl, changing from default!Hawke was kind of a wrench. But I had my heart set on introducing some more POCs to Kirkwall, even if some of them do have horrific bowlcuts as a result.

Ooh, so the Dragon Age games can be played on computers? Because I am separated from the family XBox 360 eight months out of the year, and have always been slightly bitter about not having such easy opportunities to play Dragon Age and Mass Effect as everyone else. But then again the computer I do have with me is a laptop, so maybe it will not be very good either. IDK, I JUST WANT TO PLAY MORE GAMES BY THE PEOPLE WHO MADE KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC. ;_;

Both Mass Effect and Dragon Age can indeed be played on PCs! I can't speak for the rest of the games, but DA2 runs pretty okay on my macbook as long as I'm not too hung up on graphics, and honestly I'll put up with a LOT for a university Bioware fix- that company owns my SOUL. They have the systems specs for the games up on their site if you want to check it out.

I played Mass Effect and Dragon Age on my laptop and, while it looked rather terrible (nothing looks good when you've dialled it down to 800x600 resolution)... at least I could play it! Bioware games with crappy graphics is better than no Bioware games!

Can You Run It is pretty good for determining if your machine is good enough to play a game on. It won't necessarily be pretty even if they give your machine a pass, but it'll run.

My copy of DA2 is on my desk, taunting me, because my new monitor isn't here yet and thus I cannot use my awesome new desktop. *cries*

[thewaterbandit]

You have my sympathy! I'll try not to spam DA2 posts *too* much...

Haha! It is exactly that haircut, only black! It's kind of adorkable, actually, and it is growing on me. I'm slightly overprotective of my little mage sis.
