Thoughts on Dragon Age: Origins?

Hi,

I wanted to solicit thoughts on Daragon Age.  I did not see it listed on this site but I did see some positive posts in other threads.

    Its not listed because its not an MMO...its a single player RPG (a mighty damn good one).   Anyone that proclaims it linear should be beaten with a stick since they don't tell you where to go and when ... and I learned the hardway that if you go to Redcliff Village...don't leave until you fight off the horde rofl.

    i was wondering the same thing how people can say its linear. Theres just so many different ways you can handle things and so many ways you can have it end its awesome.

    honestly its a great game. everything that oblivion failed at, is exactly what this game shined in. To not spoil a great game, I have been taking the game slow and trying to play it at an even pace. Whenever I'm bored with whatever MMO I am playing (which is usually a lot), I go ahead and play some dragon age. Sure I can easily beat it in 2-3 days if I play nonstop, but I choose not to, because quite frankly, there aren't a lot of RPGs for the PS3, so I'm just taking it easy until the next big rpg comes in. Can't wait for FFXIII to come out in march, it will be a fantastic day for ps3 worldwide. Demon's soul's is the next game I am going to play after I beat dragon age.

    It's a Bioware single player RPG, so if you have ever played Baldur's gate, Icewind Dale, NeverWinter Nights then you know what you are getting into. Of course it is good, however, playing it really made me realize how much better Neverwinter Nights 1 is. I went out and bought NWN after playing Dragon Age and have enjoyed it much more than Dragon Age.  Partly because of the true AD&D system, which has so many more options, and the other part is I just thought the story was better in the NWN games.

    I think it got hyped up so much because it has been so long since that type of fantasy RPG has been released by Bioware. I think it was very overraated though. Especially when you consider there is no multiplayer option to the game, no player made content, no toolset... just the single player official campaign.  It doesn't match up to previous releases of the same genre.

    I have had to re-roll a few times on it trying to find the right combo of group members. I am really enjoying the game can be really funny at times. I was walking throu town the other day and stopped to go afk for a coke came back and could hear 2 of my party members bickering back and forth. Down load the patch for it if you own it makes easy mode a bit easier,can get really hairy at times but overall a good game. I would rate it 8/10 on score.

    Thanks for the comments.  EA games has this for 30% off if downloaded.  So, in an hour I should have the game...
