Dragon Age is pure win, and I will be pre-ordering TOR along with probably a couple other hundred thousand folk.
That said, this is clearly just a troll thread. You're making baseless claims, the game is epic and you know it.
Also;
lol @ "MMO is about 100 times more complex then a single player".
How do you figure? Repeating the same mindless quests over and over is hardly anything more taxing than creating a beautiful story with extensive lore.
Playing: *sigh* back to WoW -------- Waiting for: SW:TOR, APB, WoD --------- Played and loved: Eve and WoW -------- Played and hated: WoW:WotLK, Warhammer, every single F2P
I've been playing Dragon Age a lot lately, and I really do love the game. But in the defense of the OP, the game does have issues. Anyone trying to play a rogue knows, they really botched dex based weapons, including bows, having str as their modifier when the weapons and stats clear SAY dex affects them. This is a simple fix but there has been no patch for it yet.
Another problem is the lack of information about patches. There was a patch on the 6th, yet it said this nowhere on the site. Only in the forums could you learn about this, and then it was only in the problems the new patch brought.
Its a lil buggy... people have found a glitch allowing you to boost your stats to incredible levels, I choose not to as it would make the game too easy.
Also the class balance is all messed up. Mages are super overpowered, rogues not so much. Being its a single player game, this isnt really too much of an issue, but as the OP said, if this were an MMO, it would be a REALLY big problem...
Again, I love this game, dont mean to troll it. I'm just defending the OP and stating the issues the game has. It seems like his crucifixion is not warranted. People need to realize there is some truth in his post. Fanbois need to take their blinders off and see the reality.
I had a little bit of a hassle because the game didn't recognise physX.dll on my driver (while I did have the latest one installed), took me about 20 minutes to solve, nothing drastic.
Tech forum did a good job imo.
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!
After the mess of the Dragon Age launch, does anyone REALLY have any faith in them smooth launching a MMO? Really? Honestly? I mean, a MMO is about 100 times more complex then a single player and they can;t even get that right. Not to mention the audiences are a LOT less forgiving in a single player... From what I have seen here theres no way I would be pre ordering SWtOR.... and thats coming from a long time buyer of Bioware games. Definitly one to wait and watch what happens I think.
Lets not even start to talk about Bioware/ EA's love of 'additional' content and whatever via RMT...
I think its safe to say you shot yourself in the face with a big cannon loaded with a bunch of you don't know what you're talking about.

Not sure what your smoking but 've had 0 problems with Dragon Age. I'd even say its amoung my fav rpgs to date.

Play that for someone else. I didn't even buy the game, and it was not for a few hours AND it was officially acknowledged as a problem. It was not a smooth release. Fanboyism doesn't change that fact.
Lol you're trolling the tech support forums of a game you don't have? Seriously?
You're right I shouldn't be playing a violin for you.
You should be playing a violin for us, out on the streets, to make a couple of coppers a day. It'd be a better use of your time.

When it comes to pc games some people just have issues. I myself havent had any problems with dragon age
Sic semper tyrannis "Democracy broke down, not when the Union ceased to be agreeable to all its constituent States, but when it was upheld, like any other Empire, by force of arms."
In 60+ hours of playing Dragon Age I had *one* crash to desktop. I can live with that ;P. The game is amazing, and if anything it fills me with hope for future Bioware projects.
Seeing as the general opinion seems to mirror my own - big fail at trolling ;D.
The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
I've had no problems getting or playing Dragon Age so I have no idea what you're talking about. My husband had a glitch once where it froze but thats all. We've been playing since the day after it was released (LOVE this game. We're switching off. I get the xbox today since he had it all yesterday. ).
Frankly, Dragon Age is the most fun I've had in a game since Mass Effect and KOTOR 1 and 2 before that. Its an excellent game.
As for nail a single player, what the hell are you talking about? This game is turning into almost exactly what I want in an MMO.
Don't know how you can say that, I'm really enjoying Dragon age and personally think its an awesome game, gets me even more excited for swtor knowing they can produce a game like this.

You need to learn what a troll is. I have a limited amount of time and finite amount of resources so I watch the releases of some games that I might buy in the future. I really don't need your permission to do that. I have also purchased several Bioware games in the past, and Bioware was only one forum that had this issues. Impulse, Steam, Reclaim your game, Gamefaqs are just a handful of places the report this issue. Nice try though kid.
parrotpholk-Because we all know the miracle patch fairy shows up the night before release and sprinkles magic dust on the server to make it allllll better.

Don't know what troubles your referring too, the BioWare/EA BETA website gave me a bit of trouble when I tried to register my account, but 10 minutes of persistent effort paid off. You never stated what the problem is still so I have no clue, but it was smooth sailing for me. I imagine that the launch Dragon Age was a stress test of BioWare/EA website + accounts. I fully trust BioWare because, 1) Canadian based company, 2) KOTOR, 3) Dragon Age.
If you don't like it that's fine, but the launch was nowhere near anything like that of an MMOs. People bitch all the time but that is because they have no clue how to use a computer or read system requirements.

Well if anyone actually took time to read what i said, I said that Dragon Age did not have a hassle free launch because it was not hassle free for a number of people. I never called it a failed launch. I even said that I didn't think the Dragon Age's release was any indication of how Bioware would do with an MMO release either. But hey, apparently the only way people can discuss anything these days is to lable anyone they disagree with on any level a troll, and make a ridiculous claim that the only people "allowed" to follow a release, it's not even a launch really, are the one's that pre-ordered the game. I am interested in SWTOR too, but hey I guess if i express any kind of reservation about the game at all that will cause some heads to explode.
As I said before, I didn't buy the game. I followed the release because I have an interest in the gaming industry as a whole, imagine that a gamer that pays attention to more than just the games they purchase, and i might buy it in the future. I also build my own machines and know every piece of hardware in it so I have no issues with reading system requirements either. A lot of people in Impulse do the same thing and they had trouble getting their DLC which was an acknowledged issue by Bioware and EA.
parrotpholk-Because we all know the miracle patch fairy shows up the night before release and sprinkles magic dust on the server to make it allllll better.
Yes Kotor series was not that bad for this decade of games. Not on the same level as say BG but alright none the less.
How does DA:O constitute as a RPG of this day when it's nothing more then a medieval Kotor variant. Like putting WoW graphics on Everquest. Same game you already paid for years before hand, just different looks.
When did you start playing "old school" MMO's. World Of Warcraft?
haha that was funny im almost done with dwarf and elf story and the only problem ive had i downloaded the patch and solved everything in an instant. bioware games are awesome and if they even get close to kotor series and their other games such as Mass effect the new mmo will be awesome. And among the mmorpg and mmo's out this date this Star wars mmo is going to kill every crappy mmo out-there and hopefully spark my trust in the Originality of mmorpgs
This voices.. This voices i hear them.. And when they talk i follow i follow..

Not one, single, solitary issue at all. I love DA:O as much as I've loved all of BioWares games ... and I'd preorder TOR right now if I could without a single second of hesitation.

What are you talking about? I got Dragon Age on the day of release and had a total of three BRIEF disconnects from the profile servers. And it didn't interrupt my gameplay. And I haven't had any problems since except for ONE time having that load screen memory leak issue. You complainers seriously need to get out more. I'm not saying this to be mean, I'm being completely serious and honest.
Go through the last 15 years of gaming and list 10 games that are 100% bug free. You can't do it, it's not possible. In my experience with Dragon Age I have noticed very few bugs, so when people just randomly complain about stuff and then they expect everyone to know what they're talking about it just boggles my mind.
It also boggles my mind how people complain about DA and within that same breathe say, 'I didn't like Mass Effect or KOTOR either'. Really? So you don't like Bioware-styled games, but for some reason you keep buying them. Well kudos to the Bioware marketing department.

DA has been nothing but spectacular for me. DA now ranks up there as one of my top favorite rpgs; if anything I'm now even more eager for SWTOR.
