Shale is one of the greatest team mates of all time
I restarted just to see another opening. Human mage lady.
Magic is smurfing awesome in this game.
I have an Elf Mage but I might start over as a Dwarf Commoner Rogue because I missed the ability to become a Blood Mage. Or I might just suck it up, make another mage and unlock it on that character. I don't knoooooow.
I do want a dwarf rogue though because they are amazing.
Dwarf commoner origin is my favourite.
I'm totally addicted to this game. I was excited to recently find that a healthy amount of mods have already been released for the game by users. I've already morphed Morrgian and Leliana into better looking versions of themselves, closer to the appearance from the Sacred Ashes trailer. Plus, there's already a mod for adding additional shape shifting forms. :D
First time through, I played the male human warrior. Second time through, I'm playing as a female elven rogue. It's been fun so far. I'm really glad that Bioware didn't include a good/evil type gauge in this game. It seems like the choices you make are similar to The Witcher where it's more about the consequences of your actions rather than if they're good or evil.
Well it turns out that Dragon Age is inexplicably one of the very few 360 games which are region coded.
Which means I will not in fact be playing it at all over my nice long Christmas break in which I intended to spend a lot of time play Dragon Age because I had a nice long Christmas break.
:colbert:
That sucks. Looks like you have spend time with your girlfriend. Boohoo.Quote:

My only complaint about Dragon's Age is the lack of intelligence with the computer controlled characters. I enjoy exerting a certain amount of control over all of the characters but it is ridiculous how much hand-holding I have to do.
"Alistair, I want you to attack the big group of mobs right there, okay? No. What are you doing. Why are you attacking a wall. Stop talking to the barrel. What the hell Alistair you're going the wrong way! No! Monster! MONSTER! Thanks you asshole, now Morrigan is dead."
I never really had my characters act too dumb. I just made sure I took advantage of the tactics menu and they do a pretty good job of protecting each other.
hmm I got this baby for christmas I'm loving it :D
Is it worth bothering with it on the 360? Or should I just spend a billion million pounds getting a new PC? ;)
New PC will be useful in the long run at least.
Honestly, I have no idea how the game would run on the 360. I just don't see it running as smoothly on a console as it does on the PC without severe changes. I'd just get a new PC and get DA and Borderlands. <3Quote:

No you can use all your spells on the ps3/360 the simple soloution to this is to set the radial menu to toggle instead of hold, holding the button gets tiresome and if your finger slips oops wrong action, toggling removes the hurried hassle of selecting the wrong spell/item/action you just take some time (however much you need) cue the action and then press the radial menu button once and away we go.
On 360 I have to say, the game looks beautiful and runs smoothly, I've seen instances of texture lagging on rare occassion when a lot is going on (admittedly this was during the military camp in Ostagar at the start of the game (it's not really a spoiler since EVERY character, regardless of background goes there) The lag was caused by me running round the camp as a lunatic to approach the dog warden he didn't appear even though his axe and shield hung in mid air and I could talk to him, I waited like a second or two and he appeared so no biggy, seen much worse happen in Fallout 3 and Oblivion on PC, PS3 and 360 so I aint too fussed over my ability to texture lag the game) The only other thing I'm not sure if it exists on the pc due to the fact that the paging files and resources available generally outstrip the consoles in any case is that area's tend to have a mini load session to make sure the area you are about to enter displays perfectly rather than how some games end up with major clipping because you progressed faster than the cache could handle thpugh for pc I guess this is dependent on the machine in question not the game.
