Dragon Age: Origins had the most boring dialogue I've ever seen in a video game. Having restarted certain sections, I also uncovered the ugly truth that 'player choice' was pretty much an illusion for the most part in the conversations. At first I was glad I had waited until I had a gaming PC to play the game, but then I learned the PC version's difficulty is ramped up. On many occasions, I was micromanaging the hell out of my characters just to scrape by and win battles I had lost countless times before. It just wasn't worth it; what's the payoff putting all this effort into winning battles if the story is boring as hell? A lot of choices were poorly handled, where if you let someone live you get a boon, but if you kill them you must suffer a detriment. Those bastards deserved to die, dammit. Why should I be punished for expressing myself?

So yeah, I abandoned the game and have no intention of checking out 2. Good thing about getting them on PC? I only paid $9.99 for the two.
