Dragon Age Origins
« on: November 03, 2009, 02:31:38 PM »
Very good game. Good ol' single player RPG, right in the vein of Knights of the Old Republic and Baldur's Gate. If I'm not mistaken, it does use DX10 and what few effects you notice due to that are pretty nice, but not distracting or OMG.

Currently getting owned pretty hard by the first major boss. Twice in a row, at that. Almost got him the second time, but I'm super low on health potions. Gotta love sneak attacks to the kidney. (do orcs have kidneys?)

Taking voice acting, camera controls, overall game pace, overall graphic smoothness (before AA) and how far I haven't gotten into the game into account, I rate it 7.9/10 so far.

I was going to pre-order this, but I bought like 3 games in the last few months, so Im holding off.

Good to see that its worth the money... I'll be checking it out in a few months.

Beat the boss, woo! I'm not a fan of the KoTOR and BG "pause the game, select action" style, but it has to be done from time to time and in this case..... yeah. Gotta burn through those mage spells somehow.
