Anyone else looking forward to Dragon Age? (Spoilers and plot discussion here)

[katmai]

I have played both a human mage and high caste dwarven warrior.  I like it!

Did anyone notice the blood.

Still on my Dalish Rogue killing children of kings and having fun

Here's a 20min~ gameplay video: http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-dragon-age-origins/17-1477/

I just watched the first tiny bit of the video and I have a question for those of you that play it..

Does it play exactly like WoW? The interface is very similar.

[Grey Fox]

No. Nothing plays like WoW.

It can be played as WoW but you will die quickly. Actually, it is a very interesting blend of wow-ish WASD controls and point-and-click overhead RPGish controls. Will have to see how it actually works on the long run

Played it for sometime.  I like it very much so far.  I like The Elder Scrolls style and scenaries even more, but Dragon Age works for me.  A couple of small problems -

Too much emphasis on combat
Graphics don't seem cutting edge
Too much blood
I hate how they constantly try to sell stuff to me.  And I hate myself even more for even thinking about buying.  Must.  Resist.

Nah, real money.  Downloadable content.

So is the consensus that this game is worth buying?   I'm bored as hell with WOW and need a new non-mmorg distraction.

Well it depends.  If you liked the other Bioware games like Kotor and BG you will love it.  If you did not like those games I would probably recomend you give it a pass as it is based around the same sort of ideas.

I  think he is talking about the $7 DLC thing Warden's Keep.

What if You liked Kotor but not BG& I liked NWN tho?

Then you should die horribly for shitty taste.

But I would say in gameplay style it is more similar to KOTOR than BG.

[Lettow77]

 There are people out there who dont like BG?

Anyhow, I cant afford this game, and it's more within the missus's sphere anyhow. I'll wait and see what she thinks of it.

Stores in Vienna currently only seem to have the XBox version.

Never played a Bioware game.      I still may give it a try.
