I never finished DA1 cause it was soooo boring and I am trying to remedy that today but fuck is it sooo boring.
This is the new shit, and are you mother fucking ready for it?
Have you tried bumping the combat down to easy? and hitting cone of cold? I really liked the story in origins but the combat definately drags it down if it's not your thing
Graphics suck, boobs are too big, everything is dumbed down, The Witcher is god, Merril is for pedophiles, voices are horrible, BioWare is selling out, is racist and hates gays etc etc.
Now we've gotten that out of the way.
How about that chesthair?

I played the DA2 demo and was like yeah this is what I want in my new shit. I even bought the DA1 game and guide in collectors edition thinking it was going to be a Bioware RPG but with a vicious action RPG gameplay. Nope!
I don't have a problem with Isabella's rack, I just kinda thought that it might be just exaggerated.

Yeah the first game is way more baldurs gate than DA2, but it is still a good game if you can get into it
Since 2 doesn't directly build off of origins I don't think your experience with 2 will be greatly diminished by not playing the first game, but you should still play origins because it is great
I don't think varric is really indulging much outside of the first part where your sister is smuggling watermelons and you can 3 shot an ogre

I had the same problem. I fucking loved Baldur's Gate and wanted to love Dragon Age so bad, but got about ten hours in and it just started to feel like a chore. Even with combat set to easy, there was just too much of it, I got so bored of clicking on dudes. So many minions getting in the way of what looked like a pretty interesting story.

I hated everything about the first Dragon Age's combat, even though I eventually slogged through and finished it (last night), but I've already played through DA2's demo 5 times now.

I should give that demo a go then I guess.
I'm trying to work out why I love Baldur's Gate (am currently replaying it) so much but failed to love Dragon Age, when DA is basically BG with better writing, graphics and UI. Maybe it's down to nostalgia.
I think that the combat is detached enough in BG that I have a different set of expectations from it, stylistically than the DA1 combat. Like I could accept that each fight was more about the setup at the pause screen then the act of swinging an axe at an ogre.
Regardless I love both games.

I have yet to find a game trailer that wasn't improved by the Hawaii Five-O theme.

Because the limitations of the technology used for Baldur's Gate made you fill in the blanks with your own imagination. It's why reading a book is often more satisfying than watching the movie version. I think the more the developers can show, the more they need to show to make up for it.

well, I played the demo
I don't know if I was doing something wrong, but I really hate this game
it feels like Mass Effect's developmentally challenged cousin in the way the controls work
why would you bind turning the camera, attacking and moving all to the same mouse button? That's just madness.
Are the controls really that much different from origins? The only thing right click didn't do in the first game was attacks (I think)
No, it's exactly the same as the first one. Right-click did move, attack and camera in that one, too.
Yeah, I have no idea where all the complaints about A and D rotating the camera, or right click auto attacking are coming from as they're exactly the same as DAO

Fade dragged on. Deep Roads was the best bit because it was the only section that felt like an adventure. All the other parts were based in or around settlements or towns. The Deep Roads section was like this trek through caves to the centre of the Earth. You felt isolated and in a place that was truly hidden away and forgotten. Everywhere else (Denerim, Brecilian Forest, Redcliffe and even the Sacred Ashes) they were all sorta like places where people already lived.

I liked the deep roads.
They had a pretty authentic mines of moria feeling.

what an amusing turn of events
Yeah, I hope fans can have the same devotion to varric as they do to Tali.

Personally, I'm way more offended by all the female characters that don't have ginormous racks than the one that does.

Didn't get a single bug in New Vegas either.
Yeah.
I had to make sure V-Sync and SSAO was off so it wouldn't crash and I didn't get those annoying load screens during everything.
PS3: Sound cut out bug but nothing else and played a lot better (again read above)
I still played the demo a million times though
Yeah, I have no idea where all the complaints about A and D rotating the camera, or right click auto attacking are coming from as they're exactly the same as DAO
yeah
it's still exactly as aggravating to play as the first one
Now I just need to do the dwarves, but that means going through the fucking Deep Roads again.
I really want to finish this run, but on the other hand I'm not sure if I want it THAT badly.
I just went through the deep roads with Haste on the whole time and it made things a bunch more tolerable
momentum is supposed to make it even better
so you don't have to do it all at once
Unlike the fucking fade grrrrrr
oh. really?
That would have been good to know.
