I checked on some reviews a lil while ago, and the game looks great. And yeeeaah! I loved C&C. I got the 4 disc deluxe edition of the game Its my favourite startegy game! Loving doing skirmish with friends hehe.

I only seem to like AoE, don't like Sci-Fi strat games, I want to have knights, castles, cannons, those kinds of things. Zerglings just aren't for me.

played it some but felt lost, like it was too big for me lol. one thing i liked bout WoW dury my trial was the area to comeplete a quest was labeled on the map, not directly but the area. enough to get you there but still make you search some.

unless there's an addon i can dl for dragon age origins, my days with that game are over. seemed fun but to blown up for me.

 

[athenaesword]

if you didn't come into starcraft early it's hard to enjoy the game cus everyone that's still playing's kinda godlike already.. until sc2 came along at least. any game isn't fun if you can't last 10 minutes against the average player... it's only fun if you win more than you lose.

btw i'm only saying this cus i lose more than i win, but i respect the game for what it is. i'm trying out sc2, and as far as i can tell, if you never got into starcraft, now's the time to get in lol.

yeah i get what you mean kurgan, i'm more of an epic fantasy guy than sci fi.. been that way even with books. that's why i played more warcraft than sc

I never even really played SC, just watched others, I don't play those types of games to build a small army and zerg, if I want to kill people fast and with quick cut throat strategy's I play FPS's. I just like to sit back, make a huge town, have it set how I like, get my massive army on and start my crusade on the poor bastard next to me (usually hoping its Napoleon, he's a resilient one, but when he gives up god does he cry like a baby). Just can't competitive RTS play, saps the fun out of it for me. I never tried WC II or III, I really need to try them.

I haven't seen anything about it on any threads here but Leliana's Song, a new DLC was released a couple of days ago. It's supposed to allow you to play through Leliana's past before coming to Ferelden.

A standalone adventure in which you play as Leliana during the mission--and betrayal--that changed her forever.

It is years before the Blight, and Leliana is a young bard whose curiosities run more to passion than to the Chant of Light. Her mentor, Marjolaine, is determined to inflict the Orlesian game of intrigue on Ferelden. It is a time of adventure and excitement. And it cannot last.

To begin this spirited new tale: From the main menu, select New Game, then select Leliana's Song.

Quick question all. I love RPGs, but hate when I have to control more than 1 character, and I think Dragon Age has the option of controlling more than one. Is there any way I can get away with just focusing on one character with this game and not have to worry about the others?

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

yea u can focus on 1... Dragon age has a system much like Final Fantasy 12 where your allies can be instructed to react automatically during certain situations etc... everyone in awhile u gotta do it manually but otherwise the game can be played through using just 1 character

 

[DanishDevil]

Hmm damn maybe I should have picked it up during the sale then. I watched a couple videos and once I saw multiple characters I said no. Then again I was broke back then

 

[AsRock]

For best gameplay NO imo, your better of tweaking them while your pauseed\playing as letting them to do there lvl ups and fighting can be annoying.

Like you might want to move the healer out of the way or even use her to heal you or all your party or take advantage with the archer.

The chars ended up much more stronger when i lvled them my self mostly the healer.

Taking control of them is not bad it actually gives you a break.

I finished the new DLC last night and it was pretty cool being able to play through Leliana's back story. It would be cool if they released something like this for each of the characters that you recruit throughout the game. I know Sten could definitely use a DLC like this.

Yeah, not all that much known about him he was not the most talkitive was he lol.

I guess it did not take you long to complete huh ?

 

[Shadowdust]

Not too long. It took about about two hours to play through it while taking it easy. The difficulty seemed a bit higher than my main Origins character, but I think that has more to do with the fact I couldn't set my characters skills from scratch since they all start out at level 10.

Goto the shop owner at the start of the game he sells some thing that can reset your skills .

Is the gameplay for this good? I've watched videos a few times and it looks kinda meh, lots of macro management more than interaction. I have been a fan of the final fantasy series. I've beaten 9, 10 and 12, and played some of 7. Other turn based rpgs i never completed: digital devil saga 2, dragon quest 8. So is it more along those lines, or is it like oblivion when you click to attack, right click to block, that kind of thing

Gameplay is great and guessing it's the pausing thats bothering you. Well on easy pausing is not required but play it on hard it really helps in those tricky moments. I find being fully zoomed out annoyied me endlessly but zoom in one step and it's more like NWN

 

[Hybrid_theory]

Final fantasy 12 i liked to a degree, though was kinda a joke once u got higher level. You just watched as they attacked and healed themselves. Now i tried baulders gate 2 way way back. I found it so boring and complex(i think), either way i didnt like it and only played past the first room.
