  • Can anyone tell me does the combat have a hack and slash feel to it like DA2 or Jade Empire or is it more sit back and occcasionaly use special atttacks like Neverwinter Nights or SWKoToR

  • Now compare this speech to what he said when commenting on the DA2 combat.

    Pure bullshit.

  • @OrdoMallius lul, DA2 is horrible

  • @Pawnbroker00

    yeah it's pure hyped shit

  • @Pawnbroker00 I sort of agree but cmon, the battle system was WAY better than Origins. I speak in terms of a Console I wouldnt know on PC as mine is a shit gaming computer.

  • @MrCannibal100 Combat system is inferior by far in the sequel.. if you like anime, then you like the sequel combat system, then you like gay anuses.

  • @Pawnbroker00 Whatever dude I dont care, Im not having an arguement over this.

  • what was that armor???? in the beginning

  • If you want action fantasy story driven adventure style game, get Dragon Age 2 for the console. If you want traditional RPG where every action you make and every choice in gearing/specing and stat choice effects the entire course of the overall story and the game goes on for ages like classic Bioware games, get Dragon Age: Origins, truth is there is a reason why decided not to make another game exactly the same, it's not in their style to do so, they get Obsidian to do that for them.

  • In this game if you want to sword and board, if you want to be melee oriented with a focus on smashing and disorienting opponents while deflecting blows, use a small shield or "Buckler". If you want to be a tank with a focus on deflecting incoming missile fire and full on just sit there and hold the line, use a large kite or tower shield, believe me in this game "there" is a difference between using the two.

  • What's the story of this game? i don't know if I should buy this.

  • @ChicDrummerChic Game have good storyline :) Don't think just buy it

  • @ChicDrummerChic No one would want to spoil the story for you just go get the game and you'll see yourself playing it straight 12 hours.

  • Also, this is NOT sword porn. That would be an intuitive combat system where it doesn't revolve around 2 characters mindlessly slashing at each other with no parrying until one guy dies. Cmon, even the first Riddick game had a solid dodge/parry system. And that was a prison fight with shank's.

  • @xman682

    If an opponent is mindlessly cutting into you and if you are mindlessly smashing him, means your character's gear doesn't reflect your character's stats. Don't talk rubbish about a game where you don't even know how to put in enough Willpower, Dexterity and Strength to set up your class correctly so you can play it intuitively. Tanks need A LOT of willpower and strength since they are in shield wall mode almost all the time and it uses up a massive chunk of stamina.

  • As an example

  • why did he say Conan and not Spartacus? ugh *facepalm*

  • I've played this once i i loved it even though im not a fan of rpg's this is one of the best i grantee that!

  • my fovourite combat style is GOD MODE

  • fuck, i died like 20 million times at 1:42 =/. guess i just suck at the game or does everyone find that equally as hard?

  • @liamdudeeee nah, i past that part

  • @liamdudeeee

    I found it very easy, so I guess that says something?

  • @MrSplademan yeah this game was never for me for some reason =/. I have completed it now, the story was epic but i dislike the gameplay compared to something like mass effect.

  • In my opinion, Bioware out did themselves again. One of the best games ever made I think. I cant wait to see what Bioware will have to offer in the future. Im very excited and anxious for Dragon Age 2s release date, whenever it may be.

  • now that they mention inspiration from lotr i do see the similarities

    alistair= aragorn- a reluctant heir who must claim the throne for the good of his people

    genlocks= orcs-small cowardly infantry

    hurlocks= uruk hai- a larger stronger and braver counterpart

    your npc= frodo- a peaceful life broken and dragged into a war

    oghren=gimli- do i even need to say it?

    leliana=arwen- graceful foreign, beautiful

    dog=sam- loyal companion to the bitter end

    redcliffe=rohan

    mages tower = orthanc

  • @Lostprophetzzz

    I can think of way more then just that, they pulled a lot of ideas from Warcraft, Warhammer, Lovecraft, Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons etc

    basically your standard set of Fantasy Sources which 99% of people who can't think of original ideas rip off from but make the game lore obscure enough that it seems original.

  • Now i have to go upstairs and play this game. YES Level 23 Warrior Wielding Two handed sword, i forget the name of it though

  • standing and slashing is not war, you need to ffing block the enemy blow!, other than that the game looks awsome

  • Just a question, I haven't got the game but im thinking of getting it. I just want to know more about the combat system. Do you click on who you want to kill? (kind of like World of Warcraft?) or do you button mash??

  • @cspwnage123 no button mashing. To make each action from moment to moment count and very exciting, they sped things up a bit. With that said, its absolutely 'not recommended' to play it in real time. At first, I find myself pausing every time before assigning actions to every member of my party. The most revolutionary gameplay system I've enjoyed is in this game is the tactics screen.

  • @CYRUSsoreal1987 If you are like me, some experience with computer programming made me appreciate how difficult it is for game designers to make game characters do 'smart' things in combat. And so... they put it in your hands via tactics screen. Dont be intimidated. If one specific condition is met, so-and-so will do a specific action. For example, if enemy attacks with melee, use attack/defense penalty spell on em. Thats just one out of a whole list you can fine-tune as it increases in levels

  • @CYRUSsoreal1987 So far, its just a one-to-one ratio of a whole array of conditions assignable to actions. I'm hopin in the expansion you can assign more than one condition to action just in case a particular spell is really powerful. You want to make sure it counts so there is alot of times you dont want to use it until the perfect moment. In the other way around a weak spell or move can be used in lots of scenarios. From one condition I'd assign actions to critters, enemies close to dyin...

  • @CYRUSsoreal1987 oh shweet thanks bro! would you recommend it on xbox360 or PC?

  • @cspwnage123

    Get it on PC. Better feeling of control. It's not that the xbox version is bad, it's the PC version which is much better

  • I'm a fuckin ELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How do you get awakening.

  • Hey Guys,

    I Just got 2100 Xbox live points and im over the moon :) ...

    Get free XBOX LIVE Codes & Points from...

    GetFreeXboxLive.Xnet

    REMOVE the "X"

  • Team Dragon Age i bow to you i am litterally in love with that game and getting ready to buy The Awakeining i cant wait to see more fantastic art and story lines from you guys you have changed the Meaning of rpg gaming forever and i hope to see more games like these out by you.

  • I dont know why people dont release any more medieval RPG games much. Oblivion was the greatest game I have ever played and I think many of you agree with me. This game looks fantastic im about to buy it, most RPG medieval games are done well and more should be released... im dying for Elder scrolls of oblivoin 5

  • Omg i love this game. couldve got the awakening but my cat scratched the disc!

  • Excellent. I honestly think Dragon Age Origins should be nominated the best game of the year.

    Let me teach you how to hack your stats (Attributes, Skills, Spells) so they're all maxed out to Level 4 since the very beginning: watch?v=zopos1B6Elc

  • The combat is one of strongest point of the game,pure RPG elemnts

  • wow very bloody lol

  • the only thing i don't like that much about the game is the combat system

  • yeah, i dont like click combat system...

    much more fun if your controling the sword yourself ^^ :D

  • i mean if you just cotrolled one person it would be greatly improved

  • when is this game released?? sorry not so updated.

  • it will be released the day after tomorrow, which is... tuesday.

  • It's released in November 2009...

  • love this game not much else to say

  • sword porn. haha. wow

  • 5:43

    what tha hell is going on with his ears :S:S

  • I have no idea why you even care about his ears, why don't you just care he does a great job with the story, even tho you Have to be a freaking Gray Warden.

  • the bit in nightmare keeps frezzing for me (on xbox 360) can someone tell me if it can be helped

  • nightmare is easy not at the beging. at low level every single mob potencially kick your ass but then mid high level it become a lot easyer especially if you have wayne in your party or make morrigan spirit healear \heal and forceshield

    i used me a warrior alistair morrigan leliana almost the hole game.

  • can you be a caster?

  • mage rogue warrior there the classes, Mages: Support, Big aoe damage, Healer.

    Rogue: Ranged, melee damage

    Warrior: Tank, handed weps, ranged (although not as good as a rogue)

  • cool vid, flemeth battle /watch?v=3K2jTrBJXgo

  • Sword porn rofl!! sounds kinky XD

  • if you want to solo you want to be an arcane warrior it is y far the best for soloing

  • that, or a 2hander warrior with berserker+templar/champion spec

  • No sword porn for me, I play a mage. ;[

  • did he just say sword porn? lol!

  • Brynnybob.. you actualy compared this game to Failsiders. darksiders isnt an RPG. its a shitty platform action game that has taken the basics out of nearly all other leading game makers such as god of war? please dont compare this game to shit like that when this game pwns the fuck out of it

  • nerd.....

  • REALLY nice game! ...possibly the best I've played since KOTOR2 or perhaps even BG2 - only downside is that it's way too easy :-/

  • Have you actually tried nightmare dificulty ? if thats to easy for you ... i dont have anything to say O.o

  • Yup, I have completed it at nightmare without much difficulty - only place it was a bit hard was when I was running around without armor :-/ (sold everything to buy the tomes at the first time in camp - Bodahn is restocking afterwards)

    Should probably mention I've played a lot of Baldur's Gate 2 and Icewind Dale 2 some years ago - guess I knew some useful tricks for the battles (not exploits, just some mob control)

  • well then i guess you can always try to solo it at nightmare :P most of the hardcorish ppl already did that :P

  • Hm, could imagine that soloing would be quite challenging - was using a warrior for a tank and two mages + Leliana on ranged attack for dmg, crowd control and, in the case of the mages, healing...

    Soloing would require quite a versatile character - didn't really try out the arcane warrior but perhaps that's a decent choice :-/ ...guess it'll help a bit if I start using potions, poisons and traps though... (and I'd still be f*cked if grabbed by a dragon, ogre or dog :S)

  • it's too bad i got it for xbox and you can barley do any pause tactics, buy this game for computer

  • SHOULDA BEEN GAME OF THE FUCKING YEAR

  • What did get GOTY? MWF2?

  • yes but, this is GOTY for rpg.

  • @DaffyDaeffler game of the FUKING DECADE UD SAY!!!!!

  • cant wait till the add on "awakeing" comes out, if anyone is wondering what it is, its a must get if you liked the game, this addon continues the story, so you can still play after the end of the game, pretty intense aye, and yeah, this game is the baby of lord of the rings and 300 mostly lord of the rings, whihc is why i fucking love it, its my all round fav film, and this game actually reminded me of it, one of my fav games ever!!

  • They really need to have normalized the finishing move attack speed, at least for all the smaller enemies. It's a bit of a pain to be "stuck" in a finishing animation when, if you just did a regular strike, you'd have been free to move 2+ seconds sooner.

  • i sorta like the fast action fighting better cause its a game and you want to have fun. When you see those cutscenes where they fight fast and shit and you actually play with two handed sword and your fucking slowpoke its something to be desired. Though thats the only thing i didn't like though the game itself was really good. It would also be cool to add in more executions.

  • Don't play DA:O if you don't like blood and gore, even then you can still turn it off..

  • hurray for sword porn :3

  • @hunkyzombie you can also get your dog to lick you clean, then you have no blood on you

  • shit

    a lot of bloooood

  • blood is really bad a bit to much tbh meh ust waiting for another game to come out

    =/

  • yeah but it is a great game

  • If something that tiny can ruin a fantastic game for you, then you might as well sell your consoles now.

  • darksiders came out its rapes this game... theres way to many gamesl ike thiso n out already and by "the blood is bad" i ment its looks really fake not "its to much for me to handle"...

  • Comparing a hack and slash with an RPG leads me to repeat my original point, Sell your consoles now..

  • I love me some sword porn.

  • The team AI was kinda annoying (especially if you have 2 mages and they keep overlapping glyphs) but the game was still fun, micromanaging included.

  • Hurray Sword porn! No ring porn or Sword through a ring porn? or... =]

  • Sword porn... hmmmm.

    gay.

  • lol @ comments

  • Agreed, I lawled.

  • @sammi306

    LOL @ comments too

  • geez sword porn?

  • game of the year and dacade

  • WTF sword and porn

  • SWOOOORD POOOORN!

  • 'You have to think of it as - Sword Porn'

    WTF XD

  • Sword porn?

  • I don't kill any dragons in this game.. i love them

  • point and click is lame

  • its not point and click , you can use WASD ... also you can use over the shoulder look or look from top/sky...

  • get a degree and build it...

    or try and contact your favorite developer and talk to them.

  • Oh, then I wouldn't suggest buying this game. Or watching videos of it. But mostly I wouldn't suggest commenting on those videos.

    And if you just point and click and watch, then you don't know how to play and should stick to oblivion. DA:O is awesome and I'm so glad I have some new bioware to hold me over until mass effect 2's later release date.

  • @Mikey234432 point and click is strategy..

    you wont survive long in this game by just dumb clicking. you need to be smart. (like me)

  • um yeh...maybe join the army? Becuase you can't swing a virtual sword...just in case you didnt notice....

  • Soo... He keeps saying "Heads come off" in various ways... Why havent we seen any of that yet?

    And can you play as an orc / mutant-thingy

  • I don't think so. The whole point f the game is that they're evil and you fight them. But you can still be a human, elf or dwarf.

  • sword porn did he say that??

  • I can assure you the gfx are not this good on 360 ! lol

  • Well i dunno but its kinda hard the game even on Normal difficulty, thankfully there is easy difficulty too. The combat system is like in WoW, Dungeon Siege, Neverwinter except that better animations, more blood, some tactics (but i sometimes find them hard to use). Anyway the game is cool for PC

  • This FPS looks awesome...

  • You mean rpg?

  • No, I mean FPS. I purposely said FPS to see if someone would be like, "WHAT ARE YOU A DUMBASS!?!!? IT"S A FUCKING RPG STUPID FUCK!!!!" Not the reaction I was hoping for. lol

  • i'm not like most :), happy gaming bro :p

  • ooo cool.

  • o lol nvm i might get it in like a month

  • i keep for getting is this on pc only or is it also on ps3 or something

  • It is on the ps3 and xbox i think, but on pc it is much better.

  • you but my comp is shit house

  • What!? Fighting system is like point and click? Like in WOW?

  • did you get the new expention

  • lol is not an mmo its an rpg :))) do you even know what mmo means?:D

  • I Know I Know Massively Multiplayer Online Me Good Boy

  • It's a RPG dumbass

  • Oblivion is pretty old.

  • can u change the mages gender, i dont realy want to be a female...

  • @tyeb29 yea, u can change gender of all. u make ur own person at the start and customise them

  • ok thanks,

  • I feel like, oh look some easy mobs. And after the fight I'm like ahh, fuck there went all my potions, guess I'll have to buy some new ones, oh yeah right vendors don't restock...

  • i mean $

  • question, is this one solely single player? there some sort of multiplayer?

  • Must buy...Must buy...

  • so much fun

  • so for those who already played it, should i get it for PC or Console?

  • I would say PC.

  • pc no doubt if you are a tactical player if you just want to bash the hell out of stuff consoles for you (pc has better graphics and it has a better menu system if that gives you more of an idea of which you should get)

  • better graphics IF you've you've spent 800$ on ram and graphics cards

  • i have a NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT pci 1GHz, 2 GHz RAM am i good for a PC version?

  • @OverMX you mean 2 gb of ram right? and if your processor (CPU) is a single corse 1ghz then theres no way sorry. Even if it is dual core it probably wouldnt run. You need to upgrade your processor and you should probably do ram too.

  • that's cheap...

    1200%

  • The first time I cut an enemies head off with my dual blades, I had to change my pants.

  • haha.... me too

  • lol if they want a cool combat system give us a motion control weapon thats lifesized as to waht you weild, and have a controller wired into the side of it.

    ex: if you have a sword you play with the buttons and sticks on the blade and hold the hilt when a battle breaks out

  • lol sir thats called a wii

  • lol if they want a cool combat system give us a motion control weapon thats lifesized as to waht you weild, and have a controller wired into the side of it.

  • Wow this game looks sweet

  • more trailers..?? oh cmon!

  • the cat said hi to the gerbil but it did not reply why? because it was watching tv but not a normal tv its a gv its a thing with a screeen but powred by an egg now we must get back to the sort of the thing that we dont like ike like like dike but to dike the sike u must eat the frit on the qik of the ting you are not here!flawlles victory is but babality of the man within get the rainbow to share the fruit that u bear on the grizzle ma mannizzle

  • .....

  • wth/

  • Sword porn.o_o

  • i dont want producers to talk about the game give me your opinion does its sucks yes or no?

  • I've been putting about 8 hours each day into it and I'm losing sleep, does that answer your question?

  • i got addicted to this game it is really awesome. it is really big and there is a lot of strat that goes into it. there are some pretty epic moments in this i especially liked the walk up to the broodmother the fight for me was really fun also. but everytime you fight mobs it does feel somewhat rewarding and if you arnt paying attention you will die because it doesnt fuck around xD

  • haha it even said the release date in the description XD lololol

  • god i hope it comes out for the 360

  • umm it already did

  • it did. november 3rd.  go get it! :D

  • Does this game have a leveling system?

  • Out of anything this is most like Jade Empire for the original Xbox.

  • On computar onry?..

  • I dont think so, i've seen stuff for this game on the xbox dashboard.
