@rasgris033 i downloaded the game and everything, but when i click play, it says: Failed to detect a supported video card, can someone please help me??? can i download it from the internet or i have to buy a video card? i have it on PC
Great review, and I know I am late to the game with my comment. This is absolutely the best RPG experience I ever have had and RPGs are my life blood in gaming, no other genre comes close. As much as I have played this game (on PC as well), I have never seen where the sub-menus state what percentage of the game is completed. Can you elaborate?
Ok so i'm about to get dragon age origins on the 360 or ps3 ( my comp has shitty graphics) I have money to get both origins and awakening so now i'm looking for which console is best ive been looking at graphics comparisons but they look really close does anyone see which is better? it may just be my laptop which is why i cant tell. The graphics is really the only thing that keeps me thinking right now but if anyone has anything else to say about which is better that would be great.
@DuvArts There's not going to be much difference between the console versions and we know that the PC version on a high end PC will blow them away graphically and with the controls. But, from experience, if a game is cross-platform (IOWs, made for both consoles), it typically looks better on the 360 and that is a near gaming site consensus. Typically though, games that are exclusives tend to look better on the PS3.
@Tommy6860 i downloaded the game and everything, but when i click play, it says: Failed to detect a supported video card, can someone please help me??? can i download it from the internet or i have to buy a video card? i have it on PC
Awesome game but I've been playing the pc version and players should be forewarned about one thing. Stay away from the Warden's keep DLC it's broken. The keep location will randomly disappear from your map for no reason never to return unless you have a save you can go back to (I'm not the only one experiencing this google it).
This is absolutely brilliant its often played frequently during the winter with my sisters they are awesome at it. totally free for my sony ps3 from - 115 games . c o m there are thousands best thing about it is they are all free too also I must say 2:24 2 3:54 was cool
My main issue with Dragon Age Origins is that the combat gets boring after a while. Literally the story is so compelling that the combat turns into a lackluster interruption to it, lol.
I bought the original Mass Effect from the same developer because I want to get ME2 but hadn't played the first yet... and it has a similar issue, really. The story and characters are so developed and well-acted that the combat pales in comparison.
If you get Leland, she convinces the priest to let Sten go without having to threaten the old bat. I just finished the game tonight and it took me about 71 hours.
excellent we play it all the time at the weekends with my sisters they are incredibly good at it. I was lucky enough to download the game totally free for my sony ps3 here one blow {.} com there are literally thousands and the best thing is they are all totally free I must say 2:04 to 3:54 was top notch
Excellent game I like 0:02 I managed to get it free at 115 games . c o m They have the current playstation 3 games available there and the best thing is they are all totally free too cool game
yeahh, thinking about it i realised too, it would spoil this game. i went and bought it by the way
* SPOILER *
and i am at the part where you can make a deal with the demon possesing connor, i chose to learn blood magic and for some reason it has not appeard.. any ideas as to why?
Hmm I chose that route too and if you're still standing in the room with his mother and father you might have to talk to one of them to confirm it. Or maybe it's the mage you talk to. I remember it coming about through conversation anyway.
Oh and I hope you don't mind Alistair hating you ;)
ahaha, well i figured it out eventually, you have to reach level 7 to learn it, and if you miss that, level 14 you get another chance, and he diesnt hate me anymore :D i gave him his mothers locket which i found in the arl's study right after that mission. he approves like +10 i think

I bought this game for the 360 two weeks ago after renting it and I can't stop playing it! I got stuck on a battle with my human warrior so I decided to beat all the origin stories. Went back to the human story and got stuck fighting Branka (last quest before the Landsmeet). So I am concurrently going through with an elf mage and a city elf rouge and the replays are just as fun, if not more fun due to knowing what the hell people are talking about this time around.
Ok why is everyone afraid of spoilers for this game? I also keep hearing something about a twist? The only thing that can remotely happen that is a spoiler is you can recruit loghain into your party and make him a grey warden (that's the evil option, so who didn't see that coming has an option?).
My biggest problem with this game that I can't get over is the first town you goto after the warden slaying. It's a small town. Problem is, the RPG of this town. If you leave the town with out taking a quest there is nothing outside of the town except the standard quests. example: if you don't take a side quest, there are no bears or no dead body surrounded by wolves UNLESS you actually take the quests. It is just stupid and I'm surprised that nobody has said anything about this lack of RPG.

@cuteboy11991 (sigh)You really didn't try the PC version then did you. You don't have to point and click you use the WASD keys to move around and for your simple mind this is what each key does...
What a waste of money. Point and click is all you do. I thought I could fully control the characters. Rent it and you'll know what I mean. Don't make the mistake of buying it to find this out later like I did. I got it for the xbox360.
im not sure about geting this game or not im 50/50... some times im thinking, i cant wait... and others im thinking, naa i should not buy it... grrr i cant decide
My comp is crap.. can only take the minimal requirements, and have to be rebooted several times due to lag - which is every time there's a major combat..
Yet I can't stop, even with graphic settings making it worse than World of Warcrafts, its still just sucks you right in..
It actually makes me want to invest in a top notch computer just for playing this.. :x
how about a review adressing this game's horrible, and i mean Horrible graphics. Ps3 xbox360 PC doesn't matter there's no excuse for graphics this bad. And i know it's a large game bla-dee-blah check out the preview on Final Fantasy 13, THAT's next gen. This game is an insult. People who call this game next gen should be hit in the face.
I spend a shitload of bucks for this shitass game. Stay away from it potential buyers.
I know dude.. I didn't buy the game, but I downloaded it, and the graphics aren't very impressive, and yet, the game still lags, and I have a decent computer.. they could've spent a bit more time on this one
Not at all. I'm just saying that a next-gen game comming out in 2009 for fullprice should live up to certain expactions.
i find the gameplay horrible aswell. And personally bad graphics it they come to the point where they keep you from getting involved in a believable rpg-story can absolutely wreck the experience for me.
I can't believe everyone love this game... NO D&D rules !!! wat the fuck!!?? to say this is baldur's succesor is just insulting. Not only that but it's DAMN EASY, it's like they got rid off all the hardcore rol fan stuff just to make it suitable to the ignorant masses. fuck u all people
While it may not use the exact D&D rules that BG1 and 2 had, it's still feels a lot like a Baldurs Gate game, which is a good thing for me. Also too easy? try it on harder difficulty then if you're so über!
"it may not use the exact D&D rules" . . . the "rules" they use have NOTHING to do with D&D, you obviously know nothing about this. I play on difficult
I was talking about the overall feel of the game. It's a spiritual successor, not a direct sequel. I've always found the D&D rule system to be rather limiting when it came to its usage in video games. It's better if the rule system is made to fit the game rather then vice-versa.
yeah i put it on nightmare got to the part where you get the Urn of Sacred Ashes and couldn't kill the Spirit people... had to bring it all the way down to casual... :/
I'm playing on Normal. At first i was afraid I'd make it too easy for myself, but this game is anything but dumbed down. It will OWN you if you don 't know exactly what you 're doing, and that's just on Normal.
Yeah it's worth it on any platform. The X-Box version suffers from not looking quite as pretty and from the control method like the PS3 but it's still definately worth buying.
@TheFinalHighlander, way to go letting the family killer loose lol, a cant wait to buy this, am gettin a ps3 in two days and this is the 1st thing am doin, and mw2 !!
Hmmmm, if you like RPG games then yes, it's still worth it, but just to warn you there is no online or multiplayer but you can download content, or at least on the PC you can
@yourtwistedable i downloaded the game and everything, but when i click play, it says: Failed to detect a supported video card, can someone please help me??? can i download it from the internet or i have to buy a video card? i have it on PC

Yeah I believe the Stone Prisoner and the Dragon Armour comes free with all retail copies of the game presumably for a limited time but I'm sure you'll be fine if you're getting it on Christmas.
If you don't mind that the controls are more simplistic on console (as expected), the graphics aren't as refined or that there's no modding for that version then I'd say yes.
There's no question that the game was originally intended to be played on the PC with the option to play in an almost RTS fashion, but I'd say the game is still worth a shot on console as any game breaking issues will likely be addressed by Bioware since they have a long-standing support with their games.
if u go to the bar, and get leliana. then go to the church? and try to free Sten, then u dont have to pursuade or intimitate at all. she gives the key to leliana but carefully with what u say... do not try to intimitate or persuade, only talk normal
I just gave up on this game after 70-80 hours. A nasty bug stuck me and my main party in the worst armour (which it won't let me can't remove). The original stuff is all gone. I'm not happy. Last save which doesn't contain the bug was 20 hours before. I was relying on autosaves and quicksaves. Never mind eh?
There are some cool slow-motion kills which depend on type of melee weapon, decapitations, slashes, stabs, and some pretty burly kills on large creatures like the ogre. They happen randomly but the slowmo kills on the large creatures happen more often.
I'm finding that too. I'm not sure if it has an Oblivion style leveling system or not but opponents always seem to be my equal no matter how much my characters advance. At the moment I'm getting my ass kicked by hordes of common bandits in the city. Embarrasing for heroes.
I just beaten it on normal, and some areas are pretty tough, like the Dwarven area. The last fight was intense. I will suggest tho, ranged players can be your friend, especially mages. As for the enemy, I do believe they scale with your level, it makes it more challenging which is what I like in a game. Like you said the pause button is your friend, I would be in the middle of a large fight hit pause and say "Well... shit, let's see... Ooo Morrigan has this off cooldown! yay!"
Cool thing about this game is that the there are many known actors and actresses voice acting in it. You'll hear Kate Mulgrew, Claudia Black, Micheal Dorn, Tim Russ, Tim Curry, Ethan Harris, an more :D
I'm about halfway through the game, gameplay is amazing, a few glitches but they can be overlooked until they are patched, and the cutscenes like the last one you had shown were very well made.
I'm a keen WoW player, but I'm not normaly into traditional RPGs. But from what you have shown this realy looks and feels involving! While the classes do look a bit generic, the whole world that sucks you in looks like something I could enjoy. I'm a little short on money right now, so I will probobly hope to get this for christmas =D.
Thanks for giving a first impressions quick review of the game. I've seen it around but didn't know anything about it. Now I want the damned thing! You owe me $60 so I can buy it lol.
I want to buy this game but i only have a ps3 without a pc able to run the damn game, i think ill buy it anyway, and also as ign said it wasnt an spiritual secuel to Baldurs Gate that it was an evolution of the old games...im a fan of baldurs gate i have all the games and im only missing one expansion...i hope this game delivers the same level of entertainment...good review
Getting laid off tomorrow from my job. So I am planning on purchasing a copy of this and playing this to kill the hours while not looking for another job. Should be awesome...
Probably spent a TOTAL of 40-60 hours on it... I'm at 40%!!!! Massive, great story, all the other stuff you said and with cut scenes that rival movie quality!
Yeah, I've spent a bit of time on this game as well, and I'm not close to finishing it one play-through either. One thing Bioware knows how to do, make long and interesting games/stories, instead of the mindless "Ooo pretty" types. Also that re-playability is never a problem with any of their games. I can't wait to see the extra content that they make for this one and what other puzzles they have hidden in sidequests.
well yeah... I have skipped a few quests, missed some so It'll still have re playability. That toppled with the fact that you have so many choices is most situations, some of which even changing the game story slightly further on.
Though there are some glitches, some funny and some annoying, but far from ruining the game.
It sucks that I have to wait until May to get a ps3 because my 360 died. It looks amazing and I love bioware. kntor1 and mass effect were personal favorite games for me and this looks 2000% better. I just acn't wait.
Just updated the description box with the minimum requirements as given on the back of the box although they seem hopelessly optimistic to me. As they usually are.
Console version sucks!! I love baldurs gate and I bought it at gamestop dot com, too bad atari owns the right of baldurs gate.. Gay

Does the PS3 usually have frame rate issues? I just got this game today for my PS3 and it seems a little laggy. Any way to fix this?

Yes they usually do especially compared with 360 versions of multiplatform games.

My comp is crap.. can only take the minimal requirements, and have to be rebooted several times due to lag - which is every time there's a major combat..
Yet I can't stop, even with graphic settings making it worse than World of Warcrafts, its still just sucks you right in..
It actually makes me want to invest in a top notch computer just for playing this.. :x

how about a review adressing this game's horrible, and i mean Horrible graphics. Ps3 xbox360 PC doesn't matter there's no excuse for graphics this bad. And i know it's a large game bla-dee-blah check out the preview on Final Fantasy 13, THAT's next gen. This game is an insult. People who call this game next gen should be hit in the face.
I spend a shitload of bucks for this shitass game. Stay away from it potential buyers.

I know dude.. I didn't buy the game, but I downloaded it, and the graphics aren't very impressive, and yet, the game still lags, and I have a decent computer.. they could've spent a bit more time on this one

Graphics isnt a problem... maybe something to really argue about?
IamDuhmb 2 years ago
I find the graphics to be inconsistent, but I'd never say that the graphics were "bad". Perhaps you should play the PC version.
It's an excellent game, go away.
Buzzap14 2 years ago
@soytjuh So you bought the game for the graphics, not for the gameplay?
You are a retard if you hate this game because the graphics aren't good enough.
klober23 2 years ago
Not at all. I'm just saying that a next-gen game comming out in 2009 for fullprice should live up to certain expactions.
i find the gameplay horrible aswell. And personally bad graphics it they come to the point where they keep you from getting involved in a believable rpg-story can absolutely wreck the experience for me.

I can't believe everyone love this game... NO D&D rules !!! wat the fuck!!?? to say this is baldur's succesor is just insulting. Not only that but it's DAMN EASY, it's like they got rid off all the hardcore rol fan stuff just to make it suitable to the ignorant masses. fuck u all people
annatar3 2 years ago
While it may not use the exact D&D rules that BG1 and 2 had, it's still feels a lot like a Baldurs Gate game, which is a good thing for me. Also too easy? try it on harder difficulty then if you're so über!
Doperwtje81 2 years ago
"it may not use the exact D&D rules" . . . the "rules" they use have NOTHING to do with D&D, you obviously know nothing about this. I play on difficult
annatar3 2 years ago
I was talking about the overall feel of the game. It's a spiritual successor, not a direct sequel. I've always found the D&D rule system to be rather limiting when it came to its usage in video games. It's better if the rule system is made to fit the game rather then vice-versa.
Doperwtje81 2 years ago
yeah i put it on nightmare got to the part where you get the Urn of Sacred Ashes and couldn't kill the Spirit people... had to bring it all the way down to casual... :/

I'm playing on Normal. At first i was afraid I'd make it too easy for myself, but this game is anything but dumbed down. It will OWN you if you don 't know exactly what you 're doing, and that's just on Normal.

is it really hard on normal ?

It's challenging, but not really hard. You can change the difficult level at any part in the game if you're finding it too easy or too hard.

WarBob56565 2 years ago
If you don't mind that the controls are more simplistic on console (as expected), the graphics aren't as refined or that there's no modding for that version then I'd say yes.
There's no question that the game was originally intended to be played on the PC with the option to play in an almost RTS fashion, but I'd say the game is still worth a shot on console as any game breaking issues will likely be addressed by Bioware since they have a long-standing support with their games.

I just gave up on this game after 70-80 hours. A nasty bug stuck me and my main party in the worst armour (which it won't let me can't remove). The original stuff is all gone. I'm not happy. Last save which doesn't contain the bug was 20 hours before. I was relying on autosaves and quicksaves. Never mind eh?

warprivate123 2 years ago
There are some cool slow-motion kills which depend on type of melee weapon, decapitations, slashes, stabs, and some pretty burly kills on large creatures like the ogre. They happen randomly but the slowmo kills on the large creatures happen more often.
Atheistcat2004 2 years ago
oh yeah i rented this game and its cool but its kinda hard
warprivate123 2 years ago
I'm finding that too. I'm not sure if it has an Oblivion style leveling system or not but opponents always seem to be my equal no matter how much my characters advance. At the moment I'm getting my ass kicked by hordes of common bandits in the city. Embarrasing for heroes.

warprivate123 2 years ago
I just beaten it on normal, and some areas are pretty tough, like the Dwarven area. The last fight was intense. I will suggest tho, ranged players can be your friend, especially mages. As for the enemy, I do believe they scale with your level, it makes it more challenging which is what I like in a game. Like you said the pause button is your friend, I would be in the middle of a large fight hit pause and say "Well... shit, let's see... Ooo Morrigan has this off cooldown! yay!"

Cool thing about this game is that the there are many known actors and actresses voice acting in it. You'll hear Kate Mulgrew, Claudia Black, Micheal Dorn, Tim Russ, Tim Curry, Ethan Harris, an more :D
I'm about halfway through the game, gameplay is amazing, a few glitches but they can be overlooked until they are patched, and the cutscenes like the last one you had shown were very well made.

While the classes do look a bit generic, the whole world that sucks you in looks like something I could enjoy. I'm a little short on money right now, so I will probobly hope to get this for christmas =D.

Manaborn619 2 years ago
Yeah, I've spent a bit of time on this game as well, and I'm not close to finishing it one play-through either. One thing Bioware knows how to do, make long and interesting games/stories, instead of the mindless "Ooo pretty" types. Also that re-playability is never a problem with any of their games. I can't wait to see the extra content that they make for this one and what other puzzles they have hidden in sidequests.
Atheistcat2004 2 years ago
well yeah... I have skipped a few quests, missed some so It'll still have re playability. That toppled with the fact that you have so many choices is most situations, some of which even changing the game story slightly further on.
Though there are some glitches, some funny and some annoying, but far from ruining the game.
