Great Game but I was annoyed that one of the biggest fun factor in an RPG - gathering better equipment - is bad in this game. You basicly wear the same armor and use the same swords from beginig to end... I thoroughly agree. I usually play mages on RPGs and so I did on Dragon Age. Now I wish I had played it with a warrior/rogue, at least they get some more variaty of weapons/armor. Graphics & story are superb. I think they could have done a better job with levelling system too. Mayeb I'm used to MMORPGs, where you can grind xp and farm cash & loot awesome stuff. For me gathering and improving weapons and armors to go kill even bigger monsters is what RPGs are about. That's where DragonAge failed big. Even then I put 60 hours on it, doing side quests and taking my time, but quit near the end because the loot dissapointed me so much. I even tried starting again as a warrior, but doi9ng the same missions over again already knowing what they were about killed the thrill, so I sold the game. Multip`layer would have made an awesome addition to Dragon Age. That and good loot. Well worth trying it though. Speaking of RPGs I'm getting Borderlands this evening, a friend recommended it to me and after checking online revies it's a shooting FPS/RPG that mixes diablo, fallout & even Mad Max aspects. eager to try it. I also started playing Red dead redemption last week, but multiplayer is broken (Rockstar are working on a path to fix it), and the single player got old really fast for my taste. Though it's a great game and will come back to oit as soon as they fix MP. -------------------- Guitars:

I would call the kind of game you're describing 'hack n' slash'. It's basically all about the loot and killing bigger and more epic monsters. Dungeon Siege is a pretty good example, definitely try that if you haven't. The thing you have to know when you get a Bioware game though, is that they don't really do hack and slash. They have always had the focus on telling a good story, which is their strength. The process for Bioware hiring a writer, I've heard, is more intense than most major news publications. Yes, I love hack & slash Diablo style games are awesome. Wow was something similar, though on a different scale altogether. The best game I've ever played was an old MMORP called Asheron's Call. I'm sure I'll never experinence something so awesome ever again! But I also loved Bioware's Never Winter Nights. I finished the game & all expansions and even played online in custom worlds etc., plus the user made download content was excellent. They mixed story, loot & hack and slash perfectly in NWN for my taste. Borderlands has some RPG aspects, but not too many. Its focus is run and gun gameplay, and they are not kidding when they say there are a lot of guns, there has to be a minimum of 600 billion individual guns. Either way its awesomely fun. I just started playing Borderlands and so far I love it, the definition in the back cover fits it perfectly, it's RPS (Rol playing shooter) hahaa, it's really something different from anything I've played before, very addictive. -------------------- Guitars:

Asheron's call was great Very fond memories of that game... Finally someone who played AC! That's exactly it, fond memories, I loved it. I really enjoyed the magic system on that game it was hard but so rewarding and worked great. And levelling wasn't a piece of cake like newer games. Building a powerful character needed to be well planned, and took lots of effort at low levels to actually work at high levels. Amazing game. -------------------- Guitars:

Yes it was so awesome. My final char was a battle mage, I loved running the Obsidian Plains killing Diamond Lord golems and baddies, and helping people retrieve their corpses & stuff. My first day playing was awesome with some guys around a camp fire talking about going hunting big stuff, they gave me some magic items and I headed a cave to kill some undead. Best game ever.
Oh, and going back on topic, I saw Dragon Age for 19,95 € at gamespot. For that price it's a steal! -------------------- Guitars:
