Sometimes, the tutorials and manuals exist for a reason :p don't burn me if there was no tutorials in this game, I can't remember anymore. Mainly what I remember was the feeling I get from any Elder Scrolls game, you really, really don't play them for an awesome combat experience. | ||

I don't mind that the combat and areas are extremely linear and on rails, but I thought the story would be more open than this. Doesn't really seem to matter what dialogue I pick, the story seems to be forced on rails. Pick one dialogue option, and if another is important, another NPC will pick it for you, or the NPC you are talking with will freely offer it to you. Some parts seem copypasted directly from The Witcher 2 (Loghain betraying the king, and the cutscene in Denerim) and overall just hilariously clique and lame. Pretty fucking terrible game tbh. What sub-genre is this considered (so I can completely avoid them in the future- not really even worth the 7.50 I paid for it lol)? | ||

Granted this is probably not really my type of game, but for $7.50 on Steam and all the rave reviews I figured I'd give it a shot.

The game (after the initial chapters) opens up and you can do events in any order you so please, with multiple endings for each one, tons of sidequests in each city with multiple choice endings for those too (well, some of the time, some arent so fleshed out but alot of them are) Theres a huge well of information to be found out about your followers, you can fuck them or make them hate you and unlock sidequests for those too + Show Spoiler + (You can eventually get morrigans mother instead of morrigan if you please, for example) If you havent played the game beyond Loghains betrayal and the small town just after it, you havent really played the game at all. Basically everything following that is multiple choice and there is depth to everything if you can be bothered, you could easily complete the game without ever doing some of the awesome storylines of your followers or multiple choice long sidequests for example. In other words, you havent played the game alot and your talking out of your ass with that witcher comment. | ||

Weakest of those 3 series imo, dragon age2 is even worse! Pretty sure you are wasting your time if you don't like it after 20 minutes or so, but the game should be worth it if you like mass effect and kotor! | ||

So what type of RPG is this considered? Do these narrative-based RPG's have a defining sub-genre? | ||

Dragon Age/ME are both incredibly overrated, and DA is by far the inferior of the two. If you're really looking for a quality RPG, don't get into DA. | ||

And its 10x times better than Mass Effect. dunno about that. for the story/telling part i think me2 easily was better (didnt play me1/3), DA story(and characters) are mostly really boring. for combat it very well might be but not that much better then lets say drakensang or similars if you fancy oldschool rulebased turn combat(drakensang made me atleast play through it) for the rollplay part id list skyrim over most others since true rollplay demands options and freedom, something all the others just fail at. /my view might be biased since the overhype of DA as a successor to BG series made me maybe expect much more then it ever intended to be | ||

Not that I'm against being able to bang a witch, I'm down with sticky witchy as much as the next guy, just that I'm getting old and have had plenty tail IRL... just doesn't fill a void for me when I have a witch anytime I want. :D | ||

It's fun in the sense that for the first play through, the somewhat predictable plot does bring you through some visually gratifying scenarios with some humor if you look hard enough. You can still enjoy DA more than once, but I recommend plenty of room in between so that you don't find yourself bored too quickly. Solid 7.5/10 | ||
