You can't really compare it to the older rpgs like BG because it's just a different era of gaming right now. Combat was pretty good, if you played it on nightmare the fights werent all that easy unless you abused certain spells like FF and that living-bomb type of spell etc. It's not a top RPG ofc, but it's still good considering what we've been getting these last few years. | ||

Currently there are like 4 kickstarter funded CRPG games in production using just that logic. Costs don't ramp up in the same way if you are happy to make a great game instead of a AAA game. I personally look forward to Project Eternity the most but we'll know which are good or bad as they start releasing. I don't think I ever posted my opinion of DA, it is a pretty fun game. I don't know what it was lacking but it was certainly something. | ||

The next game will be called Dragon Age III: Inquisition. We won't be talking about the story of the game today. Though you can make some guesses from the title. This game is being made by a lot of the same team that has been working on Dragon Age since Dragon Age: Origins. It's composed of both experienced BioWare veterans and talented new developers. We are working on a new engine which we believe will allow us to deliver a more expansive world, better visuals, more reactivity to player choices, and more customization. At PAX East, we talked about armor and followers… Yeah, that kind of customization. We've started with Frostbite 2 from DICE as a foundation to accomplish this. So they are developing an entirely new engine for the game to run on, obviously not going to be a quick build like crappy DA2. Hopefully it is as expansive a world as DA:O, if not even more so. The entire letter can be read here: http://dragonage.bioware.com/inquisition/ | ||

Ah sorry about that, not sure how those sales work, but figured I throw that out there so you know what's possible (?). Not sure how the inner belly of marketing and retail works though. | ||

Good points, and tbh I'm not really left feeling wanting for an RPG. NWN has enough content to last me the rest of 2 or 3 lifetimes really. Makes me wonder how many of those "premium modules" Bioware was able to sell considering how much better the player made modules were- and the near-infinite quantity lol. Probably the top reason we won't ever see another NWN unfortunately. Might be kindof cool if an HD version was released though... all I could really want is a slight graphics upgrade even though I still like the graphics for the most part. Would probably never happen but I can pipedream... Even Gamespy dropping service to NWN hasn't mattered. The NWN community never ceasing to amaze, bypassed it entirely with a player made server list of their own and basically said we don't NEED you at all lol. Nothing can prevent determined nerds from playing their beloved NWN.  | ||

Not sure about the best place to buy it as I've had the game for ages and has a permanent place on my PC and every PC. Fairly sure you can get the collection for cheap these days though. For player made content, the first thing you will want is the Community Expansion Pack- a massive effort that added a ton to the base game. For other player made modules, worlds/stories etc, there is NWN Vault which contains thousands and thousands of them, pretty much something there for every style from hack and slash to adult and narrative based stories and persistent worlds. They are rated by the community and there is a Hall of Fame for the most highly regarded ones. Many server based persistent worlds are also available to download here, such as my personal fav- World of Greyhawk (very old school D&D modules faithfully reproduced). So you can either play it multiplayer over IP or download it and play locally- or even over LAN with a friend or three. http://nwvault.ign.com/ Character building is extremely deep and complex. This isn't just clicking a button here. You can seriously put in as much time and thought into building a character as patience allows. They seriously don't make 'em like this anymore. This is a good site for character builds, some proven some not and all in different ways (some excel in low-magic worlds, others in high-magic, pve or pvp, etc etc). There have been groups dedicated to min-maxing and testing over the years and this is an example of those years of theorycrafting and testing: http://home.comcast.net/~worldofgreyhawk/buildsearch/ | ||

Trying to have an open mind, but so far not impressed (probably just not my cup of tea- and why I ask). I didn't like The Witcher 2 either, for example... It's an EArpg. The original was a decent Crpg. The expansion and the second one were rushed pieces of crap. | ||

Disapointment incoming. (I rate DA:O as being good, not extraordinary but decent. Let's hope they at least reach this level). | ||
