Thats just a bias you have, some mods are better than some games you can buy at retail.Cheech said:

Out of interest which pre order bonus items did people go for? I got the collectors edition from GAME.co.uk so I get the memory band and the dalish promise ring.
I really want the lions paw and the feral wolf charm as well, I hope you can buy these on the PSN or xbox live individually.

Good call! Is a bit much giving different pre-order bonuses to over 7 different retailers/ e-tailers...
Edit: Is that item from the EA page only for the PC version? Dont recall ever reading about that item (gah ridiculous!)

IS there an achievement list already? or is it spoiler heavy?

I should have some nice stuff to sell right when I load up.
I think I read, could be wrong, that some of the extra stuff is unlocked at shops so you actually have to buy them. If true, that makes me sad. I was going to sell them too.

No achievement list that I have seen thus far, seems they are keeping it close to the chest.

I finished Half Life and Oblivion years ago. I'm done with those games. Why would I want to replay them with prettier graphics or quests/missions designed by amateurs, which I have a billion other games to play?
I realize this reads as trolling, but it's not. I've been playing PC games since 1986, FFS.
And no, I didn't play Counterstrike, because I was playing Unreal Tournament and SOCOM at the time. Both of which I found to be more entertaining online shooters.
This is off-topic so I'll keep it brief, but I'll repeat that mods are valuable to help the development community recruit new talent. I just don't find them a valuable use of my gaming time, and therefore are not at all a selling point when I'm selecting which games to buy. I don't think this is an especially inflammatory point of view.

360 achievements have been out for awhile now.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/dragon-age-origins/achievements/
Nothing to spoilery that I can tell. Although I havn't read much about the backstory of the game, so there may be some story ones that meant nothing to me when I read through the list.

Thanks, didnt know this existed, some of them sound pretty cool and they all seemed main game related rather than making you go do stupid tasks for them.

What are you all guys rolling?
Im thinking either Dalish Elf Warrior or Mage first time.

Real Time Settlers Mod for Fallout 3. Or a host of the other mods out for Fallout 3 from adding some green trees, better looking weapons and bodies, different locales and hideouts, to gameplay fixes and modifications.
Ignoring mods for an open game system is pretty much throwing away free content because you feel it is beneath you because it is not 'developer-published'. I'm sorry, but that's almost textbook snob.

Going for the dalish elf warrior as well, will be using the dalish ring as well for more damage to dark spawn.

Dwarf Warrior most likely, which I'll branch off to a berserker later on.
Just got back from Gamestop and switched my PS3 pre-order to 360, surprisingly I didn't get one bit of hassle heh.

Whether or not it's you. Ideally, in these sorts of games, taking down something like an ogre or dragon should be a massive undertaking. It should require a party of several people, along with high-level equipment, spells, etc. And then it wouldn't be a case of you actually being more powerful than the creature if you defeat it, but rather being more numerous and well-equipped, and out-strategizing it.

Dwarven Commoner Rogue or maybe a City/Dalish Elf Mage.
I usually restart once or twice in the first 15-20 min before I find something that feels right.

If the reviews confirm that the PS3 version has very noticable technical issues, I'll just tell them they had it wrong the entire time at GS. "What, no I said 360, no,no your mistaken." :lol
I would really just prefer to play it on my PS3,though,oh well.
I bought the game because it had dwarven characters, so a dwarf something.

I haven't been able to dig up information regarding that exactly, so here's a question:
What is the combat system like?
Bioware combat systems are hit or miss to me (I kinda liked Mass Effect's, liked KOTOR's, hated Jade Empire's) so it's the one thing keeping me from making a purchase right now.

:lol :lol That would most likely work!
Yea, I would have too mang (It's Dyslecix btw) mainly because I pray that every time I turn on my 360 it doesn't die. It's been running strong for a while so hopefully it'll be okay.
I just don't want a gimped version, I notice framerate easily and I know it would bother me.
I'll probably pick up the PS3 version if I can find it that cheap. So many origin stories to play through, doing so on the couch for a couple might be nice.Loudninja said:Dragon Age PS3, Xbox 360 under $40 Black Friday

In almost every rpg I've ever played, I always play a caster to start with... perhaps I should branch out.
Dwarven Commoner Rogue sounds interesting, maybe that's what I'll do for my first play-through.
Already have a Human Magi ready in the wings, though.
I'm also gonna roleplay the hell outta things. My male dwarven commoner will have tendencies to blurt out the wrong thing at the wrong time, and will be totally in love with any male Elves he comes across.

Shit, you couldn't pay me enough money to walk into a Sears. Hell, I don't think there is a Sears in Miami, anyhow.

Oh no doubt.
The very obvious secret to being geek lord of your local GS is the pre orders. I pre order alot because I buy alot of games. I have them so well trained, they all know that if they ask me "Do you need any help?" or "Would you like to pre order ---?"
They will get no pre order.
I literally walk in and ask them who's quotas are low at this point. :lol This particular GS is within walking distance of my house so I have been going there for years.

Out of those three, it's closest to KOTOR's, except better in every way. Expect many more viable tactics, a difficulty level that spurs you to use those tactics, and a larger quantity of everything--abilities, items, simultaneously playable characters, etc.TimeKillr said:

I will have to plan all my sexing in this game very carefully. My wife looks at me like I am a loser when I get these in game relationships going, its bad for my self esteem. She can't be in the room when I bed my warrior princess :lol
