Even then, free community stuff is way better than the official mods/extra content:
All ugly.
Hmm..I actually got the portal vibe too. I was afraid of posting that impression here in case the comparison angered some valve fans for some reason haha.

Where do they find the time to get their hair did? How does it stay like that midst all the battle and dragons?
I bought the physical copy of the ultimate edition and it contain all the DLC released for the game. If something is missing, it's probably some DLC weapon or shit like that.

Dear Esther literally takes an hour and half so if you want to play that, I'd go ahead and do it.
Legend of Grimlock is a great game. it would be the next I'd play after that.

If I get a 75% off Rochard and GalCiv 2 I'll be satisfied with this sale. Got everything else I wanted for my $50.

Yes. The expansion alone is 20-30 hours.
The only difference is I got the balls to say it, in front of y'all and I don't gotta be false or sugarcoated at all. I just get on the mic and spit it, and whether you like to admit it, I just shit it.

I despise having an Origin account, but then I have no choice if I want to play Mass Effect 3 on PC. Also have a free copy of Dead Space 2 on there (Amazon promo). But if I buy DA again, I'm supporting EA

Is DA:O good enough to buy? I seem to remember a lot of GAF-bitching about that game when it came out.
I've never played a Dragon Age game before, but I like Bioware enough.

I'm surprised the nude mod isn't top or most downloaded mods at dragon age nexus.
Outside of the Just Cause 2 dlc (which even at 2.xx I'm not sure was worth it), last thing I bought was Indie Bundle V, what's wrong with me.

I can play that without having played the main game right? I already beat it on 360 and don't want to play through it again.

Most definitely. Awakenings alone is an extra 20 hours and is good stuff.
Make that two. I tend to hate all the modded female stuff. It looks plastic most of the time.
DA:O is fantastic on PC. It's shit on consoles and the sequel is like a completely different game. A lot of people hated DA2, but I thought it was okay.

Lmao, are you kidding me? I don't even see how people think games that long are desirable. It might just be me, but I prefer an 8-hour single player game a lot more than a 30 hour one.
Yes, most of the bitching was about the stupid marketing.
I don't think you and me will get along very well.

So, Dark Age Origins - whats the ratio of dialogue to combat? I could really use a nice party based combat game, but I'm not much of a fan of bioware conversation bloat (sue me).
toddhunter
Member
There will always be hate for everything on GAF...but what has happened since from Bioware and Bethesda makes DA:O now look like just about the best game ever.
We all wanted better at the time...now I'll settle for a game half as good.
Fair enough. Finding the female characters attractive is a big part of a rpg for me, and mods tend to make the game tailored to my tastes.
Note a whole lot. A lot less than Baldurs Gate and a shitload less than something like PT.
about 1:3 combats per dialogue

Call of Pripyat? What say you GAF?
Is it too slow of a pace for an average FPS?
also how well is it optimized? I ran METRO 2030 on my machine okay, would this run okay?
Do graphics stand the test of time? is there any mods to make it run and look better?
Speaking of METRO 2030, how does it compare? action? story? thrills? similar?

Oh god yes. I found myself thinking about the characters even when I wasn't playing. I genuinely cared about my companions. The story is fantastic and the modding community is unreal.
Also, Morrigan.
Yup.
I guess if you're just always in a rush for the next thing, instead of enjoying what you're playing.
Any rational person will take 30 hours of awesome over 8 hours of awesome for their money, all other things being equal.
Don't shoot people, run away.

Anyone and everyone in the fence about getting DA:O should not hesitate to pick it up. It's an amazing game with great characters, unforgettable and funny party banter, and enough action to keep you busy for as long as you can keep going.

I don't know what you mean by slow paced. It's exploration based, a bit sandboxy.
It's got typical eurojank, if you can run metro 2033 on your machine you shouldn't have an issue with stalker, especially pripyat.
Graphics at times are a bit dated but the art style is good. Get the complete mod to change the lighting amongst a lot of other things.

So as someone who doesn't want to drop $30 on the new Sins, is the old Sins worth picking up?
toddhunter

Hey I didn't mind Morrigan either, especially the mod version.
Still, I would go with her, but I'd be thinking of Leliana.

Would definitely take 30 hours as long as its good over 8 hours. So tempted to pick up DA:O Ultimate. I barely played my ps3 version.

Have you already played Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl? It's on sale too for $5 and it's the best Stalker game. There is a "Stalker Complete" mod that updates the graphics and makes it beautiful and also adds some really great gameplay additions like the ability to use a sleeping bag to pass time and the ability to trade/barter with just about anybody in the game as oppossed to just merchants.
You would have absolutely no problem running it at all.
However, it is a fairly difficult game, especially at first since you start with crappy weapons that have bad accuracy. It gets easier with time but it is always easy to die if you are stupid. You have to use cover, you have to often pick guys off at a distance, get the jump on enemies, pick your battles, etc. You will go down in 3-5 hits easily. You cannot circle strafe your way to victory. You have play smart.
It plays a lot like Fall Out 3 if the combat was real time and not crappy. More like Rainbox Six combat. Open world game with smallish "hub" areas, lots of choices, dynamic AI, and upgrading gear, selling old stuff, etc.

Does the acronym RPG mean nothing to you? Outside of Costume Quest I can't think of single RPG that short. To each his own I guess. RPGs help grow back logs not shrink them.
