What did /v/ think of Dragon Age Origins?
>>336003246
shemale mods were ok
the difficulty is shite.
if you don't go get the healer first you're fucked.
>>336003246
Generic but the characters made it fun
I prefer DA2
Still the best game in the series.
i liked the fade and being able to shift into three different things.
>>336003591
get the fuck out.
>>336003246
The more I think about it, the less I like it.
le it was only liked because le there were no other le rpgs around at the le time may may
>>336003246
It was the last enjoyable game from Bioware.
>>336003246
I liked it. The origin stuff doesn't hold up after a couple of characters because you realize how little it matters. It was good for getting into the role playing though.
>not playing a racist city elf
Also, you have to get Wynne or every fight that isn't faceroll easy will wipe your group. Fuck that fucking blood mage boss in Denerim.
Loghain did nothing wrong.

DA2 had better art-direction, better gameplay, better animations, better characters, comfy setting, good plot, better qunari design, excellent party banter, love and hate meter, sarcastic Hawke, and Femhawke
Now meme away about muh recycled dungeons that even I disliked
Fun game but I honestly enjoyed DA2 a tiny bit more. I understand the complaints about it but I liked the smaller, more focused scale of the story and there were none of those dwarven tunnels that took two hours longer to get through than they needed to. I liked how my choices felt like they mattered more in the first game though.
I liked DA:I a lot, it seemed like a good mix of DA1's actual RPGing and DA2's streamlining, plus the returning characters were great. I love Varric.Plus I played them all back to back immediately before DA:I released

The """plot""" was dogshit and an excuse to string together a bunch of sequences that had the writers thought were cool but did not quite mesh. So they just said fuck it and tried to go the anthology route and they didn't even get that right. Fuck Kirkwall, fuck mages.
it was alright. the other 2 games in the series makes it look like a masterpiece.

played normal and got fucked in the ass at Redcliffe. Did this again years later thinking I was just a shitty player the first time. Nope. Still couldn't get through. Just gotta load an older save so I can go get some heals.
Origins was good, Dragon age 2 was enjoyable for the most part. But they really fucked up inquisition
It was very good I thought. It had a decent, if generic, plot but it was more the characters and their interactions and dialogue that made it great.
Then DA2 was unbelievably awful in almost every aspect
I haven't played DA:IBUTTON AWESOME

Redcliffe is a bad place to go first. it better to go to the elven forest.
Would have been fun if it played more like an infinity engine game instead of the degenerate streamlined world of warcraft-inspired slow mess that ended up being
Mediocre.
>>336005631
Plus, every class felt good playing in DA2. Whereas only mages were fun in the first one. The cross class combos were way better than elemental combos from origins. How people can say the combat got worse is beyond me.

Lore was okay.
Characters were great.
Origin stories were fun.
Items were boring.
Combat could get complex and fun, or be set to easy to skip it.
Progress was linear.
Not enough cool and interesting lore to discover.
High dragon was a let down.
It was a pleasurable and memorable experience.I liked believing that woman cared about me.

>>336005748
>Plus, every class felt good playing in DA2.
beacuse fuck logic. we all super sayjans now. i admit, playing as a mage/archer made the game somewhat enjoyable but seeing a warrior with a 2 handed buster sword swing it like crazy like his from some anime compared to the first game was insulting.
>>336005928
Sorry for disagreeing with the /v/eddit hivemind, I guess I should stop forming my own opinions
>>336003246
Best RPG and one of the best games ever.
Leliana is olev. Shame she is stuck with her stupid hood in inquisition.
>>336005993
I'd prefer competent tolkein-ripoff to incompetent "original storytelling" any day
>>336005631
You got 10 months is no excuse for the Aveline storyline. That's just shitty writing.
I don't finish most games, I completed that one twice.
>>336006015
Not only that, but every class contributed to the overall offense. I rolled a tank my first time through Origins and it was a mistake. He literally just stood there with his shied and dos nothing but shitty weak attacks. In 2, they balanced the classes nicely so the trinity still applies but every class felt important.
>>336006057
What was incompetent about it? It was a great narrative of a man as told by those who knew him.
Don't understand the people ITT saying the game was hard. The only hard fight was the flesh golem in some DLC. Everything else is doable on nightmare, you understand the game mechanics.
You don't even need to go full min/max on nightmare.
Just abuse crowd control spells (freeze cone, paralyze, glyphs) also passive party buffs (the champion aura and one of the bard chant) basic mana/health potions.
And mana clash. Makes a lot of fights way easier when you can instakill all mages/emissaries on nightmare. Also the Gaxkang fight.
I mean I'm far from being a "good" player but that game ain't hard (except the fucking flesh golem, that fight is insane).
>>336006273
Fuck off, only mage should be op

Are you talking about the Harvester? That shit was nuts. I'm still pissed they recycled it for DA2.
>>336006448
>parroting /v/'s opinion instead of making up your own
stop
As someone who isn't a particularly experienced RPG player.
I thought Dragon Age Origins was fantastic. The great set of characters were the highlight, but the story was engaging, especially by video game standards and I really like the strategic pause & play gameplay. Also, it absolutely nailed the dialogue system. No casualized bullshit like in Mass Effect, where top right is good, bottom right is bad, nor is there a stupid good/evil meter for your character. Instead, you're just presented with a simple list of dialogue options; your party reacts differently to each one and the game doesn't judge you.
I didn't play Dragon Age II because I heard it was shit and it certainly looked pretty bad.
Played Dragon Age III and found it extremely mediocre. The characters are alright, but not nearly as memorable, fun or interesting as the characters in Origins. The story was complete garbage, riddled with neo-Bioware moments like the singing scene and the gameplay was boring; all the strategic elements from Origins were removed for mediocre ARPG gameplay, which makes no sense for party combat.
In my quest to find more games like Origins, I was told to play Baldur's Gate II, but I couldn't get into it. It had all these acronyms in the menus which I just didn't get, especially in the stat pages. Also, I didn't like the locked isometric camera, especially for conversations; when I'm speaking with another character, I like to see them up close, as it makes for a more engaging experience. I know it's an old game with limitations, but such were my standards after Origins.
I've been playing Divinity Original Sin lately, and think it's amazing. The story might not be anything special, but the turn based combat is fantastic, much better than Origins even.
>>336003246
Got it with 0 expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Was new to the whole fantasyshit genre, so I get in there thinking I'll make some badass Conan the Barbarian shirtless savage motherfucker, only to find out you have to wear fucktons of armor or an extra shitty robe and wizard hat.
But the characters were solid, the combat was decent, and the lore had promise. DA2 gets a lot of hate for some pretty minor bullshit, probably because people were thinking a sequel had to be the same fucking game with new graphics.
Fucking faggot video game nerds hate everything.
But back to Origins, I had fun with it. Played it a second time around and realized some of the decisions made or the order in which certain things were done had a drastic impact on the story (which is something really lacking in like--every goddamn RPG). I think they could get away with that because it was the first game in the series, so it felt like the choices had impact. The Awakening expansion especially had some solid choices, although the characters all seemed like a distant afterthought.
>>336005748
>says DA2's combat was better because of the feel of individual classes
>fails to realize DAO is a party based strategy game
Sorry, but you're a fucking idiot. That's like criticizing an RTS because commanding a unit doesn't feel like you're playing a shooter.
DA2 tried to be an ARPG and a party combat game at the same time, and failed miserably. Only brainless morons like yourself eat this garbage up.
>>336006731
You should play DA2. I disliked new animations and designs but the combat is honestly better than in the first game. It has less roleplaying and not as epic but you feel more involved with the story and characters.
Recycled dungeons and environments aren't as much as an eyesore as everyone claims, the game takes place around one city so it kind of works.
I tried it and did not like it. Felt a bit like Baldurs gate for babies.
Like bioshock felt like system shock for babies.
but i liked bioshock.
>>336003246
That it was utterly mediocre and somehow still their best game in a long time.
I've never wanted to replay it either since I keep remembering how shitty The Fade and Deep Roads were.
I'd rather replay BG2 if I want a good RPG from Bioware.
>>336003246
Honestly one of my favourite games of all time and I have no idea why. I just loved it start to finish. I guess it filled the itch I had for more games like KOTOR. DA2 was garbage and Inquisition would have been good if it wasn't pretending to be an MMO.
Origins just stuck with me I guess. Played through it many times and loved every playthrough.
>>336007114
>you lived long enough to see retarded contrarians unironically recommend da2 on /v/
we need another purge
>>336007342
How did it go from being universally hated on /v/ at release to this? It is just fucking awful. How does anyone enjoy it?
>>336006731
Give 2 a shot, it's probably cheap as fuck now. Like what >>336007114 said, you do feel more *involved* in the shit that's going on, and the Qunari chief guy is based as fuck. Come to think of it, he's probably the most interesting character in their series. Combat-wise, I thought it was more fun, more like an arcade type thing.
And then 3 came along and added a bunch of cringey shit. The singing thing was dumb, although Origins had a kind of similar thing with Leliana. I don't have a problem with gay characters but like--man, they way overdid it.
This place went gay for it. Even more so that is.
Shame they couldn't manage a proper sequel.
>>336007450
Inquisition release, now people think DA 2 is good because of yet another shitty game, the cycle continues.
>>336007450
>>336007342

I said in my first post that I liked it because I didn't play origins. Then you proceed to thrash my opinion because I didn't play origins. Now who is a retard here?
>>336006731
to be completely honest, i liked 2 more than inquisition. its got a shit load of problems an dyou can painfully tell it was rushed (and a lot of the things people are saying it has over origins are fucking nuts), but it also has a far more unique setup and story, far less padded content(outside of the repeated areas) along with better combat and tactics gameplay.
>>336005636
Become the healer you want to see in the world.
>>336008242
>Git gud
wave combat was incredibly simplistic and at the same time tedious because it prohibits strategy and promotes button spamming while taking way longer than it used to
in DA:O you could actually plan out combat encounters, set up traps, have your positioning matter etc.
>>336008242
>Git gud
There's nothing to get good at, you kill them before they even start attacking due to this shitty spawn-system.

It's an RPG and weapons/animations are supposed to have weight.

>You mean the horns?
Not just the horns.

They were everywhere as well before Act 3.
>They're not gonna mess with thr Champion
It's supposed to be an RPG yet no one ever mentions the fact that you're a Blood Mage.
>They do, like Anders for example
He goes on his terrorist spree no matter what.
>I see mo problems
No shit, you're clearly a retard.
>Was great
No, no consequences yet again.
>It's just a change in the HUD
It makes sure the player has less speech
options to choose from.
I can't remember, did the game have voice acted Hawke? Because that's also yet another way to make sure the player has less speech oiptions.
>>336008393
>Now who is a retard here?
The guy who begins a series with the second game, you.
>>336008020
>Wheel-design for speech
This is the biggest piece of garbage I've ever seen. Why does Bioware feel the need to tell players what the "good" and "evil" speech choices are?
>>336008514
doesnt matter cus it was boring af da2 is fun and action
>>336008514
You mean easier to cheese because you can reload encounters. How about dealing with enemies on the fly, like a real man.
>>336008559
What if I wasn't a blood Mage.
>>336008760
there was nothing to "deal" with
DA2 was in every way less challenging than DA:O
it was just tedious because you had to beat the same enemies that had literally zero chance of killing you 50 times over
>filter DA2 bait posters
>1/3 of the thread vanishes
DA2 is missed potential: the game. They could have made the game so good if they just fixed
>battles being waves of mindless nobodies
>reusing the same areas over and over again with none to very little difference between them
>some of the worst writing I've seen, Anders being a total fucboi compared to his charming rogueish demeanour in awakening
>the elf being literally anime
the only thing that was actually improved were the combat mechanics which weren't slow animation bound fuckfests where your tank can't build threat because his attack animation takes a century to complete and by that time every enemy is already running to your mage
mages also being less OPd so that you can't bombard groups with AoE magic and wait for them to die as they slowly try to reach you
I mean by the time you're a noble in the game you still have peasants come up to you with quests that have you kill mindless hordes of faceless bandits at night during various street events. The entire game should have evolved storywise to adapt to you ascending to noble rank but it didn't. It kept throwing the same type of quests and story at you in the same assets you've already explored only this time there's a demon in it
DA2 was a bad game because it was a cheap cash grab from retards like
>>336008242
who to this day are suffering from buyers remorse and feel the need to shitpost in every DA thread to show off how ignorant they are.
>choices with anders matter
nope no matter what you do the fucboi always blows up the church for no reason other than MUH OPPRESSION. none of this is resolves in DA:I because ofc there's an entirely different team of cunts working on that and there's like 0 quality consistency over the entire series
>>336008813
Then they shouldn't mention anything, is this so hard to get? Small details are important in RPGs.
>>336008559
I can name tons of RPGs with weightless weapons and animations, and I prefer that
What about the qunari then? The tattoos?
Not everywhere and obviously nobody is gonna attack the guy who single-handedly took down the Arishock
But you can decide what to do with him
Loyalty-rivalry allowed you to actually role-play and not be locked out of bonuses
Yeah Hawke had a voice
>>336008869
Mages in origins weren't as op if you turned up the friendly fire damage so if you let off a bit to much AoE you nuked your entire party as well
>>336008869
Obviously Anders will blow it up no matter what, it makes it feel like he's not just a puppet in your hands
But you can decide if you support him or you can just kill him for it
>>336008972
>implying they did
If someone complained about a dev rebalancing a class it means they justed wanted to abuse it in every way
>>336008881

>>336009104
You're in a city where Templars live and they're constantly on the hunt for Blood Mages, yet do not care about you being a Blood Mage.
Something like that shouldn't be happening in an RPG.
>>336009195
Templars live everywhere in Ferelden dumbass
>an ancient evil awakens, you are the chosen one who needs to stop it. but you cant do it alone, you may recruit party members then feed them gold and trinkets until they like you! then you can watch a cringeworthy clothed sex scene. after you've fucked go to those 4 locations to unlock the ending.
>>336003246
I really liked it, but it's the kind of game that gets weaker on additional playthroughs.

You're not the chosen one. But way to show you never played the game.

It's precisely the chosen one but almost

>>336009465
Referring to Dragon Age III?
>>336003246
I put a little over 100 hours into it. Not because I found it fun. Not because I liked continually replaying it. No, the reason was because I would get halfway, or like 66% of the way, through the game, and then just stop playing. It was so boring. Then a few months later I'd tell myself, "Okay, I'm going to clear out my backlog. I guess I'll start with this piece of shit."
So it went until my fourth playthrough. I buckled down, and told myself I wouldn't stop no matter how bored I got. I beat the game, it was shit, and I haven't had even a tiny, remote desire to play it again.
>>336009465
you're a grey warden, only one to survive the blood ritual, after duncans death there's like, what, a grand total of 3 of you left in feraldan? doesnt get any more choosenoneish than that
>>336009574
You're not the chosen one either, just a lucky guy.
>>336007487
Inquisition was actually pretty good compared to both 1 and 2 though. If nothing else it had some really nice looking environments.
Got it for "free" from PS Plus and was bored to shit with it and dropped it 30 minutes in. Would rather play something else.
>>336009195
But I wasn't a Blood Mage.
>>336009562
>>336009637
It's not a chosen one story it's a set of coincidences. You survived drinking literal poison, maybe you just had a stronger liver than those other fucks. And Alistair only follows you because he's a little bitch who has some sort of complex and doesn't want people to think he's bossy.
A chosen one story would be like if Duncan came and said "I saw you in my dreams you dumb faggot you're the only person who can save the world." Which he didn't do. He made you drink the shit just the same as everyone else fully expecting that you might die or he'd have to kill you himself.
>>336003246
Shit was boring nigga, I didn't have fun from the end of the Origin quest to Landsmeet.
If it weren't a dating sim with combat strapped on it might've been lots of fun.
>>336009692
That's the only good thing about it, you are correct.
>>336003572
It was worse in Dragon Age 2.
Anders was a terrible healer, his skill tree was so much worse than the one you could get on the player character Mage.
>>336009843
And Harry Potter isn't the chosen one, it's just a set of coincidences

It's pretty good.

a chosen one trope is when circumstances rather than your actions make you unique. in baldurs gate saga youre always on a personal quest, to kill the guy who killed your father, to kill the guy who imprisoned you and stole your divine essence, to survive the bhaalspawn war. as you pursue your goals you grow in power and become a significant figure in the gameworld.
in da:o you're already a special snowflake before you even raise your sword.
>>336009960
But Harry Potter is the chosen one, there is literally a prophecy about him.
>>336010057
>him
No
>>336003572
This isn't true at all.
On my first playthrough I didn't have a healer, Morrigan was my damage based Mage and I killed Wynne. I got bottle-necked with party choices though as my player character was a human warrior. I pretty much always had to have Leliana to pick locks and Morrigan for AOE, this only left one slot open.
Morrigan was so OP that I had to turn the difficulty up to Hard.
In Awakening the only time I had a semblance of challenge was on Nightmare.
>>336010019
I give DA2 more credit than DA:I. It was shat out in 18 months on a shoestring. DA:I had 3.5 years and a budget... and it was still shit.
>>336009960
Harry Potter is part of some big prophecy, he's pretty much the definition of a Chosen One. Your DA:O character isn't part of a prophecy, he just so happens to be the only guy left after the Grey Wardens are betrayed.
It's not a chosen one story.
>>336010052
>You're already a special snowflake
According to whom? You're a chosen one because you survived getting poisoned? Nobody ever mentions anything about you being special compared to any other Grey Warden. Literally anybody can be a Warden if they survive getting poisoned by some old guy.

Harry Potter isn't the chosen one
The prophecy in no way says his name
He just happened to be the lucky/unlucky guy that Voldy chooses to hunt down because he's an insecure fuck
>>336003246
I liked it, though the story sucked. Didn't like how the final battle had almost no references to any of your allied races. Glad they fixed that in ME3.
>>336010294
Most people don't
You're special compared to literally every other non-warden in the game
>>336010294
>According to whom?
according to circumstances that leave you as one of the very few remaining wardens in the land.
>>336003246
I loved it, one my favorite from the last gen.
>you play as a chosen one
>but you're not chosen to do anything

>>336010370
That's not really a chosen one story though. A chosen one story would be if the Grey Wardens had some prophecy that you would come along one day and save them. There's nothing to even imply that Grey Wardens have anything special about them until AFTER they drink the blood.

And that's how he became literally part of the prophecy and thus the/a chosen one.
>>336010489
That's not a chosen one story. That's a set of convenient coincidences.
>>336010586
>>336010618
by that logic if you and your family were hiking in the woods and some hobo killed them all except you and you decided to hunt him down, you're a chosen one
>>336010665
Did you pick the wrong pepe? You ought to be happy.
Fuck you guys, now I feel like reinstalling.
I've got way too much work to do to be playing video games.
>>336010725
>You ought to be happy
>>336010647
a set of coincidences that sets you up as a potential savior of the world from the getgo aka the chosen one.
>>336010771
But not too much to be shitposting here apparently.
>>336009582
You're like the guy that masturbates to gay porn A LOT just to make sure he doesn't like it.
100 hours into something you don't enjoy. Next time, I don't know, just go to like 20 and if you're still bored, just uninstall and move on.
>>336008559
AUTISM SPEAKS!
>>336009646
No, you are. The player controlled character is the one who can magically wield the powers of the void.
yearly reminder that female Hawke is a half assed copy paste job ofThrone of Bhaal's main villain
>>336010618
A meaningless self-fulfilling prophecy
He had no bullshit powers that were unexplained unlike the warden who survives drinking darkspawn blood with no explanation
>>336010581
It's Dumbledore
He said Neville could have easily taken Harry's place if Voldy hunted down his family
For fuck's sake Dumbledore himself explains he's not the chosen one and the prophecy is meaningless and it only self-fulfills because Harry wants revenge and Voldy is insecure
Nothing more, after destroying rhe horcruxes any guy could have killed Voldy
In DA:O it's literally only you, blondie or Morrigan's baby
>>336010890
its called a homage

Why are DA2's designs so awesome?

Femhawke is a qt.
>>336010834
Of course not.
What's wrong with you?
>>336010798
That's not what chose one means. Chosen one stories include some sort of prophecy or foretelling of some sort that preordain your character as the one who's going todo the thing
By your logic every Call of Duty game is a chosen one story because you're always the only guy in the right position to save the day.
>>336003246
Fun game, easily lost hours to it. Followed by an awful sequel and a half-decent third game bloated with fetch quests and social justice nonsense.
>inb4 muh hinterlands
Everything after is a direct , aesthetically boring downgrade. Hinterlands is the only segment of the game that's remotely interesting.
>>336011082
Femhawke and Bethany were too good for this world
>>336010950
>Only you, blondie or Morrigan's baby
Show me the fucking part of the game that says that literally nobody else can become a warden ever again. I bet you can't because it doesn't fucking exist. You're not a chosen one you're just an idiot with a strong liver who survived by virtue of being given pleb duties.
>>336011267
They don't say ever again but for a while
Nobody knows how to do the rituals and shit and basically it's just 2 guys left
Isn't the MC in Planescape Torment the chosen one?
>>336011364
No.
>>336011364
He's on personal quest, not a quest to save the world. Or anyone. But himself.
>>336011338
>Nobody knows how to do the rituals and shit and basically it's just 2 guys left
Nobody except the dozens of other warden all around the world
>>336011521
Who don't show up
>>336011146
>social justice nonsense
Confirmed for having not even played the game, but instead being up to date on the latest memes of 2014.

A literal manchild. Zev is better.
>>336011338

You make a new warden during the game and shit them left and right in awakening

I'm glad I sparred loghain and let that faggot getting beheaded.
>>336011024
Haha yeah dude I liked the head armor that looked like it was from a gay Hogwarts dressing closet to.
Solo Nightmare with an Arcane Warrior was fucking great

3/10, see me after class.
I'm playing it on PS3, is it harder or something? If I don't have Wynne in my party I get pretty much raped like >>336003572 said. Can't even get past that werewolves cave with a shit ton of skeletals without a healer. They are easy enemies, but I get overwhelmed quickly.
I'm playing as Rogue, have Morrigan, Alistair and Leliana in my party.
>>336013241
It's easier actually
>>336013241
>I'm playing as Rogue
>Leliana
There's your problem nigga, you only need one Rogue.
>>336003246
pretty shit-tier game
rapes everything that made old RPGs good
has retarded characterdevelopment that is nothing but cliche
gameplay is boring and basic as fuck

What's your favourite spell /v/?
>>336003246
Average. Didn't like most of the party members, and the main plot with the Blight was kinda underwhelming. Also, Duncan dying at the start was a mistake. He could have been a really cool character, but nope.
I did like all the other stuff though, doing quests in the cities etc.
>>336004842
>DA2 had better art-direction
considering how the spawn appearance and the shitty texture no
>better gameplay
hahahahah no
>comfy setting, good plot
no
>>336008393
you
definitively you
>>336013241
See
>>336013048
Have Morrigan learn healing spells, and stock up on magic potions, and you'll be fine.
>>336012469
you do get that you sound just as bitchy as the SJW crowd when you say dumb shit like that right? Like, there's definitely legit problems with the writing in DA:I in terms of story and the characters themselves, and Bioware did have a transparent as fuck agenda, but the shit you're taking issue with is the reason people look at video game nerds as a bunch of preening pimply faced basement dwelling faggots.
>>336003246
The "origins" portion was the best part and I wish more games would do it. Instead you're always the generic everyman that does everything and always starts the same way regardless of background.
>>336013348
>>336013883
Alright, thanks. Leliana is pretty useless outside of lockpicking anyway.
>>336010702
if the hobo was already the part of the prophecy, then yes, your analogy is correct
>>336013395
>rapes everything that made old RPGs good
Like what, not being D&D? Filler combat being somewhat entertaining instead of a brain-numbing slog? Characters not being one-dimensional memes with rodents taking up their inventory slots? Every important fight being won or lost exclusively by magic users? Corridors not being lined with traps that serve literally no purpose other than wasting your time? Interface not being horrible? AI not being even worse? Gear being somewhat less of a joke? Monsters having abilities that force you to take at least slightly different approaches to fighting them?
DAO had a lot of problems, miserable length and a jew selling you DLC in the party camp not the least of them, but as a GAME it's the only decent thing to ever come out of Bioware.
>>336003246
one of my FAVORITE games of all time.
there is a part of me that prefers Baldur's gate 2...as the art and story still hold up.
but there was something about the style, storytelling, pacing and refined (but still not perfect) combat that makes it such a gem.
I always play on nightmare. it's fun and fair.
but...my first playthrough was rogue...and everytime I go back I pick mage again even though I tell myself I need to try other stories. arcane warrior is just so OP and is fun as fuck.
