So yesterday I began playing my new copy of DA: O for the PC, and I am absolutely loving it. Im maybe two-three hours in, and it is amazing. The art style is great, the story is brilliant,  but the audio is the greatest ever. Better than Mass Effect even. The sound effects are great, the music is epic, and the voice acting is like an academy award winning movie. The cinematics are great, and create some epic moments reminiscient of stuff from LOTR. I cannot wait to really delve into this action packed game.
 
I'll say this. If you like KOTOR and Jade Empire then you'll like this. Even if you liked Mass Effect you'll like this. Get it .
 
Video Blog tomorrow.

Well, I don't have it... Dragon Age Origins, but I wish I did. I'm not sure if my PC can play it and to play on a console is... like no, not interested. Maybe my PC could play it, the last bastion of sorts. Long live my dying PC.

Really? I shut it off after 30 minutes.

" If you think the audio is that great, you haven't heard the tavern song yet. "

I bought it day one..but haven't played it yet...waiting till Christmas...when I can play it for 2 weeks straight :)

I really want to get it, but I don't have a PC that will run it, and I feel like its not worth getting on console.  Maybe one day when I have a worthy PC :(.

I shut it off after 35 hours, this game rubs me the wrong way, and im a huge rpg guy, played every pc rpg since 1997 basically, i wont post the list here again but i am a big rpg fan.
 
And this games does nothing for me, the story is bland, the characters are generic, the universe is much more "been there done that" than i thought it would be. Seriously its a huge deception. And i bought it on steam so i cant resell it.... dammit!

If your so a 'been there done that' type of guy then why are you playing computer games at all? "

I like my pc. Simple. I know most of you won't agree with me but i don't mind. Dragon age is much, much more generic than i thought it would. And way to many moments ripped right out of LOTR. I mean i understand that tolkien basically wrote the basics of the fantasy setting and that its hard to be original in that genre, but dude. Talking tree, really? "

@demonbear:
I still stand by my first post.

I half-expected him to throw in a "Hroom a hroom." (That's probably not how you spell that, been a long time). "

Glad you are enjoying it. I love Dragon Age. I got it on launch day and have been playing it non stop ever since.

 Plus i was talking to a friend, and hes a "compulsive restarter" and he played all the origin stories and he said that after that, its the same game, almost zero customisation once you're out of your origin place. Thats quite sad. Its the illusion of choice rather than having a real choice with consequences.
 

The game is hard as fuck, though.
