Dragon Age, anyone?

Post Reply New Topic

I am terrible with abbreviations. Lord of the Rings what? As for Dragon Age, I just got it, and it's like playing Mass Effect and KOTOR (Knights of the Old Republic). The dialogue and plot options remind me of Mass Effect. And the fighting is almost exactly like KOTOR. When I first heard someone say KOTOR, I thought that was a word or something, but learned it was abbreviated of course. So Lord of the Rings:BFME is what? And PC, 360, PS3? What system is it on?

Aspiewriter, LoTR:BFME is Lord of The Rings: Battle for Middle Earth. They're a series of real time strategy games on the PC.

I'm playing it right now, slaying stuff in the Sloth Demons dream realm to save the Mage Tower.
Very nice RPG.

generally an all round awesome game apart from the the leveling/skill system which i thought was pretty lame.

I think the levelling/skill system is great. So many RPGs think they have to do levelling up differently, like Oblivion and Final Fantasy X, but honestly I find it really misses the mark when developers think this way. Nobody really cares how you level, or whether there's some fancy new never done before system for levelling. They're not making the process of levelling more fun, just tedious. All they need to do is make you able to select how your character going to specialise, maybe add something to their stats and give an extra skill here and there.

Give me simple XP points, reasonable grinds to next experience levels, and meaningful choices at level up and I'm happy.

My brother recently bought Dragon Age: Origins, and while he seems to like it, I think there is too much blood Shure, it does have one heck of an awesome storyline, but my mom is threating to take away the game.
