Discuss the Dragon Age Series here.

gosh this thread just keeps goin......I wonder what the longest running thread on the boards is.

The Community Tech Thread is up to 97.

I'm curious... why discuss Bioware games on Bethesda forums?

Isn't there a forum explicitly for Dragon Age?

As I said, I'm curious. If you can't explain it to me without being rude, then don't bother.

There are plenty of threads for plenty of game series here in Community discussion not just Dragon Age. I've seen them for Red Dead Redemption, Borderlands, Starcraft, etc. The threads are just a way for people to discuss other games with Bethesda forum members.

So my mom (pretty random, isn't it) borrowed DA:O from a friend last year and I just now got into it, and I love it. Is any of the DLC worth getting or should I just skip it? And what about Awakening?

We want to talk about Dragon Age (a Bioware game) with the people on the Bethesda forums.

Also, Bioware social is pretty awful in general, and they've recently started banning people for dissent.

I think the TES V Ideas and Suggestions topic in TES Series Discussion ran for 187 threads. :shrug:


Eh, the only decent DLC is the Stone Prisoner, but only if you get it for free (with all newly purchased copies of the game); $15 seems kind of steep. As for Awakening, it's okay. It was not worth the full price when it came out, and...well, even the $20 it goes for now seems too high since the original non-ultimate edition of the game goes for that price too.

And deleting threads about them banning people. I need an alternate account for that place, allthough I think what EA is doing is illegal, and they tried covering up "one of system glitch" my ass.

At least here even when you don't like something your allowed to express your opinion without fear of banning.

Meanwhile in a non- tinfoil hat discussion (as in: i'm seeing a lot of undeleted long-running complaint threads around there), i tried again a 2h warrior but the way fighting with them it works in DA2 just doesn't agree with me. Guess i'll have to replay Origins for warriors :shrug:

Well, might as well start a blood mage then

That depends entirely on the opinion.

Their forum, their rules, you don't have to like it but that's the way it is. They are entirely justified in banning people if they see fit, I don't even go there so I don't care, judging by the state of the place I wouldn't say it's a huge loss.

EDIT: It just came to my attention that these people are being banned from playing the game, not just the forum...That's [censored] ridiculous.

So, after playing up to the deep roads in the second and playing a couple of the intros as well as the ending of the initial scenes (Just before I leave the wilds for good) I can safely say that both games have their pros and cons

Quinari: DA2
Pace: DA2
Skill tree designs: DA2
Overall art: DA2
Combat: DA2
Voice acting: DA2

Elves: DA:O
Story: DA:O
Combat variety: DA:O
Player Character: DA:O
Locations: DA:O
Side quests: DA:O

Are you STILL going on about that crackpot conspiracy theory? Good god man, at least let it drop here. There might even be a rule to not discuss other forum events. Or that could be my wild imaginings at such a glorious future.

I've been here for 6 years, and the reason for that is because these forums are better run and civil when compared to bioware's or any other game developer's forums.

Plus if we said half of what we've said on Bioware's forums, we'd have our accounts banned.

I still don't understand how they could possibly be able to prevent playing a game that doesn't require an internet connection to play?

They didn't get BANNED! It was a mistake and they apologized. Hell it happened before and they fixed the problem, but one ass made a loud complaining topic and now everyone on the internet seems to think they are evil soul svcking machines coming to ban you from all of your EA games.

Edit
I haven't seen a "controversial topic" this inflated since someone accidentally tripped me and everyone screamed racist genocide.

Edit2
If your going, good. I won't bring this up again. We can live in peace. Please continue with the Dragon Age discussion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnjaUoR15dU#t=0m31s.

Oh right conspiricy.
If you like EA banning you from using something you paid for thats fine, I dont. And considering now its another ban and threads being deleted to hide what they did, its not actuall a crackpot theory, but hey keep supporting them, I cant see any negative effects where we just let them take content we paid for becuase they arent happy.

To save myself getting warned I am going to leave this thread.

Well, from my short time browsing their forums I can say that there is a ton of negative criticism on their site. So whats all the hub-bub about them banny-banny people who dont agree wit them?

Mostly agreed. I actually preferred Hawke to the Warden, partially because of the voiced dialog, but mostly because you spend the game playing Hawke's personal story. In fact, if not for the uneven third act, I'd say DA2 was a better story. If only Bioware could have made Act 3 as good as Act 2, but if wishes were Halla, the Daelish would have left Sundermount.

I'd give both games an 8. I'd give Origins a 9 if you're buying the Ultimate edition with every DLC included, though I suspect that DA2 will have quite a few DLCs as well.

If DA3 can take the combat, style, and dialog for DA2 and place it into a world the size of Origins with similar enemy encounters, I think I'd be in gaming heaven.

Yup. This is why I don't know if I'll be getting BioWare games for PC now. Aside from TOR of course.

Complete... misinformation.... must... not... reply. Anyways I'm considering giving Dragon Age 2 a play through on my cousins PS3 (will hopefully have that opportunity soon), would it be worth it even for science? Or as a fan of the original is it just a waste of time?

It's much more polite to politely inform someone they are wrong then to tell them they're wrong blatantly.

On that note, would you care to explain?

Nope, most likely against the forum rules. If you REALLY insist I will bludgeon my brain on my keyboard and continue this in a private message. Just please drop it from this topic. Send me a little message via PM if you do, I'll get to it in a few minutes. The bludgeoning is from repeating it so many times, nothing personal.

So I'm about 21 hours in(had to redo all of Act 1, not fun), and almost done with Act 2. I'm glad I decided to give it another try, because the game is fun. Now, it is a disappointing sequel to Origins, and it has a lot of issues and could have used some more development time, but it's a fun game, even if there's not much that is spectacular about it.

There's two quests in my journal that are bugged, and I'm OCD about this kind of stuff, and it really bothers me. I'm a completionist and those two bugged quests that are stuck in my journal bother me.
