Default Dragon Age Origins

Anyone pick up this game? I got it yesterday, but haven't had a chance to play yet.

Everyone I know that has, though, is raving about it.

I really want to get this game.

However, I have no idea when I'll be able to play it. Maybe over Thanksgiving...

I heard it's a legitimate throwback of the Baldur Gate series, which is good =D.

I was reading a review about it, as I've been excited for it as well, and its gotten 5 stars.

The game is pretty good, though not as deep as previous D&D rules games. Honestly, there is a lack of skills and if there are skills then they all are pretty similar: same effects with different picture and description. Also crafting is lame and blunt, "basics" if you would ask me. No crafting for armor and weapons at all (except for enchanting), there is some Herbalism, Poison Making and Trap Making, but that's all. Music and all the background sounds reminds me of Baldur's Gate series, dialogs voice acting is really great, I am not sure about the whole story but so far it was not bad. The game runs pretty smooth too, no crashes or bugs yet. Graphics ofcourse are great.

In summarizing, I think Bioware lost their name for making some really great games, it seems like it is going for a pop games again: as the game is pretty hard to beat (playing on Hard) and at last nor a console controls, it's still pretty lame with not deep at all gameplay. They should really brainstorm on more features, like house/castle building (It was worth to play Neverwinter Nights 2 only for this feature), much more deeper crafting. The game to be great it needs to be really good at all points, sadly Bioware does not make such games anymore....

They don't make great games anymore because they are (very, very sadly) now owned by EA, which kills everything it gets its' hands on. Its like a plague how shitty game standards they have.

I suppose it depends what your standards are as well.

I've heard good things about the game from many people. It should be fun enough, even if it is not up to the standards of previous Bioware games.
