Dragon Age has massive dialogue. Even occasionally I find it excessive. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 10/01/2010 01:19:20 AM
Very occasionally, though. I prefer my games to be more plot than fighting.

EDIT: No, like, seriously. A game that was 50% plot would be incredible. The only issue with Dragon Age is that it does things like having 2 hours of fighting with no plot and then suddenly having an hour and a half of dialogue. Thankfully, they do a pretty good job of breaking it up. The best parts of the game are when you're moving around and your party members start bantering/bickering, or when you think you're safe in a city and suddenly you're surrounded by ugly men with uglier weapons.

Dragon Age is making me weep tears of awesome. And blood. There's a lot of that, too. Ghavrel - 29/12/2009 09:38:24 AM 1051 Views
man i've got to get this game. *NM* LadyLorraine - 30/12/2009 06:30:01 AM 342 Views
Yes, you do. I haven't played a game with this much delightful politics since Morrowind. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/12/2009 11:17:29 AM 343 Views

Well, they aren't remotely similar in anything other than the depth of the world. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/12/2009 05:10:33 AM 380 Views

It is pretty sweet, isn't it? beetnemesis - 01/01/2010 06:16:54 PM 625 Views
Yes. But I put him in the Juggernaught armor and now he is gorgeous. Ghavrel - 03/01/2010 03:46:07 AM 601 Views

Awesome game. <3 Loghain. FACISM FTW *NM* Urza - 02/01/2010 04:55:09 AM 407 Views
I'm surprised you don't like Sten more, then. Loghain makes me think of the false Dragon. Ghavrel - 03/01/2010 03:46:52 AM 704 Views

At least in Dragon Age you don't have to take your party members out to dinner beetnemesis - 02/01/2010 06:23:43 PM 646 Views
In Dragon age, Can you Dine in Hell? LadyLorraine - 02/01/2010 10:19:31 PM 722 Views
Yes. Kind of. *NM* Ghavrel - 03/01/2010 03:48:32 AM 341 Views
if you're finding Grand Theft Auto to be that much more awesome LadyLorraine - 02/01/2010 10:18:56 PM 639 Views
I would think so. GTA is entertaining to me...but only for about 3 hours. Brian - 03/01/2010 12:54:06 AM 774 Views

Good enough to warrant the coveted 7 out of 5 exclamation points, I see. *NM* Ghavrel - 03/01/2010 03:48:07 AM 376 Views
I'm playing this, as well. Mats Gambling Buddy - 03/01/2010 03:42:09 PM 707 Views

My kids are playing this. PhotoJim - 03/01/2010 04:21:27 PM 717 Views
I've been playing it now for the past couple days LadyLorraine - 05/01/2010 02:28:35 AM 683 Views
Really? (minor spoilers) Aemon - 05/01/2010 03:07:51 AM 847 Views
I don't mean he IS the perfect man LadyLorraine - 05/01/2010 06:54:20 AM 675 Views
Yeah, he didn't set off my gaydar either. Ghavrel - 05/01/2010 08:29:39 AM 610 Views
Well I did give one example. Aemon - 06/01/2010 12:22:09 AM 582 Views

Yep, mages are pretty overpowered. Aemon - 06/01/2010 12:27:45 AM 578 Views
Am I the only person to play a rogue? Backstabbing is amazing. Ghavrel - 07/01/2010 06:07:20 AM 673 Views
I found rogues required too much micro-managing. Aemon - 13/01/2010 06:37:08 AM 590 Views
Right. That's why you play one as your main character, doofus! Ghavrel - 13/01/2010 07:35:30 PM 672 Views
My first playthrough was as a Dwarf Commoner rogue. *NM* Mats Gambling Buddy - 23/01/2010 10:04:23 PM 376 Views

How can you say that your choices don't make a difference? PhotoJim - 13/01/2010 12:49:54 AM 672 Views
I think Morrigan has my favorite line...and such a random one LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 08:16:55 AM 650 Views
I almost got this today, but I got Darksiders instead (which I'm loving). Nebhead - 09/01/2010 10:25:16 PM 1044 Views
Dragon Age has massive dialogue. Even occasionally I find it excessive. Ghavrel - 10/01/2010 01:19:20 AM 607 Views
I've heard it's not as good on console. Can anyone comment? *NM* MonCul - 16/01/2010 08:37:29 AM 350 Views
I just don't see how you'd be able to play it effectively on console without taking a LONG time. Ghavrel - 16/01/2010 09:37:30 PM 629 Views
It kind of sucks on the console. Extremely buggy and frustrating. Cymbaline - 18/01/2010 04:07:11 AM 847 Views
