At las we can agree :). I havnt played DA but I do intend to if for no other reason than my love for Baldurs Gate. I have played Morrowind and Oblivion though and like you, an RPG without the MMO is just not the same. Even though I solo a lot I miss the interaction with other players even if its nothing more than a wave or hello.

it would but no multiplayer.

Multiplayer in a fantasy RPG is a highly overrated experience. I thank Bethesda daily for having no multiplayer in Oblivion or Fallout 3. The last thing I want to do is be questing and stop in the Imperial City to resupply and be surrounded by half naked people dancing and people yelling "DUAL ME FAGIT!" at me in chat.

Ummm you are just playing the wrong MMO....My MMO experiences arent like that. I stopped playing WoW a few years ago though.

Talking about LIVE here, not MMOs.

Thanks, I prolly will. Along with Oblivion. Best Buy has all these games really cheap

Oh ya and what about Mass Effect2? Will that be any good? I have read up on it and it doesnt make sense , is there NPC's in your party like DA:O or is it just you flying solo?

It's not an FPS. It's a third-person action RPG, but you can't control party members directly. Just issue commands via a radial menu.

 I have been wanting this game, but i don't want to spend so much on a game right now in the middle of the holidays.. now that they are over, maybe next paycheck or something and i will be playing also.

Um...It'll work the same way it worked in Mass Effect 1? (Which BTW you should pick up after you finish DAO, and after you beat ME pick up KotOR)

In Mass effect you have 2 npcs with you almost all the time. And you can switch to them just like other Bioware games. I just couldn't ever get into it that much because, for some reason shooting at things isn't as  much fun as swinging a sword at them.

I am enjoying Dragon Age as well, having a blast, in fact. If you like it though you should definitely check out their other titles, particularly Baulders Gate and Neverwinter Nights. With NWN, you can go out and download hundreds of player mods and be entertained for years, literally.

Planescape: Torment

I think I'll play you again.

If you like sci-fi, then try Bioware's Mass effect. It is very similar to how Dragon Age works. The music and plot-changing, interactive cut scenes (working in time together) will blow your hair back. You actually "feel" the game.

Sorry you got bored with the game. I gather you are too into online play. I have a friend like that in that he can't play single player games anymore. I like both and often I'll stop playing an mmo for a few days and the single player rpg is a great break from an mmo.

Diablo 3 is a different ball of wax as it is a action "rpg" rather than a story driven rpg. I'll be getting that too, I like mindless killing now and then ;-p

Oh yea Planescape: Torment is a gem!

I'm on my second play now, went Human Warrior first, going Mage now. And yes, Mage is much more enjoyable to play. D:

I feel sorry for you if you got bored 20% into DA. 

1st, you missed a GREAT game.

2nd, you need to get on some ADD meds or something.  How the heck do you get bored in DA? 

3rd, Maybe you name explains alot?  Possibly a switch to decaf might be in order?

I agree. Cool concept, but the game is getting boring. The Controls alone, is annoying. Also if they added a better interface, like Keyboard/Mouse, then this game could have reached Mutiplayer gameplay controls, which would rock for a game like this.

Also the Cut scenes are just too much. Its getting nerve wracking! This game could have been alot better.

The controls are just too slow and clunky for a game that is already slowed down by so many dam cut scenes.

Completely agree. Although,calling the conversations cutscenes isn't quite fair. For me, I just traded this game in after trying numerous times to sit down and get into the game since November. Every time I came to the overly long, ONE CAMERA ANGLE conversations I would start to lose focus and just became bored. On top of that, fighting wasn't really fun enough to draw me in either and I thought the landscape graphics paled in comparison to games like LOTRO, EQ2, AoC, or any FF game.

That being said, for the trolls and haters who will berate me, I am a huge fan of Baldur's Gate and Torment and even the icewind Dale games, but so far these newer Bioware games with too many conversation screens are driving me nuts and make me fear for SWTOR.
