as long as it is console/single player onl y it will never be bigger and better, this game is clearly a game that is meant to be played online, they need to put it on pc. A solid turnement mode and ranking could make it a great mmog.

if you havent heard the news, these days you can play online on consoles too.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

I know exactly...FFXI has been doing that for 8 yrs now and its damned well done!  Best storyline in any MMO thus far...

Just sharing my opinion and experience here. FFXI might have had story but it was hardly captivating, nothing about the world or game was all that interesting either. Starting out punching rabbits didn't draw me in, clunky movement, and to repeat. the story...well, wasn't all that interesting.

Before you assume. I do enjoy the FF series, I started my experience at 7 and have played up to 12. 11 just didn't feel like final fantasy, neither did 12 or 9, but that's a different story.  So "bringing story for the first time", I believe they should change it to "Bringing the true story experience for the first time".

9 was more final fantasy than 7 was, but you wouldnt know that cuz u started at 7.
 

I just thought it was funny when zevran tried to hit on my male character and then i had to reject him and then he betrayed me later.  Only in bioware rpgs.

Dragon Hype...errr...Age. Two words. Memory leak. It will leak out of my memory hopefully faster than it leaked into my PC's memory. Another Lie-o-ware commercial milk run. RIP the real Bioware. Why is this console crap of an offline crpg even brought up here ffs??? Please.

What do u mean console crap, the gameplay is more like old school PC rpg like baldurs gate which I like.

Has anyone else gave it any thought that Dragon Age may eventually become a mmo hence part of the undisclosed reason why Bioware wanted this game advertised on this site ? Bioware even said themselves that The Old Republic may not be the only mmo they work on. 

 

The way DA:O is atm, it could never work as a mmo.

But warcraft did and it was a real time strategy game.

I'll go first.

1.) Is there any good way to avoid traps? My guys kind of have a mind of their own and aren't smart enough to avoid them (well so far at least).

2.) I heard that most of the decisions you make in this game lead to neutral or bad results. So far my noble human has been trying to get along nice with every other character of importance. However, when I see a way to make a quick buck/item I sometimes choose the least diplomatic route regarding npcs that seem relatively unimportant (kennel master and quarter master for instance). In the case of these 2 characters does being a jackass have the better pay off or should I have gone more diplomatic? Does your choices with these seemingly unimportant npcs effect how your partner's think of you? (every single decision you made in mass effect contributed to Paragon or Renegade points for instance). I was wondering if the choices you make in Origins, even to relatively unimportant npcs, add up like in the whole good or evil, paragon or renegade sort of thing like Mass Effect.

buggy? I think its just your PC cuz im having a blast in the game, no bugs here.

Old Republic, Final Fantasy 14 and Guild Wars 2

this game is directed at casual gamers not bioware gamers this game is guna be lame this game was guna be good but the effect to instant revive if u die is bs, then the game looks easy and by the videos it looks easy the only time u seem to die is when u got 20 ppl firing at u (troop video) and also straight after he could revive himself on the spot this is guna be like starwars covered in cushions

idiot, that instant revive was a developer command, players wouldnt be able to do that.

The games story is designed for people like you, thats why they set it 300 years after kotor and thousands years before the movies.  Plus you can watch those timeline videos for backstory.

There are indeed many people in the west who lack any sense of imagination. If it doesn't have the generic typical fantasy features they won't touch it. To me, that's not what fantasy is about. I like fantasy because it lets me experience new worlds and settings and yet for some reason many people only want to experience what they are already familar with.
Just look at the huge amount of western mmorpgs that have an already existing IP.

Where did you get this strange idea I hate everything western developers do and I have a love for generic f2p korean games? Unfortunately, you're not the first to say that and probably won't be the last.

I don't hate the creations of western developers, I dislike many of them because of their lack of imagination as far as world settings are concerned. I'm dissapointed that many treat fantasy not as something that is only limited by imagination, but as something that should stick to the things invented by Tolkien and Dungeons and Dragons.

Take The Saga of Ryzom as an example, just look at the setting. Look at how different and unique it looks. Unfortuantely, games like that are the exception, not the rule.

I don't have a love for generic f2p korean games. I don't play those very often. What I am doing is defending them from incorrect claims and stereotypes.

To be perfectly honest, I think you're a bloody fool. Making a good fantasy setting or world isn't about making it magical or unique or even interesting, it's about holding up a mirror to the world, and showing you a face of it you haven't seen before. Eastern games don't do that, or at least don't do that for the Western world, I mean, take a look at Aion.

There's nothing special about Korean games, they're boring, colourful and crappy. Get over it.

Bioware, despite EA making a dog's arse of the publishing and marketing, appear to have created a brilliant setting and a very well designed and polished game. Show me an Eastern game that does that. ( And if you say Aion, I will lol. )

Ofcourse Fantasy setting is about making it magical, unique or interesting. Here, this is the very first definition of Fantasy:

imagination, esp. when extravagant and unrestrained.

Creating the same generic fantasy realm over and over again is not imaginative, especially when the games aren't even set in the same realm. They are not unrestrained either as they are all chained to already existing fantasy cliches.

To compare DE to games like Aion is silly. Aion is an mmorpg, Dragon Age is an offline roleplaying game. Ofcourse there is a bigger focus on world and storytelling in an offline mmorpg. You can say what you want about Aion, at least NCsoft didn't rely on the old orcs and elves or on an already existing IP.

To show you eastern games with much more unique world? For that you need to look no further than Squaresoft games before they merged with Enix.

Take a look at Chrono Cross, Legend of Mana or Final Fantasy X.

Look at the Architecture, the character design and storytelling, look at how different and unique it looks. Final Fantasy X may not be the best Final Fantasy from a gameplay perspective, but in my opinion it is the best one in terms of world and character design. It was a new place with its own look, people and traditions.
