Dragon Age: Origins


That this game doesn't have multiplayer, is this true? It says on the box "Xbox 360 Live" on the Xbox 360 game case, so I assumed it would have online play. Especially since all new games have online now pretty much. I am beginning to have second thoughts on whether I should spend $50 on a game that has no multiplayer. Anyone else feel this way? I mean really, single player games are so boring, you can't play with friends, you can't meet interesting new people, you can't play custom made maps and mods, and once you beat the game, there is no point in playing it again (since it's single player only). I will still buy the game anyway, but it certainly isn't worth anything more than $20 since it doesn't have multiplayer. Of course, being a StarCraft: Brood War player for the past 9 years could have some impact on how I like multiplayer (since anyone who has played on Battle.net knows that it is the best online gaming service ever, and you'll never go back to single player only again). So, anyone else here think that BioWare should add multiplayer to the game?

Buy Dragon Age for PC, not 360.

RE: Mods, Dragon Age will have one of the largest modding communities over the next few years if the revised toolset and neverwinter community is anything to go by.

A friend of mine keeps telling me how great Neverwinter Nights and Neverwinter Nights 2 are. Perhaps I should finally buy those two games and we can play them together.

Unfortunately, my one year old laptop cannot handle this games minimum requirements so I'm forced to play to the XBox version.

EDIT: Scratch that my video card is one of the only things that does not meet the minimum system requirements. Which means the game will most likely run like crap. Also, it is recommended to have a quad-core processor.

As shock said you should buy it for your pc like i have done, DA origins is already shaping up to be as popular as oblivion was on its release, as like oblivion it will most likely grow to have a how pc modding fanbase and someone will probably bring out a mod that lets you play online.

Meh, i got it for xbox. I don't particularly mind the differences between PC and 360. (Mostly 'cos my PC can't handle it!) Though the mods look like they're going to be good, i can do without, although the good ones may come on to Xbox.

Besides, the campaign is so goddamn long. I've got 35+ hours, and it says I'm 25% through. And you'll want to replay just to see how it turns out as a different character.

Copy and paste this into your sig if you just wanted to copy and paste this.

Shiatty computers FTW! High five everyone!

Haven't bothered to check if it'll run on my PC(probably wont). Planning to get it or(and?) Borderlands next week.
