You lied to me, Sup Forums. this game fucking sucks balls

you lied to me, Sup Forums. this game fucking sucks balls.

Let me guess, you just barely got out of lothering your party is still Alistair, Morrigan and Leliana, and you're playing an archer.

fuck you

remove yourself from this earth immediately

>playing an archer

by far the most fucking boring build. At least a warrior gets to draw aggro and stun shit, the archer clicks once and autos until everything dies, maybe occasionally using a skill despite it being worse than just continuing to AA

Except the same old shit "find people to team up with and beat the vilain" like every bioware game (except DAOII) it's nice mate. Even the addon is great

i've been trying to finish it since i bought it five years ago, never have
it just stops being fun about five hours in

get outta my fucking head, bro

>That story transition going from an epic to a mystery
>The mystery actually has a really good reveal that affects the entire lore of the series
>Completely lacks the trash fights of the base game
>Deep roads gets a second lease on life and is actually great
>Nathaniel Hower is an 11/10 companion if you're a human noble

I'm 4 hours in.

I've been in like 2 fights so far. everything else is fucking dialogue and cut scenes.

Of course it sucks. Its a bioware game.

also, the camera controls suck, the party management is awful, and combat is clunky as hell

the game can't decide if it wants to be a third person real time combat game or an isometric RPG with turn-based/pause gameplay

I played the KotOR games and liked them so when I saw this on sale I thought I'd give it a shot, since Sup Forums says the sequels are trash but the original was okay

I wouldn't touch anything Bioware released since 2012. I could even smell Hamburger Hepler's stink in a bunch of the KotOR dialogue, with all the "poor oppressed aliens" stories

Dragon Age Origins is a really fun game and there's a lot of fun builds you can do for your characters and team combinations but there are some pitfalls that are notably less fun than the rest.

If you're on PC download the respec mod and go for a melee class. I recommend dual wield regardless of if you're a rouge or warrior. I played through as that my first run and had a lot of fun.
Branch out and try different teammates. Sten is an 11/10 if you can figure out how to get his approval. Everyone thinks Wynne is shitty at first but if you keep her around and figure out whats going on with her she has some of the more involved companion content. Basically as long as you do a mage, probably a tank, and not the standard 3 party members you'll have a great time.
And the game has a really long start, the Origins into Ostagar into Lothering is a pretty long stretch and although it's pretty good in my opinion the fact that you can't come back and do anything later is tiresome, it really, and I mean really picks up after you leave lothering, the least exciting place you could go is the deep roads but that would at least have all the Orzammar stuff before it which is good

Also there's a lot more sidequests than you think but don't play the game looking at the wiki until a replay.

>Everyone thinks Wynne is shitty at first

>If you're on PC download the respec mod and go for a melee class

>Not playing an arcane warrior and doing all the tanking, healing and damage yourself so you can run whatever strange party you want

Fuck awakening is so fucken buggy

>not wanting to be a king

>Implying I didn't sacrifice myself to set my mage bros free

I've consistently run into it over the course of years of Dragon Age threads.

Play Dragon Age: Inquisition

it was like The Witcher 3, and Skyrim, and an MMO, and a BioWare RPG

If he's an archer he's stuck as non magic and dual wield is also pretty fun.

always hated how easy it was to avoid hard choices in this game.

>implying they weren't usually people agreeing with Zevran that Wynne is fucking hot

It's a pause and play heart beat rpg.

Yeah but there's always that one person who ditched her before they find out she's terminal and are just like "why the fuck did they put an old lady into the game.

>This dumb piece of shit watches you take out groups that vastly outnumber you
>You fight your way out of the fade single handed and brave the deep roads
>Thinks he can betray and jump you with just himself and some no bodies

>Gets betrayed in a DA game

Nigger do you even try to companion?

Seriously, Shale is the only acceptable betrayal, because Golems

Do his quests guy.

I played it 7 times on xbox with over the shoulder camera and controls before playing it on PC with isometric camera and baldur's gate controls. It works for both desu senpai

>Third person real time
That's only doable in baby difficulty modes. If you're a real man you're pausing every action and making every decision yourself.

I don't min/max companion shit like that, me and him just don't get along.

>using Shale at all
>a HK-47 clone but without everything that made HK fun

>Third person real time
>That's only doable in baby difficulty modes.
>If you're a real man you're pausing every action and making every decision yourself.

oh.

This game had god tier porn mods

nexus has basically no scenes for female elf warden, should I be looking on loverslab?

this game had a great conditions and triggers system for your AI party
are there any other games that do this?

>tfw Ostagar with nude mod

...

>tfw Arcane Warrior Master Race

>rouge

>tfw dual-wielding Reaver/Berserker/Spirit warrior

>fucking dialogue and cut scenes
Gee, I wonder if you might be playing a STORY BASED ROLE PLAYING GAME.

>it gets better after 160 hours

Name one (uno) RPG that has a great beginning.

Skyrim

>Skyrim
>rpg

>tfw Morrigan is the only thing they didn't ruin somehow, even in DA:I

She truly is the best and the love of my life.

Warden is still alright, if only because they've left them the fuck out of the plot.

I don't know how the fuck I got 200 hours in that game, considering I don't think it's that fun or interesting to begin with. Probably because it is slow as molasses.

>install nudey mods
>unequip everyone at the end of ostagar so I don't lose the shit
>suddenly erect dicks
k

Do the nude mods do something about those absolutely atrocious character models? I mean Hafthor Björnsson isn't as broad-shouldered as Morrigan, and I haven't seen tits as saggy as the women in DA has, and I work in elderly care.

How the heck do I make this game fun? I think I've played through every origin and never made it past meeting the blood mage guy

I don't care. I've had way more fun in Skyrim than DA:O.

arcane warriors take a while to get gud. The early levels can be rough.

>literally an hour of set pieces + an hour of creating your character

AND ITS GETTING PORTED TO PC

>I dont like common characteristic of rpgs
>name an rpg you like
>I dont like rpgs
Oh look, a whiny faggot.

Give examples please

I couldn't tell you. I guess you have to like the combat mechanics and fiddling with companion AI, two things that I absolutely loathed.

Archers get some retarded broken abilities in Awakening. They even start to pass up bloodmage/arcane warriors, like Howes son will start to just kill everything before you can even get started

rigor mortis

I'm fucking ass at this game, I can't seem to hit shit with warrior. I've beaten the game on normal, but I feel like the tougher enemies drive me insane with the amount of MISS that pops up.

Passing up mana clash? no way

You have too low str/dex so your attack score is shit.. Warrior is shit though, especially 2 handers.

Warrior is just bad all around? Also I constantly pumped into str/dex and still suffered a shitton of misses
I've never had this problem in other games with this kind of combat, I think it just hates me
also the final boss is a fucking slog, been playing this game since it came out damn near a decade ago and I still fucking hate the Arch demon fight.

Best warrior build is a tank build, but arcane warriors an also tank. Rogues have better melee dps and are better archers, so warriors can't really compete there. Dual wielder is probably the best dps warrior build, two handers basically have nothing going for them except being invulnerable to stuns.

Too bad you have to jump through 6 gorillion hoops to get Arcane Warrior easily
Why the fuck is there no NG+

...

After you unlock it once you have it unlocked from the start every game.

I'm 16 hours in, doesn't get any better, game is 7/10 at best.

It takes like 20-30 minutes to get to Lothering

And boring as shit

Flemeth was great as always
She and Wynne are the only grandmas I'd fug

>adhd degenrates will never feel the joy of rpgs

Feels good man

a part of adhd also includes autist like laser focus. We play rpgs just fine when we like them.

Nigger, you're playing an RPG and complaining about dialogues? You're fucking cancer.

>it was like The Witcher 3, and Skyrim, and an MMO, and a BioWare RPG
You actually think that sounds good?

I just dumped into magic and used the blood dragon armour. That immediately solved the armour and HP issues I had at early game.

*got

how evil can you be? is it worth a run?

I am a moralfag and I found some stuff quite gruesome. You can be an evil bastard in most of the side quests and main story

I like having old fucks as party members. They're usually wise and know a bunch of shit, plus the banter with younger companions is gr8

Then it should be right up your alley you absolute gaylord lmao

>bioware
that wasn't hard to predict

Very evil
I'd give examples but spoilers

you can genocide a tribe of elves.

You can kill an innocent dog for no reason.

Arcane Warrior / Blood Mage
It just works so well

It was never all that good. It was just okay in a droute of RPGs

Holy fuck you are a faggot, just stick to Final Fantasy.

>so many sustained abilities you have no mana bar
>cast spells with hp
It's just such a ridiculously op combo

I played Warrior the first time, i went Reaver

I beat the game but my character sucked ass

What is the most broken OP build in the game and Awakening (which i havent played before)?

Is it actually Arcane Warrior? How the hell do i build for it? Do i need to be an elf to do it?

>A HK-47 clone
I-... I didn't see it like that... Woah now I am actually upset.

UNHOLY SHIT HAHA I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE
At any rate, both in Leliana's Song and Ostagar, seeing dead, naked, defiled corpses seem realistic to me, so that is ONE of the reasons (behind others) for me to install nude mods.

Choose mage
Spec into arcane warrior and bloodmage
Use spellweaver swors and either the shield that boosts attack or fadewall
Use the special dragonbone armor

Choose like 50 sustained passive abilities and run them all at once
