Started off as a Mage, and this game is A LOT faster let me tell you, within the first 5 minutes I had notched up around 30 Darkspawn kills at least! You can still pause the battle though, so you don't really get overwhelmed, I found it more manageable than DA:O, it just felt smoother giving commands to your party members saying that I didn't have a look at the tactics interface so maybe there will be no need to micromanage your team what so ever if that has been updated too.
Graphics are (Like I said at the start) shiny and new! Effects are more spectacular now, and characters now seem to have emotion on their faces too, plus the main character has............found a voice! I find you get more connected to a main character if they are more animated and involving, instead of just silence when you pick options from a list, in fact you can look at it more like Mass Effect now conversation wise, things aren't so grey anymore as in the first game, you can choose Nice - Funny/Sarcastic - Evil/Aggressive and investigate through conversation trees.........JUST LIKE MASS EFFECT. So you have a main character who has personality, and a beard.
So to sum up, I played the PC version, loved it, no slowdown or glitches that I found, played as a mage and it was very enjoyable. The ONLY problem I had is that everything I killed with my magic just exploded, which is great at first, but when EVERYTHING is exploding, you lose the novelty. Saying that it was the first 5 minutes of the game, and if you play the demo you will understand too that it won't be like that for the whole game.
Went to download the XBox demo the other night but got trolled by the 'Gold members only' thing. Hoping it's gonna be up on the PSN, but I have yet to check. So this awesome PC you have, you say it crashed?
ReplyDeleteWell it was acting up since I put some new thermal paste on the processor so I thought it was that, turns out 2 of the screws had come out of the motherboard and it caused it to bend at one corner, thus messing up the Ram and processor. Luckily when I screwed it in all secure it has worked the best it ever has since :-D
ReplyDeleteSo yes, it's awesome :-P
