Dragonage: Orgins
Nov. 8th, 2009 09:33 amStarted playing Dragonage the new game by Bioware and I have to say I'm really enojying it so far. There are three different species you can be human, elf and dward and each one has 2 subsets which you can choose from giving a total of 6 different backgrounds. Each one starts out differently so if you choose to be a Noble human for instance you have one opening scene but if you choose to be a City elf(like I did) you get a different opening story. These stories change slightly depending on whether or not you are a male or female as well.
Each race and subset has it's own starting skill sets as well though you can learn them later if you so desire. I choose the City elf as they started with persuation and I wanted that and stealing from the start as they always make life easier. I also choose them because they gave you the surname of Tabris, I couldn't be anyone else after seeing that.
There are tons of sidequests in this game which is never a bad thing in my opinion and from what I hear the downloadable content that is available at the moment adds another 35 hrs of gameplay on top of what is already there.
Lastly I checked out the romance options for having a male and female main. The female gets two guys and one girl love interest and the male gets 2 girls and one guy love interst(maybe theres hope for this in Mass Effect 2 after all).
Plus if you are planning to play Mass Effect 2 there is a code with the game for a suit of armour that can be used both in this game and Mass Effect when it comes out.
