You people with long load times; I wonder how much memory you guys have. I'm running 8GB and my load times are fast no matter how long I play. Not to mention I'm using a 10k HDD.
The easy mode on this game makes it very very very easy. I don't know how much easier it could possibly be. (In response to someone wanting a 'god-mode') |

While playing DAO on my windows 7 64 bit game rig both my cores are running at 100% and I'm using 3.4GB out of 8GB of memory. My cpu is running at 4.32GHz per core. The game runs awesome, loads quickly and never stutters.

Is the war dog worth keeping once Leliana shows up? I now have the main char, Alistair, Morrigan and the dog...

War Dogs can take a whole lot more abuse than Rogues. A War Dog is good for getting the enemies attention while Rogues backstab from the back and mages fire upon them from afar.

rogues make this game hard to play... mages make even nightmare easy as hell - cone of cold is jut ridiculously ott.
Im pretty sure that rogues are the most underpowered class in the entire game in terms of damage/stun/crowd control abilities. They basically do nothing but open locks, and die on a regular basis. I gave up on my rouge character when I realized that alistair with dual wield did as much damage with dual wield as my rogue did despite better weapons and backstabs. And he had 50% more hp even with 4 points less in constitution. Started a dual wield warrior beserker/reaver and its been awesome so far. - playing nightmare lvl.

The rogues advantage is stealth. They can disappear in the middle of fight to take another stab or, walk right in front of all the enemies to disable the traps before an assault. A rogue is valuable to have but, in terms of combat, they have to be babied.

As far as traps do absolutely nothing in terms of harm to the players - even on nightmare. Theyre more of an inconvenience. I just kind run through and set them all of with the meat shield lol.

Some traps keep you from moving which allows other enemies to attack without retribution.

I played this game for half an hour at my cousin's house. And I have to say Oblivion is way better, and look better, and it's 2 years older.
The actions are choppy, and felt like robots, not dynamic, i'm talking about the character moving, everything felt so slow. I were expecting something like rolling, jumping, running, while holding a bow and killing stuffs. IMO, this game is boring, and sleepy. I can't comment about the story 'cause i played under 30mins.

With my computer I can max the game out without any issues. This game and Oblivion are two completely different beasts. This game isn't designed to be a single player (no party) First-personish type view like Oblivion was. This game isn't supposed to be a huge open game where you can run anywhere you like. I just seems that Dragon Age isn't your type of game, nothing wrong with that. I just think you should give it more than a half hour. The start of the game is a tad slow, but things do pick up after a good 1-1.5 hours. |

This is more of the 'traditional' on-a-rails rpg. Its like a book that tells a story where you get to decide what happens... throw some crazy group brawling into the mix, and make many combinations of fighting styles, spells, enemies, weapons... make it extra bloody, and voila. RPG. Great, addictive, fun characters, good visuals. Oblivion is much more of an immersive story, and I agree that, overall, it is a better game. My life was pretty much on hold with oblivion lol. But this game definitely has its place among the greats.

The game can't address more than 4 GiB total because it is 32-bit. Ever time I checked, the memory usage was between 1-1.5 GiB.

very interesting,,, however, total memory usage with the additional programs runing, such as WCG Cruncher and many many others in the background, its a rare thing to see 8gb half way full,,so every time i do it makes me feel like 8gb is not overkill and is a worthy investment

If anyone has an interest in the Digital Deluxe version for cheap, send me a PM. I just do NOT have time to get into this game. I shouldn't have bought it.
