Dragon Age: Origins. For mature audiences only. Notice the number 18.I wanted to write about how brilliant Dragon Age is and all that but alas... my modem at home has died. Looks like I'm be buying another router this evening.
Anyway, Dragon Age is the reason why I have failed to update these two weeks.
I didn't really care about it at first but there were bold claims attached to the game. Like "the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate." And one review said it was "the RPG of the decade."
It made me roll my eyes. Lots of RPG games have come out since Baldur's Gate in 1998 and none of them can even come close to the Baldur's Gate in terms of the epicness of it's backstory and the lore.
Well, I've been playing it for more than a week and yes, it's close to the Baldur's Gate series. Heck, it might even be slightly better in fact. It feels like it. And it plays kind of like it.
Unfortunately, the other thing it inherited from the Baldur's Gate series is the occasionally excessive load times.
Nevertheless, Dragon Age is brilliant and a must try for RPG fans. You won't regret it.
A word of caution though. The game is rated M and some of the things you encounter in the story can be rather... disturbing. But that's why Dragon is Awesome, among other things.
I'd write more but I'm at work and getting quite busy...
Hopefully, I can find a cheap wireless router later today.
