Dragon Age Thread (NO SPOILERS) - Page 2

We have spoiler tags for a reason. And people are usually pretty good about using them.

I saw no reason for two threads, provided people remain civil. It's worked for plenty of other threads. It can for this one too. Creating two threads was borderline paranoid.

We've run two threads for the last few major RPG releases (fallout 3 was the last one, they still exist).

And the obvious problem with merging a spoiler and non-spoiler thread is that all the spoiler comments are not tagged, and it is therefore unreadable to anyone who does not want to be spoiled.

Tuco · 11-17-2009, 03:33 PM

1. The non-spoiler thread had spoiler thread had a bunch of spoilers in it and there was parallel discussion.
2. You shouldn't be reading threads on an RPG before you beat it, being stuck is part of the game and you have to shy from the teet of wowhead. Play the game the way it is meant to be enjoyed, then do all sorts of goofy shit in the second play through.

Sorry for merging the threads though, this can be the spoiler free thread if you guys want.

Actually if you read Tuco Edict #2 hes actually telling you how to play games, not what to read.

Good. So where's the no-hat mod at? Morrigan's got her massive rack showing through her robes yet her face is covered more than a woman's in downtown Tehran. Wtf mate. I've ended up going no-helm at all for her and a few others due to the terrible look of it.

A lot of people come into an Other Games thread for questions like "Is it any good?" "PC or console?" "Will my computer run this?" etc etc, or for just general opinions on the quality of the game.

Tuco · 11-17-2009, 04:58 PM

That's a good point, Mek.

For those people reading this, this game is one of the top 10 best PC RPGs ever and the best RPG this year.

Is there an equivalent to the tab button from the PC version (highlight interactables on screen) for the PS3? A buddy of mine is playing the PS3 version and from texting with him he is clearly missing things.

In a way...in the options screen you can set make "all lootable objects" glow, and all lootable objects include all interactive items/codex pickups/etc.

Soygen · 11-17-2009, 06:14 PM

Bringing up the radial menu on the console version will bring up the names of any interactive objects. Just bring up the menu and look around and you'll see.

Did anybody else get an e-mail today from Amazon saying, essentially, "Oops, we fucked up, not enough CEs to go around, so your order is canceled?" I'm not thrilled about that, though I do feel less stupid for having run out and bought the regular version. Did other retailers have similar problems, or is Amazon just unreliable on the CE front these days?

Ham n Cheese · 11-17-2009, 06:44 PM

+1 for new thread. I was about to click the other thread, couldn't find it and ended up here. I vote this thread stays!

Tuco got bored and remembered he was a mod. Bad combo

Qhue · 11-18-2009, 05:08 AM

Thanks for the PS3 assistance. I tried to get him to get the PC version and even showed off a few of the addons that the community has in the pipes, but this is a guy who thinks PCs are just for facebook and typically only plays Madden on his PS3 so having him really ingrossed in a game like this says quite a bit about the craftsmanship that went into it.

Still cant believe there isnt a hats-free mod yet. Some of the helms are just so godawful.
