Dragon Age 3

[Fusa]

yes the whole story line as of yet is amazing. The specialization are great=)

35 hours. Level 14. Went with Knight Enchanter specialization, and it's pretty fun. Basically a melee mage. Plays very differently from how I've played up to this point.

I went back to Hinterlands to finish it off. Cleared everything except the dragon before I went Knight-Enchanter. Wiped at 25%. As a KE, I killed him pretty easily with Cassandra, Iron Bull, and Varric. It was a long, epic fight though. The dragon and boss fights in this game are insanely fun.

The KE is just a beast. I have a 110 dps staff (item level 16, req lvl 13) which I found at a vendor. It's so much better than even the higher level stuff I'm finding -- including the epic 96 dps staff (req lvl 15) that I got off the dragon. The staff I was using before was like 62 dps, so pretty big upgrade.

I continue to be blown away by how big this game is. The amount of voice acted dialog is ridiculous too. I think I had like a 30 min chat with Josephine the other night exploring all the different dialog options.

I'm starting to get into crafting now too. Really well done again. Been able to craft some pretty sick armor.

Well y'all just about have me sold. Is the deluxe edition worth the extra $$?

[Fusa]

I would say no grupp, thought I fully dont understand what the mounts are/do but I think some give more resistance to fall off ( or need to take more fall dmg before kicking you off)

really other that riding a unicorn I dont see anything worth the xtra 10$ if* you wanted to save it, you will still get all the stuff you need (mounts etc) and the things you get from the deluxe are definitely not game changing or retardly overpowered. you get some starter items that you upgrade at lvl 4

[Gogan]

It's definitely an amazing game, Grupp. I had extremely high expectations for it, and it's surpassing even those. Totally agree with Fusa though -- definitely not worth paying for the deluxe.

I highly recommend finishing DA1 and DA2 before playing DA3 though. It's not that you'd be lost without playing the previous games -- DA3 stands on its own just fine. There are tons of references to the previous games though, and the choices you've made in them have repercussions in DA3. You'll enjoy the hell out of those moments if you played through DA1 and 2. Alternatively, you can go through Dragon Age Keep to select all the important decisions from the first two game that you can then import into DA3.

Very cool. I still have both my finished saves from 1 and 2. Thanks for the feedback gentlemen

Nope. I did buy it. I should get the time to play it in about a week. Got busy with lots of stuff suddenly. Looking forward to playing it more and more as I see more good things said about it.

Thanks for the link Yoox, got it.
