So i’ve been playing a bit of Dragon Age: Origins lately. Ok, if we were to define “a bit” as 30 hours, then most likely i’ve been playing “a tad”. Now if “a tad” would be 50 hours, then i think i’ve played a tad and a half a bit. Yeah, been playing Dragon Age: Origins for about 68 hours now and i’m barely 30% in the main story, as the game quaintly says on my ‘Heroic Achievements’ page. Sweet Jesus, i don’t think i’ve played a game this long since Morrowind, and Morrowind was pretty much a summer affair of playing 24/7 for three months. Though, as Morrowind, i’m liking Dragon Age.

Quite a lot actually. Even though initially i was very put off by the ‘multi-party’ system, and a lot of flashbacks to Baldur’s Gate 2, i’ve managed to get a handle on it, and while initially the game was mindbendingly hard, seems i’ve now tamed the beast and find the battles to be between normal and challanging. While the game really does span a long way and has a lot to do in it, i would have appreciated if they would have split that over multiple areas, in a larger map. Initially when i saw the map i was already imagining going to the Free Marches or south in the Wildlands, and even beyond. Sadly, our adventures take place just in our little ’county’ of Ferelden (i hope i got that right, since i totally suck with remebering names).

I won’t say much here since i’ll prolly devolve and start making a review.. on a game i have not even finished. And that’d be unprofessional. :p The review will be up when it will be up, and as for the rest of the list.. The Void, Modern Warfare 2, Torchlight and all the other games that will come out between now and when i finish it, they will have to wait in line like good little games.

Anyhows, i got monsters to kill, loot to plunder and men to shag!

 … Yes, i’m playing a female char.
