Generally in an RPG, who you choose as your party members is all about fighting strategy: Do I want to clobber my enemies faster, or keep my poor mage from dying all the time? Warrior, or healer? Hmm. In Dragon Age: Origins, your choice is more meaningful than that. Your party members have a direct influence on how the story progresses.
Now, I'm thinking of games like Final Fantasy VII or Eternal Sonata, where you choose who you want to use to fight, but still travel around with all your companions. Not so in Dragon Age. Due to come out this October from BioWare, Dragon Age's gameplay is pretty interesting. The characters you choose to travel with have importamt pasts and backstories. Which ones you choose can mean the difference between having to fight a powerful sorceress, for example, or getting to recruit her to your party. Having a female character as opposed to a male one can lead to uh... very
different means of getting past a guard, if you catch my drift. Every choice matters.
(And the graphics look amazing, to top it all off).
I can only imagine the replay value of this! There must be so many different choices and storylines, so many things you could have done differently that might mean having to keep changing fighting strategies, or seeing a completely different story. On the other hand, I know I'm a perfectionist: I always have to get all the side quests and random little things done... knowing that there are so many things I might have missed would drive me crazy.
Does this sound intriguing to you? Or are you more of a classic RPG style kind of person?

Looks like my kind of game. What is it being released onto? I hope the computer!
I hope it's not overhyped and it is what it advertises.
there was a really old super nintendo game that was exactly like this. i can't remember the title of it though. i just remember it was pretty mediocre. hopefully bioware can do better.
I like the sound of this!!!
@Liquid_Pain_523@xanga - Yes! Pc, Xbox, and PS3. Sorry, I should have specified lol.
@AznFier@xanga - Me too. ): But I don't remember seeing much hype about this, so there's hope!
I'm the same way, haha. I want to see everything the first time around.
I'm not an RPG person altogether, but I do like the idea that your party choices are more meaningful. Very cool, Yuliya.
I'm quite excited about it. I played most of the other Bioware stuff. This goes back to the Baulder's Gate and Neverwinter Nights Series. It will be more like them and less like their more recent stuff (i.e. KOTOR and Mass Effect.) From what I see, it looks amazing!
I read about this game a while ago. I'm kind of excited for it
It sounds awesome! What platform? I hope PS2 or PC. I'd prefer the PS2 though, because I'm afraid my laptop might not be able to handle the game's requirements. I'd say PS3, but seeing as we don't have one (yet!), I'd be resenting the game very much XD
Online capability? Sounds like there's only a single player campaign.
This game reminds me of tales of symphonia, except the fact that tales always plays out into the same ending, just different characters in your party. I kinda want to play it, though. I'm going to need a better PC or laptop.
Sounds incredible.
@Littoface@xanga - Yes! I can't wait! :D
I'm so excited! Why isn't it October yet?
Classic RPG? Like D&D?
I kid, but in all seriousness, this sounds like it could be awesome, or could really suck. I'll wait for the reviews. Because of their work on the Baulder's Gate series, I have some hope, but I'll not let that jade my views.
When playing games, I always have to get the side quests done too. This game would bug me so bad. I would play it multiple times and do different things each time just to see what I'm missing out on. And every time I would do something and I knew that there were different things I could've, it would never, ever, ever leave my head and it would keep saying "omg omg what if you did that differently... HA HA HA HA!"
that being said.this still looks like the most bad-a game in the entire world and I really want to play it.
This game looks fun! It reminds me of those books where every couple of pages you made a choice and it had the possiblity of changing the outcome of the story. Totally cool.
Looks. So. Good. Bioware is amazing.
@helloimorange@xanga -I'm
exactly like you! I rarely finish games because of that (case in
point.. ff9. I got SO sucked into the card game that I stopped playing
the storyline, and I never finished it. I was on the last disc, too...)
@bleujinxpwns@xanga - Oh yeah! It really does. : D
What console is this supposed to be on? It sounds like heaven to me.
@nicoleantonia@xanga - PS3, PC, Xbox. (:
