[quote]Now, anyone care to talk about Dragon Age again?

(HINT)


Give me about a week...I'm holding off installing until the new vid card arrives. This is not easy, I have a copy or Dragon Age sitting on my desk.... :wink:

::uses slight of hand to steal Gecko's DAO DVD out of the box and replaces it with a burned copy of Hello Kitty Online::

I seriously need to scrounge some change so I can get me a copy. MW2 and L4D2 busted my budget for this month.

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!

Well, Christmas came early for me yesterday...look what the elves dropped off... :D




Nice packaging. Am I the only one who finds Asus' new slogan a tad disturbing?



The beast! This is the most elegantly packaged piece of computer hardware I have ever purchased. Looks more like the kind of packaging you'd expect from buying some premium 30 year old scotch.



This thing is massive. Here's my old X1800XT in comparison. I'm using an Antec P183 case and I had to flip my main HDD upside down in the drive bay in order for the card to fit. Even so, it did so just barely.



Loaded the drivers and fired it up, it looks great. I think there's work to be done on the drivers yet, as Risen looked hilarious. The textures on the buildings move as you look around, weird.

I loaded Dragon Age last night and it looks fantastic! Maxed everything and it's smooth as silk. Just started the game and so far so good...this game looks promising. Still getting used to the relatively fixed camera angles (coming from Risen).

Now I'm off to play Hello Kitty again...

I got this for 40 at EB. It was in store. The computer said 40 and they could not figure out why so that is what I paid. 8)

Sounds like someone misplaced a decimal point in the computer.

Been too busy playing AC2 and going out this past week that I haven't gotten around to playing recently. ;_;

Going through the Stone Prisoner DLC atm and [spoilers]: is there any way to save the girl besides having high coercion/cunning?

Also, WTB spoiler tags PST

Yes, You can lie, solve the puzzle then not turn the girl over, but you'll have to fight the demon

I'm well into the game and I'm loving it thus far. Did the Warden's keep and I'm now in Redcliffe.

Thanks for continuing to hide the spoilers in this thread!

Great game. It's everthing Oblivion wasn't.

This gets my game of the year award personally.

Heck it's not even my kind of game (normally hate having to micromanage) but it all comes together so well, the story is really engaging, it looks amazing, the soundtrack is fantastic, the characters are wonderful and it's soooo addictive.

2009 has been an absolutely fantastic year for games.

COD:MW2, RE5, Infamous, DoW2, Killzone 2, Trine, Batman AA, SFIV, Brutal Legend, Halo 3 ODST, Uncharted 2, Pokemon Platinum, Prototype, Borderlands, Torchlight,
