i must say, i missed playing games such as balder’s gate, neverwinter nights and so forth and have not played them in yeeeears. then recently bioware released a game called dragon age. to be honest i never followed it during the making of it. then when it got released some people were going on about it and i was curious as to how it was.
so last night i decided to buy it and try it out for myself. let’s just say as i write this blog i want to be playing it more now! i have probably played about 7 hours of it and am loving it!

you get to choose only from 3 classes and 3 races but each race and class has their own beginning story line i am guessing. i am playing an elf mage right now. and to me it seems as though if i chose one of the other classes i would not have been doing the things my mage would be doing. i am trying not to spoil the story or anything but i will try my best not to!

the story line so far is awesome, keeps you very much wanting to play to be knowing what’s going to happen next! the graphics are amazing and the character details are life like in the sense you can customize the face, hair and everything to your liking.
the game play is just like your old baldur’s gate type where you can pause the game and plan your moves according to the situation. the movement is a little bit different where you can either use the mouse to click or you can use the keyboard to run around. what makes it stand out apart from baldur’s gate and neverwinter nights is, using the keyboard makes you feels like you are part of the battles and not just sitting back. you could even not use the pause button and fight in real-time. that makes it much much more challenging!

but yeah, this is probably such a crap little review of the game, haha, i shouldn’t become a reviewer of anything i guess.
