Things I want to like: Dragon Age: Origins – Character introduction
Posted On Monday, September 28th, 2009 By Jay
Continuing with my Things I Like series, I’m going to take this post a little differently. I didn’t like the character introductions on the DAO website. At this point from Bioware, I know that they can write a good story. I know that have some pretty awesome cutscenes. What I want to see is game play footage. And beyond that I want to make sure that the game play footage is worth the 60 bucks I want to give Bioware or will I be waiting for the product to sell for 20 bucks on Steam. Oy!
Here are my reactions:
- Does Sex = adult content? Will I have the choice to not mate with the women in my party. Can I just mate with all of them at the same time?
- Does blood and violence = adult content?
- What kind of moral choices will I be making? *eagerly awaiting the response to this one*
- Will it ultimately matter? *damn well better. The choices I made in Mass Effect had little to no effect on the game world.*
- Is it a matter of killing or not?
- Will the thoughts and feelings of the inhabitants change by way of my actions? Or will NPCs just be missing from the world because I killed them?
- What kind of character can I make? I already know that I’m apart of an organization that saves the world all the time anyways. Well, at least I’m not androgynous with blue hair this time.
- Will the story be as… awesome as Mass Effect? I liked the beginning intro to the Reaver tech universe and the ending exposition by the former races hologram… that’s about it.
Most importantly, how will the story be told? Will I have to spend a boring 1-2 hours in the first hub world gathering information and listening to exposition or will I get to make the story as I go? Which style will Bioware choose?
At least I only have to wait about 2 months to find out!
