Nothing. It's shitposted on /v/ NOW by a crossfire of newer anons who don't understand the context of WHY we hate Bioware, and think it extends to all of their titles or think that Origins counts as a modern Bioware game because the rest of the series is pretty much pinnacle modern bioware. And autist CRPG purists who couldn't handle something different and better. With maybe a sprinkling of triggered Toddposters who just shitpost anything WRPG that isn't Bethesda.

But this use to a board favorite.

>Mfw revisionists try to make this into a massive problem
The company was bought by EA mid development of Origins. We're insanely lucky that one-off conversation is the extent of their influence on Origins main game. Not to mention any version you play now is the ultimate edition, and will immediately just be the natural dialogue surrounding the quest.

I for one wouldn't let some shitty imposing by a publisher ruin an otherwise perfectly good game.

In the age of Dragon, the blight started again, but there were further blights before that. They should explore ages before Dragon Age.

>>377568937
The point of the Dragon Age was to always explore the evolution of the age from the blight at the start to the dawn of the next age.

Something tells me thats long gone now though.

Only serious issue was the nonsensical event that starts the plot. Other than that it was a good compromise of old and new and a good starting point for what could have been a great series. Too bad they sacrificed the franchise by making a cheap, low production value sequel whose sole purpose was to make money fast to finance The Old Republic.

Fade is pure ludo, abusing the forms is great and as a maze/puzzle its honestly fantastic. Not to mention its a smaller part of the entire mage tower questline which has a lot of fun moments. So even if you for whatever reason hate the fade, its one small part of one main quest thats one small part of the game. The people who claim the fade ruins any chance of them playing the game have autism, its like 30-40 maximum

Deep Roads is actual bad video game design (This is almost exclusively where the too much trash critique comes from, there's even fucking trash bosses that have no real mechanics like the gangue shade and forgemaster) and drags on 5 times longer than the fade (On top of the fact that you've been looking at the underground aesthetic for several hours at this point in Orzammar and have already done a just alright dungeon in Lowtown). Even when the traveling through the fucking deep roads ends and you get to Cairidin it starts off with a wave by wave darkspawn trashfest and then fighting some golems, the forge was the only really decent fight. The choice between Cairidin and Branka was laughable because of how badly Branka was written, with zero characters siding with her other than Morrigan. Its not surprising that this part was written by Jennifer "Hamburger" Helper.

Anybody who calls the fade bad but doesn't even mention the deep roads is retarded.
>>
>>377568584
It still is, for the most part. And I agree, Bioware went downhill after being bought by EA. They made some of my favorite games ever (I still enjoy most of their games, but nothing compares to DA:Origins or Jade Empire) and it's sad watching them be overrun by people who want to push their own agenda, not to mention how much EA interferes in their games.

My only critique is that there's a guy who literally hangs out at your campsite and asks if you want to pay real money to go a big adventure with him.

It's a decent DLC, but having the product placement indefinitely follow your entourage around for the entire game had EA's fingers all over it.
>>
it's generic as FUCK, the game is like bare minimum effort in its settings, which makes it hard to play because gameplay is nothing special as always from Bioware, but Mass Effect at least had interesting races and lore as an incentive to for you to explore the galaxy

DA:O is just tolkien fantasy clichefest. I don't care about any character in this shit, or in the world itself

Just keep in mind the alignment system is a bit different.

It's not good/evil, but more strength/kindness. It is entirely possible to save the entire world and everyone in it while also being full closed-fist.

Beyond that, only non-spoiler advice is NEVER FUCKING EVER tell your companions to shut up or you don't want to hear about their bullshit. They actually listen and will never, ever speak to you again except during the main story, effectively canceling their sidequests/stories forever.

The vanilla skills could have been more interesting. A lot of the more interesting stuff isn't available until Awakening. Also, you pretty much have to run a mage in your party, so it would've been nice if the options weren't so polarized. Makes it difficult to feel good about actually roleplaying with your dialogue options.

I always feel this is a weird complaint. Its a traditional RPG, which means by definition you require at least one tank, at least one DPS, and at least one healer.

Since mages are the only class that can heal, yes you require a mage, but at the same time you also essentially require a rogue to open shit for you, and you also require a warrior since they're the only class that can tank besides mages late-game or NG+.

The problem is that the game could not keep me entertained to give a fuck. THis whole "human, elf, dwarf / warrior, rogue, mage" cookie cutter shit bored me to no end. Then we're dealing with the Darkspawn, what a generic horde of shit to fight against. I don't see the point of going on during the Fade, since the story was shit, the characters were shit, the setting is as lazy as they come, and just having generic fantasy but now with a racism against elves and mages simply isn't very enticing.

I don't know you tell me, does it say extremely generic piece of shit in the subtitle? Am I supposed to be impressed when they're doing the bare minimum and just marking the fantasy tropes checkboxes?

Mass Effect might have all kinds of issues, but the races were interesting, the Hanar, the space politics, all this tension between humans and other species, this shit gave a lot of color to the game, made my want to explore it, learn about how things worked. Then we're back with races that everyone and their mommas have in their IPs, classes that everyone and their mommas have in their games, and those shitty stereotypical party members such as "edgy witch cunt" hey but you can fuck her! Get the fuck out with this shit. Also the art style is drab as fuck and only help to make DA:O feel like a boring fucking turd.

I just finished Divinity: Original Sin EE, and that game has shitloads of classes, humorous dialogue, incomparably superior combat, and it's just 10 times more charming than DA:O, it's not me not enjoying CRPGs, it's Dragon Age: Origins being fucking boring, dull and uninteresting, and overrated on top of that.

For all their issues, I didn't regret playing DA2 and Inquisition.

And all I mainly heard about Andromeda were complaints about the shitty animations, which I thought were never great in Bioware games to begin with, so I wanted to at least give it a shot.

But the issues run deep.

Well it's regularly on sale for 5 dollars with all the content. And means you don't need to lug out your discs constantly. It's also on EA Access which is honestly pretty great but /v/ memes are law so I can't actually say that.

Most importantly, the DLCs can also be pirated and installed with Dragon Age's official mod installer tool with zero effort, you can remove those conversations with the literal click of a button like you're installing a mod.

So mad at that game right now.

Fired it up on last Tuesday, whole day to enjoy some rpg magic like I remember it from 2013. Spend my time making sure to collection Shale and Stern, Llida, the dog ect. Get to the end of the Redcliff castle, only way to get the "save the prince ending" is to go back and visit mage tower first for spell or whatever.

So I backtrack to the Magi Circle, spens 4 hrs or more if you count the sloth mind world stuff getting to the big showdown. Turns out the boss for this round is totally overpowered from what I remember, team is all warrior's with that one priest women. I then find I can no longer go back or change party members, the auto save writes over and ruins the chance to avoid sloth mind word fight and go back and grind.


I am totally stuck and wasted my day off on this broken game.

>>377575096
So all fantasy settings have to subscribe to the very same races and classes and enemies? No retard, this is called lack of ambition from Bioware, lazyness and lack of creativity. I've seen the themes of the game elsewhere multiple times already, Darkspawn are the orcs of this game, for example. This just screams laziness to me and undermines my will to finish it, because what's the point, this is too filled with blatant cliches and has no intention of setting itself apart from a plethora of fantasy worlds around.

They did the bare minimum for DA:O's setting, and it was enough to get sales given how the game is showered with praise, so more power to them.

>>377575382
I didn't get a lot of party options, I dropped the game during the Fade, when I couldn't care less anymore about it. What party options I had by then, I had edgy witch cunt, boring 1st party memeber from a bioware game and the other bitch, I don't remember stumbling into any more party members. Granted the Fade isn't really late into the game, it's what, 5 hours in? But I wasn't getting any enjoyment from it, and the Fade itself wasn't the only problem, I wasn't enjoying any of it, and the Fade was just the last drop.

If you didn't get at least 2 more companions than the 3 main ones and Dog before The Fade you disliking Dragon Age Origins is entirely due to your own stupidity. Sten and Wynne are retardedly easy to get. In Sten's case you pretty much have to walk away from an active quest that is blatantly telling you that it unlocks a companion and Wynne literally fucking throws herself at you and you have to shoot her down, several times, in order to not get her for any period of time.

>>377576395
I doubt a single or two party members would make everything else about the game to be non-generic and fix the issues of how derivative it really is. I can't stress how this game feels like someone skimmed through tolkien playbook and just copypasted shit enough. Zelda, an action adventure fantasy game, it has its own mythos, the thre goddesses, the western inspiration it has with many designs, how it takes a page out of the King Arthur playbook with the chosen being able to pull the sword from the rock, also takes elements from japanese culture, gorons doing sumo and whatnot. It's a nice fantasy setting that sets itself apart from many other IPs, and despite not being a RPG series and not having as much focus on stories/characters than a RPG does, the world of Zelda is often charming. Dwarf Fortress, a managament game that is also fantasy, that game the strange bugs and shit even merge with the lore, how carps were strong as fuck and became a mythical creature of sorts due to how they can drag a dwarf to a river and drown him, and so on. It manages to set itself apart from other fantasy settings just fine.

Dragon Age Origins is fantasy for dummies. In fantasy settings we like to have humans, dwarves who are short people, and elves who have pointy ears and are fags. Also people only like having 3 classes in our fountain of originality: warrior for the melee brutes, rogue for the sissies and mage for the spellfags. Oh and we're fighting the Orcs with blue glowing eyes, but now they're called darkspawn. And dragons exist I guess, and we're totally original IP donut steel.

This is fucking pig slop, this is someone going to wikipedia or tvtropes and taking notes of fantasy trends and putting them in a game. There's absolutely no originality to it whatsoever, and with the mediocre combat of the game, what exactly is the hook of DA:O? Beats me.
>>
>>377577462
Try again, go to Redcliffe first instead. Pick up the big black dude in the cage before you leave lothering. Put him in your party. You'll have a much better time.

Also stop and smell the roses, it sounds like you were rushing through everything and then wondering why you weren't seeing a lot. 5 hours of playtime to get from the start of your origin all the way to the fade segment of the mage tower sounds like you did absolutely zero side content.

Not an argument, I wrote a pretty lengthy post explaining why DAO is generic, there's absolutely nothing original to it, not even a spark. Not my fault you can't come up with a rebuttal.

It's blatantly clear you didn't do any side content, read any codexes, or spend any extra time with any of the lore.

You also admitted yourself that you spent 5 hours in a like 80 hours rpg, why do I waste my time with people like you that dont even play video games?

Neck yourself, people like you are why this board is awful now

Don't bother with him. I like the game but it does have its flaws.
He uses reddit spacing anyways.

cluche is just something traditional for a genre, the problem is not cliche, is poorly used cliche, not the case of DAO, anyway if you dont like its your problem, just dont brag your opinion like if its the ultimate true

Why should I do side content if I'm not enjoying the game at all? Let's be honest here, the combat is nothing special but the game could be held up with a great story, setting and characters. But the story is we need to fight dem not-orcs, it is a fantasy cliche central, and party members fall into the Bioware character cliches or are straight unlikable like the edgy witch bitch that requires me to act like Coldsteel to like me. What is it, does it get better after 30 hours in or what? I'm not into torture to play 80 hours of something that is boring the living shit outta me.

I just finished Divinity Original Sin recently, easily a 100 hours+ game, also fantasy setting, I don't have major issues with it, it could keep me entertained, had more varied classes than DA:O, more charming dialog, and doesn't feel like a babby's first generic fantasy game. it's just DA:O being bland, and I'm not the only one who feels that way.

Yes it is. Combat is slow and disengaging, particularly if one plays as a warrior or 2W rogue.

He has the absolute best lines in the entire series. Both for comedy and emotional moments. Qunari lore (Something the ELVES DWARVES HUMANS ROGUES WARRIORS MAGES autist is conveniently leaving out because he played 5 hours of the game trying to do as little content as humanly possible and has no actual idea what the games lore entails.) was also super fucking dope before the butchered it in 2 and 3 into TOTALITARIAN BULLMEN. I wanted my honorable warrior muslims, Origins description of Par Vollen was incredible.
>>
>>377578730
but since DAO it's implied the totalitarian hivemindish nature of the qun.
i would live in the qun gladly
also after dao events sten became arashok or something akin to a lider in the qun

It picks up the moment you get to a main quest, there's 5 on the map at the start (i believe), try going to Redcliffe, and then going to the Mage Tower. Instead of hating the companions and not trying to find more (The dog is actually fun to use in battle and not useless, has a few moments during the game where the fit him in to the scenes) like Sten or Wynne or Shale (All easily obtainable shortly before/after leaving Lothering the first time.)

Dragon Age Origins doesn't have cliches, it is ALL cliches. I struggle to find something of its own in it. Is racism against elves the original part? That shit must have been in some fantasy media already I bet. I never said my opinion is the absolute truth, I just posted why I find this game flawed and dull as watching paint dry, and this has nothing to do with WRPGs or CRPGs, it just comes across as Bioware being lazy when it comes to writing, setting, lore and so on. Even the art style of DA:O looks dull and an uninspired brown mess. I already pointed out how other fantasy IPs like Zelda and Dorf Fort stand out from the rest with their own shit, Zelda fuses western influences with japanese ones, Dorf has all kinds of bizarre shit going on along with the autistic amount of details, DA:O doesn't have that. It's like someone skimmed through tolkien material, put some main points in a powerpoint and designed a game around it.

People dislike this word, but DA:O's world feels soulless, it lacks an identity of its own other than "hey we're a fantasy game about humans elves and dwarves".

good question, I don't remember meeting those

>>377579334
well, it's a fantasy eletronic rpg, before it was made there was tons of material made for years which were inspired for years of fantasy book and shit, do you really think there's no cliche rpg game? no, all devs can do is work in the cliche making it interasting and not a generic shit, simply by your opinion of morrigan(hur she's just a edgy witch who likes hurt things) shows you know nothing of the game, if you romance or even if you get aproval high enough you will know that she is more than this, just go back to your cod and be happy.
or stop baiting

It's not the games fault you didn't pick up a companion in the first fucking town of the game and completely fucking never realized there's a 4th race in the game.
>Dragon Age has bad writing
>What are the Qunari

This is genuinely the worst poster I've ever seen on /v/. Stop responding to him. Who is your favorite companion, and what is your favorite part of the game?
>>
>>377579992
morrigan, the dialogue in which i jump the mirror with her
>>
>>377579725
I don't see the point of playing a game that bores me to no end, I thought games shouldn't take 20 hours to become enjoyable according to many on /v/, I guess it's okay when Bioware does it.

>>377579725
I pointed out already 2 fantasy IPs that take inspiration from other stuff but still manage to feel fresh. DA:O also known as the human/elf/dwarf, warrior/rogue/mage game doesn't have much going for it, borrows the classes from already existing material, they're a laughably small amount of classes to build your characters around and same goes for the races. Oh the edgy cunt is sweet after you date her, what a twist. Nice goback2cod arguments though, sweet gamefaqs tier arguments you got there anon.

>>377579884
>1 companion makes up for the entire world of the fucking game being a fantasy cliches circle jerk
>>
Nothing. It's the last good bioware game with real choices. The game gives you alot of options to work with and you can be hilariously evil
>>
>>377580679
recomend games whose choices you made actually matter
