Another game another review. I’ve already mentioned about this game, but I haven’t mentioned what I’ve been doing in it.
\nI’m currently a Level 8. A Human Warrior-Noble. I know a tiny<\/strong> bit more than I did when I first started playing. As in I know how to dual weld. You gotta have a one hand and an off-hand weapon to dual weld.<\/p>\n

What’s been hard on me isn’t this Mega Trainer I got from cheathappens. I find it sad I can’t play a WoW-like Single Player RPG without cheating, but… I was never good with comparing gear. And as I mentioned I also have to compare my party member’s gear as well and that’s too stressful for me (was easier in Mass Effect). I want to have fun, not worry about gear specs.<\/p>\n

Another thing I find difficult, is understanding the fucking story! The plot I understand, but it’s everything else. Having to know this guy who’s friends with that guy who’s the half-father of that guy… they pretty much just throw the entire game’s lore right into your face and not care if you want to hear it or not, and the game expects you to pay attention to the dialog.
\nLike most RPGs, Dragon Age: Origins is rich in it. I like a good RPG but this is alittle too much. I’m more of action and less of talking (doesn’t mean I’ll kill them for talking too much) unless they need my help.
\nGet to the point, all I care about. If I wanted to learn the lore I would read it online.<\/p>\n

And there’s one other thing. The attitudes of some of my party members. Sometimes reminds me of WoW and my uncaring for good gear.
\nWhen we got back to our secluded Party Camp after a hard battle with a bunch of werewolves (fought a single dragon too), my newest member questioned me how I’m going to stop the Blight.
\nI questioned him of why you ask, and he says something like “I heard stories about the Grey Wardens stop at nothing and from what I’ve seen of you, you’re disappointing me.”
\nThis leads me to believe that god mode may not save me in this game. I’m doing the best I can with what little I know about this game, yet they expect me to be a god or something. Maybe that was wrong of me to say what I said. But since there’s no real moral choices like in Mass Effect it’s quite hard to know what I’m saying is the good thing to say. I’m having to use my instincts to guide me.
\nWhy I said that I’m concerned is I’m worried I’ll lose them for saying or doing the wrong things by mistake.
\nAn example is what recently happened. I let this Blood Mage out of his cage who wants to make amends for what he did in the past, and two of my party members don’t like what I did.
\nHow was I suppose to know letting him out was bad?<\/p>\n

I mentioned earlier I was using a trainer. From what I’ve seen and the freaks I battled I would not be where I am now in the game without it. Especially that battle with the dragon. It was small but pretty fierce and pinned down half of my party members.
\nBut this trainer has its issues. Four letter keys not listed in the trainer are assigned to it, which seem to do the same things the keys listed do. These keys if pressed can do some serious griefing to my game.
\nAs in, it can freeze all debuffs casted on my party members from enemies, making them impossible to clear. This can be game-killing if you’re stunned.<\/p>\n

There’s three ways to fix this;
\n1. Have a previous save before hitting the keys, accidental or not.
\n2. Save the game, close the game and the trainer, and relaunch both. This will clear all trainer keys in the save, allowing debuffs to work as coded by the game.
\n3. Shut off the trainer before typing something in my second monitor. Once done, re-run it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
