I think I will have to get this come Christmas.
/e exercises extreme willpower in not downloading now.
Morning Rad! Glad you enjoyed it! I seldom can play straight through games like that, I see a side quests and start chasing it. Before I know it, I've usually levelled past the main quest and it's too easy then. Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 come to mind, Planescape another, I think it took me a couple of days just to get the Unnamed One out of the Dustbin what for all the little side quests you could do just there. :P
/e tinkers some more on a compartmentalized brain helmet.
I'm sure this is gonna work, and I think I'll be the first to test it. Soon, very soon, I'll be able to sleep AND be awake at the same time!
Wooot!
/e flumpfs into a fbbc and drifts off.
But not today. I sleepy.

Oh, I haven't slept yet. It's 4am local time. I get Fridays off, so it's no big deal...
Anyways, my second play will be mostly the sub quests, not skipping anything. Might as well enjoy myself the second time through, you know.

Am I that much of a non-geek now that I don't get the whole thing about rushing to finish a game? Maybe its just that I suck at video games overal. I dunno...

My first run through Dragon Age took 60-70 hours. I got the achievement for completing 75%+ of the side quests and the one for setting foot in every area of the game world. I still missed a handful of quests. This time through I'm targetting those quests and being a real richard to the NPC's |

DA:O is so effing good.
I'm 70+ hours in and there's not an area I haven't searched (every inch of) or a quest I haven't completed (I think). I got the Prima guide so I'll use it next go around to make sure.
Made my first character a female human rogue and loved it from the moment I got my pooch. Isn't it cute what he does when you pet him in camp?
Made sweet love to the smoking hot evil mage girl.
Right now I'm in the mines with the drunk dwarf.
Best single player fantasy RPG in years.
Glad someone here started talking about it!
BDD
PS You guys get Shale? Absolutely hilarious.

I am still fairly early in the game as far as I can tell. I keep getting distracted by the side quests and stories. Love my group though of Alistair, Leilianna, and Shale (with me as a healing mage).
With that out of the way... *slurps down a bowl of megachococoffeeliciousness*

Yes...and nooooooooooo not in the slightest.
Well, except for the fact that its a single player game.

I have finished the game, and... WOW. What a game. Very, very good. I blitzed through it in 25 hours. Yeah, that's quick. I mostly wanted to go from beginning to end ASAP, didn't get all the side quests done. But the game was very satisfying...
Next time? Side quests! I will not leave this unfinished!
Also, it's Dragon Age. Not Dragon End
