I'm very excited that it's coming out soon. I played through Origins (the Ultimate Edition with all the addons) about 4 times in 2011, and just recently played through it again earlier this year, same with Dragon Age 2. I thought 2 was underrated, and yes I know it wasn't as good as Origins, but I really enjoyed it.

Not sure if I'm going to pick a Dalish or a Qunari this time though, I usually go with elves in fantasy games.

I agree that DA2 is a great game but i know that there were a few flaws with it. I enjoy playing as a fmale and male human and elf mage. It'll be interesting to see how everyone will treat a Qunari mage thought. So, that might be fun to play.

All my mages that I roleplay as think the circle is a bad idea but does understand that education and control is need because some mages abuse the power they have at their finger tips. Also, my mage charterers also want to try and show people of Thadas that mages are not to be feared.

As you can see I love it and I play an male elf mage right now while waiting for DAI to be released.

I love for this thread to be about everything Dragon Age related.

The problem with its rating is that EA made them speed up the process. They spent 5 years or so on Origins, and then shot out DAII in 7 months. There was no way it would be able to be as good as Origins with that amount of time. I think that given the time frame, they did do a pretty good job and I do enjoy playing the game, but without the time, they missed so much potential... the game didn't have very much depth at all.
To me, it felt like I was just playing some character from a story rather than in Origins where the Warden was ME. Sure in Origins you had to go up and defeat the archdemon, but there were so many different ways to do it. In DAII, it didn't matter what I did, the outcome was always the same. Chantry blows up, mages and templars fight, and Hawke eventually vanishes into the Void or something.

And here I'm getting a little off topic. I'm just trying to explain that while it can be a fun game to play, it will remain rated low because it really isn't that good a game. My brother calls me the queen of replaying bad games (considering how many times I've played Ultima IX, I suppose I deserve that title). He couldn't even bring himself to play DAII just because of the dialogue.
I'm hoping that with the extra time they've had for Inquisition, despite trying all sorts of new things, they'll be able to come out with a game somewhat comparable to Origins. Highly doubtful, as it's EA and EA is known for ripping hearts and dreams out and dashing them to the rocks. How many game series and companies have they eaten and destroyed? I think I lost count.
I still think it'll be better than DAII, and even if it isn't, I'll probably still play it into the ground...

Well everyone today is when Dragon Age Keep will be open to everyone.

I'm just so excited that I keep refreshing the Dragon Age keep page wanting to get access so I can start creating my DAI world state.

Only a 3 more weeks to go until the DIA is released.

I've already spent far too long working on the Tapestry... It'll probably take the 3 weeks we have to wait for me to finish playing with the Keep!

I know what you mean as I can see myself sink a whole lot of time in getting my World Sate to be just right and in Keep you can have up to 10 different world states and there are a few choices I love to do and see waht effect that has on DAI. For now, I just gonna be setting up one default WS for my first DAI playthroght.

From tomorrow there are only 3 weeks left until I can play DAI.

I set my world state to basically what I've done in the games.

While it is pretty awesome, it's a shame you can't choose certain things you've done in the games. Like with the majority of companions in Awakening, the Golems and Leliana DLC's. I'd assume though it means they aren't going to be important in the game, or they might be without them letting us know.

I know what you mean as they are quite a few questions about Sigrun and some of the other Awaking companions that do not appear in the keep. But, the Keep is an open beta so they might add that stuff in later so who knows.

But, there are things in the keep that I didn't know you could do so I might look at choosing those options and play DAI with that world state. For now I have got two setup which are for my Elf Female Mage Warden and Elf Male Mage Warden and there are a few things that a little different between the two so it be great to she how those choices play out.

Since I played Origins so many times, I'm glad they have the option to add more than one playthrough in the Keep. I'm curious about the options they do have for some of the choices I wouldn't have thought important, like with Bella at Redcliffe. How is it important if she took control of the tavern or died? I really want to play Inquisition already and find out!

Yeah. I think some of thoase are quite curious on waht effect having Bella die, leave Redcliff, or died and also a fe other like was Hawke a firend to Cullen or not.

I seen some of the twich steams and they are great and I can;t wait to play it but I fear I might not have a powerful comp to play DAI in all it's glory. As some of the landscape is breathtaking.

BTW I got you PM and have replied to it. The one thign I forgot to include is my fav charcthers. So for DAO I love Lilanna and Alistair and I think Shale is a greatl. In DA2, I think my favs have to be Fenneris, Izzy, Varric, and Anders.

Come on I want to play DAI right now.

I'd probably pick up someday. I really liked Origins though I skipped the second game. The first was so good, I really liked the characters and progression.
