I enjoyed it but the character arc resolutions were extremely rushed.

Dragon’s Age Origins. Had a friend tell me how it was their favorite franchise and that specifically was the best game, such amazing lore, gameplay, etc.
Couldn’t even make it past the first quest before I hung it out.

I never made it out of the first zone. I was honestly shocked by how little I cared for it considering I made it through Jade Empire, but Origins just felt like Knights of the Old Republic and that game bored me too.

I’m your reverse. Friends with some big Dragon Age fans, they wanted me to join, it worked for me too! The Dragon Age train crashed when I had to free up space on my PC for more important real life things sadly, but when I finish that I’d like to finish my playthrough and maybe replay with fight-skipping cheats, or hit up the rest of the series.

It flopped hard for me too. The gameplay was clunky, especially on console. It also felt like you needed meta knowledge depending on the character you picked in order to build a functional party, the game gave you choices, but didn’t tell you enough about them to make correct choices.

When did you play it? I liked the game when it came out, but I tried to replay it recently and the mechanics did not age gracefully. It’s pretty clunky by modern standards.
I’m sure that to a lot of people this is likely sacrilege lol

Hi, me, I’m a lot of people.
I cannot agree with it being clunky, at least not any more clunky than any other game in the genre. What are you referring to specifically? The combat or something else?
