"Played for 5 hours and uninstalled. DA:O is a boring linear pseudo-rpg hack'n'slash in the NWN/ Dungeon Siege vein. The game features ugly graphics, bad pathfinding, a stupid story, and a lot of cinematic level professionally voiced conversations devoid of any interesting lines.

Below average 6/10.

Hmmm might have to fake sickness to play entire weekend instead of spending it with the girl

Seems good from the reviews i´ve read.

Playing as a blood elf mage with points into that steal life spell.Anyone chose for getting Mouse out of the Fade if that's possible?. Combat choosing between instant and tactical options seems nice. Meh default herbing of stuff/potion in the game doesnt really interest me but i think the whole game uses 3rd gen official rpg rules for everything.

Actually started as a rogue, and lvl 7 now. Is that a quest?Mouse out of the fade? Havent come across that.
Yeah it is NWN all over but a the story is quite nicely done with all the dialogue trees, for the first time EVER I feel putting some points in chatting people up as a rogue actually pays off

I am playing in hard which makes fights a little bit more intense in all fairness.

It's an quest sort off but i guess you get different starting quests as rogue/warrior/mage. I had to face demons in another dimension called the fade. A spirit there that had a mouse form helps you there and wants to get out of the fade only turns out to be a demon later on. You can make decisions by talking and you had the option of letting him out basiacly

.
Loved the sloth demon guy there too that teached mouse to be a bear etc .

Normal difficulty atm read it gets pretty hard later on in fights mage seems to be op according to some, lots of micromanagement you get to do too with your party or just changing their combat behavior seems nice and well done.

some opinions here about the game:

THe fights are quite hard but only on hard setting makes sense, otherwise is quite a breeze.

Not sure about later on, I might regret it.
Yeah the chat paths and trees are made up to hundreds is quite insane what they made. I like the fact you can give presents to party members so they mellow out lol.

Most people agree it's like Baldur's gate in another form i like it so far not far in though, steam price is stupid again though maybe buy it if it goes on sale for 50% later on its around 35 in normale shops.

Unless a game is only available via digital download Steam is always overpriced.
