I think you can play through the story at least twice and have it be fun and interesting. Origins, gender, race, and how you treat people can really change a lot of the dialogue. Not only that, but the important plot choices influence a different ending. My third pkaythrough, however, did feel a bit redundant and, at some parts, tedious.

How did you get that much out of DAO?
Once you played through it once, and do all the origins, theres no real drive to keep playing the story over.

Playing through DAO now and it’s a pure awesome. There are a few things in it that really bug me but the core gameplay is solid and the RP factor is through the roof.

DAO is fun, but even in “Nightmare” mode the non-boss fights are too easy. Maybe that is because I am playing with 3 AoE hard hitters, my blood mage, Morrigan, and Shale, but all I have to do is preset an area (that doesn’t even have to be in sight) with 4 AoE’s and only rarely does anyone get through to my front lines; if they do there got some cone effects spells to hit them before they even touch my players. It gets repetitive, but the story line is amusing.

DAO for me too I think.

As a PC owner who very rarely buys console games (I do have an XBox360) I have yet to play AC2.

I watch Graev play a lot of games. If I had to pick a game that I enjoyed watching him play the most in 2009 it would be definitely be Assassin’s Creed 2. Such an awesome looking game. I’m shocked it wasn’t in his top 5.

Personally I didn’t like the overhead mode in Dragon Age, I just used third person through the whole game for PC, helped with immersion. Plus seeing an overhead of the battle actually limits your view, because theres tons of enemies who will attack from faaaar out of your visible range, quite annoying. Fun game, bad combat, bad AI!

I’m playing Dragon Age atm (PC version) and i’m having an incredibly good time. I played Baldur’s Gate 2 and i remember a lot of features that i was always thinking “hmmm, they should add this or that” and they actually did… To me, DA gives me a better experience. Also, it feels good to play some more “classical” fantasy game, i’m sometimes tired of my templar with wings or the goblins and the zepelins

Uncharted is awesome, man: that’s cinematic story telling, i enjoyed every minute except the final boss… i swear if i hear once more “you think you can stop me?!”, i break a fuse…

Oh, and BTW, i’m first on the XMAS post :p
