Just one? :-/

Damn i cant really decide between VtM:Bloodlines, SW:KotOR II. (yes, i like second game more, story was better in I. no doubt about it, but II. was improved so much so i cant really help myself), and DA:Origins ...
If i had to decide, it would probably be in this order tho ... very, very, very close together.

But im not too good in selling things, all i can say is that theese 3 games provide everything i want from RPG and more ...
Interesting world, deep characters, plot twists that makes sense, decision that matter (very important point for me), fun gameplay ... there is not much i can criticize on them in general ... but each had their weak sides ofc. smile

From what i have heared, there was 20 minute gameplay video leaked ... sadly, it was deleted quite fast, so only few people managed to see it whole. frown

I wouldnt recomend to give too much value to this tho ...
After all, our companions needs to be capable to work by themselves, maybe in this prealpha phase they were only testing AI ... after all, adding pause and possibility to take control over your companion seems like minor change that can be done any time later.
I certainly wouldnt hope for complex tactic settings as it was in Origins ever again. frown

That's actually totally wrong, man it's been a while since I played Inquisition
Im not really sure how are we supposed to read this. laugh

But yes, it is wrong ... you could totally take over full control over any of your party members ...
Wich was great during combat, but quite anoying out of it to me, since only Rogue companions can lockpick, only Warrior companions can break walls or red Lyrium veins, and only Mages can levitate things ... i was hoping since Origin for some system that would allow me just give order from my character and have companions do their thing. frown I mean, it worked in Mass Effect, so why not Dragon Age aswell?
Especialy in Origins, where if you got well set tactics, you never had to control any of your companions ever again!


I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. frown
Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are! frown
