I enjoyed the game myself, playing a warrior first (big mistake!), then a mage (only 3/4 of the way through). I can't recall if I had subtitles on or not. Probably.

It's been a long time since I've been pulled into a game like Dragon Age: Origins. I started off as a warrior but switched to a rogue and recently finished the game. I'm now trying my luck as a mage.

I love the ability to download additional content. The Stone Prisoner add-on provides a new character that you can have join your team. I'm patiently awaiting the add-on Return to Ostagar that was delayed and the new expansion looks promising.

Thanks for sharing the link. It's good to hear that configuration options in the game allow all gamers to enjoy this great game!

It shouldn't last long; no more than a month. Like I say, I tried again with a different class, but it just wasn't the same the second time through.

BTW I didn't really mean this to be a thread about the game. Although Ioo still hates me, I think it's cool he's being interviewed by Ars.

PS. Tony, I do not hate you, hate is waste of energy. I do not like you, that does not mean I hate you. I think you have the personallity of a wet box... and no spine.

Ioo-There's absolutely no rule that you have to be palsy walsy:action-smiley-031: with anyone on the forums. A lot of folks miss your contributions to the discussions. I was fond of that droll wit. You're welcome back to engage in the give and take at anytime.

Since you've now popped in and might see it, congratulations to you! Accessibility is a big thing in the IT world and I'm glad to see somebody paying attention to it in the gaming industry. Having worked as a game tester I know all too well that a good segment of the industry measures their manhood by how many keys and buttons their game requires the player to use at once.

I think you have the personallity of a wet box... and no spine.Sounds like you're mellowing. That's a positive sign. :)
