I got this on my PC and it's awesome! One of the best single player RPG's I've played in a very long time.

Out of interest, what classes / specialisations / talents you lot go for?

I've just bought this after a successful rental period and started a new game with a different background. (Finished the story as a dwarf noble earlier)

Is Awakening worth it? It's helluva expensive on the PSN store and I haven't seen it pre-owned anywhere.

Nope, imo, it's like a third of the length and really easy (completed it on nightmare without my main character - dwarf warrior - dying once.)

Stick with it. It takes a good few hours to get going but its deffinately worth sticking with it...

So, I can pick this up cheap these days, but is it as good as Oblivion? I played Oblivion to death, and want something similar.

Does this have first person view?

Erm I don't think you can play it in 1st person unless you're on PC, and even then I'm not really sure?

I didn't play Oblivion but I loved this game, probably my favourite game on Xbox. Human noble starting story is probably the best, go for a duel-wielding rogue or warrior and it gets pretty fun pretty quickly. Obviously at the start the abilities you have are pretty limited sadly, and the whole forest thing locating the scrolls is a bit dull, but after that it gets rather good imo.

I much preferred this other Oblivion, really enjoyed it and can't wait for DA2

Tempted to buy this for the ps3.

jayextreme · 9 Dec 2010 at 20:36

u can only enjoy DA unless you have a high end rig, it's just a different game between low and high settings

Playthrough #2 on PS3 complete...

Got the Ultimate Edition waiting to be cracked open, I started a playthrough earlier this year on a rental copy and really enjoyed it. Can't wait to get started with a new fresh game and all the DLC

What does Awakening involve?

Does it let you go back to all the places from Origins?

Do any of your party remain?

paulc25 · 10 Dec 2010 at 11:55

No, its a new campaign in a new area. One of your original party returns.

It's absolute poo, would not recommend. It's rather easy and the plot lacks any sense of 'worth' or epicness like in the first one.
