Thanks!

I lot of people around me disdain dragon age, but I love it. Of course it is dragons, so of course I love it I guess.

How can anyone disdain Dragon Age: Origins? It's one of the greatest RPG's ever made! This however (legends) is relatively fun for about and hour or so, before it becomes incredibly repetitive

I don't know! I was so confused. It was the only RPG in a long while were I felt attached to my characters. I was a total bro with Alistar  and Morrigan as I played the cleric on the path of redemption. Much more attached then during Mass Effect 3 or any similar games.

Well, if you want proper game like this play heroes of might and magic or knigs bounty. And as for free game - I would not expect too much.

Stating that any game is the best game ever is pretty naff, tbh. It's all down to taste. I personally hated Dragon Age, in spite of trying really hard to like it.

I stated it is one of the best rpg's ever, not the best game ever.

Dragon age origins was a lot of fun, no doubt. The horrible reviews have kept me away from the sequel.

I played about 15 hours in to DA:O and then got to a point in the plot where there's a fight with a Succubus that is ridiculously stronger than anything else nearby. I died repeatedly and pretty much gave up at that point, only to find out much later that it was an optional fight. Argh. I just went back to try it again recently but it seems to dislike something about my new PC or win 7, because now it likes to crash every half hour or so. Last time I played it was on XP, which it apparently liked better. Oh well, one of these days I might actually finish it.

Try compatibility mode, and don't challenge the boss fights if you don't have to. If you are talking about the first dragon encounter in the swamps, you need to think about what equipment you might need to complete it without getting your ass handed to you. If you talk to some of the NPC's in the blacksmith shop, they will teach you about armor and dragons, and that is your hint on where to go. The game is an extremely fair RPG; if you do the groundwork, the world teaches you everything you need to know to take on every encounter in the game without a guidebook!

Nope, Succubus in the mage tower is what I was talking about there. I think the game actually calls it a desire demon. She's got some guy charmed and you have to fight her and him and some other random things that appear if I recall correctly. It's just a much higher amount of enemy HP and damage output than anything else in that part of the story. I'm guessing there's probably some way to do it right, but I couldn't find it.

[Cyborg]

I don't recall! I think I might have meant to go back to that and just went for the dragons instead.

Difficulty is finicky for sure, because there is a set amount of xp and gold in the game and you cannot respec. So if you botch things up then you can be screwed. I was able to go about 80% of the game on hard with moderate difficulty on enemys (I remember that desire demon, and beating her, not out of the ordinary but I thought there was a choice to leave the guy in his dream or something, idr). There was only two fights that were hard. One involved a pillar and four groups of enemys that were stone and gradually became unstoned (something about the enemy aoe attacks hurt) and the other was the final boss.

[Cyborg]

I thought the final boss was just right for difficulty, myself. Don't even remember the stone fight. The trick to the final boss is getting getting the scales off one dragon to beat the next dragon. With the final armor, you hardly take any damage. I also had a decent team with the golem (my favorite character) supplementing the healing role.

I played a "nuke'em first, take damage later" mage in DA:O and had a blast with tactically meaningful combat (even the trash) for a few hours on moderate where I had to be real careful about positioning, using terrain, and putting the tanks between the monsters and the squishies (including me).  Eventually I wussed out and switched it down to easy where friendly aoe did no damage to my party and proceeded to drown all fights (even the ones I wasn't really supposed to win) in an elemental storm. 

Probably would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't done that (though I enjoyed it plenty), but not sure about that as I was getting real tired of the sheer length of some of the dungeons (the mage tower was very long, but the dwarf one perhaps stuck out the most to me, but perhaps because I did it later on).  I used to not bat an eye at multi-hour dungeons in older RPGs, must be getting more impatient as the years accumulate
