Tarikko1 Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Guys, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt looks as promising if not more. Can't wait for next year, saving up to buy a monstrous rig :)
EssArrBee Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 DA:I looks amazing. This is some footage from E3 for a dragon fight. Much better than Skyrim dragon fighting. https://kotaku.com/what-fighting-a-dragon-looks-like-in-dragon-age-inquis-1588206152
TechAngel85 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Seriously excited about this game and that doesn't happen often!
Spock Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Really looking forward to this... hope its not disappointing like DA:2 was. I really love the setting and storylines. DA:O was one of my favorite games of all time... if not my favorite period.Interesting. I think the game lived off it's atmosphere which was good, but after a while I found the dialogue and quests kind of boring. The dialogue was very black/white and lacked any edge. Party dialogue was very steriotypical as well. This is something many Bioware games I played have in common, but most of them make it up with a great plot. I found the DA:O plot not that intruiging, parts of it where cool though. The city elf starting plot and the mages plot where really good imho. The best RPG I played so far was NWNII:MotB. It has a superb plot (if you know a little about Forgotten Realm lore) and superb characters. KotOR 1 was also really good. PS:T and The Witcher are still on my list to play.
TechAngel85 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I was never able to finish the DA:O game. I would get into it but something would eventually happen to where I never finished. NWN was awesome as well. I played through those games a few times.
phazer11 Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Same happened here Tech (except it only happened once and I'm at the final boss) though the only thing stopping me from finishing it now is having to play it on my PS3 >v< Death to consoles! All hail PC!
DanielCoffey Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I have just picked up DA:O Ultimate in the Steam sale for £4.99 and see that there is a modding section on the Nexus for it. Could someone point me in the direction of a modding guide for DA:O please. Can ModOrganizer be used with it? I assume mods will broadly fall into retextures, bugfixes, gameplay and visuals categories?

Back when I was playing it we used DAO Mod Manager but that was long ago. Been looking to get back to it myself eventually.That being said I would love MO support in the future. It is quite similar in format to Beth games (dazip ~ bsa, has overwrite folder for loose files).
Lauren Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I have just picked up DA:O Ultimate in the Steam sale for £4.99 and see that there is a modding section on the Nexus for it. Could someone point me in the direction of a modding guide for DA:O please. Can ModOrganizer be used with it? I assume mods will broadly fall into retextures, bugfixes, gameplay and visuals categories? I personally use DAModder, but DAO Mod Manager is also fine. There's probably plenty of guides out there, but when I did my playthrough of DAO - DAA - DA2 (finished about a month ago or so), I used https://social.bioware.com/1736/blog/8671/ for DAO. I didn't use all of it, but I've used most of the ones on there. DA modding is a different beast. The only time I ever had problems was with using Improved Atmosphere (in full)... was crashing in Denerim for some reason. I removed maybe half of it and then it was fine. Other than that, you have to try a lot harder to break things (vs. Skyrim, Bethesda in general). The one thing I can think of is, you can't modify the Steam version to use more than 2GB (I think) of memory... kind of like when we were all using the LAA patch for Skyrim. That and mods that mess with plot flags, are your 2 big concerns. If you stick with stuff vetted by guides like the above though, g2g.
DanielCoffey Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Thank you - I will have a look and check the guide is still up to date. There is an LAA Aware tool listed on the JB3textures Nexus page. Is this effective for DAO?
Lauren Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Thank you - I will have a look and check the guide is still up to date. There is an LAA Aware tool listed on the JB3textures Nexus page. Is this effective for DAO?ACTUALLY...you might be in luck. I just Googled it (btw I didn't see a LAA tool on JB3textures page? not sure if we're looking at the same one) and someone literally just posted on an old thread discussing this LAA issue with a solution (hopefully). https://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1794735 Scroll to the bottom. I can't vouch for it of course, but definitely worth a shot! For the guide, eh, "up to date" is kind of relative with DA. It's just not as active of a modding community. I'd be happy to share my mod list if you're interested.
DanielCoffey Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) That would be lovely - we should probably take this to a PM now. I would love to see the mod list. If I have any DAO gameplay questions I'll start a fresh thread. Edited July 1, 2014 by DanielCoffey
rootsrat Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Rather than PM, I'd suggest to create a separate thread for DA:O modding in Games section :) I was going to eventually look into modding and replaying that game too, so a thread would be great where we can post questions, suggestions and generally support each other :)
