Dragon Age Origins Screenshots: Violence, then Sex

Oh woe be to the WoW player that thinks he's owed the universe.

It's not only that the graphics look outdated, the whole design theme makes every character look old and geriatric, ugly around the eyes and pale pale pale, even the scantily-clad "babes" look boring and have this totally uninspired facial attitude 24/7. There is simply not an ounce of passion or vibrance in this game, just "going through the motions".

Every screenshot seems to have characters that tell me "pleease walk me off a cliff, I've been hacking and slashing for a hundred years, then resurrected by a demon every time I die! Let my soul rest!

I played WoW for 18 months, saw all the sights, raided all the bosses, then quit the whole thing to move on in life, the WoW-part was "done". The boss action I've seen in the "Dragon Age" videos look exactly the same as in WoW. In that last one they had three spellcaster characters attacking a big dragon for five minutes, shooting red, blue and green energy balls at it, while the melee characters and the "tank" stood at the dragon's left leg and hacked for what seems like an eternity. Hello "Deathwing".

There is no thought more depressing to me than playing drawn-out WoW-like bossfights, in a SINGLE player game.

Yea, the more that i look at the games graphics, they are very outdated looking without a doubt. I'm sure the game will be fun but the graphics look so half assed.

This continues to look more and more like an afterthought game from Bioware. To that end, I'm definitely going to wait on reviews before even thinking about buying this.

I didn't play NWN 2 very much ... I didn't play Mass Effect very much ... I loved Baldurs Gate and BG 2 though. I remember when I though "gosh this is the best RPG to ever hit the face of the planet." It was simple yet well done and for it's day it was a blast :) I'm not sure if I've changed or if the games themselves have changed.

Conclusion: Based on my past two Bioware experiences I am only 50/100 hyped about this game, I feel like it has just as much potential to be "overdone" as it does to be "just right".

Those character textures still need some work...

The DA folks should call the RE5 team and get some tips.

It's a little bit depressing how Bioware, a developer who was starting to move to a more mature approach to romantic themes in video games..has resorted to comic book sex to sell it's game. How pathetic..

Fucking Gamestop isn't taking pre-orders on the PC CE anymore.

Everything about this game just seems so serious.

I...pre-ordered this, but I'm not sure if I'm going to enjoy it.

why do they keep on advertising hot chicks? that just killed the interest for me, and also the graphics are meh...

Are there any shots of this game that isn't artisticly ugly?

Buahahaha starts bloody and ends booby. Sounds like a win to me.
