Yep, another Newbie

Hi!

 

been lurking for about oh, 6 weeks, shortly after I finally (finally!) installed and got sucked into the fun that is DA:O

 

I am a forum junky from way back, dabbling in different forums here there and everywhere and even indulging in some forum moderation both in my free time and as part of my job. I've got an interest in and some experience with 3-D modeling via Poser and Bryce so the mods I have seen dispersed and created are just incredible. And my ability to string words together at the moment ran out at the same time as my last cup of coffee.

6 weeks before playing. That's some hardcore lurking. DA:O was a lot of fun. I did 1 full play through then replayed the beginning part as each class to see the opening stories. I didn't play DA2 because the demo felt like an arcade game instead of an RPG. I'm waiting for DA3 now.

Yeah, I finished my first play - through (LOVED it) as a HNF rogue now want to try the other class/race combos. The game is pretty interesting and stepping it up a level with play-throughs is fun (driving my husband nuts though - 'didn't you beat that game once already?!'.. "yes but not on (insert level) with a (insert race/class) yet!")

 

Once I finished my first play through I tried DA:2 and just.. meh. Didn't care for the selection, didn't much like the mechanics though the fight animations were pretty nice. I missed the characters from DA:O (okay, confess, I missed Alistair and his quips). I might slog through the rest of it later. After trouncing things on nightmare mode? :-D who knows.
