Why on Earth didn’t this become standard for every Bioware game? It’s such a basic convenience… It has better pacing than most other Bioware games, and it’s the only Dragon Age game to date to display any particular style or personality in its art or world-building.Īlso, it’s so much vastly better to actually get notifications when companions have new conversations. It was interesting to revisit the game, though, and I was reminded there’s a lot about it I truly appreciate. I really like Jo Wyatt in SW:TOR, but she just sounds a bit too refined and imperious to be believable as an underdog refugee. I’ve also come to the conclusion I’m not a big fan of lady Hawke. It was a success in that I was able to play through the game to completion, though I have to say that even with all the changes the combat did start to drag me down a bit near the end. The only really broken thing I was able to achieve was getting Fenris to 100% magic resistance. This also obviously had the effect of lowering the game’s difficulty, but it didn’t make as much of a difference as you might expect. After a few levels, it removed virtually all the downtime from combat and made it simply dull, instead of excruciating. Of them all, the reduced cooldowns made the biggest difference.
