How about we not turn this into a fanboy showdown?

hmm, must be a bioware fanboy. they always say that.

Somehow the buzz around DA doesn't affect me, even though I was eagerly awaiting Mass Effect. DA seems so uninspired, and if you add the whole PC exclusive thing and Gaiders book(and run he did Lolipops feast).

 

Meh. Gonna skip it.

DA isn't a PC exclusive.

 

And.. the book is fine.

Did anyone get the full book by the way?

 

A woman I know on the DA board bought 25 copies and sent one to me.

Who did that? Imported Beer?

So far I read about 1/3 and it's pretty good, except for one event which was so non-sensical it made me grit my teeth in frustration.

I bet it has tons of interesting, well-developed characters.

 

They should put "From the creator of Carth Onasi" on the cover.

No one as good as Carth, but then it's hard to compare game characters to book.

Yes. Though I think she only ended up buying ten.

 

Either way, instead of sending me a copy, she ordered one from amazon.com and sent it to me. Now I'm trying to figure out what to send her.

Oh do tell! Us non-initiated want to get a piece of the nonsensical pie.

No one as good as Carth...

 

I hope you're joking. :)

One character attacks another without any real reason

You'd probably have to read it in context to see why it would bother someone.

Maybe they based it on one of their PnP campaigns? :teehee:

"And run he did." is a meme at the Codex. That sample chapter was hilariously bad. Then again, it's BioWare. The only reason they get away with their crappy writing is because 90% of other developers are even worse.

I think it improves though. Having said that, if you didn't like anything in the sample chapter, you probably won't like the book either.

Wait, there's actually books about Dragon Age? Are they prequels of some sorts, or are they something of a kin of Silmarillion-wannabes?

There is a prequel novel written by DGaider. I think it's called Dragon Age: Origins: Origins, or something like that.

By saying

the whole PC exclusive thing
I meant that game was announced as PC excusive like a couple of years ago, then recently they said it's gonna be released on consoles, but a bit later, and even more recently they said it's gonna be a simultaneous release for consoles and PC.

 

I just can't believe it's gonna be a typical PC RPG like BG2 after all that ;) (they advertise it as such)
