Should I Play Dragon Age Origins?

i bought DAO and DA2 a while ago i played a little bit of both of them sorta a mistake on my part but oh well and i love how DA2 combat is its so fast and gets you into your character at least for me :)



but DAO the story drew me in but it was so hard for me to play cause the combat system is so slow im sure its very fun to play on the PC but my PC sucks but i just couldn't get into the game cause of the slow combat system and the auto attack is there anyway to turn that off?



but what im asking is should i play Origins before DA2 i don't mind playing DA2 first i only bought Origins for about 5$ so not a big deal if i don't play it



don't be a dumbass saying you need to play the first one to understand the story! i get where you coming from but not everyone needs to play every game from a series to understand video game stories i understood mass effect when i played the second one first and i understood halo 2 , MGS4 and many othersShould I Play Dragon Age Origins?
I agree that the worst aspect of DAO is it's combat, but that's it. I find the best way to play it is to play with a supportive character like a rogue or mage. Let your companions do most of the heavy fighting. DAO story is by far superior to DA2's and is worth getting through the dull combat. But you do get accustomed to the combat in DAO after a while. Just don't forget to tweak the Character Tactics to make things a tad easier.
No! violent videogames are the work of the devil!!!





You dont want to lose your immortal soul for a few hours of awesome gameplay do you?Should I Play Dragon Age Origins?
your choice
as far as i know you don't need to play origins to understand #2 because its 2 different characters that are years apart,or so i thought.by the sounds of it your not that interested in playing origins because of the combat system.if that's the case then don't bother.i thought origins/awakenings was great,but after reading the reviews for #2 i didn't bother buying it.the reviews said,if you were a big fan of the first dragon age then you probably wont like the changes that were made to the second one and may not enjoy it.so i never bothered with #2.hope this helps.Should I Play Dragon Age Origins?
I thought DA2 was a mistake by Bioware in terms of quality control but I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. I tend to value story line more than game play, which is why I can stand playing the Final Fantasy Games (which are really slow "combat" wise and a tad bit boring).

As to if you should play Origins before DA2, play which ever one you enjoy the most. If you get some spare time, you can re-try to play DAO but beyond that..if you don't enjoy than don't worry about it (find something else).

People are constantly ripping other peoples choices in video games. I say why worry about it. Play what you like, date who you like, get involved in interests you like and if someone has a problem with it...f--k em.
