You’ll meet different personalities on your quest to clear the land of the blight. While there was an overall medieval theme, I still recognized distinct differences between the regions and appreciated the development put into the world of Dragon Age.Įxploring Ferelden was all the more enjoyable given my company. There’s a lot to explore, as well as a plethora of side quests should you choose to complete them, all bringing you to very aesthetically pleasing environments. Speaking of the visuals, Ferelden is a fascinating and beautiful place even on the PS3. To my knowledge, given my short time with the PC version, there were no such issues with the PC, but you can check John’s upcoming review of the PC version to be sure. Rather, you have spells/abilities mapped to various buttons, with the R2 button switching to a second set of three mapped buttons. You don’t exactly have a repertoire of easily accessible hot keys on the PS3. This is probably due to the controls of a controller versus keyboard and mouse. I was stuck in limbo, and had to revert to my last save.Playing the game on a whole also felt slower paced compared to the PC. No more enemies were being produced, and I ran everywhere the map would let me run to, but to no avail. I even had a similar problem as Kotaku did where the game practically froze on one major battle related quest at Redcliffe. Targeting was pretty abysmal, controls and commands were sometimes unresponsive, and there were many a lagging moments to disrupt my killing sprees. Obviously you won’t have access to the classic Baldur’s Gate view, but at the same time I expected the same combat performances. The PC proved to be superior on not just the usual suspects – visuals and graphics, general performance – but also on the much lauded combat system. In my preview to the game, I spent quality time with my Elf Mage on the PC. Now, to be clear, this is strictly because my experience was on the PlayStation 3. How about combat? Combat is equally important for this game and, as I soon found out, potentially destructive. It’s interactive, engaging, all you could want to parallel a good gaming experience. So Dragon Age definitely has the story down.
