No one’s complaining, we’re just excited, heh.
Anyone else on the West coast having trouble launching this in Steam? When I click on it, I get the option to either…
Launch Dragon Age: Origins
~or~
Launch Dragon Age: Origin’s Launcher
(Um… Isn’t THIS the launcher?)
But when I click on either, I get a new message saying… ‘Please wait while Steam unlock encrypted files’. Then that window shuts after about a second and nothing happens.
~mink~
It looks like it’ll be November 5th for me after all. I’m bummed, but at least it’ll be here before this weekend.
Keep trying, it took a few times for me to get the decrypting progress box with the Launcher option.
So no one knows if a PS3 version of DA:O will let me use Blood Dragon armor in the 360 version of ME2?
Goddam unlocks. Aw, hell, who cares. If they’ve got a CE of the PS3 version, I’ll make the switch.

Yeah, this particular shipment from Amazon has been handled oddly. I always get emails from Amazon when something ships, but have seen nothing from them about Dragon Age. But when I checked the Amazon site late last night, the status of the order was “shipped.”
On the other hand, a $5 credit at Amazon sounds like a better deal to me than a delay notification from Amazon.
Ah… Seems to be working now. Thanks.

Try restarting steam. If that doesn’t do it then right click the game and have it verify game files.
I know some people have gotten shipment notifications for their CE versions of DA:O from Amazon, but I haven’t seen anyone else but me post about not having his copy shipped yet. I wonder if my order is being sent from some separate fulfillment center or something. It has been strange.
Yeah, Amazon Customer Service will always pass out a $5 certificate if the experience has been less than ideal. They’re pretty great really.
Yeah, I think that’s what did the trick. I jumped out of Steam and went immediately back in. Just in case anyone else is having this problem…

I can certainly understand not liking it from an aesthetic perspective. I can also certainly understand LIKING it from an aesthetic perspective :D
I’ve never minded it from a realism perspective, however, as there are plenty of historic examples of “skimpy” armor on men. Hell, the Spartans fought buck ass naked.
“THIS…IS…AWKWAAAAARD!!!”
Walked into Best Buy over lunch and picked the Collector’s Edition for PC up off the shelf. (I’m a sucker for cloth maps.) Would have whittapic-ed myself holding the box, but was running out of time. So, as a consolation, here’s a quick one I took of the cloth map:
In other news, I skimmed the manual for about ten seconds. It’s wafer-thin and seems to have bare-bones info.

Yeah. But I already have installed and unfinished Fallout 3, Sacred 2, Drakensang, The Witcher, NWN2 MoB & SoZ. Not to mention I’m not bored with Civ4 (FFH2) or The Sims 3 yet! (Let’s not even get into my backlog of older unfinished games that haven’t been put on the rig…)
If only the 2-year-old would agree! I have him during the day to save on outrageous daycare bills.
I am generally far more forgiving of cheesecake if I can get some beefcake to go with it. When the male and female versions of the same armor are as different as the light armors in Dragon Age seem to be, that irks me. But I am quite pleased with the Medium and higher armors.

There’s nothing wrong with a leather bikini, per se. It just shouldn’t provide much or any protection. If steel thongs are giving more armor value than her starting white robes, we’re in Vallejo land. Which of course, is most every role playing game today. So, i don’t see why this game fires off your unrealism detector more than, say, Bayonetta. Or WoW, or Sacred 2, ect.
It’s probably because some people see their avatars as themselves, while others see them as the character they’re playing.
This isn’t me saying “OMG UNREALISM,” this is me saying “In a darker setting, I prefer more coverage.” For me, cheesecake and gritty don’t taste good together.
Bayonetta makes me laugh, and that makes me forgive a lot. It would not be what it is without the hair and the nudity and the wtf.
WoW bothers me plenty. I got really ticked off when my battlecow was running around in a platemail garterbelt.
Anyone know how I can spend my newly purchased points on the Warden’s Keep? Nothing is listed in the “Available Content” section…?
Bayonetta is completely, ludicrously, delightfully absurd and knows it. DA wants us to take it seriously but still dips into the “HUR HUR GURLZ” fantasy cliche bucket from time to time. [See also: bitching about the sex scenes, Maxim photo spread.]

it’s so much easier if you have a mage as main character, compare to my playthrough on 360 using a warrior, mage is like a breeze.
