And concerning the gray wardens, they're multicultural, and fight to save the world!!1

Oh, so they're like the U.N. if the UN had an army and Earth was attacked by an ancient evil.
Fixed.

So wait. Do the gray wardens surrender, sit by and watch the invasion or do they support dictators?

I was wondering: Did Spongebob get "derp, derp, derp" from the internet (probably 4chan) or did the net get it from SB?

derp derp derp.

But WoW is for the masses, whilst clrealy Dragon Age: Origins is for the sophisiticated. Who crave maturity and grit. That's why the ladies have only got B-sized boobs, and there's, like, a relationship, and dog-on-man rape.

Ah, so Lineage is the reason why there are elves with foot-long ears pointed in weird directions! CURSE YOU CHINESE/KOREAN/JAPANESE crazies!

No.

Record of Lodoss War did back in 1988, the ears were modeled after Gundam antennae, that is why Link that predates it have the "western" elf ears.

Also they happen to be (one of) MY fetish so shut the fuck up.

Oh man, as if city elf and outdoors elf wasn't bad enough:
Dwarf Noble
Dwarf Commoner
Human Noble
Human ???? (Fill in the blank)

Get it guys? You can play as the upper and lower class of EVERY RACE. Oh and you can also pick mage.

This game seemed so much better when nearly nothing was know about it. I guess people were just imagining something better. Its a shame because there are so many things that could have been done with a medieval fantasy setting. Like for example you can take the myths and ideas of the past and make a fantasy world around them, like the world would actually be flat and there would be giant sea monsters...

As a side note the origins themselves just don't seem interesting there is just no hook.

I will probably give this game a try but I just can't believe that there is no mainstream RPG that holds my interest.

To recap: No matter what happens you still end up joining the mandatory faction.

That is just ridiculous! Worst railroading in an RPG EVAR! Or at least since that horribly one dimensional Fallout wouldn't let me join the cave rats' faction. Not to mention how you ALWAYS started at the vault. I mean, what if I wanted to be a wandering feral child who stumbles across a magical book that teaches her the ways of properly applying make-up in rain storms, then uses her make-up applying abilities to seduce a super mutant into being her bodyguard and fighting crime and douchebags together in the wasteland, and they adventure throughout the land, eventually setting off a nuclear bomb over that starting vault just for the funs of it, before her and "Mr. Dick" -- that's her super mutant husband -- die of diphtheria. I can't BELIEVE that Fallout wouldn't simulate that roleplaying CHOICE.
DAMN, I NEED MORE ACID AND MORE BEER!!!

You're not very good at this, are you? Don't worry, just relax and don't try so hard. Everyone gets overeager on the first go round.

If you want that, why not get Fallout 3 and wait for the community to inevitably mod it in. They already have mods which allows you to sex up ghouls, rad roaches, Harold,and worse of all, Moira and Amata, so trust me when I say that they will mod your dream scenario eventually.

Just like to point out that there is no upper class for Elves.

My gf made me watch that as a kid when I despised animes. I thought it was pretty awesome at the time.

If only DA were as mature as that (maybe nsfw, you decide):

I do not know if you watched the OVA or the TV series.

The thing I recall the most is Parn is freaking GAY ... every time he had a choice of spending time with Deelit or spar with Kashue, he picks Kashue.

I think the whole Parn/Deelit being a couple was so freaking absurd they had to make a manga series for people to swallow it.

Then again, I prefer Rune Soldier.
