![]() Right, I've got a full party of four to command here, so I think I'll tell my three associates to keep wailing on that wounded knight they're standing next to, while my wizard shoots magic missiles at the archer over in the doorway. I've no mana or stamina either, so I have infinite use magic. Probably for the best really, as if I went to sleep here I'd probably only end up inside an even worse tutorial nightmare and then I'd have to think up an 'Inception' joke. But unlike the ancient BioWare games of olde, the skills in my quickbar all have cooldown timers, so I don't have to camp out in a dungeon to refresh my arsenal. The game's got a 'real time with pause' combat system like the classic Infinity Engine RPGs, so I can make my moves while the world's frozen. I walked downstairs to chat with the others and suddenly there were enemies everywhere! I hit space to pause and everything went all sepia. Nobles start off with three bottles of brandy in their bag for instance. uh, 'Human Variant'.Īnd finally I can choose my background, which grants various bonuses. Again it seems a bit restrictive but I can also pick a subrace, like. I can select to be a Human, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling or Half-Elf. Classes affect things like weapon and armour proficiencies and what abilities are available. Twice the classes as Dragon Age, but far less than recent D&D RPGs.

It also means I'll likely be typing 'Dragon Age' a lot. But Dragon Age: Origins director Dan Tudge joined the company to lead development on the game, and that's got to be a good sign. The thing is though, it's by n-Space, the people who brought the world games like Mary-Kate and Ashley: Crush Course and Hannah Montana: The Movie, when they weren't busy porting first person shooters to the DS.
