Like many other people, I am hooked on Dragon Age. I bought it for the PC (since my boyfriend is hogging the 360 in the other room with HIS copy) and I’m trying not to play it so much that I neglect some other projects I am working on.
I have to say, it’s fan-freaking-tastic. I love the environment, the music, the storyline, the moral decisions, the combat and ability trees. It’s all quite awesome. The dialog is great and engaging. The only thing that’s getting a bit annoying for me are all the female comments.
“I’m not even afraid, and *I* am the girl here.”
“You did alright, for a woman.”
Yes, this is a fantasy world. No, I don’t expect games to be 100% politically correct. It is indeed neat that my gender I chose in character creation does affect the conversation in the game. It’s unfortunate that it affected it in this way, and so often! I’m not very far into the game, and there have been at least 4 mentions of the fact that I’m a woman so it’s surprising that I did so well. Hopefully this stops after I start kicking some major ass.
We’ll see. The game is brilliant and beautiful otherwise.
