Ps. I think this deserves his own thread

Hmm, Fileplanet.. is it subscriber only?

Hmm, Fileplanet.. is it subscriber only?

Not only ... but you probably have to wait if you are not.

Searching for more links ...

 

[Durante]

No, but be prepared to wait in queue for 15 minutes or so.

 

[Rokk]

Rad, will check it out when I get home. Thanks for the headsup

 

[Dwight Schrute]

10 minutes....

[Odious Tea]

Do you actually get to import your character into Dragon Age proper?

 

[bigmit3737]

[Dead Prince]

Last one is Spanish, Italian, Czech, Hungarian

i know. i just got lazy to type it out :lol.

EDIT: Installing now.

 

[archnemesis]

I'm actually impressed by the close-ups.

 

[someguyinahat]

Countdown to a re-creation of the goth chick in the purple hood from the original teasers in 3...2...1...

 

[EviLore]

The appearance customization is fairly robust without really going into shrek territory. And I really dig what they do here with the portrait generated for your character; it has a 2d painted look to it.

 

[crowphoenix]

Awesome. I'll hit this up when I get home. I just started getting into PC RPGs, so I'm a bit (A lot) behind the game.

 

[Eversynth]

So... why did they feel compelled to release this .... tool?

 

[bounchfx]

So... why did they feel compelled to release this .... tool?

to get people excited?

 

[garath]

So... why did they feel compelled to release this .... tool?

Why not? It's a great way to get people excited. Make your character before the game comes out. Experiment with the look and classes until you get it just right. Then once you get the game just jump in and play.

 

[Chorazin]

So... why did they feel compelled to release this .... tool?

Create hype.


Also, you can make your character ahead of time so you're ready to jump into the game when it's in your hot little hands.

 

[crowphoenix]

So... why did they feel compelled to release this .... tool?

Because it gives people time to make good characters, or because it builds excitement, or just because they can.

 

[Justinian]

So... why did they feel compelled to release this .... tool?

Because fans on the BioWare forums really wanted one.

 

[EviLore]

You can spend 5 hours deciding on your character's eyebrows now, save your character and then jump right in when the game comes out. And it's a nice peak at the skill and spell lists.

 

[Victrix]

Graphics look nice, lip sync too

Character customization is nil. Very disappointing You get to choose precisely 0 skills and talents, unless I missed something.

 

[methane47]

So... why did they feel compelled to release this .... tool?

So that people can create penis monsters before the game comes out?

 

[Durante]

So... why did they feel compelled to release this .... tool?

I think it makes perfect sense. When I start playing an RPG with extensive character creation options it can take me up to 2 hours to actually get into the game.

 

[garath]

You can spend 5 hours deciding on your character's eyebrows now, save your character and then jump right in when the game comes out. And it's a nice peak at the skill and spell lists.

So it does go as far as choosing your initial attributes, skills and talents? Excellent.

 

[Eversynth]

Ok, I'll download it... I'm curious to see how deep it is.

 

[syllogism]

So it does go as far as choosing your initial attributes, skills and talents? Excellent.

You choose your attributes but you get your skills/talents based on your race/background. Pretty dumb but not like you got to pick much in D&D either.

 

[Eversynth]

You choose your attributes but you get your skills/talents based on your race/background. Pretty dumb but not like you got to pick much in D&D either.

But the point of creating a new IP was to make things bigger and better without restrictions like those they had with the d&d license.
I won't hide that I was really excited when they announced the game, but I am now very skeptical about how it turned out. A good adventure game no doubt. A good rpg, we'll see.

wtf @ download speed from bioware.

 

[Danne-Danger]

So 16 cunning seems to be the ideal choice for speech options... now to build a char around that.

*Human rogue it is.

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

Awesome, another game where character creation can only result in ridiculous looking black characters.

 

[markatisu]

Awesome, been waiting for this.

 

[EviLore]

Post your character when you finish yours!

 

[Myr]

Is it confirmed that cunning affects dialogue options?

If so I'm min-maxing that shit.

 

[mitheor]

 

[Woo-Fu]

 

[EviLore]

Default brightness seems way too low btw, suggest turning it up a few notches in the game options, especially if you take screens.

 

[Lonesome_Raod]

Getting this on the 360 so looking forward to seeing people's creations in this thread.

 

[VGChampion]

Not home right now so I can't just check myself, but for those who know graphics cards, how does the ATI Radeon HD2600 compare to what's posted? It's what came in the first aluminum iMac's back in '07 I believe. If no one knows, guess I'll find out in a few hours.

 

[Naix]

Did I miss something or Cunning is the only stat that affect speech options ?

If yes...WTH.

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

Great idea on Bioware's part to release this.

 

[bryehn]

Can I use this PC tool to create a character for the 360 version?

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

Did I miss something or Cunning is the only stat that affect speech options ?

If yes...WTH.

Not really sure what the problem with that is, but I'm guessing there are going to be stat checks in specific instances.

 

[Rad-]

Did I miss something or Cunning is the only stat that affect speech options ?

If yes...WTH.

Strength affects intimidate dialogue options.

 

[Odious Tea]

Great idea on Bioware's part to release this.

Agreed. I tend to spend FAR too long making a character when I first get the game. Now when I get Dragon Age, I can actually play it. :lol

Do we know if we can change appearance mid-game? Like hair/beard and stuff?
