    Default Dragon Age.. Point & Click?

    Just played it on PC and hated that it is Point and Click :l.
    Even though its not on Xbox360.

    Anyone think there will be a mod to be able to attack with RC / LC?
    Since you can control with WASD.

    No, because its not an action RPG. There's no hit detection, its based on rolls or whatever formula the devs made.

    If you just want mindless action go play Modern Warfare 2 or something.

    Dragon Age is strategic why the hell would you want to turn it into a hack n' slash.

    Thats not quite what i meant.

    I know its strategic.
    What i meant was, another option to be able to hit on mouse click, that wouldn't take any kind of strategic away from it.

    so a game that has action combat is mindless?, while a game like Dragon Age is strategic? Sorry but I've seen quite a few "mindless action games" that are strategic.

    personally if I wanted to play a game that feels as boring as WoW, I'd play WoW. (which actually I think I have more fun with than dragon Age)


    Going to get flamed for this or at least frowned upon but after about an hour or two of playing the game I had no interest in it, typically easy, felt like I should be playing it on my PC, and I didn't feel like I was doing much of anything. Hated it.

    *goes back to Demon's Souls*

    I've been looking endlessly for an game with a huge party that travels with you, backs you up, and helps you kill bosses and whatnot, so i was really excited for DaO, but after 4 hours, its just cut scenes, they got into the storyline too much, i don't quite like games where you get to kill 5 people, especially with pointing and clicking (gaah), and then you get to watch a 5 minute cut scene, 5 people later, another cut scene, i want something like oblivion, where you get to do what the hell you want to do.

    And Hobo, Clicking your mouse button to swing your sword automatically means its an mindless game?

    Seems like you haven't played enough Hack 'n Slash RPG's.
    Try playing Oblivion mindless, and you will get the ''STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM''.

    Strategic in the sense that you have to wisely manage all of your characters and their abilities and do a lot of micro managing. It's like Baldurs Gate, but I guess if you couldn't even make it through Dragon Age you've never played that.

    I don't think I've ever played an action rpg that actually required any real thought or strategy except maybe the earlier titles in the ES series.

    And don't compare Dragon Age to WoW, they are completely different.

    Way to take what I said completely out of context, bro. Oblivion is easy as shit.

    ^ exactly, DAO isn't meant to be a mindless hack n slash game.

    As for games like Oblivion with party members, I'd say ME2.
    There really aren't many games like what your described.
