Dragon Age Tactics help...
    #11448803 - 11/13/09 03:54 PM (14 years, 2 months ago)

So, I'm starting to get a fuckin headache from the combat in dragon age.  I haven't been using tactics but the turn based shit, constantly issuing commands, is really annoying me.  What are some of the settings you use for characters and specific action orders?

I just downloaded this game and I'll be trying it in a bit.  That style of issuing commands was just like in Baldur's Gate (this game is the successor to that) and I always found it helpful to pause combat, issue commands, then watch it play out.  In Baldur's Gate you just tapped spacebar to pause it, try that out.  :thumbup:

UPDATE:

I'm really impressed with game so far.  I'm running an AMD Athlon X2, 3.25 GB RAM, nVidia 8600GTS and I'm able to run this pretty damn well on nearly maxed out video performance.  :thumbup:

I looooooved Baldur's Gate and this game has all the elements of that and then some.  I've been waiting for a game like this for quite some time.  Also, spacebar is the pause button in this.  You shouldn't have trouble with it if you pause then issue commands.  I actually like it that way; you can opt for hack n' slash or go all out magic and tactics and shit.

Well said Newbie, I have been playing for about 4 hours and
I think it is a great game.  The torrent was a surprisingly
quick download as well.

I too can max it out, what class are you playing?

I was just about to say this. I only download games that are more than a couple years old.

I like to support the people that actually make good games, that way we can get more in the future.

i'm not sure there's any way around it because it's fairly essential to pick out a kill order and focus force your targets down... the ai does a lot of retarded stuff if left to its own devices... you'll notice that there are some presets from the tatics, defender (tank), healer, archer, and so on... you can take those and tweak them a little more to your liking... my main character is an elf mage w/ all its talents invested into healing... i've found w/ small/medium pulls i can sit back and heal through the party doing w/e it is that they do w/o having to use consumables, but on any large scale pull it would be a major waste of consumables and i really have to dish out those commands.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

I'm playing a Rogue.  I love the thief/assassin character in these types of games.

I take it you've never played Baldur's Gate I or II?  Both older games and this one is made by the same company and plays in a similar style.  I'm the same way with new video games.  They just lose my interest and aren't as fun as even the 8 bit games sometimes but this was a welcome and unexpected release for me.

wtf?  i meant BUY THE GAME, not that this game sucked so buy a different one...not that you pirates would actually buy any game....but we can always hope....until they forced even gayer versions of steam and "Games for Windows Live" onto us then it won't matter at all will it?  i guess you folk would just revert back to card games or something then?

This is the golden age of the internet and I plan to get all the free stuff I can.  I find it foolish to pay for something I could easily have for free.  Stealing digital content isn't the same as stealing something like a car, because after all, stealing digital content is really just duplicating it.

You're just jealous you don't know how to pirate.  Read my tutorial on torrenting and quit whining.  :beetlejuice:

uh no im just pissed cuss its assholes like you that are RUINING pc gaming as we know it.  pirate all the shitty games you want i don't give a dam, but when there's a GOOD GAME and your fucking playing it and enjoying it you should be fucking paying for it!

p.s. Pirate the shit out of the 360, but when you pirate a PC game you are FUCKING everyone!  your not "just" duplicating it, your stealing the "MONEY" that you SHOULD have gave them....your STEALING their TIME and MONEY:crankey:  and your a DIRECT cause for SHITTY PC GAMES!!!!

you deserve all the SHIT KARMA that can be shoveled your way!

why hijack somebody's thread though?  this should be a thread for tactics related to dragon age... all you have to do is click post new topic and type something like piracy qq-fest, then people who aren't interested will know not to click it.

your right you should definitally ask him why he mentioned pirating games...good question...i guess he thought pirating was "cool" or something and as you can see it did start a "trend" and it drew in more pirates immeditaly after.  as for me, i feel anything remotely related to the topic is on topic, and if i see someone talking about pirating a good game ill call them out nomatter what the topic is, and anyone who is a true gamer should be standing behind the stomping as this hurts ALL gamers, your in here because of this game he is indirectly hurting YOU and YOUR gaming experience and he's directly hurting Bioware one of the last standing oldschool developers and he's sitting here trying to rub it in our faces!! he's scum and he's an admitted THIEF...thats certainly not shroomery like is it....or maybe it is :nonono:

? IDK if that was directed at me but I paid for my game. 

As a side, I've been playing League of Legends for the past two days.  I've been using the pause function all the time and that's why I'm sick of it already.  IDK.. I've had many encounters so far where I've tried LOS'ing ranged targets only to have one of my dumbass party members move on the other side of the wall when I click well before it.  I should've known better though, I spend 15 min clicking through lame story shit with answers that I'm not sure are changing the story-line or karma or wtf...  Maybe I need to give it more time?  Just finding it fucking retardedly boring so far.  Not even digging the story at all, I rolled a human warrior and it's just meh. 

Probably will be playing LoL (fucking gay acronym).  Dragon Age is a game that seems like it will be mostly me dying then reloading until I get harder encounters right, which I find to be terribly boring.  :crankey:
