I want to love Dragon Age: Origins. I really do. The Mass Effect franchise was awesome and I figured BioWare could do it again. Yeah, combat's a royal pain compared to Mass Effect (basically you're SoL if your caster doesn't have enough crowd-control spells, and those same spells have an annoying tendency to inflict friendly fire), but the characters are just as well developed, if not better.
But if this isn't the definition of Guide Dang It, I don't know what is.
...also, I'm a Rogue (which in retrospect was a huge freaking mistake but I'm not about to just junk seven hours of gameplay so I can go back and start all over again as a class that can actually fight). I backstab. Why the hell do they make me solo a massive dungeon? I mean, the classes in Mass Effect are balanced enough for you to solo Arrival, but that's simply not true here, unless I'm building my character entirely wrong, in which case screw them for not making the "right" build more obvious. I've taken the difficulty level down to Easy and I have absolutely no regrets about it.
