My party was made up of two fighters who could hit the hardest, one mage and one archer at the end. In the end, that armor will be forced upon you, as the champion that you are but will however take in to account that you might have chosen a mage as the armor does not restrict your magic abilities as other metal parts does. Through the course of the game, you’ll find armor pieces, which will enhance mostly everything that is needed for combat besides for example Intuition, which is the main stat for a mage, yay. Though the pet companion is a really nice addition to your party.Įlven characters in this game seem to have access to less interesting spells than the humans do in the game, and even worse, the game’s main story just assumes that you play as a fighter. They have a few that are mostly based on buffs for the fighters and the like. One thing that I realized much to late is the fact that the elven characters can not use all spells the game has to offer. You put your points in what you want to “level up” and the more points you put in, the better it becomes. The leveling system in this game is based on distributing experience points into stats more than “leveling up”, but you do level as well, it mostly just opens up the next “phase” for you to distribute more points into what you want as it gets maxed at certain numbers based on your level. The dwarfs are a drunken, fight loving and proud race that of course sounds scottish, the elven people speaks about nature and animals or their people, the humans are well humans, greedy and just down right needy in my opinion. They might even talk to each other at certain points but it is nothing worth reading really. I ended my game with around 2000 gold, I didn’t upgrade my companions as I maybe should have due to the lack of interest in the last part of the game.Ĭompanions do however speak during your quests but it is easily missed and they do not say much. Haggle is a really nice thing to have as gold is really needed in this game for both quests, potions (need lots of those), items for different conditions and armor alike. Human Nature is the second thing to be used and the others may come a few times if you are lucky. For example the game has: Seduce, Etiquette, Haggle, Human Nature and Fast Talk, but it only really uses Haggle thanks to the character’s need to buy all the equipment throughout the game. It makes some use of a few of the social aspects that it has, but not all of them so I do not really understand the need to separate them as much it does. What it does not lack is battles, which it uses to cover up the really thin and short story it really has. This game lacks the great features that many great RPGs have, like character interaction, heavy story and romance among other things. And that Drakensang in it’s turn borrowed some from Neverwinter Nights 2. So, I just finished Drakensang: The Dark Eye, and the first thought that came to my mind was that Dragon Age: Origins seems to have borrowed quite a lot of things from this game, or so it felt like anyhow.
