Ew, Convolution

With my Christmas Cash, I got myself another game that I thought I would like. It was an RPG game called Dragon Age: Origins, that gave you a decision. It was awesome at the beginning, your race and class decided what storyline that you would have. I chose a human mage because that's how I roll. When I got in the game I thought that it was going to be a third person fighting game. Boy was I wrong. You pretty much had a free camera and you moved with the mouse. I was like, "Whatever, maybe I just saw my friend play the game very closely and managed the camera very well." I started walking around in the tutorial, trying to get my bearings, and let me tell you, it was cray. I was in a place called The Harrowing, and there were faeries that were like balls of light. Along the way there were two demons that you could talk to, one you fight and obtain a weapon. The other one you had to figure out riddles that it told to you. It's hard to listen to a quiet ass bear telling riddles to you when you're in a Skype call with your friends and they're constantly calling each other "trash" and "bad". They know who they are. I'm just kidding, the words would appear at the top of the screen if you wait enough time, like, a minute. Anyway, I didn't know this on the first riddle, so I closed my eyes and clicked a random button. I don't know to this day if I got it right, but I can infer because my follower was able to turn into a bear. It went from weird to crazy with the snap of my fingers. After you get your bear follower and staff of awesome (That's not really what it is called), you fight a badass looking lava monster.

After you beat this badass lava monster, your bear follower starts saying weird things, something a normal person wouldn't say. You have some dialogue, nothing special just small talk. I said something weird cause I wanted to see what would happen. The bear turned into a human, then turned into a tall, flying demon that told you that fear was the true enemy. After this episode, you go back to your mage's guild. This is where I was not able to follow the story very well. There was no clear path on where I was supposed to go, boy was it frustrating. I had no clue where to go, all I remembered was a quick blurb about a first enchanter or something like that. I wandered around aimlessly, looting random people's stuff from their dressers. I ended up getting a full outfit out of it. What a great game, convoluting the story so much that you can go around and get stuff. I played for, like, fifteen more minutes and then gave up, it was so annoying that I had to quit, I would not recommend this game. I give it three out of ten dragons.
