Okay regarding PC Specs and all, I just tried it on my PC... And I hate to say this because it shouldn't actually be true, it ran better than my Macbook Pro. :s

PC Specs are;
AMD Athlon 64bit 3000,
1.5gb Ram,
GeForce 7600GS,
Running off a USB HD!
And I'm getting a good 30fps with everything Highest and Filter Effects off. The only key difference is that my PC was running WinXP and the Mac Vista. Anyway those specs are shit nowadays and the game runs great. So if anyone is in the same boat get it for the PC.

I find it rather amusing that the game is called Dragon Age and yet, apart from the dragonlings and a few drakes...it seems like there's really only one dragon you HAVE to face.

well the full name is 'Dragon Age - Origins' so maybe there are more dragons to come.

I assumed the "Origins" part referred to the six different character origins.

This is me nitpicking a thoroughly amazing game because I'm at work and can't play it again for a few more hours lol.

The 'Origins' in the title seems to scream sequels to me.

Best character conversation ever: Alistair asking Wynne to darn his shirt so the hole didn't get bigger while fighting the darkspawn so he doesn't catch a cold.

Encountered my first glitch toward the end of the game last night. Let's just say I was rescuing someone and when I lock picked the door they were behind instead of using the key from the jailor the event just would not start. The character just was kneeling there and nothing would happen.

I don't know if what I'm about to type is true or not, but I was told that Dragon Age: Origins is the first part of a trilogy. Knowing Bioware and how they are regarding trilogies, there MAY be some truth to that. Either that or just wishful thinking.

I'm about 80% through my second playthrough as a City Elf Rogue (Having completed first playthrough as a Human Noble Warrior), and I'm having difficulties in leaving this game for FFXI (what with static commitments etc). Guess I've been waiting for a good RPG like this for awhile.

Thanks to all the annoying DRM that's been crippling games recently, this is the first PC game I've bought in a year. 12 hours in and enjoying it for the most part, though it's the first game in a few years that's forced me to drop the difficulty below the default. I wasn't dying that much, but enough to stop the game being fun. It didn't seem to matter how carefully I set up tactic slots, ranged characters would wade into melee range like idiots and require constant pausing and manual baby-sitting, and my tank's provoking abilities didn't take enough heat off them. I prefer playing the combat more in real-time.

Ok, seeing as I've finished this game twice (First as Human Noble Warrior, then City Elf Rogue) and I'm now trying my hand at a Human Magi playthrough. So far I've just entered Ostagar, and trying to refrain from charging into Darkspawn like I did as Warrior or Rogue.

Any advice or tips from others who have played as Mage would be appreciated.

^ Cone of Cold is your friend. Use it often. Same goes for Chain Lightning. You can pretty much go full primal and waltz through the game.

To make things even easier, open a door from the side so the enemies don't aggro, cast blizzard in the room so they'll keep falling down, and then cast Tempest for a lightning storm that will kill them rather easily. It's insanely good if you're playing no higher than on normal difficulty since there's friendly fire.

You've completed the Game TWICE already, :O Maker's Breath!!! That's some serious going. I'm about 15 hours in, this game is really quite addictive.
