Depends on the mod. Inconsequential things like retextures or new items are no problem, but with any mod that changes mechanics or otherwise makes large changes it is generally advisable, if not necessary, to start a new game. Read the mod's readme to see if the author notes any specific instructions/limitations. That is the point of including one after all.

If anything that probably just makes things worse. Given the limitations of the engine, I'm not sure that even completely custom textures made from scratch, even assuming they were any good aesthetically, would drastically improve the quality. Throwing a series of 2048x2048 textures on a character model doesn't inherently make it better. But these sorts of "visual enhancement" mods are ultimately very subjective, so you'd be best served perusing what's available at the Nexus and deciding for yourself. |
couldn't agree more. personally i think most gfx enhancing mods are made by people with little to none knowledge in graphical design and art. it's really easy to over saturate, over sharpen, over light game assets, and to untrained eye it gives that wow factor, but to me it just looks like shit that ruins intended look of games. every time someone posts a pic of an old game with 100 of mods installed and brag how great it looks, i just cringe and think "it looks like shit". |
+1 from me as well. All the texture packs that I've tried completely ruin the original style, either because too artificially sharpened or because out of the place/too saturated. It's a shame because this game would need a good texture pack. |

I just finished it, with all DLCs this time. All I can say is, fuck you EA and fuck you Bioware. I will never buy an EA title ever again. Fuck you for pissing on this title.

The DAO was probably the last game old school style from Bioware. After that we've got that "press one button and somfin' awesum happenz"

I've been thinking about DA2 and something made me wonder. What exactly was the purpose of Morrigan's baby in DA:O? Did I miss a DLC or something? What happened to the baby? I don't remember DA2's story very well, so I might've missed something concerning Morrigan.

They said it will be addressed in DA3. Guess it was bound to happen regardless of whether the play chose to sleep with her or not.
I shot down the idiotic creepy baby plan and finally stabbed her at the end of the dlc as a thank you for abandoning the final fight. Useless lady... 
1 and 2 are still amazing. |

There's a DA3?     
Not sure how to react to that one, I guess it depends on is it a sequel to DA or DAshit2.

Do the keys in Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition have an expiry date. I am planning on purchasing a boxed copy for my Xbox 360 for only 20€. Pretty cheap i must say. Pretty cheap only when the keys still actually work. Don't want to go blindly in so thats why im asking this before actual purchase.
I am asking this here because the console area on Nfohump seems much more dead than the PC section.

I think we all know the answer to that question.
How often do developers turn back from the path of shit once they've started? I'm sure it's happened but it's damn rare.

Well according to some Amazon reports, the DLC codes that come with the game have expired - but you can contact EA and they'll give you working codes, apparently.

Those amazon reports are actually based on an error by one of EA's windows services. A service needed is not always installed or started, so DLCs are not authorized. So it's not the keys, it's the service which can easily be fixed with a tool released by EA.

Sex with Morrigan was the primary goal of the game.

If I'm thinking of the right enemies... you can't really do it. They're just too tough at that point in the game.

Oh, those I believe you can beat, yeah. There was another group that I encountered a few times when I played that consisted of some really though demons I believe and there was no way to beat them as they were completely destroying me... The game throws at you some really weird encounters when you travel and I can't really remember how I did it exactly, but you could try traveling to some other place and then going back to where you wanted. I don't really know...

I have held off playing this game for quite a long time now. Just wanted to know how difficult is combat to learn in this game? I take it there is no native controller support on this game.

DA1 is not an action game. If you want to use a controller, DA2 is probably more your speed.

I don't think I appreciated it properly the first time I played it. It's a damn shame this franchise got murdered. I'm afraid this will be the last game of its sort 
). I remember back in 2009 I had to sometimes wait for up to 30 seconds for a level to load (especially Denerim).
