As with anything that's more than a year old, make sure you get it on the PC. FIVE years means there's probably triple the content for free, some insane passthrough ENB-type graphics mod and a mod to let you romance a pair of boots if you wanted (and mods to make those boots look like eva longoria).

Why didn't I just assume there are were mods for DAO to make it even better. Dang. Can't wait to get into it now as a racist Dwarf!! (only ever played about an hour as an Elf something)

The comment they made with the delay included something along the lines of "adding more value to the Hero's choices" - so hopefully some of the ME3 "it doesn't matter what you did" worries are being dealt with doubly over.
I haven't done a single mod with this game; is it worth it and how annoying is it to apply them? If I remember it had some kind of downloader?

Ok so it took them almost FOUR months to rush out that free extended ending DLC that added a few seconds of machinima to the ME3 ending (no, not plural). And that was with their consumers up in arms and the franchise hanging on by the lone thread of the multiplayer coop game.
How much value add should we expect out of the ONE month they're pushing it back?
If you were bored enough to observe the buzz of what"value add" Bioware's been obsessing over,chances are they'd spend that month expanding the branches on the polyamorous man-boy love triangle options. I don't really know how their community manager let their lead writer run wild with thattrain of thoughtfor over a week, but that's that.

That whole thing is god damn retarded. I don't know if they needed to write a character gay and I don't know if anyone needed to be upset about it one way or the other.
Part of me thought it was cool, because writing a character that way is essentially giving the person more of a background. For example, Zevran, Leliana and Isabela quite clearly show themselves to be bisexual - Isabela is always down for a good time, Zevran doesn't want to narrow his options, and Leliana just wants to find love no matter where it may be. However, characters like Anders, Merrill and Fenris who were bi, aren't ACTUALLY bi. They're just options for both sexes. If you're a guy, Anders and Fenris are gay and Merrill is straight. The former two will never speak of having a straight relationship, and Merrill will never speak of being a lesbian. And vice versa. They just simply start identifying towards whichever sex the main character is. (To the extent that if you're a guy, Anders will say that Karl was his lover, but as a female, Karl was merely a very good friend.)
Having a real gay character is pretty cool, just because he'll always identify that way. You'll never see a swap in the game based on who you are; that character will always be Dorian, written as he is. That's pretty cool from a writing stand point.
The other part of me wonders why it's such a big deal in anyone's minds, and also that my mage can't sex Dorian in that playthrough.
No one will ever be happy though; ME3 was something to be pissed about, this isn't even the same studio and people are going nuts.
Edit: Oh and fuck them for a month delay, dammit. That's right around Far Cry 4 release; at least it was early October, gaw. This is probably worse; while it stretched out the amount of games in October, it placed very long games back to back. Borderlands, Assassin's Creed, Dragon Age then Far Cry 4. I'm going to be glued to my PC.

I remember it being pretty easy, but I've got a high tolerance for bullshit when modding games. It's worth it if you're into difficult fights. Totally unenjoyable otherwise. It's basically what ToV was to the Velious expansion: A zone cram packed full of super tough mobs.
Heh, was wondering if that was where the reference came from. Vulak was unforgiving.

nope
Man I am not picky with graphics but this game doesn't hold up well in any aspect. Which is mostly fine except for the clunky ass controls, Jesus. I played for an hour.
