The funny thing is that these same fans are "old school" role-play friendly chorus styled Dragon Age true heir to Baldur's Gate 2, studiously ignoring these differences in the introduction. And what they do? Skeleton Neverwinter Nights 2 with blade-bones addonamy long been hidden in the basement with the old stuff, and where still waiting for recognition of "reveling in a pop and Action" gamer. And it seemed that the restoration of the classics are no longer shines. And then suddenly BioWare again zabozhila, vykolachivaya flag "old school" of Roleviki money and nostalgia. What is not a reason to kick all sorts of Oblivion and Fallout 3, more than a year mastering multi-million dollar fees, to the envy of fans cubes and rounds?

However, we retain the irony. After all, Dragon Age so much in common with the classics: Dialogues with many multiple-choice, three satellites obey commands, and another puppet of the city and bleak sweep of endless dungeons. All sorts of caves, tunnels, deep passages, underground churches, cellars and mines are at least half of the game, filling it with chewing gum from the senseless murder of the same monsters and thieves brainteasers in just one click. Nothing good in these missions is not, except, of course, nostalgia for Neverwinter Nights. In the supplements to get it ever crowded backpack and diluted to a pale pink blood game - its storyline.

But first player simply dipped into a new fantasy universe, piled high quality set by the rollers, plus the magazine is constantly updated with interesting details of the found books. BioWare has mastered the first reception in last year's action drayvovom Mass Effect, and the second assembled from rival The Elder Scrolls, too, not very old school. But if not crooked nose from the "pop" and have to admit that the best episodes of Dragon Age shall just peeping aside. Especially powerful are lit early in the game cut scenes, dramatic telling of the sad fate of the key figures for the story, as well as tightening the player in zaekrane cool special effects of magic, and epic battles with the horde of the creatures of darkness. And along the way normal visual representation of the dialogue is played on the last hand: the masters at BioWare enough to chat, so that with proper fantasies really get something like a soundly books. Weight replicas available to the hero (as usual voiceless telepath) even gives the appearance of freedom of action. Only apparent: a virtual hand writer very carefully returns gamers to the path of hobo-dobrodela, is only to grow insolent to their own plans. But you can heartily pohamit comrades poke extra coins for an assignment, as well as execute / pardon any character the third plan. It seems a trifle, but resentment and expelling from the command wizard, complete the game will be very difficult, but missed the romantic quest chain you can break out of curiosity.

Well back to the monster. Universe Dragon Age Eight slices around two pillars: an abortive coup against the Creator and magicians the flow of illegal immigrants from the shadows - the world of dreams and demons. Anti-religious motives in fantasy look, as usual, an idiot: it's hard to be an atheist, when all around jostle elves, ghosts and other werewolves. But the headb writer still draws Temple weak-willed losers, and novices - stupid fanatics. But the otherworldly "garters" simpler, like magic, blood, or demonology, characterized by extremely deep-sided personality. Already by the middle of the game untenable conception of the church hide shyly in the background, which makes it even more stupid: how is it that such an influential force was out of work during the reigns of the country of chaos and strife? But even Machiavelli reproached the Pope for what he did not contribute to unification of fragmented Italy.

To actively glows action Shade, crowds placing demons in the way of a player, taking that into the world of visions (magician lucky to be in it already three times) and raising the quality of the narrative until about the late feminist books by Robert Jordan. The thickest Arhidemon creates a background event, led the army of the creatures of darkness, grabbing the foreseeable future, an area of land - the kingdom Dehner. Demons smaller unexpectedly appear in the course of the story. Unexpectedly - so molchok, no details! The remaining devils pretending to undead, dead trees and other duty monstryatnikom.

The player, as usual, to catch up to the epilogue to create some semblance of order in the Trust Territory, than have plugged a hole between worlds and unite the scattered forces of dwarves, elves and humans for a friendly hunting Arhidemon. The fate of the hero appointed head of the Grey Guard - Ancient Order of the saviors of the world, to which all peoples should be on the coffin of life. Behind them is a "skeleton in the closet" as one of the six lineages, and in front straight as a stick plot with broom numerous interchanges at the end.
