‘Dragon Age’ May Have Some AI Issues…
I’m currently debating whether or not I should get Dragon Age this weekend, now that I’m done pummeling the crap out of raiders with my caustic revolver in Borderlands. This video isn’t exactly doing much to push me in that direction.
Has anyone who has played the game already tell me if this is an exception or the rule?

I haven’t played the game yet. I got it on my gamefly game Q though. I would recommend playing this game on the PC. All the reviews have indicated that it’s a better game on that platform.
I’ve not played for very long but from what I have played I haven’t run into many problems and the presentation is.. well it’s Bioware so I won’t even go there.
If you want to pick this game up you get a thumbs up from me.
In summary I love how this game requires a little intelligence to play yet doesn’t weigh you down with endless micro-management. I love how every decision you make in the game makes you wonder what if you went the other way.
It’s just the atmosphere they have created with it, it is astounding and I haven’t even really got through much of the content.
And yes I agree get it on the PC it just works better.
I’ve got it on 360 and it’s still pretty good. Just a bit more action orientated and the graphics aren’t as good than pc. But with that type of game you can deal with the graphics.
Definitely pick it up, you’d be stupid not to. I haven’t come across a bioware game that I haven’t played through at least twice. Well, at least on 360/xbox.
What you’re looking at is the enemy AI responding to a character who is generating aggro due to his heavy armor, and the hostile is targeting the greatest perceived threat. Granted in this case it looks a little silly but most encounters in the game involve your party encountering up to and over a dozen enemies making this baiting tactic somewhat less efficient. I think it’s a great, fun, smart game with a lot of replayability, you should definitely check it out.
Yeah Al is right, this is a video of someone taking advantage of a couple of feats and heavy armor to break the game. But again this tactic only works in a one on one situation which rarely comes up. I love the game so far and I would highly recommend it.
I’m playing on the PC and I think it is at least worth checking out. I have not tried what is done in this video exactly but the game seems pretty solid so far. I think the story is very well done, good graphics, and pretty fun.
