Sometimes Dissecting games does make them less playable.

So, I took apart dragon age Origins (I still don't have my car back, and I've been applying for jobs, and things, but there is nowhere to go right now, so it's this....)


made the second playthrough worthless.

on borderlands, I LOVED the second playthrough (with my massively hacked guns, and things of that nature)

Dragon age, even though I'd modded items, even though I knew how to make it so I could skip the most irritating parts of quests, see which parts of the story I could change, and which parts I couldn't (plot flags)

it was hollow.

the newness was gone.

I mean, first time I played through, "Paragon of her kind" I discovered hespith, and I actually was a bit freaked out. (I'm not saying why, that'd be a spoiler, but, if you play it, you'll appreciate it)

but, there were no new surprises to be had in slaughtering the prince.

or in becoming the king myself.

or even in getting the characters I'd missed in the first playthrough.

it was all the same stale shit.

this game is VERY good to play once.

it is not replayable for me. I'll be waiting until I get scribblenauts for PC... unfortunately.....

 

The original pokemon games are the only games I've ever been able to enjoy a second time around, as lame as that sounds.

 

is it B-A-up-down-up-down-R-L- up-down, for unlimited lives on Nintendo Contra, cause I forgot..

 

scribblenauts is replayable, but, fuck. it's only on the DS, and I can't find a good DS emu, workable ones, sure, but not good ones.

 

I dont know what Dragon Age Origins is, But I have been playing "Dark Sun Shattered Lands" which is a really old school RPG based on the AD&D rules.

What makes this game fun, is it is so easy to permantly screw up certain bits of the story line and is a genuinly tricky game. So if you don't hack your way through (i dont hack at all, but especially not games), it might be a bit of fun and have some reply value.

If you can deal with shitty graphics

 

graphics don't matter to me, I min settings most games simply so I don't have to deal with bullshit effects that can make me motion sick.

 

Well than it is a quality game. You will almost definatley need some help via walk throughs, but they are on the net.

Also, even if you don't need it, i recomend using DOSBox, because you can speed the game up, which is useful for battles, which can be annoyingly slow with out it.
