[quote who="Raven X" reply="37" id="2438115"] Wow, I've got over 40 hours in and I'm just about 30% through the game. My first time through though I take my time, look in all the corners, try to do everything I can possibly do. Also there have been a few times I've had DA:O minimized for a couple hours at a time while it was running.[/quote] Mine showed about 44% through the game by the time I finnished, and I did almost all the quests I could find. That percentage is for ALL pla

Mages are pretty imbalanced if you know how to play and build them. I hear backstabbing rogues can also be pretty devastating if played right. I'd say Dragon Age is the best game this year, finnished it yesterday, savegame showed around 60 hours played, which is a pretty nice amount these days. And I started a new game right away :p

[quote who="itsmevic" reply="32" id="2373112"] QOT the worst you say?...lol, not by far my young paddawong. She is probably one of the best. (If you need to ask why there is no help for you.)[/quote] Any other DG will absolutely trash QoT by midgame. She's good at early support and her AoE lets her level quickly but she's pretty much below average at everything else.

To be in control over your own produced intellectual works is a very important civil liberty (mostly in regards to written work, admittedly). It has a very old tradition, going back to antiquity. The internet blurrs the line and it is easy to steal intellectal property, and since it doesn't belong to anybody but the author the claim that

It doesn't really matter what happens to Pirate Bay, there will always be more sites to take its place. And filesharing in general, you might not like it, but it isn't going anywhere, unless you'd like to live in a society like the one envisioned in 1984. Whoops, guess I'm a little tired. But I guess it'll soon have a sequel.

I can't remember a single game that hasn't been cracked, isn't that proof enough that DRM doesn't work and never has worked? There are only two groups that deal with DRM, paying customers and crackers. Pirates never have to deal with it because some groups crack the games (for kicks & e-peen), so that really leaves only paying customers who are in any way affected by DRM. And I've never heard anyone say that DRM did something good for them and I highly doubt anyone else has either (but if
