well i tried giving it another shot, this time with a Dwarf warrior, and got a bit further since he seemed to be a bit better than the useless mage. but i found myself getting very bored with the game the further i played, unable to get into the story or world at all. a game like Mass Effect pulled me in so completely because it was a brand new universe with really interesting races and characters, and the story was quite unique. but Dragon Age is just the same old fantasy LOTR spinoff with the same elves, dwarfs, spawn of evil bad guys and zero interesting characters (save Morrigan, though that's because Claudia Black does the voice and i'm a huge Farscape fan)
eventually when i got to some village and had to fight wave after wave of zombies that finally wiped out my party due to sheer numbers, i figured this game just isn't for me and uninstalled. IMO the fantasy genre is tapped out, no one seems to want to do anything original with it and instead rehash the same thing every few years
