BioWare described Dragon Age: Origins as an "epic tale of violence, lust,
and betrayal," which makes it sound like it's a game about the Bible. I
hereby offer a better description of Dragon Age: Origins: it is a tale of
blood and loading screens.
That's weird. On my PC, the game loads so quickly I don't even have
time to read the text on the loading screens! And I'm using Vista,
FFS! I mean, I agree that long loading times can ruin an otherwise
good game, but this is definitely not a problem affecting everyone...
DRAGON AGE ORIGINS from Launcher's 'Play' button
to Main Menu ... 22 secs ... then Load a saved game 25 secs ..Total from
start
to play 50 secs.
Ingame load any previous Gamesave .. 8 secs ...
for repeated load of most recent Save ... 4 secs

(")_(") mouse (could be worse)
From Main Menu to loading a saved game: 7 seconds.
I'm using Core2Quad, 6 gigs and Vista 64 bit.
