Dungeons and Dragons Online, a quick look!
July 4, 2006
Okay, finished downloading that 1.7GB of installation file,
installed the game and started playing my 7 days Trial of Dungeons and
Dragons Online: Stormreach.

Opening
screen was awesome, the character creation is great though I don’t
personally like the artwork, the movie for each class was amazing
because it shows a sneak peek of what your character can become. After
creating my character then it was time to enter DDO: Stormreach
My character started in a harbor. A port like town. You will also be
greeted by an on-screen help system that will pop-up trying to annoy
you but don’t be annoyed because it gives you a lot of information
about the game and where you are and you can always turn it off.
Control is WASD with mouse look. The in-game interface is quite user
friendly and you can go over the different options/choices/menu using
your mouse.
I got my first Quest in a Tavern which is just in-front of where you
started. The quest is basically a form of a tutorial with a voice and
text guiding you through it. I finished that and did some more tranings
from trainors located in the area and after that I moved on to the next
location/zone/map.
DDO’s environment is great, awesome details but my problem with DDO
is that I get this feeling of boredom while playing it. It didn’t
excite me like the way City of Villains did, like Guild Wars did the
first time I played it. DDO felt gloomy and stale even with all those
eye candy. I don’t know, maybe DDO is just not the game for me but I’ll
still continue playing DDO up until my trial expires.
Anyway, I still suggest that you, as an online gamer, give Dungeons
and Dragons Online a try. DDO may not be for me but who knows it could
be the perfect game for you!!!
