Dragon age: Origins questions?

So, I'm thinking about buying Dragon age: Origins for the xbox 360 and i've got a few questions before buying it. I hear that you can't customize your character on the xbox 360, can you? What are the classes In the game? and are there only 3 races you can be (human, elf, and dwarf)?



Also, I know that you can go online and be in a party with actual players, is there a way where you can be in a party with NPCs? and can you complete most of the story without party members?



Thanks for the help guys, Have a happy Holiday seasonDragon age: Origins questions?
You've got the wrong idea. You can customize your character on any platform version of the game, you can choose your gender, race and class. The choices are: male/female, human/elf/dwarf and mage/rogue/warrior. You can also choose one of 6 origins for your character. The origins give you the background of your char and the beginning of the game is specific to your origin. Also, npcs can talk to you differently depending on your origin.



And this is a singleplayer offline game, there is no multiplayer capability. You cannot be in a party with actual players. Your party is made of 4 chars, your player char and 3 other chars that you choose to go along with you, but you can control them or let the AI control them.



This is one of those games that was designed for pc first then ported to xbox 360 and ps3. The main advantage of the pc version is that you can install mods made by other people, like in oblivion.



Anyways this is a great game and I encourage you to pick it up. It is addictive and has good replay value too. I've wasted over 100 hours on this game lol.
