Safedisc is known to damage dvd-rom drives, If you must have it to play a game I recommend using a system without a disc drive in it.
I also plan to play DA: O when I get the chance. I've had the game for years, yet I've never gotten past the camp, for sundry reasons.
I'm afraid I might have to put DA: O on hold. For some reason, I've gotten the Fallout 3 bug, again, and with mods installed that, for some reason or another, I had problems installing before, I'm enjoying the Wastelands even more than I do FO4. Add to that the addictive gameplay in TQ, and I'm going to be pretty busy for a while. hehI sometimes fire up da:O on my work laptops just to push the G-cards above warm… say hi to Duncan for me.
