Dragon Age 2 [360/PS3/PC][2011]

Developer: BioWare
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Release Date: US - March 8, 2011 / EU - March 11, 2011
Genre: Role Playing Game


Dragon Age II tells the story of Hawke, a survivor of the Darkspawn horde's destruction of Lothering (a village featured in Dragon Age: Origins) who rises to become the Champion of Kirkwall. Using a framed story format, Varric, one of Hawke's companions, tells Hawke's story to Ca#sandra Pentaghast, a Chantry Seeker; decisions made in the game by the player determine more than a decade of history that changes the world of Thedas forever. Choices that the player made in Dragon Age: Origins can be imported and reflected in the world of Dragon Age II. Choices from Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening will also be imported, if the player decides to take this action.

Dragon Age II has a non-linear framed narrative story, mainly based on the protagonist's choices. Romance is reportedly possible with party members or with non-player characters throughout the game. New combat experiences and spells have been added. Dragon Age II is set in a new area known as Free Marches, which is referenced in Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening but not shown. Unlike Origins, Dragon Age II features a fully voiced main character, which is part of the reason the main character's race is fixed. A new city called Kirkwall and a new dialogue wheel based on the dialogue system from the Ma#s Effect series have been added. In addition, races such as the elves, dwarves and qunari are being redesigned. The game takes place across a decade, and saved information can be imported from Origins as well as Awakening. This data will affect the background story of Dragon Age II.

I gave it a 9. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. First playthrough took me about 20 hours to beat.

I'm leaning toward a 9 myself. I don't like that some things have been simplified a little from the previous game...But it doesn't make this one any worse. I love the rich story telling of this series, can't wait for the 3rd one. [pic]

10.. I haven't even played the first one, but this game is dope. game of the year so far..easy

I didn't like the fact that there were no other towns to visit, got really tired of walking the same boring streets of Kirkwall.
I understand the story revolves around the political unrest in Kirkwall and all but i would've enjoyed it alot more if there was more towns, more exploring, more markets etc
I also skipped alot of side quests/companion quests towards the end because they felt too much like a !!ng chore.
Game was a 9 at the start, went a bit downhill for me after that tho.
8/10

2nd thread you've posted that dumb !! in

[pic]

Didnt know I would hit a nerve.

Man how the phuck do you beat that first dragon in the deep roads?

!! straight up !! on my party.

You'll get !!ed up every time if you don't use strategy.

Manually move your ranged attackers (mage/varric) out of harms way, theres a good spot for them up the stairs. Try to make sure the dragon only attacks your tanks (warrior) so your mage and rouge can[..]ist.
Keep a close eye on everyones health/lyrium/stamina and use when needed.
Change your tactics too, set your Warriors to Tank/Scrapper, your Mage to Ranged/Damager and Varric to Ranged/Scrapper.

Your best setup for this battle imo is Warrior/Warrior/Mage/Varric

Aite coo... what I did was I got so pissed off I turned the difficulty to casual and finished the f!ght in a minute.

8. good rpg, great story and voice acting... but still isn't as good as a Ma#s Effect or Oblivion

dragon age 1 was so much better
the gameplay, the interactions...
not only do we stay in the same city, but they always send you to the same places for missions

its still a good game i guess 7/10 I had to k#ll !![..] Anders at the end though

[pic] I did the same thing...I hated that !!

i love this game, i loved dragon age 1 just as much as im currently loving the sequel. I may be bias when it comes to bioware but they can do no wrong in my eyes. i even made my dragon age 2 character look like KRATOS [pic]

yea it was alil tough for me at first, then i realized when i go up those stairs and back down, the dragon gets stuck trying to follow u on the stairs...once i noticed that happening, i arrowed that !! repeatedly with varrics bowing arrow [pic]

Game is good
