Wait what?  You could equip weapons for companions and the main character..


you couldn't take with yourself more than one pistol or assault rifle then swap it adter heatclips went out/it overheated as example


I never had problems with heat clip issues.


well yea, but in ME1 you may have had isues with overheating, but even if not, you could have had 2 different assault rifles with different upgrade configuarations for different circumstances/enemies, I always did


That system was easy to cheat and it became unlimted ammo. This was fixed in ME2 and made the combat much more enjoyable. You had to use skill now, you could just not run around and spam your gun you had to think, use cover and time your shots.



right, and instead having weapon and armor upgrades now you have anti-robot and flaming ammo as an "ability", makes sense....right?


I prefer the ammo powers. You still have weapon and armor upgrades. You just have to reserch them and you can't put them on or take them off.



well I prefer weapon and armor upgrades, as there was in KOTOR2 too, I despise some imaginery magical ability to change ammo and especially for classes that suppose to not have any psionic abilities like the soldier

Meh I'm sticking with calling it a customization window. I mean, additions to the 'inventory' are rare, you can't subtract/sell anything of it and it doesn't contain anything story/quest related. Oh wait, you got the ship upgrades, but that's just slightly better than having the Thorium Gas in your inventory.
Not that I care much about inventory. Of the things I think ME2 did wrong, this is definately on the bottom of my list.

Adding to my own post that even if there was a 'sell' option, what would you sell? You could've sold the ammo mods, if there were any. One of the reasons why thought that these 'ammo powers' were a bad idea.

Heh ME1 had the same waist high walls and boxes thing going on but cover was not as huge a deal.

One of the sucky things about shooter games.



Ya, in ME1 you could just spec completely into rifles and just rush into rooms, cover be damned.



Firing an endless stream of bullets Image IPB



I liked that. I always boosted shields the best I was able to, I wanted to play an RPG not a shooter so for me getting theough all the battles was the shooting sequences was the most annoying and was glad I could make a quick end to them either with a rambo action or through sniping


The thing is that ME and ME2 where shooter-RPGs. ME tried to focus on the rPG elemnts and less on the combat but it was lcunky. ME2 focused on the combat which was amazing but only made Shepard truly customizable. Thats why I hope ME3 brings a balance.

The 1 thing I absolutely despised in ME1 was the inventory management.

You could only carry so much and towards mid game you would have to stop literally right in middle of missions just to drop crap from your inventory to make room for cooler and better stuff.

Not to mention, you had to do it all one at time iirc.

Drove me up a wall!

I hate to moan. I have spent so many hours playing DA:O, Awakening and have all the DLC.
When I bought this game I heard how they will bring out loads of DLC.
And as much as a some of the DLC fitted in well with the main game felt let down.
Like in The Longest Journey: Dreamfall.

It sets up all these questions. Morrigan and your Child, the Archietec and lot more then leaves you with no closure on it. Dragon Age has so much potential to go on for another year if they concentrated on propper add-on packs instead instead of pointless DLC like the Darkspawn Chronicles.

I know I'll enjoy Dragon Age 2 when it comes out and spend hours on it.
but if Dragon Age 2 comes out and acts as if all the events of Dragon Age 1 never happened then I will feel let down.

And another thing, with all the choices you could possiby make in a 10 year period how will they ever follow that up in an add-on pack or DLC?
I might be left like I was at the beginning of Awakening and ask myself why I bothered going into so much thought about my choices in DA:O.

So because you did't like the game, you don't want people who might enjoy the game not buy it. Way to be selffish.


Wait, so you recommend things that you've tried and don't like?

Is the child going to grow up and be 18 over night?


Maybe the entire idea of "Origins" was to see how the child was born and to introduce the Dragon Age universe and the child is taking a pivotal role in future games.  

Think about the story arch of all that.  A child born from a Gray Warden and inhabited by the archdemon and mothered by what could be Flemeth, who can take over that body?  You ever think there was a reason why Morrigan vanished?  


Maybe, DAO was just a prequel of things to come so Bioware doesn't have to go back and retcon things.

I guess you either feel your own opinion means nothing and you've never relied on a review of anything, ever, or you're being a blind, frothy-mouthed fanboy. I'm going to hazard a guess and pick the latter.

Why, so because you don't enjoy a game that means no one else should enjoy it? Your opinion is that, an opinion it means nothing. Also yes call me a fanboy, that is always mature.

It's as mature as saying I forced anyone to do anything. I was asked my opinion, and I gave it. My opinion matters to my friends and family, something you're apparently not familiar with.

Nope. I admit I am wary of DA2 right now, but I was wary of DAO at first as well and I ended up loving it. I just wish I hadn't recently fallen in love with dwarves ;)

Well it can be seen as forcing, if you express it in certain manner. ''You shouldn't buy the game, it sucks'' and ''I didn't like the game myself, but you might think differently about it'' aren't exactly same. Give people room to think for themselves and don't pour the pile of crap on something, if there's chance other people might feel differently about it. :?

If they feel differently they can just buy the game :D

Influence isn't force.

ME 2 is the only game Bioware ever made that really let me down.



Even Awakening was pretty good, except for being, as the saying goes "buggier than a rotting corpse"



Granted, the little tidbits about DA 2 have me sensing a "Disturbance in the Force", But tidbits are all we've heard so far. I'll need a lot more information and context before coming to a conclusion.



Even with the bad taste of the Mass Effect sequel in my mouth, Bioware still has some credit with me. I won't preorder like I would have a year ago. But I'm still eager to hear more. If it looks to be even half the game DAO was, I'll happily buy it.



If it looks to be a ME 2 clone, I'll go have a good cry. But I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

They let me down when they didn't allow me to tame a High Dragon and fly him to the castle in Denerim.



Besides that, no.

I began loving Bioware because of Dragon Age, and since its release I have not been dissappointed. I was only dissappointed with the Awakening Dialogue format, as I loved being able to ask each companion questions about their past, not just about the kitten they used to have

Does being "let down" mean pretending like a great game is a mediocre one, due to small-minded stubbornness and anachronistic taste? Then no -- Bioware has never let me down.

Almost all the games follow the same path. Character types are reused repeatedly. Dragon Age didn't really present anything new to the fantasy genre of entertainment.

But even though I have these complaints, I still buy, play, and walk away satisfied. So, no, Bioware hasn't let me down yet. I don't even really mind that TOR is an mmo. If anyone can make a good mmo, it's Bioware.

Hmm, considering people are not only discussing DA2 on this thread, wouldn't this thread be more suited in the Off-topic section?
