Cod dammit...

I don't like not having a final boss, Fable 2 did it and it was rather anti-climatic.

Well, Bioware's writers are better at story telling so there's a good chance they can make it feel more epic, and not the let down feeling I received from Fable 2.

I like that there's no big bad. The idea of a power struggle between three factions is far more interesting to me, but I guess we'll have to see how it goes.

The PC gamer UK review (the one that gave it 94) was so painful to read. It read like it was written by a teenager taking a combination of steroids and viagra. It was full of many of the marketing talking points which have just plain sucked, and it opened the review by bashing Origins.

Overuse of streois usually kills the male sex drive, so that makes exactly zero sense.

edit: Oh, you changed your reply. First, it was a joke, and second it was meant to imply that the reviewer bought into the stupid visceral (aggression from steroids) /sexier (viagra) marketing speak.

Don't really see why going back to the same place multiple times is such a big issue since DAO had that too.



I remember several side quests require you to go back to the Deep Roads, Brecilian Forest, and Denerim outskirts to find and kill stuff.

Yes, apparently we can side with the Qunari.

Most excellent news <3

Not that I want to side with Qunari, but having that option means it is stille even-handed in the handling of the story.

Ah yes, I'm fanatical about my typos and editing in general. Well, put that way, it certainly makes more sense now.

Well since you can see the effect of your choices maybe if you did something bad the cave will grow red.

oh well DAO did not really had a good antagonist anyway (Archdemon...really nothing, Logain meh)
I hope it does not feel like NWN 2 where the later course of the game felt REALLY rushed...

What the hell are you talking about? Loghain was one of the best villains in any game.

As a character, he was great, but he was hardly the main focus. In ME 1, it was all about stopping Saren: Saren was the threat. In Dragon Age, Loghain took a backseat to the Darkspawn: you weren't gathering armies to take  down Loghain after all.

seems to be the new hip thing in the gaming industry. Make a good game, then make the 2nd and 3rd crap for a quick buck off the console noobs.



Old story is gettin old.

They said that most of the game was spent in Kirkwall running errands for the three factions. Qunari, Circle and Chantry. Yes, apparently we can side with the Qunari.

Well I am looking forward to this. Maybe it adds more replay value?

Why can't the game come out the 1st instead of the 8th

The same cave, or three caves that look the same?  I'm only asking because I'd like to know if they made it clear, and the former wouldn't bug me - personally - as much as the latter.

The same cave.

Well, I'm not so sure about that. I read the article too, and I got the impression they meant that you visit three different caves, and all of them looks the same...

All the random areas in DAO were recycled. Battlefield, the place you pick up Dog were the same place, etc. not to mention the Denerim 'alleyways'.

With no disrepsect.  Loaghin is an empty shell what he should have been.   he is setup as a tactical genius, everything he does is moronic and stupid.

if he truly is a military genius and hated the Olesians he would have simply allow the king the latitude to invide in the chavaliers and wasted them on the battlefield.  Not only will this weaken the Olesians it would poison any possible relationship between 2 kingdom far more than he ever accompolished in  DAO.

They dumbed him down to give the wardens a chance and made him a brute with only the hammer in his toolbox.  

[OSUfan12121]

Because x_rum_x is a troll and has been putting down bioware the past week saying that they're not as good as TW2 and skyrim

[Riona45]

The "recycled areas" bit doesn't worry me, because as others have said, there were recycled areas in DA:O as well, and I found them rather glaring. Nothing new.

[Gibb_Shepard]

Well, that's not cool. The main thing i expect from DA2 is a good story. The last few reviews i've seen now comment on DA2's inferior story. That's really the last thing i expected to be bad.



Do they mention the character interaction at all? Compared to DAO?

[DJBare]

My pre-order is hanging precariously in the balance, I can accept the ninja style rogues and the putty parade darkspawn, but a weak story, that will take a lot to stomach.

I'm about as old school as it gets these days. If we took a vote, I might be one of the few who wants to abandon 3d gaming and go back to Infinity Engine in a heartbeat. Those beautiful hand-drawn environments are timeless wonders to me.

But DAO combat was absolutely atrocious. It had to be changed, it felt like an MMO.
