I'd question the "recycled dungeons" comment, especially with the reviewer's last line above. It's probable you'll be revisiting areas over the course of the 10 year storyline, although it wouldn't surprise me if there were some generic areas present.


Every review I've seen has mentioned that. Like re-used caves and basements.

What did DAO get?


9.0, according to the website.

OP, thanks for sharing. Good to see the game getting nice reviews.

Edit: I'm also curious btw about more snippets of the review, if it's not too much trouble. So, please do PM me if you don't mind.

I'd be named of the so called "Purists", but hell, that sounds like a very good change! :D
Underpants Hugging was awful. I slammed the controller in my face to try get the image out of head.

I get the feelings that the caves we can explore around Kirkwall (he ones mentioned in achievements) are the copy/paste dungeons.

I doubt it's as bad as Origins was about reusing things.

edit: also PM me too.

I'm beginning to think it might be easier to just post them in the thread and update the thread title accordingly or something. ;)

I'm not too worried about the dungeons as long as their not cookie-cutter areas like in Mass Effect.

If they are like DA:O (i.e. reused textures, but different layout), I'm fine with that.

I still maintain it was the designers trying to encourage "safe sex". :innocent:

Recycled dungeons is located in every single RPG, the only thing we are missing is the "start the game by killing rats" scenario. You just can't have a good RPG if you aren't diving down into some cave or dungeon on a consistence basis. How many times can you change the look of them? Its dark, gloomy, dirty...torches light the way...maybe some lava or its a frozen cave....

Mine was "WTF this is supposed to be an 18 rated game".

It's debatable whether review content that tens of thousands of people will read counts as a spoiler anyway. Just post them and edit the thread title and OP.

But they are exact one-to-one copies, according to one of the german reviews at least.

Origins has a lot of areas, DA2 apparently does not. Probably why every reviewer seems to have noticed stuff being re-used. Yes all games do it, but when you notice it that much something is off.

Yes, according to the 3 German reviews, the reused dungeons are exactly the same place, just with a different name and different items/monsters in it.

no way, I have to refuse to believe that.  They may look the same but they all have differen't layouts.  No game does the same dungeon over and over and over.....Hell even during the NES days, dungeons may have looked the same but they were not the same layout.
