DA:O > DA:2

Sten and cookies. Sten telling Morrigan that he accepts her offer of sex but to take certain precautions. All banter with Oghren. All banter with Zevran. Wynne and Alistair. Leiliana and Morrigan shopping, Morrigan and Alistair constantly at each other.

Compare that with forced and sometimes poorly timed banter between those abominations in DA:2

Oghren was supposed to be funny? I just assumed they ran out of ideas for characters and just started making unfunny "lol he's drunk" jokes.

You must be a Leo. In either case, i agree completely.

Two words: "Not enchantment!"

I was also very disappointed with the lack of humor in DA2. The humor is missing not just in the companion interaction, but also in Hawke's replies.

I will say, though, is that Bioware did a very good job with Merrill. She doesn't say much, but what she says is often funny. Her animation at times is also amusing - watch her closely, she sometimes seems to be awkwardly staring off into space. We need more of that.

Did we get the same party dialouge? I almost cried from laughing. 

[/b]Varric[/b]: Rivaini, stop looking at my chest. My eyes are up here.

Isabela[/b]: But the chest hair...

Varric[/b]: Do you know how much I suffer under your gaze? I am a person, not an object!

Isabela[/b]: Uh, Varric?

Varric[/b]: Just ****ting you.
--------------------------

Varric[/b]: I **** you not, Rivaini, it was this big.
Isabela[/b]: There's no way. Impossible! I've had hundreds of those in my hands, and they're never that size.
Varric[/b]: Would I lie about something so critical?
Anders[/b]: I can't stand it anymore, what are you two talking about?
Varric[/b]: We're discussing knives of course. Well, daggers technically, I never remember the difference. Why? What did you think we were talking about?

I laughed even when there were no conversation for a minute.

Aveline: It's a nice night for an... evening.

I don't remember laughing very much in origins... But I did fall on the floor laughing at some of the dialogue in DA2. I'm not gonna call it there best game, but for me... its there best voiced dialogue by far xD

[HawXV2]

Along with most everything else, the comedy was superior when said. Although, Origins did it constantly.

It's just that Merrill is too real - she's obviously based on a real person - no-one who didn't know these Welsh mannerisms could have written her - the other Irish/Welsh characters are just accents.

Can I ask what you mean by this?

He's referring to Eve Myles, the VA for Merrill who's also known as Gwen from the Torchwood tv series. Now, personally, I love her voice and her welshness, Americans of europeans who are not familiar with the Welsh might not pick up on it or even identify the accent but my welsh wife and I certainly do and for us its simply hilarious.

Merrill sounds like your typical not-so-bright Welsh valley girl and I can see how that would be hard for some to not break immersion, I personally just cant stop laughing

I guess that perhaps it depends on who you associate her with: to me, she sounds and acts a lot like someone I knew at college, who was intelligent but also had a certain naivety about the world.  So a not entirely different personality type I suppose...

[nijnij]

Merrill made me laugh a few times, or go "awwww", I'm not sure . Whenever I had her along, she'd say something cute/funny. Her ingenuous side compared with the party's general toughness creates constant comic relief IMO. Whatever comment Varric makes is always put in a stylish way too, I thought I'd get tired of that character quickly but I didn't. Companions' VAs did a great job btw.

There is an entire set of dialog choices that is essentially Hawke being a comedian.

Yep, the worst comedian in the world.

I've just given Isabella a Rigid Boning (armour), however, and the Frankie Howerdness of it is making up for it a little bit.

Merrill and Isabela were the best, but all had funny lines. 'Cept Fenris. He seemed.... opposed to laughter in general. Can't blame him though.
───────
Bethany: So... you've been with women... in bed?
Isabela: Shocking, isn't it? You see, sweetness, men are only good for one thing, women are good for six
Bethany: Six? Which six?
Hawke: Isabela!
Isabela: (Laughs)


Isabela: So what's with that magical fisting thing you do?
Fenris: I'm...sorry?
Isabela: You know, when you stick your hand into people.
Fenris: Oh. That. Yes. It's a...talent.
Isabela: You could make so much coin with that.


Sebastian: Is this getting you any closer to your ship?
Isabela: Huh?
Sebastian: I just don't understand why you're working with Hawke. You don't seem to care about anything we do. What's keeping you here?
Isabela: Mostly the sex. Hawke is an absolute tiger between the sheets. I mean all night, every night. Oh cute! You're blushing.

----------------------------------

Merrill: "Does all this feel like a dream to you, too?"
Hawke: "In a moment, I'll look down and discover I'm not wearing any pants."
Merrill: *giggles* "The Champion of Kirkwall, going into battle naked. Why don't I ever have that dream?"


Merrill: I heard Varric say you used to be a Grey Warden.
Anders: I was.
Merrill: I met a warden once, back in Fereldan. Duncan, I think his name was. Very odd man. He had a marvelous beard though. I'd never seen one before. I thought a squirrel had grabbed him by the chin.


Merrill: Ser Pounce-a-lot... who knighted him?
Anders: Is that a serious question?
Merrill: Did he have a little sword, or just his claws? I bet he had a dashing cap with a feather in it!
Anders: Would you stop making fun of my cat?
Merrill: Oh... no hat, then?


Isabela: You and Hawke... something's there, isn't there?
Merrill: He's clever, strong, and wonderful. How can anyone not love him?
Isabela: Oh, I could give you a list, but that would just bore you.
Isabela: So... did you get naked?
Merrill: Isabela!
Isabela: Ooh, look at that blush. That good, huh?


Merrill: I've never met a dwarf before.
Varric: That's becouse you spend too much time frolicking in the woods Daisy. Dwarfs don't frolic.
Merrill: Dalish don't realy frolic either, not in the woods anyway.
Varric: What? You have sanctured frolicking areas?
Merrill: No, just not in the woods, the trees get jealous.
Varric: But you do frolic?
Merrill: Of course we do, we wouldn't be elves otherwise


Merrill: Your armor is very shiny, Sebastian. Doesn't that make you an easier target?
Sebastian: The light of the Maker is my armor, Merrill. I am not afraid.
Merrill: Perhaps you could ask him to shine less so you wouldn't have to wear as much armor.


Sebastian: Have you heard the Chant of Light?
Merrill: That's the song they sing at the Chantry, right? It's pretty, but a little...repetitive.
Sebastian: Then you know the story? How Andraste became the Maker's divine bride and convinced Him to offer us a second chance? Her mortal husband betrayed her out of jealousy.
Merrill: But if He wanted her to spread her faith, couldn't she do that better alive?
Sebastian: The Maker gave us free will. By his betrayal, Maferath showed us that men were not yet worth saving.
Merrill: I don't know. It's a nice story, but I think it's got some holes.


Merrill: If your city was stolen, why not just call the guards?
Sebastian: I'm afraid the matter can't be handled by guards, Merrill.
Merrill]: Aveline could help you! She's very good at making thieves give things back. I think it's because she's so tall.
Sebastian: This is beyond even Aveline's power, I'm sad to say.
Merrill: Are you sure? Have you seen her hit people?


Sebastian: So what do you believe, Merrill?
Merrill: Our gods abandoned us long ago. They haven't answered our prayers since the fall of Arlathan. When we prove that we're elves again, that we didn't lose everything, they'll come back to us.
Sebastian: We say the same of the Maker. Perhaps they're only different names for the same divine force that created the world.
Merrill: The Maker wants you to be elves?

Am I the only one who picked up on the whole Scarface reenactment in one of Varric's personal quests ? That was just awesome.

Nah. A lot of people saw it and had to laugh if they saw the movie, but they were overwhelmed by the fact the Varric was literally shoving bolts into places where the sun don't shine.

[nijnij]

I'm pretty sure that's David Gaider winking at us :

[Pygmali0n]

'I like big boats, I cannot lie'. Ok - some of the old DA:O magic is back. Can't believe she'd sell me out for a mere two masted brigantine though.

[Noviere]

I found DA2 really funny. I'm on my second playthrough, and trying a different set of companions... and the banter is killing me. I basically ignored Merrill the first time through, but now I can't live without her.

Also, the Long Road quest is HILARIOUS. God I love Aveline.

^ i would totally vote for Varric in 2012 if i could.. he'd be the best. (yeah, it's off topic...well... kinda... still funny. >.> <.<)

[Taritu]

I find much more humor in the conversations than in DAO, honestly.

[Taritu]

Oh, and witty Hawke, when asked if certain women are dead, says something about boneless women flopping around Kirkwall. God the Templar was mad, but Maker helped me, I laughed.

I do think Femhawke is generally better at the witty lines, and maleHawke generally better at the other ones.
