Bioware did the best of a job that EA pushed a timelimit towards, neither party is guilty but given the time Bioware had to make this id say this was an absoleute miracle made flesh.
The systems that were addressed and complained about in Origins were addressed and what I am amused by is how people who complained about them now complain about number two. I would go as far to say there are some people who will never be satisfied untill a game is either exactly the same as BG or the same as WoW or the same as Diablo.
This is none of the above, remember that.
Things change, gameplay changes story changes its the way it works.
Now, without spoiling:
Dragon Age 2 fleshes out things that Origins did not. Granted there isnt as much grandeur atmosphere to things and it isnt the LOTR style "get out of jail free" for every decision you do story. But thats the thing...
Its a dark fantasy, and its truer to Dragon Age's intended setting than its predacessor was by a long shot.
As for the combat, people who protest about the combat forget about why they protested about the previous games combat.
The pace is beautiful the gameplay is absoleutley satisfying.
I dont just say these things in fangasm, I say them as a very "hard to please" individual who has enough games and experience with them to know what makes an rpg good, and this is a good rpg that to me, compairs as an EQUAL to Baldurs Gate 2.
I do "not" say that lightly.
There are "some" who on this forum, have an unjustified reason to complain because they follow the crowd. One sheep says the game is bad a hundred others who might not have even played it will agree because they dont want to be in trouble.
Well, I dont care what the crowd thinks, I defend Dragon Age 2 because Bioware made a GOOD RPG if not the best RPG of 2011 and perhaps another 10 years running.
This is by far one of the most enjoyable rpgs ive ever played for a looooong time.
Keep 'em comming Bioware, you have my love and support, even if others dont share it.
Oh and credit to Zur for an even better soundtrack than its predacessor, not that Origins was bad.
Origins was a great game, but 2 added things that Origins did not and what it did add, it did well.
Oh and on a final note: I dont know what all this garbage is about finishing the game in 15 hours, sure if you ignore the side quests it probably is a short story but then again most rpgs and video games "are" if you ignore the side-quests.
Do Baldurs Gate before you tell me im wrong.
If you ignore all the side-quests and fleshed out content of BG and its sequal you will find bioware did the best they could. The few critisms I can give to the game are overlooked by the fact they counter-themselves when you think about it hard enough.
So again, anyone who dislikes this game can stuff it, Bioware did what they could in less than a year and made a great game, proof that a developer can do something quickly and still make an amazing peice of art.
Passionate as my words are, I believe them fully.
Give my love to David Gaider for hiring Torchwood staff and MORE WELSH ELVES PLEASE GOD.
...Please?
Thanks
.Love you guys, take care and goodluck with Dragon Age 3, I am expecting even more of it, dont let me down!
