DA2 takes place in an area about the size of Orzammar. It's not a big game, there's no "big goal", it's just a reality tv show and most of it is the story of your life of doing fedex quests.

Well this is something i have decided to share.



I have just finished DA:O, a game has never gripped me so much. I have a weird
feeling that no game i have ever played in the past has made me feel, its a low
sinking feeling wondering what’s happened to my character and morrigan, i have
really immersed my self in this game and created a story along the way - from
how he rose to be a grey warden to the end battle.



So much so that i scrambled for the DLC of witch hunt, i had to see the end !



I have DA:2 on order and cant wait for it to arrive, i heave read alot of
negative reviews but if the story is as powerful as DA:O im sure im going to be
playing that for days to come !

Completely agree. Reading the epilogue at the end of your first playthrough really gives that shiver up your spine... In fact, even after multiple playthroughs, talking to the characters before the final battle in Denerim still gives that odd feeling...

DA2 is dreadful. The story is non-existent. I'm back to playing DAO.

Did you playthrough with Awakenings attached?

I decided to skip awakening as it doesn't really provide any background to the old characters so i read.

Unless i am mistaken and leads to DA2 ?

You should play through Origins -> Awakenings -> Golems of Amgarrak -> Witch Hunt

That's the only order you can play all 4 'campaigns' and still import to DA2. I would certainly get Awakenings before DA2 - DA2 is not very good at all. I would recommend playing the above 4 campaigns in order, importing each time and then buying and importing your Witch Hunt file into DA2. I wouldn't buy DA2 now though - aside from a few references, it's completely different to Origins.

Stoped midway through DA 2 (or thereabots) a week ago and have been playing Origins on a job pc now and then since. Finally back home are about to crank it up on my 360 once more.
So looking forward to it and go all the way with dlc and awakenings.
Got time now to do it and to me DA 2 was more of meh, so i am quite excited right now.
Pondering on a mage, hmmm will see what it will be in 20 mins or so. Coffe and some cakes comming up before I let myself slip into the DA world once more.

[Solkazo]

Just started my second play through as my copy of DA2 still hasn't reached me yet.

Its strange, this play through everything seems more powerful - obviously cant mention certain events due to spoilers but i think you can guess what early on ones i mean , This game is just amazing - instead of rushing the story i am taking my time to do every side quest and speak to every NPC. I have found out so much more about the characters i play along side. Never seen a game with so much replay value, im amazed :happy:

Now the next difficult decition, who do i go for

Never heard it put so succinctly, but this sums it up.

In my experience, gaming companies (in the RPG realm at least) make one epic masterpiece, and while some of their other efforts may be fantastic, they always fail to live up to the magic of that one special game. The only exception I've personally found to that rule has been the Final Fantasy series. They had a small number of epics (IV, VI, VII, VIII and IX). But Bethesda had it with Morrowind, Mistwalker studios had Lost Odyssey, and Bioware have DA:O.

Good to see someone else has good taste in RPGs 

[IKEAboy2006]

I feel your pain... I've not completed Origins yet and have already spent waaay too many hours in there, but I'm loving every second of it. I have avoided DA2 completely... played the demo and that was enough to put me off it completely (doesn't hold a candle to origins).

Talking about being depressed.. .jeez... even your avatar looks depressed lol.

[footballzach50]

The same thing happend to me with Mass Effect 2. I went from Savior of the galaxy and idol of humanity, back to a normal everyday life.

[TheReignmaker]

@ OP: Awakening does add to the story, if only a little.

If you're depressed about the whole Morrigan-thing, I would get the Witch Hunt DLC. You've probably heard it's super short and it doesn't add a lot as far as new information, but if Morrigan was your gal throughout the Origins it provides the closure you're likely missing.

[Miss Lonelyhearts]

I feel the same. I didn't think it could get worse than finishing ME:2, grinding through all its DLC, and then realizing I had nothing left . . .then I picked up DA:O. I'm about a third through it. . .but I know I'm in for the same heartache. DAII is on the way as well. . .I'm prepared for an inferior game, but at least it will keep me in that world a little longer.

[anotherunoriginalname]

play through dao again, please, you will enjoy it more as a different character background story fills in more and you may come to like or hate some people that you chose to work with the first time, like maybe the choice between balin or harrowmont

[evildoneright]

I have a quick question. I'm going to buy DA:O again cause I loved the story and I miss playing it. But this time I'm getting the ultimate edition. Is there any particular order I should play all the DLC's in that will come with the game? Thanks!

[evildoneright]

Actually correction. I found the order I believe. Sorry about that. My other question would be..I played DA:O and beat it but without dlc except awakening. But I've been debating between buying ultimate edition or Mass effect 2 which I've never played. Any opinions just for the heck of it?

[DeathScepter]

both are good. I do say saved for both.

[evildoneright]

Yeah, thats the problem I'm running into lol think I'll trade in my rdr and get ME2 and buy ultimate edition in the next few weeks. But I still want to buy Lost Odyssey since i've never beaten it either. Decisions decisions

[Ferelden_Ranger]

Dragon Age Origins is one of my favorite games, and I have done every play-though for it. It truly is a great game and all the choices you have are are amazing. DA2 was a big downer for me since it cut down on the choices, the combat system feels like god of war, and parts of the plot line feel forced in order for it to work.

[evildoneright]

So DA2 is pretty much a worthless game? Not really worth playing at all?

[Raijin93]

I got Origins about a week ago due to a recommendation from a friend, freaking awesome game so far and I just know that I'm going to regret beating this game. I've already plugged about 30 hours into it so far and am extremely immersed in the story line. I'll probably put about 3-400 hours into this game just to experience all the story lines and dlc before I head to DA2, even if it turns out to be crap it's still a continuation of the story, and from what I've heard Bioware was planning on making the Dragon Age series a franchise.

[evildoneright]

I will get DA2 once the price drops on it, it's not worth 48 used right now anyways. But like you said I will play it just to keep DA alive in my heart

[scotsman23]

I just finished my first playthrough 2 days ago, and I feel exactly the same as the OP.

Finishing the game left me with a feeling of depression and emptiness. All of the characters felt like real people, and I felt like I was saying goodbye to all my friends. I guess this is a testament to the absolutely amazing writing this game has.

Right now I'm trying to decide whether to continue with awakening or start another origins playthrough.

As for Dragon age 2, from what I've heard and from playing the demo it seems like they butchered everything that was great about Origins.

I felt depressed and sad because me and my companions went through a lot together and i really bonded with most of them...except Oghren but I didn't really spend as much time with him as the others. But I also felt very satisfied, because my character managed to complete his quest and become a hero at the end.

I also felt like I could kill a dragon with a punch to the face.
