Niothing to admit. DS2 is an awesome game equal to DA1, and vastly better than KOTOR.


I agree that Dead Space 2 is a good game, but still not as good as Origins for my tastes.

Can you please stop hating on KOTOR in every single post you write. We know you despise it, but a lot of others don't, so stop, it's getting old.

None of this changes the fact that DA2 is vastly superior to KOTOR.

Such a clever person like you should notice.

But arguing about DA2 is relevant, as this is the DA forums, and not the KOTOR forums, is it not?

I use quotes.


"But arguing about DA2 is relevant, as this is the DA forums, and not the KOTOR forums, is it not?"

Eveyrbody has sued the DA2 forums to bash  DA2 in comparison to other BIO games in thread after thread post after post. Only fair that it gets praised over other BIO games on its own forums.

This is why DA2 is superior to KOTOR. Just deal with it.


P.S. I'm not gonan troll KOTOR on its own forum since I think KTOOR fans should be able to enjoy their foums in peace out of respect. Besdies, nopbody would care since nobody important really cares aboutt he overrated KOTOR anymore.

R00fles!

I agree with Mr. Laidlaw on what they chose to do for DA2 combat and story-wise. I loved the damned if you do, damned if you don't thing. People who loved the end of ME2 I can't understand. The giant robot baby thing? Really? The Contra-type set up against a big half body baby thing robot? Really? Best game of 2010? Um. Yeah I thought it was a boat load of fun, but come on people. At least with DA2 they mix it up a bit. Just because Merrideth doesn't show up to later doesn't mean the story is bad. It just means it doesn't follow the exact same stupid formula like everything else (looks at LOTR spin offs)
Of course I'd love more varied looking areas, and honestly, there *are* a couple of side quests that could have been cut/ handled better so we could get more areas and maybe more attention to the main storyline. But seriously, DA:O's combat is ridiculously slow and old timey. Why would people be so angry about the new combat system?
I know they're listening (I mean the BW gang) and they understand the 'backlash' but I too am a fan of the DA-verse and I have to say, all in all, it's a vast improvement on Origins.

People who think KOTOR was better to play than DA2 need to do a side by side comparison by playing both games back to back. Kotor is a game that does not age well at all.

Once I finished DA2 for the second time, I went back and played KotOR. I had a lot more fun with it than with DA2. I like all three games, don't get me wrong, but there was something about KotOR that I liked better over what DA2 had to offer. Obviously it's not the pinacle of gaming perfection, but I firmly believe it holds its own next to DA2.

I don't fault Laidlaw for what he's saying here. For one, it's his baby; I completely understand him getting defensive (and even a smidge insulting) about it. I don't like how he's handling things, but I won't get angry. If people were as vehemently opossed to something I created and was proud of, I'd be super defensive at first as well. For another, he had some fantastic ideas with DA2. Not all of his ideas were great, or even good, but the ones that worked worked well. I doubt he'll be the sole lead on the next game, given the reception of it and the plumetting sales, but he should definitely be part of the lead team. He just needs someone there to help dial him back a bit.
DA2 is, in my opinion, a decent game with a lot of wasted potential. DAO did a lot of things better, but DA2 had a lot to offer as well and I sincerely hope with the third installment they take the best of both games.

Do you see Dragon Age ever revisiting the traditional tactical gameplay found in Origins?

[i]It really depends on the definition of tactical. For some, it simply  means "slower." For others it means more complicated combat scenarios  and more engaging/challenging foes. To the former, I would say no. I  personally find the responsiveness and personality of the new combat  system to be much better for Dragon Age as a whole. My experience with the game feels more like I'm in control, rather than issuing orders, and
that direct correlation to my actions is something I really enjoy.  This is speaking as a habitual PC pause-and-player.


That alone makes it highly unlikely for me to even check out an eventual DA3. Why don't they just split it into two distinct product lines? One with the fast paced action combat and one with a more traditional combat system.

As for the "complicated combat scenarios"... The last thing I need are some more MMO-style boss fights, if I want those I'll fire up one of the MMOs I'm playing.

I respectfully have to disagree with this comment.

Personally I can play and enjoy KOTOR many times DA2.... i had to really battle to get through one.

KOTOR is ... 8 years old is it? must be around that. Yet people still play it fairly often I'm not sure the same will be said for DA 2 in even 2 years....

I still find his whole attitude arrogant. "If you dont like it your stuck in the past"... yeah thanks for that.

Maybe they just enjoy what KOTOR offers more than they enjoy what DA2 offers, despite all the benefit of advancements that DA2 should benefit from. 

Of course, the prequels of a certain relevent setting should have benefitted from years of advances, and yet were worse... possibly because the maker so concentrated on those advances that he failed to write or direct the actual story with any skill or attention to detail...


That said, it's somewhat ironic that a lot of the melee combat hijinks and acrobatics in DA2 would have been more appropriate for post-prequel Jedi than for the Dragon Age setting!

KotOR's not my favourite BioWare RPG by any means (I dislike the lack of party control), but at least it lets you roleplay your character.  In that respect KotOR might be BioWare's finest RPG (BG and NWN also score very well on this count).

He's too busy being besieged defending the undefendable, that he's no longer writing correctly.

*bumps up* Just read it. Confirms the line of interviews of what Laidlaw has said before.... each time increasing my fear that in case the same team that made DA2 will be responsible for DA3, it will be an totally dumbed-down, bad experience.

Back to the interview. Now I start to hate Laidlaw, he obviously knows nothing. Telling us to play on Hard when we already beat the game on Nightmare is insulting. Playing DA2 on H/NM just increase the frustration, it doesn't make the game any more tactical.
This is a sign that Bioware is not listening. I guess DA3 is going to be more "awesome" with one map and hundreds waves of enemies.

Why not go play the overrated KOTOR and let the big boys play DA2 which is 1 million times better than the the overrated KOTOR.

Go ahead and report me. Defending DA2 on the DA2 forums is not trolling. Just honest opinion. if you cna't hack someone thinking x game is betetr than y game, that's not my issue.

DA2 is a vastly superior game than KOTOR. deal with it.

If you play the game more tactically, Hard and Nightmare shouldn't be more frustrating than Casual.
