Would I want them to go back to Origins completely? No. (I won't be sorry to see the Approval system, gift spamming, grinding dungeons etc. go FOREVER)

But there are some things I DO want back: Less repetetive enviroments & more locations. Isometric camera. Length. Fully equippable companions. More varied plot branches.

Things I want them to keep: Rivalry/Friendship system and Friendship & Rivalmances, Hero developing a personality & thus unlocking different dialogue options & solutions, realistic influence on people (No more God like decisions), the exquisite banter, art style for the elves & qunari (Who now actually LOOK like different races) Fast paced combat system but improvements ARE necessary. Voiced protagonist.

Improvements I would like: Weather & season effects, locations and people changing as time passes, no more exploding bodies but unique animations depending on the skill applied

Some of the issues were fixed by mods (Equipping companions, exploding bodies).


I'd agree with most of this although I don't want to be able to give companions different armor. One of the things DA2 did right was give them specific armor that sometimes changed and could be upgraded. Not to mention making your companions naked isn't right...


Making your companions naked in a game where you end up shagging all of them anyway isnt right?

LOL?


LOL, I dunno about you but I never shagged Wynne or........Oghren!:whistle:

Just because you don't want too, doesn't mean you should strip the ability for others who do want too. Noone put a gun to your head and told you to change their outfits. Nothing beats laying the smackdown on Loghain while he's all armoured up and great big sword and your naked and slapping him and still kick his butt for betraying the King.


I actually would have liked to salute him for doing it. Esp. after RTO. Gawd, glorious Cailan....*gnashes teeth*:devil:


I should expand then (if you would salute him because didn't like the King), to cover the fact he also betrayed you, and hundreds/thousends of other people who were their in order to protect their families from rampage of the blight..

Hello! So, I've read most of the thread (well, all of it). I had bought Dragon Age: Origins when it first came out, but really got to play it now after I bought DA2. The reason was I wanted to fully play DA:O and Awakenings before jumping into Dragon Age 2. So far I'm loving Dragon Age: Origins (Other than the obnoxious horrible issues I've had with the technical side of the DLC DRM system).

I am quite afraid of all the bad press Dragon Age 2, and often find myself thinking: "How bad can it really be?" I am very proud of my Warden, and her development with regards the story, her companions and the story world. She's a beautiful Dwarven noble with an amazing story. I developed fondness for the companions or NPC characters such as Gorim (acted by the actor from Cowboy Beebop).

Now, my question is: Do my decisions, actions, interactions within the DAO world carry over Dragon Age 2? Can anyone give me an unbiased pros and cons with that respect and in general?

Much appreciated!

@ Bob - it might be a glitch, but in a game I had with a Mage, my companions had twice as much of an armor rating than my Mage in Champion Armor. When I saw that I thought something had to be wrong. I'm talking 3-400 armor rating here, for Isabella.


There are a couple of armour glitches relating to armour increasing items. Most notably every time you swap Avelines shield.


You can do that with a S&S Warrior Hawke too.

*Points to sig*

What he did in my opinion was not a betrayal but making a hard choice. A tactical retreat I fully support. But that is a very heated topic on its own. What can I say, Loghain (Right along with Varric) is my favorite DA character of all time.

Yes, I have no taste.:P

Only some. Only visable on some of those some too with the rest in letters recieve which is essentially text reading notes. My suggestion rent first. Then again the price has dropped so vastly it's practically same price as renting to buy now and you get free copy of ME2 on PC.

@ Bob - I was aware of that glitch... though I could never get it to work pre-patch, and now that it's patched it's gone.

This might have been a glitch, but not one I've heard of before. All my companions having hundreds more Armour rating than even the best MC armour in the game? Wild. Not that I'm complaining.

Heck, I might go home later and find all that awesome armor gone. lol.

Brent (lead on DAO) has said himself he didn't like the direction of DA2 and went against the sort of game direction he had created DAO in. Ray and Greg have said that the third person style roleplay in ME did not suit DA and as with the same with wheel and voiced main protagnist mechanics.


That has nothing to do with what I was talking about.  I was talking about people's different opinions and their feedback to the devs.  I was not talking about how people who work for BW disliked the direction DA2 took.

Dragoonlordz wrote...

Don't argue with me about what it is I like just because I am of the same mindset as the creators of DAO in what I want to see in DA, when the developers themselves have been quoted as saying such things in DA2 was not something they either wanted or thought would work within DA.


I didn't.  I was talking about how you have a different opinion to others on this forum.

I think you might be misinterpreting the bit where I said: "No, people are just giving honest feedback on forums to game developers (who are actually the ones that "change all gameplay/genre types"), you just don't like that it doesn't match what you want (which I understand) ." 

When I say "you just don't like that it doesn't match what you want" I'm talking about what posters on this forum like, not the developers.

They didn't let the glowing Origins reviews stop them from changing things, so why would they cave because the reviews are polarized now?

I hope they DON'T go back to the older style by the way.


I don't want them to go totally back but they need to learn you can't pander to one fanbase.

There needs to be a balance to appeal to everybody. They would sell MORE games that way. :wizard:


I wouldn't mind some things of Origins being brought back. I would like a little more freedom regarding companion inventory (having more unique armors to choose from or being able to completely alter the stats of their unique armor). I also would love to have the isometric camera back.

But as I've said before, my quibbles with DA2 are about lack of polish (bugs, rehasehd environments, a rushed soundtrack, and rushed ending to the story), rather than the main design.

Still, I loved Origins (and I still do), so I wouldn't mind to have a hybrid of the two.

Although chief amongst things, so long as they don't go back to a silent protagonist... I'm happy. :)


I definitely agree...

I love my Hawke!  I've playe dboth male and female Hawkes and love them both.

They need to keep the rivalry system...1000 times better than Origins.

I would like to see the return of trap making for the rogue class. I miss that.

They need to tone down the combat for the rogue a bit.   I also see no point in playing an archer rogue because Varric is alway in my party.... Love in too much to leave him behind.

I would also love to see Cassandra as playable in the next game.

And they need to continue with  STRONG female characters! Loved them in this game!!! :wizard:

God, I hope so!


The only things DA:O has over DA 2 is the companion interaction and the ability to choose what armor your party wears.

I personally think DA 2 is overall, way better than DA:O. If you try to play DA:O again, you'll instantly notice how annoying it is that your character is a mute.

Hard to say. Liliana's always alive, regardless. Zevran too but apparently that's a glitch.

And then there's glitches. There's a ton of import bugs, people saying Nathaniel survived Awakening but DA2 reads him as dead (it's something with his disposition in Awakening).

The game is really really bugged in all areas. Import bugs exist. That said, if there weren't any import bugs the influence of an import is small. It mostly allows for cameos and small bits of dialogue.

Like Bodahn saying if the Warden died or not. Little things like that.

Unbiased? Doubtful. :happy:

As you've already registered the game, I'd suggest importing a save & try it. There are still some Import bugs, even with Patch 1.02. There's a mod fixing several of them and Patch 1.03 will fix more. =]

Going back to Origins style? That would make me happy, but I don't think they're going that way. They're going to the awesome door with millions teenagers cheering for them. Rejoice, O DA2 lovers, thou shall have thy awesome game. I know I'm doomed.

I like being able to customize my companions armor. All they had to do was make specific armor. Maybe have a Dalish merchant in the Alienage as well as Sundermount, sell different types of city guard/captain armor, Dwarven armor etc. It can still have a unique style for those who want their companions to be unique as well as let you upgrade companions.

The problem with DA2 is that they didn't try to compromise or reach middle ground on anything, they just cut things out or made wholesale changes to their best selling product ever, and it made no sense.

If I designed the best selling car in my companies history that won all types of car of the year awards. On the next model I'm not making wholesale changes to headlights, taillights, seats, interior, etc.

Thanks for your reply Dragoon, but as I said in my post: I already bought Drago Age 2 :-P

So I'm stuck with it. If only sideline notes are the only reference to Lady Aeducan (my Warden) that carry over, that would be a huge disappointment...

I would've also loved to play a Dwarf in Dragon Age 2. I love their lore, and in my opinion (Having played most Origin stories) the Dwarven Noble origin is very engaging and thrilling... And their lore very 'epic'.

I'm sorry but ppl are highly understating the matter.

Your decisions do show up in DA II, a lot of it influencing little fetch-quests you might have to take, or kill-quests. No spoilers but:

Depending on who you put on Orzammar's throne, you might end up with a kill-quest
Depnding on who you sided with - Werewolves or the Dalish, there could be a kill-quest or a fetch quest.
If you played Awakenings there's a kill-quest there.

That's just off the top of my head.

Characters in the world will mention or talk about what's going on in Thedas because of how you left it in DA:O. Again, depending on who you left on the Dwarven throne, people might talk about who's in charge and how they're leading.

In any case, the choices you made in DA:O won't completely colour and change the world in DA II, but it'll add some little flares here and there. Not groundbreaking stuff... think like how it happened in Mass Effect I & 2.

That's the truth of it. Hope that helps!

EDIT: Also, the import bugs seem to effect imported saves from the DLC's, not the vanilla game. I imported all my saves from the vanilla games and I can report that all the choices made in the game (Save Leliana and Zevran) were 100% correct.

If you're on the PC, Nexus offers several Mods that give your companions Hawke's Equipment layout, as well as a Mod that offers different kinds of armors instead of upgrades. (With different specs) Cannot imagine DAII without them now..:wub:

The human Mage and the Dalish Elf Wardens get shout outs like that. The rest don't. At least not that I've seen.

Thanks Foolsfooly and Persephone. Well, I won't import yet, want to finish DA:O and Awakenings first... hopefully by the time I'm finished there will be more fixed and more retroactive fixes. I daresay the reason the game had the flaws it had was because of the pressure the developer team had for a quick release. 


As I have seen from other offical posts they're trying to patch it up - the optimistic me hopes that by the time I finish playing Origins and Awakenings, a substantial part of the game will be closer to what would've been originally intended.

With regards to your warden, from what I recall the main mention is when talking with Bo and Sandal even then it's very short and barely touches the sides. Apart from that there was few instances in pub where some NPCs talked about a couple of things which you could merely listen too. Also couple returning characters for breif time in game like single dialogue.

I'm sorry but ppl are highly understating the matter.

Your decisions do show up in DA II, a lot of it influencing little fetch-quests you might have to take, or kill-quests. No spoilers but:

Depending on who you put on Orzammar's throne, you might end up with a kill-quest
Depnding on who you sided with - Werewolves or the Dalish, there could be a kill-quest or a fetch quest.
If you played Awakenings there's a kill-quest there.

That's just off the top of my head.

Characters in the world will mention or talk about what's going on in Thedas because of how you left it in DA:O. Again, depending on who you left on the Dwarven throne, people might talk about who's in charge and how they're leading.

In any case, the choices you made in DA:O won't completely colour and change the world in DA II, but it'll add some little flares here and there. Not groundbreaking stuff... think like how it happened in Mass Effect I & 2.

That's the truth of it. Hope that helps!


I'm glad to see you forgot to mention some things don't show up or it shows up differently than it actually happened in your import.

Fair enough, I liked how ME2 carried over stuff from ME1. However the main difference is that in ME2 you were still Shepard, so there is a deeper endearing factor for the main character. And a bit of nostalgic flavor when you re-encounter characters such as "Joker".

I'd ratehr believe bIO would try to take the best of both games and keep what wotks in both instead of having a silly ahd line like fanboys of eitehr games where it has to be all DA1 stuff or all DA2 stuff.

They both don greta things. The npcs in DA2 are strong, the story is more PC centric in DA2, the combat talents wheels are better done in DA2. The character system, origins, and non combat skills in DA1 are awesome.

Let's do both.

I actually edited my post to reflect what didn't show up properly and the issue with imports. Glad to see your paying so much attention to what I write. =)
