If you didn't get teary eyed during act 2 you have no soul.

YES!   Exactly.    There was one prominent quest there that got me my first three play throughs DA II.   I loved Origons but was not affected as much by it as  that quest and story line.

Yes, because I realized I just flushed 60 bucks down the crapper

I found this video on youtube on Duncan's death. While not the best, it still made me misty-eyed, and makes me love origins all the more.

At times I felt so detached. I don't think I felt anything for the death of my mother other than "Aw, man". Yet, I felt heartbroken to know that my character's love didn't make a difference with Anders choice with the Chantry or Fenris's indifference as to why he left.
But to the point of teary eyed...no. Just more disappointed and perturbed.

In Origins i had a lot of really emotional moments.
In DA2? Only for Leandra i felt sorry in the first playthrough because i let go Dupois away, and i thought that when i had stopped him, i could have saved leandra.
But on the second playthrough i learned that leandra's dead was just another railroaded event. The end of DA2 is absolute emotionless.

Return to Ostagar seeing what they did to Cailan had some emotion to it for me, especially Cailan (I certainly felt sorry for him) because he always struck me he had the innocence of a child and excitment of fighting alongside a group of people (Grey Wardens) he has grown up adoring with childlike enthusiasm ~I could imagine him playing with Warden action figures growing up lol. Only for Loghain to betray him, no matter whether you think Loghain did the right thing or not it was still a betrayal. For that betrayal I stripped naked and embarresed him by beating him down with no clothes on (female Warden that time around) using only her fists and slaps to make him feel less than a man even using his big sword and full armour still getting beat. Then cut off his head with no regrets.

I left that fool strung up so the scavengers could get him. His tale was done, another dead king in the history books. He didn't deserve special treatment, what about the many that died during the Blight that had their bodies scavenged too!?

Also, if anyone read the books, Loghain was a much more complex character than DA:O showed. Was he evil? No. He thought he was doing it for the better good in Ferelden, despite committing such a terrible crime. In the end though, what he caused was more death and political strife than he anticipated. Good thing he didn't end up as a king.

I had no tears in DAO, some emotions but not as much as I had in DA2, and I cried at the end of All that Remains.

I was just glad when DA2 was over. I don't like leaving things unfinished unless it's for a good reason it would bother me.

Most of those people I never met so no feelings about them at all. The ones I did meet I have no idea about most of their fates as their bodies were not present so I do not know if they escaped or if were eaten. Take also into account the very limited interaction with most and their personalities being barely touched upon through very small dialogue I never felt much for them. Like I said to me Cailan came across as childlike in innocence and enthusiasm for his life long idols the wardens, relying on stories grew up with of their prowess and the belief that Loghain would have his back with stratagy and reinforcement prior to the betrayal, I felt more for him than NPC A or B of which I never spoke to or only had a couple of dialogue lines to get across their personalities.

I felt nothing for Hawkes mother, for few reasons, the dropped on him at start without backstory which was slightly made up for prior to 'All That Remains' but not enough. Especially given the way timed/events were used only for interactions for the most part in DA2 meaning I could not go any deeper into her background or the families than waiting for quests and events to start. Also unlike some people who felt more towards that quest, seem to have real life loss of a mother which the quest reminded them of which is what their emotional response relates too rather than to a vast amount of other people who might not have suffered that real life loss myself included. The bond wasn't built up enough to change her from NPC to someone I cared about. On top of that it did nothing more than annoy me that she claimed to be seeing someone but in all the time prior to that quest Hawke never once was allowed to go meet this person and give him a once over to see if he was right or good for his mother, or even talk more about them find out who this person was or speak about it in more depth was stupid imho and unrealistic to me.

Yep, better than anything i've seen in DA2 that was supposed to make me cry.

OMG. Scary darkspawn. Actual scary, neck-hair raising darkspawn. Duncan, broken and dead. This is sad, so very sad.

I'm sorry, but I felt little at the end of "All that remains." I wanted to. I really did. But Hawke's relationship with Leandra was nothing like my relationship with my own mother. It was so cold, so disconnected. They hardly ever talked. I knew nothing of her. I would've bombarded my mother with questions during a certain conversation. It was not enough to pull me in. She was too distant for me to connect. (The preceeding paragraph deals only with my personal opinion)

DA:O didn't make me shed tears at the end, only during the Zathrain/Lady of the Forest scene (which was touching and well done...easily the highlight of the game). The only urge I felt at the end was in causing harm to Alistair XD

DA2: cried during the All That Remains quest and the end of "A New Path" b/c of stuff that happened there. Not the end of the game, though.

[Khayness]

No. I was glad that the 3 hours engame slaughterfest was finally over.

Then I cursed after the obvious sequel hook ending.

[Zjarcal]

I shed a lot tears in Origins during the goodbye speeches. I also shed a few tears in DA2 during the goodbye speeches, but to a lesser extent (mostly during Bethany's speech). The lack of some good emotional background music didn't help... and I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to Dog... :crying:

I did shed more than a few tears through the main game, be it during sad moments or during some of the bonding moments with companions (although during that big sad moment in Act 2 I was a little too horrified to be able to show any emotion... I was mostly petrified.... ).

As for the end itself, no I didn't cry but then again I didn't cry during the ending of Origins either (I was satisfied, not sad, but then again my warden was alive so...). Overall I would say I did cry more during Origins but that's mostly because the emotional moments were executed better in my opinion.

If the general question of this thread is "did you feel emotional attachment to DA2 and the companions" the answer from me is a resounding YES.

He was too drunk and far away for me to able to cause him any harm...

There were companions and characters I really liked and thought were well done. But no, I didn't have the same reactions as I did in DA:O. I had a number of WTF moments and I was genuinely pissed off that there was no way to change the course of Anders' actions no matter what standing he had with your character.

I wasn't angry, but in the end though, I was disappointed with the game and just relieved to finish it.

Relief is probably the best word for my feelings upon finishing DA2.

[Sabriana]

I was sad when one of my wardens did the ultimate sacrifice. I was also very choked up about Danyla. Ruck broke my heart. Plenty of moments like this in DA:O for me, personally.

In DA 2 it was heartwarming to see you-know-who returning with the you-know-what. That caught me off guard and made me choke up a bit. A certain mage not of human descent made me very sad. A certain chantry person made me very mad, I so wish I could've killed her with leeches and acid.


Edited to agree with Ali on principle.

Once again, I agree with you Sab. I'm very close to my mother (in fact she lives nearby me), and that scene had no emotion because Leandra's only in it for 1 and a half acts. We don't even interact with her that much (or the surviving sibling, for that matter).

Wheras I was unusually close to the scene because it mirrored my own mother's death. Their names are almost the same too which really didn't help. My wife tried really hard to warn me about the scene because she knew I'd get emotional when I got there. But she couldn't figure out a non-spoiler way to do it.

Worst part was I was forced to replay the end of Act2 due to realizing there was something I forgot to clear. Luckily I mixed the group up a bit on the second time through that scene. Varric made everything so much better when he dealt with <bad person>.

I'm sorry Jack. That must have been very upsetting. Your wife must have felt very torn.

Even though I didn't feel too much (much to my regret) in that quest, I did feel very satisfied when Hawke drove the knife through a certain person's heart. But it goes to show that personal experiences do play a large role. It touched people in a certain way, yet, because of my close relationship with my mother, it failed to deliver. If only there had been more interaction. I would've loved to get to know Hawke's family better.

Yeah, Ali. My mother (my whole family actually) lives close together, and we are very close to each other. Mess with one, you mess with all of us.

[AkiKishi]

The two things that got me emotionally recently have been FPS games. Opening of Homefront and ending of Killzone 3 , which really nails it for unintended consquences. From elation to shock/horror in the space of 30 seconds.

For me DA2 just tried to hard. Which tends to have the opposite effect.
