I also liked both games, and loved being placed in the chosen Epic tale of conflict. Plus, I enjoyed the vast majority of quests, Companions, and even the cameos. Nutters, I guess.

Act 3 is only terrible because there isn't even an illusion of choice. You are railroaded into one set path, and that does not belong in an RPG let alone a Bioware game.

Not nutters El, not at all. Nor is anyone who liked it. I just fear that if the OP didn't like Act 2 even, then he/she is not going to like it anymore after Act 3. But I still think they should play it to the end and see for themselves. They may change their mind after all.

*HUGS* El.

Agreed, because Act 2, for me anyway, was the only worthwhile part of the game. Good dialogue and good writing. Cannot figure out why those aspects were so absent from Acts 1 and 3 .

One thing I can say is that at the end of the game I sat with my mouth opened for a while before being able to process all that had happened. I would say that you would be doing yourself a disservice if you played all the way you did and then didn't finished. You would always be wondering if you shouldn't have finished.

DA2 hands out idiot balls like there's no tomorrow.

Best seen in Act3, so ye be warned. And the final fight? Awefull....

[Stoomkal]

Okay... okay... just thought I would drop in and say I am playing through the Awakening finale to get a proper save with Nathaniel...

... to play DA2 for the first time.

Not. Very. Inspiring.

I find Act I definitely worse than Act III. It is true that Act III is short and one has limited choices, but Act I is the one that should set the scenario, the story, the atmosphere, the interest... and yet it is made of only scant missions that all look alike with no depth, in a rush of getting money to start an expedition to which you (as the player) have no emotional connection at all and on which you don't have the minimum interest.

I didn't mind Act1, I kind of viewed it as the necessary grind to get rich and powerful enough for the story to move forward. Plus the Deep Roads was such a great part of DAO, I was excited to get the hell out of Kirkwall and explore. Unfortunately, the end of the Act was really small, short and railroady and about 1/4th the fun of the Deep Roads in DAO. But I was still excited to get there in Act 1 when I played, so that made Act 1 better than Act 3.

[Heidenreich]

bah, if you didn't like it so far you probably wont. that being said, It's a good game, and the best advice I can give you is "Stay away from the general forums until you've formed your own opinion"

[Monica83]

Try the game.. But if you loved origins.. mhhhh

Or you love dragon age 2 as well or you hate it the game is total different...

Same for me Kimberly. Though I can see how people don't like Act 1, it is a bit of an MMORPG feel of fetch this kill that. But I too loved the Deep Roads in DAO and getting out of Kirkwall to explore was inticing.  Add to that the yummy, mysterious implications of the dwarves that lived in that thaig were great but it turned out to be a bit of a ****tease and too short.

Still, Act 3 was my least fav of the three.

I liked almost all of the story. Orsino is an exception, as more could have been done to transfuse this character with life; pun intended. But I find the majority of the rest quite captivating.

I enjoy Act 1-3; find the entire Chantry vs Circle concept enthralling. And I just discovered a Mage Hawke can also gain rulership on my latest playthrough, so surprises still await me at this point.

But I concede the point that if the OP does not like the Arishok plotline, it is unlikely they will enjoy the others.

tnanks in advance

If you don't want to ruin your whole Dragon Age experience, with a mad templar wielding a red lightsaber and jumping around 30 meters in plate armor, you should skip the third chapter. There are stones better left unturned.

I wish I was like you...
Easily amused.

Oh Nirvana, your lyrics are amazing.

And yet you knew of Nirvana, where as I had to use Google.

Maybe I should take all these latest series of attacks on my 'youthful, inexperienced, hippy-esque' personal tastes as a compliment. In truth, I have been gaming PnP since '75, am secure enough in my personal tastes to acknowledge enjoying DAO and DA2, and folks that do not attempt to belittle others in attempts to elevate their status on Social sites.

Say Howdy to CL for me!

What amuses me the most is that even Cassandra mentions it. "[...] And for what? Coin?!"

My opinion? In a a nutshell, Dragon Age II is one-third about doing side quests for money, one-third being the errand boy of the Arishok and the Viscount, and the rest is Hawke being railroaded into watching the story, because technically he or she can't make a meaningful choice. Not a single one.

And if someone tells me the final decision about the game's conflict is an important choice, I'm going to hit them with a slipper. It doesn't even have a huge impact in the epilogue.

Let's try to keep the 'you -enjoyed- something I didn't? Clearly your tastes are inferior' to a minimum. It comes across as smug and condescending, neither of which are things we try to encourage on these boards.

Sorry OP, but I found this game just as interesting as DA:O.

And I'll top that by saying that I found it to be more interesting than DAO. Blasphemy? Not really.

Sadly yes.
I wonder if you finished Act 3, I am curious as to what your reaction would be.

If you are still trying to finish it, good luck and I hope you don't get a headache like I did.

Oh I was just poking a little fun...and I do wish I enjoyed the plot line like the poster I quoted did, it would make the $60 CAD I paid for the game sting a little less.

I'll behave tho.

[Liaren]

 I liked all of DAII. I say just finish the game and you'll see wether 'it ever gets interesting'.  If not, then maybe DAII just isn't your thing. Nothing bad about it, everyone has their own opinion.

i found it the other way around to most of you played origins and all its dlc after getting just halfway through the main quest i was bored senseless the visuals were awful for a modern game the combat wasboring the story was tedious the deep roads was way way way too big and everything just took forever to do and dont get me started on the skillset tree you have to waste hard earned xp/abillity points on areas you dont want or need just to get the one you do want and in terms of storys you cant really compare them because origins focus's on the war and ending the blight wheras DA2 focuses on 1 person and him/or her having to flee their home to a new city and start from the bottom of the pile as a refugee and as the trailers say it charts your characters rise to power from a refugee to either a viscount of kirwall/ or the man at the center of the storm that will become the next war between the templars and the mages those who hate DA2 hate mainly because they were basically expecting a tweeked DAO and it was never intended to be that simply put DAO fans have unrealistic demands and expectations because DA2 is clearly to bridge the story between origins and the future DA3 now ok i admit i was annoyed at the copy and paste job done on some of the levels in DA2 and yes the spawing enemies did get tedious but i have seen far far worse before the simple fact is the market has changed since origins came out and DA2 was Bioware/EA moving with the times where most people want fast paced action a tight storyline and generally a campaign lasting 60-70hrs not some 150hr plus monster like origins was im just glad i played DA2 first because despite being an RPG veteran having played since the year 1987 if i had played DAO 1st i would have likely been put off the Dragon age francise all together which would have been a shame because i really enjoyed DA2 and the story in DA2 was a good one but i guess im wasting my time as most of the hardcore DAo fans/players have closed minds to DA2( have noticed many hardcore DAO players posting criticism's of DA2 despite never having played it and even suggesting DLC/mods/updates to turn DA2 into DAO with all its faults and flaws ) all i can say is no thank you to that idea if you dont like DA2 fine whatever floats your boat but dont go ruining it for the millions of people who like it and may potentionally like it your enttled to your opinions but quit bad mouthing a game constantly because it didnt live up to your unrealistic expectations so to sum up Yes DA2 has some niggles but overall its a vast improvement or DAO and i know because i have played both thoroughly and fairly without and preconceptions or expectations which advise all of the DA2 haters out there to do before they resort to bad mouthing it
