Neither game was *my* particular brand of funny but..

Dragon Age2 was intended to be humorous, i found it lacking in comparison to Origins, like DA2 was trying too hard, assaulting me with jokes at every possible moment. While Origins was a lot more serious in tone, which made the jokes so much sweeter when they popped up.

I personally like Origins better for funny, purely because it was a delightful, temporary reprieve from impending doom.

Jan: Korgy old pal, have I ever told you how much you remind me of my uncle, Uriah Twin-Hammers?

Korgan
: Watch yer step, gnome. If ye make me angry, I’ll bury the head of me axe so far up yer backside yer breath will smell like  magic metal!

Jan: That’s exactly the kind of thing Twin-Hammers would say.
He was a ruthless, savage, bloodthirsty outlaw who would kill anyone or anything that got in his way. He used to repeatedly terrorize a certain gnomish village he frequently wandered through in his neverending quest
for profit and bloodshed.

Korgan: A man after me own black heart! Carry on, gnome ... ye got me blood stirrin’!

Jan: Of course, all good things come to an end. Fed up with Uriah’s antics, the village hired a hero to protect them and enforce the law - the legendary Clint Hackman (so named for his habit of chopping  his foes to little bits). With the townsfolk peering from their windows  the outlaw and the famous lawman stared each other down in the center of the dusty, deserted street. Cold as ice, Uriah said: ‘I’ve killed women and children. I’ve killed everything that walks or crawls on this  earth. And now I’m here to kill you.’ Alas, Uriah met his end on that  street. With his first blow he broke his hammer on Hackman’s shield, and that was it. Weaponless, he wasn’t much of a match for the mighty  Clint.
If my uncle had only been named Two-Hammer because he carried two weapons he still might be alive today. But Uriah got his nickname for  the mighty hammer he carried in his belt and the even mightier ... uh,
‘hammer’ he had *beneath* his belt, if you get my drift. A fine  instrument to have, but not much good in a fight.

Korgan: HAR! HAR! HAR! ‘Tis a good thing ye know yer audience, gnome ... me axe stays in me belt.

Origins was just more well written as a whole to me, including the humorous scenes. Alistair had a few cheesy lines that straddled the fourth wall pretty badly, but most of the characters in DA 2 had cheesy lines which made me feel like I was watching outtakes.

DA 2 without a doubt - mainly because of Varric:



Epic!

While i do find varric and isabela prolly the most funny out of DA2. That banter wasnt funny at all really.

Whichever game you are personally biased towards, for reasons that have nothing to do with humor.

I think overall in terms of the whole cast, probably DAII.

Origins had some great lines from a variety of characters but it didn't hold together the way it did in DAII. It seemed a tad more contrived at times in DAII but it would benefit from some improvising but due to the way the recording is done I'm not sure that's a viable option.

Origin's humour had a much stronger sense of verisimilitude for me but then again I like both so I get burnt at the stake. ^_^

DA:O had Shale and therefore wins by default.

Leliana: "You aren't all stone, Shale. There is a person inside of you."
Shale: "If so, it is because I ate him."

I love that golem. <3

Overall it's DA2 for me. Origins has some amusing moments, but only Shale made me laugh :)

Really the way I determine which game is to look at the main characters, and their interactions with eachother, and the world around them.

DA:O FUNNIES:

*Alistair
*Morrigan & Alistair
*Sten
*Sten & Anyone
*Oghren
*Shale

DA2 FUNNIES:

*Sarcastic Hawke
*Varric
*Isabela
*Isabela & Aveline
*Merrill
*Merrill & Anyone

So they're actually pretty even in terms of HOW MUCH humor is present, at least among the party members. Of course the TYPE of humor varies per character though.

For me this scene was not that funny...it felt way over the top. The funniest scene for me in MotA was between a romanced Sebastian and Bethany. Bethany's expressions and lines were priceless in that scene. It felt natural and was more convincing to me than the overdramatic bee sting.:P

For me, the best part of that scene was the way they just shrugged it off and walked away. :D

Okay that scene was actually awful.

This isn't even anything to do with my dislike of DA2, that scene was just terrible.

Referring to Hawke btw, not Tallis.

IT'S MAKING ME HATE HAWKE EVEN MORE THAT F*CKING ****** <_<

I think your complete overreaction to a scene about Hawke purposely overreacting is just a little funny. I'm imagining the dramatic camera angle over your head as you yell that.
Image IPB

But its funniest within the context of the party itself where its full of Orlesians being overdramatic. Note the bland look on the guard's faces.

Oghren wasn't subtle in character, but the way his extreme nature was applied to the game was totally believable. An out-of-this world character who is a real character and not at all unnatural (I would even say he had some irony of decadence to him).

So, yes, Oghren was totally part of the subtlety in DA's humoric writing for me.

Hu, yes, Oghren was "believable". Puerilistic scat humour is realistic.
It's still crass, not funny and certainly not subtle.

Like with most of DAO for me, it did nothing emotional and just had me blank faced, humor is one of those things. I don't see how DAO was more subtle or non forced. DAO humor was fun but 99& of the jokes or "humor" was unfunny or bland, I did not have that feeling in DA2. I laughed alot in DA2 because of it's humor, I only laughed five times in DAO, unlike my massive amounts of facepalms to things like Oggy, Alistair and other things that the pro DAO people found funny..

Even discounting personal taste, DA2 is more forced because every single potential line Hawke says the entire game has a humorous/sarcastic option.  That's hundreds of intentional "forced" jokes just from Hawke alone.

Neither of them made be laugh. Actually as I typed that I remembered a sarcastic Hawke line that made me laugh. "Beating my head against the walls of tyranny." So based on the simple fact that DA2 is the only one that made me laugh out loud, DA2. As for which games banter I liked more, I'm not sure.

Origins had lots of Alistair, Oghren and Anders when he was funny. Plus Shale and Sten had some good moments. And Zevran had some decent lines too.

DA2 had Varric and Hawke, and Isabela and Merril on occassion.

Origins Wins.

It's not forced, you find it forced. I did not find it forced, nor did other people. Just because you and others find it forced does not make it forced by default and everybody feels that way, same with me finding the humor in DAO very bland.

That's not even true because some of the middle dialog options are 'Charming' (the purple diamond).

Also, if it's an option how can it be forced?
