Main issue for me was blood mages. Seriously, those nug humpers are OP as an archdemon in that game. Them and Pride Demons.

 

I'm on the "hates Anders" wagon. I didn't even like him that much in Awakening. He was kinda like a poor man's Alistair, really. 

 

But Varric. Oh Varric. How I love your hairy, hairy chest. And I'm straight, so that's saying something. I think it might be chest envy, actually, because all I have is this patchy weedy little spot of hair there.

 

I loved DA2s levelling, controls, and overall game play. The plot didn't bother me that much, other than it felt like an anti-climax because beating the arishok felt like a natural climax, but then we have another climax in the third act.

 

Really, the only thing I didn't like about it was the level design because of the many many reasons I could go on about, but even that wasn't that bad. My main complain there is the reusing of levels for Main Quest goals. Mass Effect 1 reused levels for side and secondary quests all the time, so it would hardly be fair to complain about that for DAII while still heralding Mass Effect 1 as a pinnacle of RPG design.

 

XD they are annoying as hell. Pride demons aren't that bad as long asyou stay out of that glowing sphere.

 

I didn't like Anders that much in Awakening either. He was always a bit of an *******.

 

Varric.

 

Agreed with the rest.

 

 

The cast of characters keeps me coming back. And Act 2.

 

Goddamn you, you sexy beautiful beast, Act 2.

 

And then you get act 3's trainwreck. Game should've ended with act 2. >_>

da2 does have good moments in it.....its faster in combat, romance is oki but i prefer dao more i love repeating it so much and on pc mods are life for me =3

I played it through one time. Started another game and lost interest, but that is just me. i hated the fights...around every corner is a fight.

I started a playthrough as male Hawke and after a couple of hours, I deleted the game and started a femhawke playthrough. The male VA didn't appeal to me at all.

[KaiserShep]

The male VA didn't appeal to me at all.

 

It could be your subconscious bringing you back to this guy, since Nicholas Boulton is the VA behind both characters

 

That said, I think he's better at M!Hawke than Meer is at Shepard, but I still prefer Wyatt's F!Hawke. Boulton is also the voice of Xenon the Antiquarian and Malcolm Hawke's voice in Legacy. I prefer Boulton for aggressive Hawke, and Wyatt for humorous Hawke.

[themikefest]

Maybe it was because I was playing as a diplomatic Hawke at the beginning and the voice wasn't right. He sounded too much of a goody-two-shoe.

[luna1124]

I know, one voice for female Hawke and one for male Hawke. I never played a male, so I don't know what his voice sounded like. Is that Vaughan Kendells up there?

[caradoc2000]

Is that Vaughan Kendells up there?

Yes - voiced by Nicholas Boulton.

Reused environments, less fidelity on character models, less hours of gameplay, less story (much less script gone into it), and many numbers of fans of Origins feeling it was a letdown. Yes, out of subjective feelings you can quantitively derive an objective value. Statistics of preferences is all about this.

 

@Kaiser

 

My purpose hasn't been to "convince" others of the "bad status" of the game. Yet you do need to understand its flaws. Including the one of dissonance from elements of the series as such, derived from fan feedback *and* any comprehensive descriptions of it. So it doesn't matter that your personal preference remains that it's a good game - objectively speaking there are many traits that make it not well done at least, and according to my interpretation, badly done.

Dragon Age 2 does appear to be displaced from Dragon Age: Origins.  DA:O makes the biggest crisis the Blight; DA2 makes it mages and Templars.  It also appears that DA:O has nothing to do with DA2 and everything that happens in it.  However, in my opinion, DA2 has a better action schematic, on the X-Box 360 anyway, and moves faster than DA:O.  How long do we go through the Thaigs to get to the Anvil of the Void again?

Since the Blight ended in DAO, it couldn't very well have also been the crisis in DA2.

Honestly, I'd rather have a 30 hour game every two years than a 45 hour game every three years.

[Dutchess]

I would argue that it is possible to point out objective elements about how the writing of DA2 is bad. For one, the time skips that are forced into the game are handled badly. They are a cheap way to say time has passed, but nothing or hardly anything changed during that time and it screws up relationships with the companions, especially Fenris' romance. Then there is the lack of a coherent storyline. This is not necessarily bad, but the writers could not handle the lack of a main antagonist, so instead you end up with a lot of insane mini antagonists you only need to kill to be done with them. All those antagonists (Tarohne, Decimus, Grace, crazy elf in Blackpowder Courtesy, etc.) are empty characters without development or proper motivations. They go batshit insane, do something evil, and then Hawke gets to kill them. And even the antagonists that received more screen time and development eventually get destroyed by insanity and the need for a fight and a climax (Orsino, Meredith, you could say even the Arishok had a fit of feeling homesick because he had to be forced out of his Qun character to start a war on Kirkwall).

 

The only characters that were well done were the companions, and even they suffered from a lack of time in some areas.

I have to say I agree with this. I loved DA:O and I loved ME and ME2... But I hated DA2.

 

Don't get me wrong, I wanted to love it. I played through the two first acts of the game, all the while getting increasingly annoyed about the story and in particular, the gameplay. But then I reached the point where I realized that I no longer cared about the money, that I had spent on the game and just wanted to stop right there. And so I did, and I never looked back :-/.

 

I still have hopes for Inquisition, but there's no way I'm pre-ordering it like I did for DA:O and DA2. I'll wait to see how the users receive it this time.
