I really do want to. Dragon Age II is, in many ways, my favourite in the series. But after seeing how things turn out, I just can’t go back and replay it. The Mage/Templar war being so insignificant, Corypheus being a total pushover, and Hawke getting hardcore sidelined...

It's now like a TV show that has a new protagonist and archplot retconned mid season. Makes Dragon Age II feel really hollow and wasted.

Anyone else feeling this, or is it just me?

Comon, you know it's all about fighting the Arishok, right? Well, that is why I installed it past weekend. I can't fight Solas now soooo, someone just as powerful had to suffice.

I'm unable to replay DA 2 because I no longer have a PS3

or I would

[line_genrou]

I plan to revisit my warden's story in DAO again

Maybe after I'll play DA2. I've actually given some importance to this game after DAI

>Implying I was able to replay it before

[Lukas Trevelyan]

Idk I'm perfectly able to replay all 3 games. Each of them have their own flaws but they also had their own story to tell, different decisions to be made, different roleplay options, combat styles and an amazing cast. They may seem like separate games but they still feel tied together, you're just looking at them from different perspectives.

I love the franchise, I won't dwell on what went wrong when I'm fully capable of enjoying each game immensely.

DA:I actually increased my appreciation for DA2 and DA:O. I really enjoy all 3 games and I play all 3 ... did an Origins run before Inquisition came out, played DA:I, went back and continued my DA:O playthrough into DA:A then played DA2, now back to playing DA:I.

[mindw0rk]

I played DAI for 11 hours never having any fun. Gave up forcing myself to play it. Went back to finish DA2 walkthrough which was much more enjoyable.

 

2 months later Im still waiting when they fix camera, combat, broken companions AI, looting, inventory and other stuff to try DAI again. Does Bioware even care about this game anymore?

[mopotter]

Enjoy all 3 and will replay all 3.  They are in my keep pile.

[Belz007]

Im replaying DA 2 and having a blast. Even considering of buying the latest DLC for it to try it out. I recently replayed DA O aswell. Playing all 3 games recently I must say that I find DA 2's combat system the best.

[Recidiva]

I went back and replayed DA:2 after playing Inquisition.  I also went back and played DA:O again.  There were a few things in the Keep I wanted to check out.

 

DA:2 is unique in the sense that Hawke is really a villain, and you can see that in replaying.  You're trapped.  Your choice is do what is going to turn out badly or turn off the game.  Just about everything you did in DA:2 had a bad outcome.

 

Everything there bad happened because of you and your companions, over which you have very little influence.

 

Varric is the one with the expedition.  Without you asking Anders for the maps and setting them up with Bartrand, that expedition wouldn't have happened.  No Red lyrium, no Meredith.

 

The Arishok is there because of Isabella.  He wouldn't have had to stay or wouldn't have chosen to fight if she hadn't taken the Relic.

 

Replaying shows you were even more screwed than you thought, and you pretty much knew you were screwed.

 

It's dark, it's gritty, but I think it also has some of the best writing and the most interesting companions.

 

You could also look at it as setting history in motion.  You provided for disaster, while possibly trying to prevent disaster.  You can't alter Meredith, Anders, Isabella or the Arishok.

 

If you replay not in the sense that you're a hero, but that you are doing your best and still a victim of circumstance and likely the bad guy as a result...I think it's entirely worth replaying.

 

I think the Arishok is the best bad guy that they wrote in the series.  It still makes me laugh and I just have to adjust to the idea that I wasn't the person driving events, events were driving me.

 

You're screwed, but your companion backstories are amazing.  You're not the Scooby Gang solving problems, you're the Scooby Gang being and making problems.

[KaiserShep]

Don't forget that you totally murder Duke Prosper, which is pretty satisfying. I love how Varric can tell this story at the table during the Wicked Grace game, and Josephine will comment that it seems like a fitting end for him.

[Steffin]

Made it through the first act but never liked the combat.  I went back to finish and fill in the gaps but I cant handle the missing texture due to the nvidia driver and shader issues. Fighting invisible mobs kinda sucks, I'm playing a game attacking red circles on the ground or talking to a floating head in conversation.

 

Really sucks

I want DA: O on Frosbite 3. Then I'd play it every day.

[Fireheart]

I hated DA2 when it came out. I immediately uninstalled it after I finished. Wiped it from my mind, and whenever I saw people talking about it saying good or bad things on websties, I just welled up with fury because I wanted to pretend like it didn't exist. However in prep for DAI I replayed it and finished it just last month. Now I actually love it. This 2nd time it was much better because I knew what to expect. I knew the companions weren't as great as the first game's, I knew I'd be going to old, repeat locations posing as new locations, and I knew the plot wasn't as epic and grand as DAO's was. So having known all this going in the second time, I was actually able to see DA2 in it's own light, instead of comparing it to DAO at every turn. I agree with you OP. The insignifance of the Mage-Templar was upsetting to me. It's the reason I hate DAI. I don't care about the bugs, or fetch quests, empty world, etc etc. I'm upset that Bioware didn't give DA2 the end it deserved. Ok, a lot of people didn't like it... So? Don't just give up on the story so quick, they could've done a lot with, like I believe they planned to do. I think it's fairly obvious that Hawke was going to be Inquisitor until at one point they decided, 'ehh Hawke wasn't really that popular, fans might be upset to see him again, let's put someone else' and then added the race options which were only for aesthetics as it changes nothing in game. If you think about it, Hawke is more plot relevant with the story than any of your companions and even the Inquis, mainly because Cory is the villain, so Hawke needed to finish what he started, too bad he didn't get the chance. Well, he almost did, but Bioware decided to have him play messenger and run back to Weisshaupt like a little ******... Would've been nie if there were more focus on the Mage-Templar war for most of the game, and then in the middle or near the end, it gets revealed Corypheus was pulling the strings behind it causing them to fight each other and cause chaos across Thedas, then instead of choosing one side, you could instead save a couple from both sides after helping them break free from his control. I just feel they could've made the war more plot relevant while still having Cory be the big bad. It was all settled just a bit too easy and clean for me.

 

Anyways, I plan to play it again, as soon as I get money to buy it. I've only played it on PC. I want to play it on PS3 to get the trophies.

2014 was bad for gaming. Not much competition. Bayonetta 2 was best sequel. But how many people have wii u. It still get 8% votes on game spot. Some people vote just because it's DA

[Sabbatine]

DAO is way better, how on earth is DA2 your favorite?  DAI sucked, you had choices that mattered in DAO and DA2. DAI has zero replayability.  I think the real reason you don't want to replay DA2 or DAO is because you'll understand how much DAI actually sucks. 

 

Choices that mattered?  I guess you and I have vastly different ideas about what the word "mattered" means.

That is a rather juvenile way of looking at it.

 

Things may not turn out well but that does not make Hawke the villain.  Those things would have happened whether Hawke had been there or not and your companions would have continued to act on their own without ever meeting Hawke.

 

Hawke was damage control showing up after the disaster to clean up after the terrible writing which is why the game is is by far my least favorite of the series.  Bioware didn't give the players the ability to alter the story in meaningful ways to make your interpretation even remotely possible.

[Eyes_Only]

quite the opposite for me. I enjoyed DA2 but now DAI has made me appreciate DA2 a lot more. Sounds like a bad thing for DAI I know but its quite the opposite. DA2 seems to have more meaning now. Its the stage at which the whole mage rebellion took place on. Sort of where it all began.

[Aren]

DAO and DA2 make you smile like a nice plate of linguini with white clam sauce, DAI is like spaghetti O's bland and canned

Then sit down and enjoy the Linguini In Danarius House with Fenris

I actually just played DA 2 for the first time and loved it. I wish to play it again. I have had it for ages I don't know why I didn't play it before. A bit sore after ME3 I think is the reason. In any case I have faith my Hawke can find her way out of the fade. She has done it before and helped others out!

I can't really fathom how you thinking DAI is a bad game is at all related to the OP not being able to play DA2, but okay.

Really sucks

 

If you switch the Graphics options to DirectX 9, it fixes the missing textures. The game doesn't look as good, but it's at least playable.

 

Also, if you want to play through for the story and fast-forward through the combat, there's a "Story Mode" difficulty mod that makes most baddies go down after one or two hits on Casual.

i agree with most, its not about the outcome, but DA2 had such a nicely paced flowing story it was like a fantasy novel in game form. Alot of emotional events and the rags to riches is great. But that game had alot of technical flaws (repeated maps, janky combat)

 

DA:O Had a super epic feel to it, same rag to riches style story it really felt like you was building something up from nothing (unlike inquisition where everything is handed to you on a platter), It is one of the very few RPGs of such scoop that i have replayed, I wish they remastered it with new skins (quanari, elves etc) and gave the protaganist a voice. The combat was fine to be honest (atleast for pc).

 

Inquisition has its merits, and definately the best technically (though DA:I combat is still janky) with its graphics and all. But DA:O and DA:2 have better stories/quest designs. Running around doing MMO style quests and chasing after waypoints is not my idea of fun.

We had fetch quests in DA2 too.  And they were ridiculous.
