Many might say DA2 is crap but I think it is more accurate to say it isn't as good as DA: Origins. Personally I loved it.
The game was obviously rushed, as the recycled dungeons do take a bit of the flavor away. Aside from the unpolished game play environments it has a solid story. I think allot of gamers also missed the point that the story. It was Hawke's story (the main character.) DA: Origins story was broader, so focusing on one character, I think, made people view this as a step back. In my opinion I think it adds context, or perspective to the events that play out in the DA universe and how they affect an individual character rather than a group. I believe the purpose of this narrative is meant as a prelude to DA 3.
Personally I thought all the main characters were well thought out and well presented. Varric in particular go special attention, clearly making himself an iconic character for the whole series. Kind of Like Morrigan was for the first Dragon Age. Aside from the main characters the rest of the lesser NPC do fall a little flat.
Combat though, in my opinion is vastly improved, perhaps one of the main saving graces of DA2. DA: Origins combat always felt a little too slow paced and stiff.
Bottom line: Dragon Age 2 is definitely worth a go if you are a fan of the Dragon Age universe. But rather treat it as a separate game to Origins than a true sequel. A spin-off, if you will, might be more accurate.
FYI Don't neglect the "Mark of the Assassin" DLC for DA2. It's brilliant, best to start in Act 2 or 3. The "Legacy" DLC is not as good but OK. Weapon %26amp; Armor DLC, are good but not essential.Is dragon age 2 good?
I thought it was a great game, The story line is good and solid the gameplay is catered more to consoles then the last one was and the characters are just as developed as the last one. The only down sides to the game is the lack of change of scenery, and that you cant talk to your party members whenever you want but only durring certain times. I think that most people had problems with the game because it was different then they were use to.
It may not be as great as the first in terms of story but all in all its a great game.Is dragon age 2 good?
I never played origins, so i have nothing to compare it to, but i played DA2 and i was very disappointed in just how linear it was. RPG's shouldn't lead you down a straight path. the graphics were crap. game play was mildy entertaining. on the plus side all the women had huuuge you know whats.
rpg's should be held to a higher standard. i know you hear this from everyone, but get skyrim. best game i've played in years.
don't compare one game to its sequal, compare the game to the benchmark in rpg entertainment. don't waste money and time by settling for crap.
My first playthrough I was very disappointed since I just finished Origins. But I gave it a second try and it is a pretty good game. Some things are alot better! It had good characters, some you will recognize from DAO or Awakening if you played it. But overall, I think it is a very good game and definetly worth playing!
