Discuss the Dragon Age Series here.

Does anyone have any idea when new DA2 DLC will be released?

Nope, don't care

Well me and many others care. Well then, does any know when the Anime or web series will be released?

Doesn't the thing with Felicia Day start in June?

From what I've heard its just listed as summer. Which can be anytime from June-September.

No news of any DLC yet, but the patch might be available next week. Of course whether i'll buy the DLC or not depends on what it's like, i hope the DLC's style is another thing they'll copy from Mass Effect

I'm taking a break from DA2 and am playing DAO again. I'm only on the second part of DA2, but I'm getting kinda bored of it and miss some of the stuff that made DAO great. I'll finish DA2 eventually.

I have to wait 5-6 days for my copy of DA2 to arrive. I hope it is worth the $25 (including shipping) I paid for it!

Same here I'll take what ever crap they will throw at me. I just bought and beat all of DAO DLC yesterday and I still want more.



Same here man, been playing ever since beating DA2 2 weeks ago.



Its worth that amount. Not full price but $25 is perfect. Considering I've played it for free on my room mates PC and I'm still going to buy it even if its full price when my next pay check comes.

I have heard that Dragon Age 2 svcked from a fair amount of people, but it sounds to me like they were expecting a complete 100% alike sequel of the first one. I looked some Gameplay up and it looks like they sort of combined there Mass Effect style with Dragon Age's lore.

So I was wondering what you guys think of it? Are any of the things that make DA1 and DA2 different drastically tragically awful, or is just like comparing Morrowind to Oblivion?

I've only just gotten to the Deep Roads in DA2, but I can safely say it isn't as good as Origins. That said, it isn't as horrible as people say. The combat is much more fluid, and the questing is still okay. The only real problems I've had so far are the lack of customizability for your party, and the horribly boring and repetitively locations. The latter is my biggest problem.

Go to the Bioware forums mayhap? XD Goto the source instead of getting it second hand?



Micheal Bay 'spolion effects everywhere, unbalanced skill tree's, ridiculous "fodder" waves attacks until you beat a "boss" character. Cross class equipment made totally useless, If hawke isn't a rogue for example ALL BOWS in the game are useless along with all Armor items of cross class. Skills are extremely limiting, AKA Dual wield is only for rogues, and you can only use daggers. You don't have weapon slot swapping anymore, so unless you really like going into you inventory and swapping out stuff manually Trying to use say a ranged weapon and a melee weapon is annoying. Silly and ridiculous attack animation they seem to try for the "kung fu on wires" B movie style of fighting. where your characters are leaping like 30 feet in the air and doing all likes of flips rolls and behind the back attacks. Twin fangs always made me lol, because you first turn your back to the enemy, then bend over slightly and ram your butt into there waist and then ram home the dual daggers reversed into them. Nothing like turning your back and generally making yourself blind and defenseless to anything they might be doing to launch your "super awesome cool" attack! XD

Some specialization are missing, such as Arcane warrior, and shapeshifter. Cross class combos while I guess look good on paper, don't really seem to be very effective unless you memorize what powers do what or like to pause and read what does what to what all the time. It also replaced the much cooler spell combos. Lots of spells are much less effective then they where in DA:O. Convo wheel is just as [censored], and limiting as it was in ME. You have no idea what your going to say for the most part. Your limited into playing a human, story was lol rific at several points.

They kept and even made more ridiculous giant anime style weapons. I was cringing at some points because some of my two hander guys had weapons like cloud from FF basiclly. Blades like as thick as your torso and 3 times your height. Was really bad with 2h hammers. I did like the characters, and some parts of the story however it seeed to drag on over much, for instance in game they say 10 years pass however the plot seems like it could have finished out in like one. DA:O had more stuff going on and it only lasted a year. DA:O events are barely mentioned making imports pointless aside from a few comments and a extra side quest or so. Game is buggy, a few quests beign broken and not starting correctly or glitching and being uncompleted forever.

I'd rate it like maybe a 6. while DA:O got 8/9

It's not perfect, but actually I think it's pretty good. The only real flaws are some obvious signs that it's been rushed, e.g. over-use of the same areas, a few apparently abandoned story tangents and things; but overall I've had a lot more enjoyable playing time from it than I expected. I'm currently taking a hiatus as I'm waiting for the next patch to hopefully address a number of annoying quest bugs, so I guess it'll be interesting to see how it feels after a 2-3 week break.

DA2 is pretty bad when compared to Origins. At least with Oblivion from Morrowind it's still a good game to play and keeps a lot of the core elements of the series unlike DA2 where Bioware basically butchered it. There are some good things about DA2 like the Talent Webs but the negatives outweigh the positives.

Not nearly as bad as most people would, and already tried, to have you believe :hehe: Try the demo, the real game is better in terms of performance and usability, but otherwise the same.

It was better then DAO for me at least, bugs, yeah, but not like Origins and Awakening was clean anyway, also I like the idea of only rogues using dual weapons,

I personally liked the animesque style, make it somewhat different from the rest of Bioware Art Style

Explain please. One of my favorite ways to play DAO was as a DW Warrior. I cannot possibly see how taking away choices is good.

Rogues can also use longbows, but not swords or hammers: which is a bit of a nuisance as I often liked to equip my DA:O rogue with a longsword but that's right out in DA2. The restrictions on weapons and armour were rather silly and annoying, at least from my perspective.

I personally never liked the idea of other classes rather than rogues (and maybe bersekers,thief and others with similar styled class) using DW, is not good taking choice away, yeah, but at least for me it was ok

But DW was completely restricted to only daggers too. No twin Hand axes, swords and dagger or sword and axe. Swords, axes, and so forth where restricted to the "weapon and shield" skill. thus limiting how you could play to rigid class and skill tree's.

They never should've gotten rid of Duelwielding Warrior. I understand why they did it but still it was an awesome weapon skill.

Granted. they shouldn do that, But, I always played rogues with daggers and bows only rather than swords or any other weapons, along with ligth armors and no helmet, on every game where I could roleplay rogues

And to both, DA2 added absolutely nothing. It didn't clue us in to what they were up to, didn't advance their personal stories in any way, they weren't even a significant part of Hawke's story. Glorified cameos, nothing more. About the only important thing it did was explain how Flemeth manages to survive being killed in DAO.


Don't know. As far as I'm concerned, the project is canned, since it was announced a year ago, and absolutely no other information has surfaced since then. Don't care either, chances are it would just take DA2's style, and end up being just like any other dime-a-dozen shounen.

Its gonna be based in DAO, not DA2, also, being an anime, you can expect to be shounen all the way, or somewhat between and teen/advlt show, I mean, the tons of perverse reference in the game :spotted owl:
