I just got a new computer but I played DA:O on 360.. I was thinking of getting this for PC but by the sounds of it this has been very consolised as opposed to DA:O supposedly being superior on the PC..?

Should I buy this on Xbox or PC?

No stupid fking Console vs PC wars please.. Just a straight up honest opinion.

The only reason I was thinking of going PC was because on DA:O I enjoyed playing it on the hardest difficulty and playing very strategic with pausing, etc which I heard was better done on the PC. Will combat be easier on the PC for DA2 or will it be the same as Xbox?

I have it on PC, prefer games like this on PC, and I have to admit this one was made with consoles in mind.

I still love the game.

[Pacific-Baller]

This game was made for consoles in my opinion get for x-box since graphics won't be such a big difference.

But would combat be easier on the PC?

[ElBonemeister]

But would combat be easier on the PC?

IMO, yes. It is (at least for me) more efficient to quickly slide my mouse over each character during a pause and set some quick tactics. I am personally more accurate with mouse movements than I am the analog stick.

You are about 1/3 of the way through the game. Probably a bit more than that, 40%.

Yeah the story finally picks up around there and starts rolling.

[chaoserver]

Idk, I am past deep roads and its still hellaboring.

The story direction in this game was awful... Compare the first 10-15 hours of DA origins to DA2, it is pretty sad. Having one of many stories, which would influence the game even hours later, and then being brought to the battle where you meet a very unlikeable antagonist. Working towards overthrowing two threats was interesting, gave you something to look forward to, especially when one of them was in a power position in the kingdom. The world was actually established, not just around one city, each are with it's own feel.

Don't get me wrong, origins had plenty of predictable/weak story elements too(gathering different settlements support each needing a favor for example), but comparing it to being a broke with some random people while trying to scrounge up cash with no real antagonist 10-15 hours in leaves much to be desired.

The combat is fun though, aside from lack of much customization to allies, but the story is pretty frail

Let them all get within your range, pause again. Do the Mighty Blow or whatever is set to #1. Pause, do a #4, pause #2. I'm not sure what #3 is but I'd do it too. If I can do the #1 where they're real close together, that is a 1-hit kill. If their armor is strong, they will only have a 1/4 or less health left, so #4 should take them out, assuming there won't be 4+ more coming after what's int he screenshot. Let me know how it goes.

Every character is bi-sexual in this game. The consensus is that Bioware was just too lazy to make different relationship options for each sex, so they kept it the same across the board.

As for your question, it depends on which character you went with yourself. Right now, I'm a Warrior, so I am rolling 1 Rogue and 2 Mages with me (Varric, the Elf lady, and Anders, respectively). I like Varric because he's handy to have when I happen to stumble across a locked chest.

Lol ty but I posted that yesterday. I just ended up running back the way I came and trying to cluster them together on some stairs, then doing Scythe and MB. Took 4 of em out before I died



EDIT: #3 is damage control or something, it does +10% damage

[RESILIENCY]

Yo guys if i go into the deep roads but don't do any of the side-quest, will they still be there when i come back?

you gotta do side quests to get the 50 gold lol

[RESILIENCY]

you gotta do side quests to get the 50 gold lol

i am looting a lot of dead bodies and they have gold so i hope i don't have to do to many side quests.

[jawnzer]

Totally forgot that DA2 signature edition gave you the chance to d/l all DLC, nice.


Going to sit down today and put some serious time into it.

[shroomdizzle]

it feels so empty compared to origins to mee...the world and everything just sucks vendors look like sht seems like a rushed game.

[jxd]

On hard, the best tactics I have found against the swarms of enemies is running away to somewhere more defensible, like around a corner, and hopefully separating the group into more manageable pieces, just make sure to turn the AI off so they don't immediately run forward again like morons.

I'm a warrior so I like to send my guy straight in the center of a swarm and use whirlwind, making sure I clicked the hold command so my guys don't run in after me, while my 2 mages cast tempest and firestorm and varric casts the hail of arrows thing. I'm playing on hard as well and this combo hasn't failed me yet. All my people are all level 7 I think so I'm not that far in though.

[EnergyTurtle]

Haven't bought this yet but it seems to me from reading user reviews that the ones who hate the changes in DA2 also hated Mass Effect 2.

I have been hesitant to accuire DA2. But I'll be picking it up today and will tell you how I like it. I enjoyed ME2.

[jawnzer]

I ****ing love ME2, my favorite game of all time. Still on the edge with DA, but I am no where near the playtime where I can comment.

[AvengeMe]

I probably have about 18 hours into it so far. I've done every single quest that I've gotten. I do agree that the story is a little weak so far but I feel like it will definitely pick up. I just cant seem to put the damn controller down, I easily play for like 3 hours and lose track of time. I think the game is very enjoyable. This may be a bit of a spoiler, but for those about to go into the deep roads, be careful who you take with you.

[Josh81]

This game pissed me off for many reasons.

Basically none of the decisions you make in the game make any impact on the ending at all, and the ending is extremely disappointing.


Give me Dragon Age 1 story with dragon age 2 combat please


I completed the game on Hard with a 2 handed vanguard/templar Warrior.

Party was Anders/Varric/Me/Merill

anders being a complete healbitch and merill being damage/etc



brb making a ****ty ending so we can make DLC for console-bitches to buy to see the full story

[Pacific-Baller]

IMO, yes. It is (at least for me) more efficient to quickly slide my mouse over each character during a pause and set some quick tactics. I am personally more accurate with mouse movements than I am the analog stick.

So why do you think it's made for consoles then?

[jawnzer]

Opening cinematics are epic as **** though, that is for sure.

[urge]

Was looking forward to an epilogue regarding the decisions I made in the game like the ones in Origins and Awakening.

Sorta disappoint!

[FalseCreek]

wut do misc? This is on hard btw

no Hayden's Razor? Fail.

Is there anything more satisfying then scything through a bunch of enemies for insta-kills

[LadiesManXtreme]

I ****ing love ME2, my favorite game of all time. Still on the edge with DA, but I am no where near the playtime where I can comment.

Strong weight to height ratio. I was your weight at that height BEFORE I started lifting.

[jawnzer]

I was this weight 6 years ago, not now lol.

Do you honestly think I would post my weight if I weighed that?
