Dragon Age 2 - * Official *

Yea, I played and loved DAO and was looking forward to this a LOT.

For reasons I can't quite put my finger on through, I really don't enjoy it. I played through DAO 2 or 3 times on different classes because I enjoyed it so much. With DA2 I can't quite make it through Act 1 without getting bored. I've tried all three classes thinking maybe one is better than the other, but alas, it is not so.

I think I'll probably give it the benefit of the doubt and force myself through it with a warrior, but I definitely wouldn't recommend the game to anyone.

I think what really sums it up for me is the bitter taste left from a significant expectation. I can almost imagine the core of highly skilled Bioware employees, many who were involved with DAO, being lorded over by some chumped up EA executive driving a mercedes whispering sweet nothings of 'Wouldnt it be great if?' and 'Thats good, but it needs more fighting'. Its like every decision that was made in the game was trumped by a Suit and ground into a frenzy of drug induced attention deficit disorder. Gone are those dramatic, game changing decisions, gone are those wide ranging story arcs. The game doesn't even have a conclusion for petes sake.

Which is where, i think, allot of the anger directed at DA2 comes from. Its synonymous of taking up the mantle of original, defecating all over it then thrusting the faecal matter stained box at the customer with a grin saying 'Here, have your cake.'

Is it a bad game in its own right? No. Is it a bad sequel? God yes.

Really sad to hear the negativity about DA2. I was really looking forward to it but it sounds like I'm in for disappointment. I loved DA:O.

Still... I have got HL2 and Mirror's Edge to play through yet and need to finish The Witcher first. :)

I bought a load of games at Christmas in the Steam Sale and am slowly working my way through them. Considering the fact that they consisted of DA:O, NWN2, Batman AA, Cities XL and The Witcher, it's no surprise that it's taking so long! :D

So many hours of my life gone forever! :(

This worth getting when it drops to around £5?

Yes if you don't have ME2 it's probably worth 15 till the offer runs out. I like the inter-party conversations but that was true of the last one as well. I hope they change that in ME3 it's less immersive when you have to click the highlighted area.
 
I've been playing this for a a few hours now, trying to do all the side quests before completing the main ones and am really enjoying it. Quite surprised by all the hate in this thread, its not as good as the original (which im going to play again when im done) but when not comparing it is still a good game.

I'm not surprised at all as everything people have said negative wise it's factual :(
