I did this on nightmare ... 2 hours of my life. I once rand out of potions, and wiped, when he was on around 8-10%. Felt like I had to punch someone to calm down.

The demo felt pretty lackluster to me. The option to pause is still there, but the combat just doesn't seem as satisfying. Of course, that's just the demo and a bunch of things in the menu are locked.
I have the game but I have yet to install it. Maybe this weekend.

Seems like you don't need to fix Sebastian's quest. It does look like I get a 2nd chance to recruite him in the 3rd act in the chantry.

Agh it's getting hard to play this. If I really pay attention to the dialogue it makes me wanna kill myself. Writing's so appalling I can't even begin to describe it.

Just don't click the heart icons. Anyone notice how Bioware tries to trick players into having gay sex with the elf in the brothel by keeping a quest icon above his head.

Yeah I know to watch out for the icons. But wtf, I seriously suspect some disgruntled gay developer replaced parts of the script with this shit. They are trying to stealthily get me into bed with these inane fuckers.

In my opinion, Dragon Age 2 is not typical sequel.
In some ways it got improved, over Origins, in some it got worse, and it others it's just plain different.

BioWare's Mike Laidlaw: A defence of Dragon Age II
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-03-10-biowares-mike-laidlaw-a-defence-of-dragon-age-ii-interview
| Quote: | Eurogamer: What's the mood like out there?
Mike Laidlaw: We're just very happy to see it out. What we're seeing is something not really a surprise to us: we're seeing a bit of polarisation. It's not radical, it's not like people are bursting into open warfare about things, thank god. We knew going into Dragon Age II we were making some changes. I wouldn't necessarily say changes to make it more accessible, but to make it present itself in a different way. We knew it carried some elements of risk. Some people are reacting to that, and it's fine - it's actually good. I'd much rather make a game that challenges people and doesn't just rest on its laurels. |

I'm absolutely fucking STUNNED to read that people criticising the game are having their entire accounts banned. Posting privileges, fine, lame but fine ... but losing your GAMES too? That is despicable and no, there's no way that's legal.

One of the comments on the article I linked:
| Quote: | There's damage control, and then there's this - denial.
None of the concerns the community has raised were ever addressed by BioWare. Instead, they kept reiterating points such as "the combat is faster, the tactics remain in place", as though they were trying to convince themselves, rather than their fans. Trying to address disagreeable features in the sequel would get your thread locked or ridiculed by BioWare staff.
"...re-using some of the spaces and coming to them again was certainly one we were careful about and tried to re-use as artfully as we could."
Oh, you mean adding stone walls in doorways and stone debris in passageways? Areas are recycled 1:1, down to a bloody fireplace. Not even lighting is changed. |
Excellent points made, imo. Kinda shows up Bioware.

Last time I checked Canada doesn't have freedom of speech as you can be arrested for making fun of retards and gay people and bio-ware is Canadian.

FFS... this metacritic score bullshit again?
Well, the EA mentality has certainly taken over Bioware, it seems.

Surely some devs will be quitting soon. Don't want them anywhere near a game again, though.

Unless the sales won't be worse than the ME1 or DA: Origins ones, I don't see anyone quitting. What's pretty strange is the fact that there is no boasting about how many millions copies they've sold since launch.
If the game would've been actually a major hit, we would be seeing already someone from EA saying we've already sold 1 million copies on day one and we wouldn't see Biowarian/EA monkeys trying to explain how great the game is and how people are actually scared of the change in the gameplay.
Also the bans on Bioware forums show that they want to do damage crowd control, EA fully understanding now that the game it's a disaster and if they want to sell it, they need to stop any negative remarks or criticisms adressed towards the game. So they are adopting an aggressive attitude that will end up hurting even more EA (after all Bioware is now only an EA brand, Bioware as we knew it died on the day EA got their paws on them).

Writing is awful and incomparable to DA1, no effort spent on UI art anymore, removed customization of companion characters, reused/remixed music, reused animations, less character customization options, less abilities/skills and longer time to level up, bland boring checklist of quests, less dialog options -- LESS OF EVERYTHING IN THIS GAME.
Major fucking letdown is what this game is. A prime example of a cash cow. So disappointed

After reaching the Deep Roads Expedition, I lost any motivation to continue. I'm bored to death by the incredible amount of cinematics, the copy/pasted levels, the lack of an actual open world, the lack of life in the city, the lack of changes in the world that should follow your actions, the retarded inventory and the fact that my companions can't be equipped as i desire, the retarded relationships between the playable character and the companions, the poor musical score (more like of the lack of it, as the soundtrack is barely noticeable and when kicks in doesn't have any memorable tune). The character customization was reduced to bare minimum, the attributes don't feel like they actually doing much, the skill tree was reduced (though some stuff in that it's good).
Really a rush job and an attempt to milk the franchise with disregard to the fans of the original.
