Yeah, I still don't understand the idea of disallowing the equipping of items on your companions.
I loved comparing equipment and constantly upgrading with new found loot.

I think in order to up the pace of the game they removed some of this aspects of the game. It's waaay less of a tactical rpg and waaaay more like a hack-and-slash.

Hopefully Bioware's epic storytelling rescues the game brows.gif

OI SPOILER TAG PLEASE^

Got my signature edition in the mail yesterday!

Played until level 8.
already starting to get on my nerves how I have so many items but no one can use. And even with all the items limited to Hawke, only 1 set can use (because I'm a mage)

All the Strength and Dexterity items rotting in my inventory. alamak....

And alot of stuttering with DX11.

I also dislike how the codex has lost its coolness. There used to be a nice splash of black and red in the middle of the screen whenever u found a codex. That is now gone. The codex is now just ARIAL text in a UI border. sad.gif

But I have to say that the bonus items from Signature Edition are imba cool. Very useful to get from early part of the game. Combat looks nicer than before, but I still miss the slower paced, tactical feel of DAO.

Sidequests have been quite okay
Kirkwall looks amazing.

Have to play more to see if the storyline is epic enough, but so far still fairly enjoyable. about a 7/10. (compared to DAO's 9/10)

i dun think the server is down as most of u here r playing n discussing while im stuck in activation cry.gif

still waiting for oficial response n resolution on this matter, sum lucky ******* got thru n ive tried their method but to no avail... still stuck...

help....

didn't experience that. maybe it's your firewall?

btw, anybody playing with 1920x1080 with DX11 Very High, everything ON, 8xAA, 16xAF, High-Res Texture Enabled?
I can't do that even on GTX 580 overclocked.
And I'm running on the latest BETA driver that supposedly optimized for DA2.

For average >60fps I need to go 1920x1080 DX11 Medium, 8xAA, 16xAF, High-Res Texture Enabled.
I tried playing around with all the settings and this is the one that looks the best while >60fps.

comments?

The review from Gamespot has every detail spot-on.
I completely agree with it. All the pros and cons explained clearly:

Copy Paste for those lazy to click:

In short, not as epic and enjoyable as DAO, but a fairly good RPG nonetheless.
Less Tactical and faster paced. Simplified unnecessarily. Overall still a decent fantasy rpg experience.

Ok managed to get the game running about 35 and 40 fps by switching V-sync off.
*

But if you switch V-Sync off you will get Screen Tearing.
and you can tahan gaming at 35-40 fps? I don't like gaming with anything less than 60 fps...

Wow... All these DA2 love and hate. laugh.gif

I got a question based on DA:O though.

Which char of what race and which gender and what class have the best possible storyline, ending and gameplay, with all DLC included?

I used to think playing a girl elf/human mage then run off with Alistair in the end would be the best ending.

But Witch Hunt makes me ponder whether I should've played a male and pair with Morrigan instead.

Help? I wanna replay and finish off my Origins with the best ending before moving on to DA2.

i didn't play Witch Hunt so i dunno lol, but I liked my ending alot.
I played a Human Female Noble Warrior and....

I find it hard to believe your GTX 580 can't handle that seeing as I'm running on a 5850 oc'ed with a smooth framerate throughout with everything at max even AA and AF. Could be something bottlenecking your system? Problems with any other games? Maybe try another beta driver?

You are running DX9 or DX11? Very High? And everything on?

After everything said and done, it is still a disappointment for those who have played DAO.
You can't deny that.

Definitely too average from Bioware, a company that many of us have put our faith into.

Enjoyable for just playing casually, but nothing immersive or influential.
A disappointing 6.5/10 from a company that brings us 9/10 games from most of their titles.

Hmm.. I guess you can say it's fairly fun if you don't treat it as a sequel to origins or a game from Bioware.

fortunately it's not expensive.

Just reached level10.
Some of the battles now really require tactics instead of just spamming AoE and attacks. Finally, a challenge. biggrin.gif

Maps still repeating though. annoying

think there are other issues as well. found one when I was just started playing (beginning part). the mouse cursor was locked in dialogue icon. buggy alright. even DAO never gives me any prob.

Same thing happened to me. I tried loading saves and still same thing. Cursor was locked onto dialogue icon and keep going back to Merrill to speak. Couldnt interact with anything.
Had to restart the game, then it was okay. hmm.gif

eh question.
The Exiled Prince (Sebastian) is a playable party member right?
How come I finished the quest and he didn't join me..?

Did I do something wrong or was that DLC pure crap? (Added ONE quest)
