I played it on a harder difficulty bro and I found a bug accidently that you can level non stop and get infinite money. The higher level you get, the difficulty of the game also harder.

About the high dragon, It's the hardest in DA2 but non compared to DAO. Mage is imba in DA2. Just spam skills and everything around will die.

was the story a good one guys? I'm thinking of picking this up...and with the high res pack it looks pretty good...the story though is more of a deciding factor for me...what do u guys think about the story? DAO was pretty straightforward but epic...Scorpion King has big army of anubis...call some medjai to help defeat the army and finally 1v1 with Scorpion King to save the world...made u feel like u made a difference...what about DA2?

Read the previous comments. Everyone has their own opinions about the story and gameplay. For me, I found it was a very disappointing game for all its hype. Disappointing is the word for me.

for me its just been dumb down

but still is accetable level, not until like wanna die

wtf i just killed a whole dalish encampment. is there anyway to prevent this? other than not doing merrill's quest.

also, lol @ anders gathering gunpowder & fertilizer to "seperate himself from justice". obvious much?

alot of the companions are getting on my nerves

you have to select the last dialogue option, something like "I take responsibility"

oh? hmm.. too late now. i told myself i'd live with my decisions when i started playing.

Damn....the story was revolving more toward kirkwall's internal politics rather than fighting with darkspawn, i know that the archdemon is dead but there's still remnant darkspawn scattering all over the place. I'm kinda disappointed with the storyline though

Anyone managed to become Viscount? Supposedly the criteria was:

1. Friendly with Cullen
2. Told Alistair you wanna be Viscount (confirm??)
3. Side with Templars in final battle

it pisses me off knowing that 2 of my companions caused the deaths of so many innocents. thank god i got to f*ck them up

anders and merill?

eh i just realized merill is a temporary companion in dalish elf origins.
i never played dalish elf origins so i dunno.

http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Merrill

first, the story is near/completely different from the DA:O. with only slight reference to the DA:O story.
second, the gameplay have been completely overhauled. So ppl, who played DA:O. U feel that is been dumb downed cos they are no longer following D&D system.

My review, DA2 is a mix reaction
inventory system simplfied, companion inventory prefix :facepalm:
skills/spells tree replace the old system
combat feels more violent and fast. some say dumb down to hack and slash.
graphics improvement
more empahsise story and choices
spend most of the time in kirkwall and surrounding (similar to baulder gate)
lots of backtracking, reuse of map/textures from the DA:O, very limited enviroment changes.
and alot easier.

hmm at least meredith proved to be a bad455 final boss (in my play-through)

i was thinking of anders and isabella actually

That's also what I think.



The Anders one can be prevented though, while Isabella's you can only influence its conclusion and whether she stays or not.

Siding with Templars gives new info:

First Enchanter Orsino is responsible for Hawke's mother's death.

i just gave her up to the qunari. her reaction was priceless. nobody f**ks with me. HAHA.
and are you sure ander could be prevented? cause i read in the bioware forums that its unavoidable.

Yeah agree that Isabella's irresponsibility is somewhat irritating, but since she came back to return the relic it's all good

Anders I can't stand simply because he whines the WHOLE game! He would even whine during team banter.

guys
mana mau cari lyrium and stamina draught recipe lah?
i won the game but tak jumpa

wtf in my game she never came back. fuuuuuu.

Ahh, sorry, my bad. Turns out the wikia is a bit slow in updating

Well, I kept him alive though. He's too useful as a healer to pass up, not to mention it ruins my chances for an "all companions survive" playthough
