Description Ahh~ I felt like I needed to draw some more. Here's the original meme if you want to do it as well! [link]

The first playthrough I had, I was planning to have a rivalmance with Fenris. But guess what? I did not have 100% rivalry with Fenris (there was no way I could add to it without basically restarting the game.), so he left me. Isabella left me too. Which made me really sad because she was one of my favorites.

Dragon Age 2 was a good game, but it was lacking in many areas.

Rant below, WARNING

For instance: I did not feel the same connection between the characters in II like I did in Origins. Even though you know the characters in II for a decade, you still don't feel close to them at all. Origins took place less than.. what was it? A couple of months to a year? Yet I felt so much closer to the characters than in II.

I did not like the romance options. Fenris was too whiny. He was always complaining about his problems and was always, as Varric says, broody. I guess that's why his "romantic" moments were a bit more rewarding, but I still didn't feel it all too much. Oh yeah, Anders was whiny too. I don't really have to explain that one though do I?

I know this game was made in only a year, but it still doesn't make up for all the laziness that was obviously shown. The game only takes under 24 hours to beat. I felt there was no real goal to the game like there was in Origins. In Origins, I knew my purpose. To kill the Arch Demon. In II it was all over the place. No real goal. All I was doing was random quests that somehow ended up making sense in the end. (kinda.) Oh yes, and as every other DA2 player knows: the overuse of certain buildings, caves, mansions...etc.

All in all, I do not believe this game was worth the $60 it asked for. I also bought this game 4 days before it went on sale for 40%. Lucky me, huh?

End Rant.

I still think the game is good though. Why would I be doing a meme if I didn't think so? The game forces you to make heart wrenching decisions at times. Sounds bad, but it brings more excitement into you life, haha~ I recommend other people to play it.

You managed to get Fenris to like you... as a mage? Truly, I am stunned! :'D
I loved DA2 as well, but yeah the characters didn't seem as well developed. I miss the whole engaging in conversations and not just random remarks.

U romanced Fenris as a mage too, huh? And of COURSE Zevran and Alistair look a bit worse for wear, by the time u meet them it's been years since the first one.

If you have enough DLC's, and you explore every time period thoroughly, it takes far more than two days. Trust me, I'm on my fifth playthrough. Maybe more than that. I honestly lost track...

Every single mansion (cept 1), cave, underground lair, and warehouse were EXACTLY THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that my character had a voice and facial expressions though. And my rivalmance with Fenris was almost made worth the breaking up at the ending kiss scene. I loved that scene. XD

I understand what you mean by the lack of a goal, but I don't think it takes under 24 hours. I think that might just be me though, because I die a lot.

Oh really? That might be it and it also depends on how high your difficulty is. Mine was on normal so it wasn't that hard. Most people I know did finish it in one or two days.

OMG! So it did happen to other people as well?? O_O

I had the same problems with the trap stuff like you (in my case, I had Varric, Fenris and Sebby with me), but that always happened to me as well xD I even got stucked in my own Loop of "avoiding" the traps, because my PC-mouse run low on energy xD I walked into a trap and jumped back, but my mous stuck on the trap place and ordered my character to walk there, so she did it over and over again xD

Iriene Hawke: That wasn't funny! I killed myself by just walking in that loop Dx

To be fair, Dragon Age II might be shitty when you compare it to BioWare's other games (hell I thought KoTOR was better), but it's still an amazing game for gaming standards. The only good romance option is Isabela IMO and at least her rivalmance and friendmance doesn't make Hawke look bipolar or it isn't just "I love you!/I hate you but I want you!", they're both different.

About Zevran and Alistair, well, they changed the character design for the elves (I'm now happy Valenna wasn't in DA2 XDDD) and Alistair is 10 years older. But still they look like crap I agree.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

RebeccaReporting In reply to saralalah [2011-07-06 18:35:44 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I agree. It's a really good game! Really? I've never tried romancing Isabela. I think it'd be fun to romance her though. I should try next time I play lol.

Yeah I know! I really don't like how the elves look like in II. I guess they look more like a different race rather in Origins they basically looked like short humans with long ears.. But I still don't like it. & Yeah it was 10 years, but the II characters looked exactly the same the whole time did they not? Haha maybe it's the stress of being king.

saralalah In reply to RebeccaReporting [2011-07-07 02:50:43 +0000 UTC]

Rivalmance Isabela is the best IMO!

And a very good point... they had to adapt him to the new graphics or whatever... I don't know. They fucked up his nose really bad anyway.
Elves as short humans worked better than avatar look-a-likes with face tattoos. They had more delicate traits than the humans too. They're all ugly now anyway XD.

Oh god I had varric stuck behind a release trap for over 10 minutes on my last play through because he just couldn't run through the freaking flames and take the 1-5 dmg that'd regen anyway ffffff. Noooo he had to dodge and activate the trap 2309489023890289 times. xD


IDK I found the rivalry path to fenris romance endearing. I mean you just don't have to take shit from him that way!

RebeccaReporting In reply to Fukairi [2011-07-06 18:23:47 +0000 UTC]

Haha it's so troublesome but it's hilarious to watch. Don't you love Ander's scream when he gets hit by flame? Normally it would be, "Urgh" but he all out screams, "AAHHHHHHHHH!"

Yeah I liked it too, it's just I ended up with a horrible ending because I did't raise his rivalry all the way. )':

Fukairi In reply to RebeccaReporting [2011-07-07 11:42:44 +0000 UTC]

Yeah :---D and oh god anders' scream was a great source of enjoyment!

Huh :---D For who knows whatever reason I always got all the characters to 100 rivalry/friendship! No one has ever crossed me. Though I kinda wanted Merrill to cross me since I wanted to kill her so bad... Ahaha I'm horrible but she annoyed me so much, kinda in the same way Leliana did in Origins;;;

Fukairi In reply to RebeccaReporting [2011-07-07 19:56:18 +0000 UTC]

I was never actually mean : O Or maybe once or twice when they were really getting in my face LOL but I just took them to a lot of quests with me and they just got the aprroval/rivalry from that! And once you open a path to rivalry for example you'll always get rivalry from their dialogues so it was pretty easy I guess? I mean I had 100+ friendship with aveline on my first playthrough though I hardly took her with me...

Yeah! I really hope for Dragon Age 3 they work on it for more than a year. They're trying to make it like the COD (or any other one year game) franchise, but you just can't do that with an RPG.

Seriously, the male romance options were vary dramatic. I am an Anders fangirl, but I will admit his Twilight lines he gives you if you start the flirting and not him is one of those "Really?" moments and Fenris has baggage that made me want to give him a boot to the head -.-

Basically though Ander and Fenris got used by bioware for plot reasons and got cheapened by it.

Lol Bioware and its hidden traps and party banter and quests and romance and etc. etc... Sounds like Baldur's Gate lol.

Though maybe the party banter in Dragon Age isn't as repetitive as Baldur's Gate. Minsc was annoying in BGII. Always talking about JUSTICE and HEROES and his hamster. He kept pissing me off but I couldn't bear to kick him out of my group. DX

...I swear, I need to find that game so you can borrow it. D: It's no Dragon Age, but it's still good. XD
And I should probably try out Dragon Age for myself sometime too. ; 3 ;
