It's amazing that Bioware would take its premier IP, and take risks with it, while still turning out a genuinely interesting RPG
The reaction to this game is going to discourage anyone from trying anything innovative ever again
With Dragon Age 2, Bioware has delivered a very different RPG that's still set within the very interesting world it came up with in Dragon Age 1. It's an ace combination...
Abstract: Bioware, the studio behind Dragon Age 1 and 2, have carved out a niche for themselves in the world of RPGs. Consistently they release games that delve deep into the original universes they create. Political intrigue, frighteningly in-depth plots, unique a...
I thoroughly enjoyed Dragon Age II and the new streamlined interface definitely makes playing the game a much more enjoyable experience. It may be set in another dusty old sword and sorcery universe but the game mechanics, characters and story a create...
Abstract: Short version: Dragon Age II is a simplified sequel to probably the best RPG I’ve ever played on a console. With that in mind, I came to this game excited, open, and interested. Yet Dragon Age II feels like playing an MMORPG without the MMO part. RPG f...

New
There’s lots of asset recycling (expect to see the same enemies and cave/ruin/house locations a lot. Story pretty much stays just within Kirkwall and three locations just outside Kirkwall. Plus, it will probably only take around 20 hours to beat it. Romancing party members can be tricky since you can’t talk to them at any time to get an idea of their feelings. Sandal’s role seems cringe-worthy t
Abstract: Being a huge Mass Effect fan has it's disadvantages. The biggest problem is that I instinctively compare every RPG that I play to ME even when they aren't the same type. The reason this is so detrimental is that I'm usually disappointed in other RPGs t...
