DarkHorse posted:I just finished DA2, and having wondered how people who got into ME3 late in the game weren't disappointed I think I understand. I went into DA2 with expectations fully tempered, and I was able to enjoy it pretty well. I got annoyed by the reused assets but was prepared for it, and knowing I would never leave Kirkwall let me focus on making it the best city I could. I felt I got my money's worth, but since I only spent $10 that's not saying much. I can only imagine paying $60 right after playing Origins.  and wasn't eagerly anticipating it for 2 years.

You'd think that Bioware would have said, "hey, we're making this game take place in an entire city and in the previous game, all the city locations were diverse and interesting, we should improve on that or at least keep status quo." Nooooooope. Running around, back and forth, back and forth. And the underground maps don't even make sense. Nothing in this game makes sense. I can't believe it got so many good reviews. Really shows you how much game review sites are in the developers pockets. Metacritic has one really bad review that is actually totally honest. I filled out my DAI keep importer thing and just have Act 2 and 3 to go. I saw that I can kill the Qun rear end in a top hat at the end of Act 2, or during it, so I am going to soldier through because I didn't like him and think I want him dead. But I want to do it. Not just a checkbox. E: I have hate hosed before, but never hate played a game. First for everything.

I was but if I didn't like a game, I just wouldn't play. gently caress, if that stupid ball chase maze level of Battletoads was actually doable with a gamepad, I would have finished that game no problem. I'd get to that level with perfect plays. No lost lives, tons of 1-ups, and then see it all melt away on that stupid level.

DA2's animations in the cut-scenes (and really, in-game) are noticeably bad. I mean, probably not that much worse than ME1, but definitely much worse than ME2, which was released alongside. (and there's absolutely no comparison to ME3/DAI, unless you think clipping errors ruin everything)

I'd like to remind everyone that Bioware tried to encourage people to buy Dragon Age 2 by giving away free copies of Mass Effect 2 for purchases made in the first month. At first that seems fair, because even a year after its release, I'd say Mass Effect 2 was worth shelling out $60, but then I remembered that Dragon Age 2 is worth -$60, in that I would pay someone to take it away.

Did that DA2 LP that got gassed end up reproduced anywhere besides the blog? All the pictures there are gone. The talk about Inquisition has me considering buying it but then I'd feel obligated to play through DA2 as well.

The one thing I can say, is I can just turn my brain off through most of this. The "map" makes it easy to tell where you need to go. ESC allows me to skip through conversations quickly. Easy mode makes combat, usually, a joke. It doesn't help that I hate everyone in the party. I liked Anders in DAOA but he's a whiny bitch now. Varrick is okay. I hate everyone else. For a game that is so obviously about characters they did a poo poo job there, too. This is really one of the worst gaming experiences I have ever encountered.

Aveline was okay for the most part and is the only romance option worth going for. As for the rest, I found the game more palatable when I tricked myself into considering they were going for a parody of Bioware games.

Trapezium Dave posted:Aveline was okay for the most part and is the only romance option worth going for. Varric, Aveline, and Isabela were the only ones I could tolerate. It had the added bonus of some pretty hilarious party dialogue. Varric is just awesome, don't think anyone disputes this. Aveline, while a bit of a stick in the mud, has your back if you help her out (and is hilariously stupid with relationships) Isabela is just easygoing and fun, she knows who she is and what she likes and doesn't give a gently caress about anything. I can see how that would annoy some people, though. I was ticked at her connection with the Qunari, but since I had her in the party so much she redeemed herself in my game. Merril is the worst combination of naive and dangerous, and is annoying to boot. Anders is like the above, and is literally Hitler. Carver I tried like hell to befriend, but he was dead set on being whiny and competing with Hawke over dumb poo poo. Whatever, man. Fenris seemed cool and like he could be a bro, just never had room for him in the party/missed his loyalty quest. Bethany died in Lothering, and I somehow missed Sebastian.

I thought I was in a romance with Anders. He said, meet me at yer place and we'll bang. So I go there and Pirate Girl is there and I gently caress her. I don't understand this game. E: In other words, Hawke is a whore.

I'm not far into Inquisition (about 10-12 hours maybe) and the two things I know so far are that I don't feel I've missed anything by not playing DA2 or either of the other DAs, and that the idea that Mass Effect 4 is basically going to be an ME equivalent of it is pretty cool.
