Title: Dragon Age II
Post by: JayCalian on March 21, 2011, 03:40:18 pm: Dragon Age 2 Trailer - Destiny Extended (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlACgYHtWCI#ws)

Really awesome game! I have completed it once. Completed it on Normal difficulty and class was Mage.

Dragon Age : Origins was more of a RPG game. Dragon Age II is sequel to Dragon Age : Origins of course. DA II is more of an action game. Running around , throwing fireballs at enemies and blowing them up.
I really recommend playing the demo and Dragon Age Origins before buying Dragon Age II.

Here are 2 videos of DA:O and DA II gameplay

DA:O - Dragon Age Origins Gameplay PT3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lub5e_9NDW8#ws)

DA II - Dragon Age 2 Gameplay HD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_DHkIo64es#ws)

2 Advices of DA II

There are 2 characters named Carver and Bethany. Bethany is your sister and an apostate mage , Carver is your brother and an warrior. If you want Carver to stay with you when playing , choose Mage. If you want Bethany to stay with you when playing , take Rogue or Warrior. One of them has to die near the start of the game.

If you don't want Carver or Bethany to die when entering the Deep Roads , take Anders with you.

Anyways, awesome games, completed on all classes ( II ).

Post by: JayCalian on March 21, 2011, 05:31:58 pm: Yeah , I wanted to add ''SPOILER''. But I was really disappointed when I saw that Bethany died. So I tought I might warn others ;).

If you haven't completed the game, do not read. Readen on own risk.

I apparently can't kill Meredith on my last save, her health freeze @ 1HP, you have any idea? D:

Using mods?

Is she jumping around and making the statues attack you? If she isn't , you're bugged or something. Patch could fix it I think.

Tried to make my own version of Hawke. There are 2 preset faces wich are meant to be ''Hawke''. These preset faces look old and weird.

Post by: Jimmylicious on March 22, 2011, 07:33:35 am: Dragon Age Origins was cool, but this is abit too much. They over done it.
Title: Re: Dragon Age II
Post by: JayCalian on March 22, 2011, 10:48:05 am: I agree. I liked the fighting system of DA:O more. In DA 2 you just run around , use skills without having to press space to pause. Playing a Rogue feels more like playing a ninja. But still an awesome game

Post by: Wolfe on March 22, 2011, 09:07:10 pm: I guess i'll like DA2 then :P I found DA:O boring due to the all planning and stuff, when it comes to 3rd person RPG i like getting into the action more :P
Title: Re: Dragon Age II
Post by: JayCalian on March 23, 2011, 09:22:56 am: Well you can change the difficulty to nightmare , so you'll have to press space to choose what spells or skills your companions will use. But on easy or normal you can just run around and attack them without pressing space.

Post by: Wolfe on March 23, 2011, 05:31:37 pm: Scratch that, they freaking ruined the game, I wanted abit more of action, not an Arcade fighting game.
Title: Re: Dragon Age II
Post by: JayCalian on March 23, 2011, 06:54:31 pm: Well I agree. That's because they created the game with EA. EA games are more action style. That's why DA 2 looks like an Action-RPG game. I still like it , but not as much as DA : O.

A Nice screenshot I got :

I used http://dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2357 (http://dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2357) Mod. Original version of The Exiled Prince is required!

Post by: iDavid on March 24, 2011, 07:53:37 pm: DA2 is way better imo, I can't stand not hearing the voice of my character :razz:

However, isn't there a chance to continue playing after the story? :( I would like to keep on doing what I did with Isabela :D
Title: Re: Dragon Age II
Post by: JayCalian on March 24, 2011, 08:52:16 pm: Well.. Bioware is surely gonna release some new DLCs for DA2. For DA:O they released about 10 DLCs.

First of all, you need to enable your console. Read on it here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/988968-dragon-age-ii/cheats. (http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/988968-dragon-age-ii/cheats.)

After that, press ~ and type: runscript zz_dae_debug. Then, select the options: World Map Debug -> Initialize World Map -> Act 3.

You should then be able to travel anywhere you want as before you beat the game.
I'm not sure if this may cause any bugs, so have a backup save before you save after doing this.

_________________
To activate secondary quests you may have missed...do these simple steps. These steps do not require you to activate your map (some of them may be, I haven't checked every single quest).

1. Type runscript zz_dae_debug in commands.
2. Click Plot Jump -> Secondary Plots -> One-Offs -> Work with a plot -> Finding Nathalian (you can pick any of them, this is just an example) -> Set Plot flag -> Quest Accepted

There are a bunch of options, and some may and may not work. You have to play around with it.

This may also cause bugs, as with above. There should be a very little number of bugs, if any.

If that's what you meant

Post by: FastSh00T on March 28, 2011, 05:06:53 pm: I dare you to convince me to play Dragon Age II. Two friends of mine were talking with me about the game, and telling me how awesome it is but they did not convince me.
