About Dragon Age II

Embark on an all-new adventure spread across a ten-year span of years with an all-new hero in the multiple award-winning Dragon Age saga. In Dragon Age II you are Hawke, said to have been one of the few to survive the destruction of your homeland. Forced to fight for survival, you gathered the deadliest of allies, amassed fame and fortune and sealed your place in history, eventually becoming in effect a legend in your own time. But legends are all in the telling.

Dragon Age II utilizes a nonlinear narrative, taking the form of a story-within-a-story that hinges upon your exploits as told by the storyteller, Varick. Yet like any good storyteller, Varick tends to exaggerate from time to time. When questioned on events related to Hawke, Varick may present a different scenario in which Hawke's exploits play out. It is within these replays that the decisions of the players hold sway, as their particular versions of Hawke relive these events. Is the player's particular version of Hawke, male or female? A warrior, a rogue, or a mage? Is Hawke good-natured or something less than a salt-of-the-Earth type? Is romance in the air amongst characters he/she associates with? These choices are all the player's to make and each affect the the outcome of the story at all levels.

First of all: in my 20 years of C-RPG experience I've never written a game review before, and that's because I've never felt the need to do so. I believe that with Drageon Age 2 a worrying trend is emerging, a trend I would like to address here: short development phases (18 month for DA2), incomplete game world and story, simplistic game play to broaden the audience, demanding full price for a game while preparing DLCs to fill in the remaining gaps. Bioware was once regarded "the bringer of rain" after a drought in the genre of RPGs (for the PC). But now they could play the opposite role: if they are the most prominent agents of the genre (besides Bethesda) and their games are setting trends, then other companies will follow their example, if they haven't already. To be more detailed I'll point out aspects that annoyed me the most:

Game world:
- The most insolent recycling in a state-of-the-art RPG I've seen so far: dozens of times you walk through levels which are IDENTICAL, and I mean identical. Every corner, texture, model, architecture, lighting etc. are exactly the same, just with another label (for example "cave xyz" instead of "cave abc").

- The main game world consists of just 15 to 20 small or very small locations in a city (small means an area which takes 20 seconds to 60 seconds to cross, very small means a simple flat)

- There are no (more or less) diversified regions like snowy mountains, deserts, jungle, forest, real dungeons, castles, other towns etc., just this one city and three outer regions that are not noteworthy

- The few existing places look sterile and somehow empty although there are a few people standing around, but they are just copies doing nothing.

This game is a hateful and lazy attempt at cashing in on the success of the brilliant Dragon Age: Origins. By the time you have completed the same dungeon for the 10th time on the pretence of a different quest, you really feel ripped off.

And almost every enemy is essentially identical, some are bigger than others. The big spiders are fun. The big dragons chase you around for ages because if you stop, it will kill you, while your rogue with the crossbow does tiny amounts of damage so it takes 10 minutes for the thing to die.

And whether it is EA, Bioware, or both, they need to get a grip of what makes RPG players enjoy RPGs - character customisation for all of the party, making the game as you want it, diverse quests and interest magic items that do more than give you some tiny, inconsequential stat boost.

The story in this game could have been written on the back of a cigarette packet down the pub. I want a great game with a solid story with some interesting twists, not a reasonably boring story interspersed by really tedious combat.

If you read almost every mainstream review of this game, the reviews hark on about the awkward dialogue of the first game, the disappointment of the first game. I don't remember them saying that the first time - it appears that criticising the first game endlessly and talking up this games alleged improvements was considered the best way forward.

I am guessing that those reviewers do not get out much. The dialogue, character interaction and 'adult' themes of this game could have been written by a 13-year old whose sum total of life experience and interaction with the opposite gender is his computer club at school and Loaded magazine. It isn't even as though the 'adult' stuff is that good either.

Dragon Age: Origins was a bit of a moving back to the glory days of Baldur's Gate for Bioware. Sure, it didn't have the D&D rule set and it had some questionable mechanics (like cool down periods for spells) but it did have a strong story, engaging characters, many many different and colourful locations and so much to do.

And then Dragon Age 2 came along a week ago, and Bioware must have hated how good Dragon Age: Origins really was because they decided to get rid of almost everything that made Dragon Age: Origins so popular. The combat has moved from being reasonably tactical, to button mashing/clicking. Gone is the overhead camera, spamming of abilities increased, people jump all over the place, combat now sees enemies respawn in mid air in the middle of combat, and to make it all even less forgiving: all the cool locations are replaced with a single big dull city for the huge majority of the game, crafting has been kicked out and replaced with something far less agreeable, the characters you meet feel far more clichéd and uninteresting and the story is pretty yawn worthy not to mention it has quite a lot of cracks in its pacing.

To make matters worse, the game feels like it was badly rushed, with almost no area of the game receiving much attention to detail. From the music to the voices to the graphics, it all makes you feel as a cheap sequel. The city fails to convince (the guards eagerly tells you that it's overcrowded and full, yet the streets are almost deserted in the game - this is one of the many immersion-breaking things you'll find) and it really feels a great deal more like a game and less like a world to explore. Bioware didn't find this to be enough, so they ended up re-using the exact same locations a dozen times over in the game with minute differences.
