    btw that first screenshot definitely looks more like BG2 and not BG1 (it's part of a druid questline or something. that is the entrance to an area where you duel some dumb fuck and finish the quest iirc)

    For me DA2 was an average experience. It has some good ideas (Non epic plot, city adventure) but is ruined with the laughable writing.

    But when you look at the modern games, like AC:B, Halo Reach, Crysis 2, F3 then it would be unfair to say it's worse than these games. (And I liked it better than DA)

    No offense, but what the fuck...

    ...is AC:B?
    ...is the deal with comparing DA2 with Halo and Crysis?
    ...is wrong with you?
    ...are you talking about?
    ...ow I bit my tongue.
    ...I spilled my drink!

    Maybe this is a better way to say it:

    "For all the criticisms I've lobbed about in this review, Dragon Age II is an acceptable game. I found it to be a little bit repetitive and dull, but it's also fairly polished and well-presented, and more than playable. However, I hate the direction BioWare is going with their games, and I just sort of wish they'd develop a first-person shooter for the Xbox and get it out of their system, and then come back to where many long-time fans would like them to be -- striving to make role-playing games better than Baldur's Gate II, rather than coddling to the masses with acceptably simple action games that sell well."

    1) Assassins Creed: Brotherhood... ?

    2) All are action games.


    I ended up doing a speed-run of the review. All I remember is "quickie, Konjad, to Grunker".

    It's the troll mound from BG2, you can see it on the bottom left corner of this map:

    Does Volourn? If so I want to play it.

    The fuck is this? NWN is no more an action game than BG2 is. The only difference between them is that NWN is a single character game, so idiots don't get confused by a party. In other words, a throwback to old school popamole faggotry made by retards for retards like Fallout. :troll:

    Also: "You will later try to resolve the problems of the city, but fortunately you do not have any great impact on an entire world; instead you actually influence the future of a single town just a little, which is an improvement over all the world- and galaxy-saving heroes in all the previous Bioware role-playing games."

    Yeah, remember in BG2 when you were trying to save the world? Me neither.

    Conclusion: this review is shit and konjad's a faggot.
