a real sense of exploration and discovery there
I'm not sure I heard you right, care to repeat?

I played it with a rogue and while it was a bit of a Benny Hill situation I thought it was more par-for-course dumb than historically bad.
There is a video for that
oh hey it's cassandra before they made her look masculine
Mike Laidlaw on Cassandra in DA2:
Casper Konefal on Cassandra in DA:I:And then, obviously, we wanted to make sure she was hot. To dial her to eleven, to make her absolutely gorgeous, really enticing—yet at the same time, she's powerful, she's strong, she's wearing platemail
I just found beauty too subjective, too mushy too, too, well lets just say I didn't find it adequate ... Her face became all about her aggression. Through the angle of her facial structure to the angle of her ears. It all became about giving her a strong aggressive forward visual flow.
But remember, it's a conspiracy theory that they're purposely making female video game characters uglier.

The face of this character is a personification of the game itself . Looks like succubus on the outside, and it's horrific in the inside.Still the second coming of the goddess Venus compared to this:
His point seems to be that he's bad at building/playing characters (and as I mentioned, you absolutely do not have to solo him).I think you are missing OP's point.
^ how the pros do it
At least it didn't turn the game into a platformer like the Risen 1 boss fight did.
I must be in a small minority here but I thought the moment to moment awesome-button gameplay in DA2 wasn't as rancid as in the others.
Why aren't you playing a mage?
FUCK YOU! I clicked dis shit and now my jootobe SUDDENLY full of dragon age fags!
Edit: I hated the "floor turns into something that kills you" mechanic in RPGs before this.
That's always super annoying in any game
I'm replaying Dragon Age 2 because I hate myself and my family, and I just did the solo Arishok battle at the end of act two. This HAS to be the most poorly designed battle encounter in RPG history.
First off, his health bar is endless and he can take health potions, making the fight last for-fucking-ever. Secondly, his attacks can stun-lock you if you're not careful, and if he gets you against a wall forget it. Third, as a warrior or rogue you only regenerate stamina on kills, so you have to rely on stamina potions which have a long cooldown. This leads to not being able to use abilities that often, which leads to you sitting and watching your character hack away slowly against an endless health bar. Health potions are also on a cooldown, and the guy hits hard.
So... the battle results in a fucking endless parade of running away waiting for potions to refill, doing a special attack or two, then slowly watching your dude hack away with basic attacks that barely move the health bar, then running away again kiting the big dummy around over and over again. I fucking DARE you to come up with a worse encounter in RPG history. I'm not even gonna put restrictions on it, by year or budget or anything else. Come up with a better one, anywhere, and I'd love to read about it. 'Cause as of right now I think this is the winner by a wide margin.
OP plays shit game. OP complains of shit encounter in said shit game. Is OP off his meds?
can we just agree that cooldowns are the shittiest way to balance a game?Third, as a warrior or rogue you only regenerate stamina on kills, so you have to rely on stamina potions which have a long cooldown.

OP was more wondering if there was anything worse and spurring discussion of examples, rather than just making a thread to complain.
Get. good.Ok, I have one: Malavon in Icewind Dale is a teleporting faggot who spams Finger of Death.
