1. "There were no decisions to be made, not diplomatic way out of confrontations"

2. Isn't this the same retarted Codexian whine about every single BIO game ever? How does that make DA2 worse than, say, BG1 where 99% of quests there are no options at all? LMFAO

1. Out about 100 fights I encountered two that I could avoid with diplomacy. Maybe you found some goldmine.

2. People never lauded BG1 for its great quest design. Isn't most of the codex on a opinion that BG1 is pretty bad even? But you quoted the longer quest, which obviously is in a vast minority. Most are of the single fight variety.

On the good side, the quest I based that one on, actually had a "diplomatic solution" for the last fight. (Save aposte half-elf)

Hey racofer someone who bought and registered the game stole your review. It's strangely poetic.

That image has been giving me consistent lulz for the last hour or so at work.

I dunno what it is, but the qunari's facial expressions match the dialogue perfectly.

Frame 1: smug
Frame 2: confused/vexed but cautiously optimistic
Frame 3: Exasperation, now all that is left is to find out if ANYTHING at all about DA2 is good.
Frame 4: RAGE
Frame 5: Resignation/derp

I experienced what Havoc said not only for DA but also for the Mass Effect series: I was more interested in the story and the ending.

The overall quality of graphics is satisfying. I have to commend bioware because their game runs good even on older computers(Athlon 64 X2 @ 3GHz, 2 gigs of ram, 7800 GT / screen resolution 1280*720, medium detail settings).

The plot is better than in Dragon Age Origins. I did not like the role of Warden/Messiah/Savior you had in the first game.

Quest design is indeed bad but not worse than the first game.

I agree with the rest parts of your review and congratulate you for your hard work.

Why do you people even play this game?

What incentive does it give? Why would you waste your time on

this just so you can say you FINISHED a horrible game.

It's not horrible and it's fun. Face the truth, you are just a blind hater (I was too, after playing the demo, but it seems that the game is much much better than the demo. Though the combat is still shit)

Konjad i gave up on the end of DA 1 (which was a good game, safe the filler combat), and the general trend is that DA 2 is much worse.

So why in gods name should i even install this?

It is the burden of the Codexer to play shit games (at least 7 times) so he/she/it can authoritatively confirm that it is shit.

Well, if you gave up on DAO then I wouldn't recommend DA2.
