The plot works even better when all the other RPG basics are on point, restoring the masterful story-crafting skills Dragon Age is known for. In addition to pleasing-the-eye visuals, the open world is expansive, distinct, and more compelling to want to explore. Think of this latest entry in the Dragon Age series as a combination of all that works well in Dragon Age 2 plus the RPG gameplay that stunned fans the most in Dragon Age: Origins at the very start.
Of course, the graphics are dated now, so do expect some bit of clunkiness while replaying.Īs the years went by, the Dragon Age franchise polished up its craft, releasing an evidently more superior Dragon Age: Inquisition to Dragon Age 2. These many years later, though, the technical loose screws start to seem less important, as the story writing and fast-paced combat come through the only way Dragon Age knows how. The disappointment was just hard to let pass. Especially given Dragon Age 2 is the sequel to the highly acclaimed first-ever masterpiece game, Dragon Age: Origins. And then there’s the asset and open-world repetitiveness, which frankly is never a “yay” for any RPG game.Īpparently, BioWare had a stringent timeline to develop Dragon Age 2, but still. So even if you carefully plan out your gameplay, the unpredictability that followed thwarts all your hard work. Then the enemies therein jump ship any chance they get. But “without,” all hell breaks loose.ĭragon Age 2 failed to incorporate gamers’ choices in the outcome of the story such that every decision you make has very little impact on how the story ends. It’s the kind of nitty-gritty that “with” hardly goes noticed. Instead, other gaming technicalities that would normally knit Dragon Age games into a nicely wrapped package were disregarded. The plot has seldom been an issue with Dragon Age games, and Dragon Age 2 is no exception.
