In my opinion, it was better than origins in some ways, and worse in others.
PROS:
-Better graphics.
-Your character talks and has expressions.
-Lots and lots of quests, which makes the game seem longer.
-The plot is very deep and engaging
-The friendship system is a little different. It's friendship/rivalry points versus approve/disapprove. I liked it better.
-They have day/night options now.
-The way you fight is SO MUCH BETTER. I can't really explain how it's better, but you would know what I mean if you played it.
CONS:
-It gave you the illusion of choice. At the end of origins, you really had a choice in how the game turned out. But in DA2, no matter what, you end up with practically the same ending.
-Lots of bugs.
-Became very lazy with settings. Every cave you go into is the same cave, every house you go into is the same house... etc.
-You can't just randomly talk to your companions anymore. You can really only talk to them at the beginning of an act (there are three), after a companion quest, or if you have a gift specific to them.
I personally loved this game, regardless of its flaws. My suggestion is to buy it and play it. I have already played through it three times and I love it.Is Dragon Age 2 a good game or not?
the battle system has changed a lot. it is more of an action adventure game now. the visuals have been refined and it is pleasant to look at. i do not believe the main story to be as engaging as origins. i think the draw of a knights of the old republic style game was what many people enjoyed about the first one. get used to the town you arrive in in the beginning in DA2 because you will spend A LOT of time there. good luck! definitely worth a gamefly or rent but not as good.
Watch this review. Dead on!
