the reason ppl expected more from DA2 is...well...they expected things. DAO was the first game so they didnt had something to expect from it. i personally like DA2 alot
Though every Hawke can be different, your song selection really gives us a glimpse into the character you chose to be. Really nice job on the sync and very powerful video
Great work dude, and a very fitting song for Hawke. but it also depends on what kinda Hawke you where most of the time. So which one where you mostly? Funny and charming Hawke? Ruthless and strict Hawke? Or Kind and understanding Hawke?
If I had to pay YouTube a dime everytime the replay button was hit, YouTube would be living in a mansion. Furthermore, I have WindSymphony auditions in the morning, it's 4:30 in the morning and i continue to hit the replay button. Someone save me. -.-
I always seen both sides of this. I think Meredith and Anders both had good intentions to start with. However, both ended up doing evil. I think a lot of the game would generally make you feel bad for mages. However, much of the game is spent fighting evil mages and magic users. Although , the Templars may look evil now - I am sure when we eventually get to see Tevinter - it may change people's perspectives.
First time I fought Meredith, I looked at her abilities and though "Fantastic...the lyrium has turned her into Darth Meredith." Seriously...that glowing sword turned her into a Sith Lord....
Noooo, Anders... :( From his clothes, it looks like you romanced him... Hawke lost everything, so why would he willingly kill the man he loves? Mine didn't...
@olympian15 i sided with the templars, look at what free mages do turn to blood magic look at anders prim examples of them needing to be kept away from others i do agree the extremes in kirkwall were not needed but what can you do they carry a dangerous weapon with them 24/7 and if they dont want to be locked up they do themselfs no justice by saying we had no choice but to turn to blood magic, its just fucking crap lol i knows its a game just giving my opinion :) sorry!
@nyphix4321 well the reason why anders is doing all these things if you listen to the dialouge he says that the spirit of justice (who you actually have follow you around in dao awakening) absoloutly hates templars justice hates templars so much that when you do the quest to get anders he takes direct control of anders (mass effect 2 reference) and just abolishes them so when the templar lady and the mage dude were arguing justice was like screw these hippies and boom chantry gone
@olympian15 i think no matter what you do, that mage guy goes evil and u have to fight him with the templar, but i didn't have the one guy with the mouth stitched scence with me, which was pretty cool cause i liked that guy and wanted him on my team, to bad he died
@olympian15 What's wrong with the Templars? I love the Templars, I feel sorry for them. I mean look at Thrask, he's a Templar Knight but he lived to protect good mages. He was what the Templars should stand for. It's idiots like Meredith whom give the Templars a bad name. I mean what about blood mages who purposefully murder for thier own gain? Ander's murdered the Grand Cleric when all she wanted was peace between mages and Templars and he killed her to make a point?...
@1Lanavis1 The point I'm trying to make is I have nothing against mages, I think they're cool. What I don't like is people brandishing all Templars as evil, corrupt monsters when there are members of the order who live to protect the innocent and genuinely care for mages. I don't like abusive Templars like Meredith who give the order a bad name. I don't think ALL mages are bad but the danger blood mages put people through can be heartbreaking. Look at what happened to Hawke's mother for example.
@Zaeth0710 I try :) But it's true...glowing red sword? Check. Lightning? Check. Epic jumping? Check. Moving things with her mind? Check. Megalomaniacal psychopathy? Check. XD
@Azurn1 well you can either duel him or reject the offer and have every single Qunari in the room and the Arishok trying to kill you and your party. Either one works if you kill the Arishok during the duel or if you/companion kills him.
Haha yeah.. fuck that sister petrice bitch or whatever her name was. Decent video, I was looking to see if anyone was able to make a decent DA2 music video not a bad job. I might actually make my own now.
absolutely AMAZING you made it work with the music AND action while capturing the darkness of DA 2 i have rarely seen a video like this one! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Prefered the armour and story in the first better they should have made this the Add on and Awakening the sequel. I miss Origins after this. Quanari look way kooler in this one though.
Just outa curiousity, did you find Isabela and have a low friendship/rivalry and have her leave before qunari troubles, not find her at all, or just not had her show up at all in this vid?
@bandaifan1 I think its the last mission of Act 2 where aveline and isabella will be in ur manison arguing about the relic and two elves converting to the Qun. This leads up to the ariskock attacking the city.
This really is Hawke's song, no matter what they chose to do, Hawke is buffeted by all these forces, that killing an Archdemon won't fix.
That is probably the biggest flaw: Hawke is not the one making great acts for the betterment of the world around them, reacting, not acting. Merrill & Anders have goals, even if they mess up, they are trying. The class mechanics are better, but plot and character arcs aren't as satisfying. Not easy is fine, but dead ends abound for multiple companions.
I dunno, that Templar scene really gave me chills. It's one thing to see the people we can identify with: elves, mages, templars, knights, etc. band together to battle evil orc-like monsters, but it's quite another thing to see humans/elves ripping each other to pieces like the knights and mages did at the end of this game.
@Azurn1 No it didn't. Playing it has made me nostalgic about DA:O though. It felt more... epic than DA2. There was a merry-little-band-against-the-world feel to it that I think DA2 doesn't quite manage.
@Azurn1 i agree i like the mechanics and new features but the story line was just bad compared to DAO and the ending was so bad compared to DAO as well. But you have to give them credit DAO took a few years in the making while dragon age 2 only was done in a year they just rushed it
@Hekynn maybe if you play DA: O you'll see. I started playing Origins again to make a proper save to bring into DA2... now I don't want to start DA2 because I was reminded of how awesome Origins was and how so much of that is lost in the 'sequel'
the reason ppl expected more from DA2 is...well...they expected things. DAO was the first game so they didnt had something to expect from it. i personally like DA2 alot
