I like both the DA games, but the elves in DA2 looked retarded

[DarkClown06]

I think both games should make passionate love and spawn the perfect game with a mix of both.

@SkywinII I know the Witcher 3 will have continuity, that I think its a sure fact, cause is a superb game. But at least make the ending epic, not just Cletho braying with Geralt after both get drunk, then either let Cletho off his arse or just kill him, the fighting of Saskia for me is actually the epic ending, Cletho is there just to kiss Geralt arses good bye, and before that tell him some bed time story :P

@willychong8921 I think it will come a continue for Witcher 2^^ I thought it was a good ending , just hope they making witcher 3 or something can't wait what happends=]

DA:2 wasn't greatThey changed everything... First they should Change back 2 old Dark spawn the new ones looks retarded , I want to Equip my companions , better Storyline like DA:O was epic ..and i want the zoom out back for better view ,don't Reused Caves/place over and over ,Same boring Town quited after first arc and uninstalled it..and Add both combat speed from both games so people can choose withone they want cuz i hate Fast Action games,Playing Skyrim and Witcher 2 epic games now , RIP

I liked them both, but Origin more. Because i dont like when your character speak and stuff, i like it more when you have to use your own fantasy to make your character, in DA2 they made it all for you so.. ugh

And i also liked the combat in DA:O more, it seemed more realistic and so, in DA2 the melee combat looks like crap. And both conversation and combat is a big part of DA so thats why Origin is my favorite. Sry if my english is bad, english is not my primary language :P

[roastedturkey]

honestly get rid of the aids from dragon age 2 and go back to DAO and make it better... not change it

[Vampirvork]

@CalanonC yeah agree.. the elves in DA2 looks like a copy of avatar

[GnosticAtheist]

@Rovz7 Buy origins if you want a tactical RPG, and dragon age 2 if you want a hacknslash.

[GnosticAtheist]

@JMSLionheart I do not agree. Dragon age 2 has a far better graphical system and combat appearance. To bad thats the only thing that is better, making it far inferior to its parent game. It is a tactical sytem and RPG that was origins, not graphics. They failed completely in realizing that, unless they just wanted everyone to buy it before they checked its word of mouth value.

[GnosticAtheist]

Yes, da2 has a better grapic and mechanics on several points. However, da2 lost all tactical value. Costumization is pretty much gone; weapons have only one stat, there is no type of weapon, no armor piercing, nothing. You have only a minute set of skills to choose from. Your character must use either two daggers OR a bow for rogues and simular for fighter! Seriously, Its like a skeleton of an actual system.

@Avialae There is a clear winner for me: Dragon Age Origins. And not only in graphics but every aspect.
