if i see that battlefield ad one more time...

I don't understand the hate for DA2.

Sure, the areas were very repetitive, but it didn't stop the combat from being engaging and fun! There were a lot of funny dialogue choices in this game and I couldn't help but love every character in it.

For DA:O, the combat was a bit... eh, but the story and scale was amazing!

I love them both equally, each for their own merits. Perhaps you guys should stop looking at the reasons why Origins was superior and start looking at the reasons DA2 is a good game.

@IBeLightning i cant believe they actually took parts of the game out just to make a fucking DLC and charge 10$ for it, if bioware would just open their eyes and see that EA is pretty much destroying the mass effect franchise and turning it into comparisons to other games which i really hate, EA just made ME into gears of war space edition

@jakascott21

yes i know this ... EA doesnt take their time they just want money and not customer happiness...

@kalmahcarl The story and content for Origins was great. I agree that the combat was lacking. I like DA2 for the better combat and visuals but the skill trees, weapon restrictions, repetitive areas, generic enemies, and the companion like/dislike mechanic I though were much worse than Origins. Overall I would say I like them close to the same amount as well. Perhaps DA3 will surpass both of them.

@IBeLightning EA is too damn impatient with games, everyone knows if the publishers would just let game designers take their time then they would be making a grand profit, but EA wants to make ME compare to Gears of war where as they want to compare kingdoms of Amalur to Skyrim (Skyrim wins obviously), hell theres even Morrowind and cyrodiil in skyrim probably for the massive DLC's bethesda is making

@IBeLightning i dont know if id say they were the funniest because isabela had her moments lol like one time fenris and anders were fighting about who Hawke liked more and all of a sudden out of the blue isabela said "Oh, will you two get over yourselves. I did her, too." lol

@val2161

ok well maybe its not. i know plenty of people who disagree with you and you really shouldn't insult people you don't even know. I think both of the games are amazing but thats just my opinion. See wow i didn't insult you once. Maybe you should give it a try! :D

@jakascott21

agreed EA has gone to shit ... almost every game they help create or just create has sucked recently ... the reason that is is because they rush the games too much. If they took the time to create their games like Bethesda does, then they wouldnt suck. Just look at Skyrim for example. Yes it has glitches and bugs but so does like every game out their and yet Skyrim is like 1000x bigger than all of them You know another thing ive always loved about the dragon age games was the music

[jakascott21]

@IBeLightning i agree, especially having merril anders and varric (the three funniest characters in the game in my opinion), i loved the dialogue between Oghren and Alistair in DAO, where he was talking about greasing his sword but i think why it sucked was because of EA, they have ruined the Dragon age franchise as well as the mass effect franchise, for ME3 they said that they are in fact taking away from the storyline a mission and a companion who is a prothean

[jakascott21]

@RenOniiSan wait what did he say before this huge arguement happened?
