Pros

Engaging battle system.
Interesting companions.
Great graphics.
Amazing character relationships and development.
Tons of story paths.
Fast & Fun Combat with Strategic Appeal.
Kirkwall is Reminiscent of Baldur's Gate II's Athkala.
Memorable Characters.
Spectacular writing and voice acting bring each character to life.

Cons

Smaller world to explore.
Weaker story.
Less room for customization than in DA:O and level reuse.
PC players lose large battlefield view of combat.
Final battle falls flat.
Multiple elements have been inexplicably simplified over the original.

Dragon Age 2 doesn't quite feel like a sequel. It feels more like a side story rather than a proper follow up to the first game. You are just limited to the city of Kirkwall which makes you feel like you are exploring the confines of a well crafted...

o what to make of Bioware’s Dragon Age II? Is there a way to summarise its good attributes and its odd failings? Dragon Age II is an excellent RPG by any objective standard. It has a great story, great characterisation, great intrigue, replayability,...
