I'm excited for this. I want to see how people rip into it and tear it to shreds. Scorned Bioware fans are like a pack of rabid dogs. And let's face it, no $10 DLC is going to fix this mess of a game.
Dragon Age II Leaves Kirkwall With Legacy DLC
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
Fenris made me think "look, a JRPG character in my Bioware game, how do I kill it?" I hope to never see Bioware do that again.chaosyoshimage said:
Anyone else think this is going to be a 30min DLC? i might forgive 2 if its a full expansion pack going pack to the routes of origins when it comes to locations, otherwise i probably won't bother since it means playing through the whole thing again.
I'll get the Ultimate Edition this time around, learnt my lesson with the DA:O DLCs thank you very much.
I enjoyed Dragon Age 2, yes there were problems, but that hasn't stopped me running through the game about 3 or 4 times now. I'll try the DLC (hopefully it will be an expansion like Awakening was) but I'll read reviews before I buy, just to make sure.
Also, I can't see the 'similarities' between Fenris and Cloud. I've read what people have said (similar hairstyles, body shape etc) but I still can't see them. That might be my hatred for FFVII though (I hated that game when I played it) but I doubt it.
To those saying Merril was cute...I don't like her XD I find her annoying. In every game I've played of DA2, I've always rivalled her, if purposely or accidentally.
Now the new darkspawn, I CAN see the similarities there...not a LotR fan but still XD I wouldn't have known it was a rip-off if I had no seen it here.
Also, in the club with those saying more 'tactical' fighting is NOT needed. I play on the console (since my PC can't play it...or anything for that matter XD ). The last thing I want is to try and be more tactical when I can't use strategy to save my hide, nor can a console be as effective as a PC (we never got the fancy overhead thing, doubt we would now either) XD I play though on the easiest setting so I can ENJOY the game instead of pulling my hair out.

So many things wrong with DA2 lets see if they can fix the following that can still be fixed
Combat: Its supposed to be fast combat, which is made completely pointless by having respawning waves of enemies that come in from all directions. This makes it pointless because not only does it remove any tactical postioning possible, but it bogs down combat which is designed to be fast and over quickly. Its even worse on harder difficulty settings, where instead of having smart AI, they just ramped the damage and health up to 9000, slowing it down further.
Decisions: Not one, not even bloody one decision had any consequences. Take away Merills knife to fix the mirror, guess what? She fixes it anyway!
Decide not to take your sibling with you to the Deep Roads? Doesn't matter they go away regardless
Pick Mages over Templar? Mages still attack you regardless of your choice, with any blood mages being evil, cackling morons. Not one of them had any humanity like Jowan did in Origins or other blood mages which could be reasonable.
Just the main ones there, which I doubt they will ever address, ever fix or recognise. Especially after their comments about criticism towards the game, its all 4chan indeed.
If you want to pay them 10 dollars so you can get DLC which should be free and proably won't fix the original game at all, then well done, you've given money to incompetents and told them to keep making shit

Da2 was a bitter disappointment for me (and not for the usual stereotypical reasons, i'm a forgiving player when it comes to technical aspects, it's the games plot and narrative that I felt was a complete letdown) and don't see how this DLC will change anything for me beyond shedding light on hawke's origins.
Rumors that they would be adding complete acts/years in kirkwall might have appealed to me (10 years in kirkwall...in 3 acts, first of which barely even counts and would have qualified as starter quests in previous bioware games, 2nd is the meat of the game and where I got 80% of my enjoyment and 3rd...omg did it make me rage, lets leave it at that) but it was wishful thinking that they could add such meaningful content.
Enemies that clone themselves usually equates to tedium in my book and with that, the main arguments for getting this dlc is neutered. Keeping my $/£.
I place my faith in the mass effect series.

Oh dear, DAO was one of my favourite games..... and DA2 I hate with a passion. This DLC sounds totally crap, like who on earth CARES about her father? can't Bioware make up a good plot?
Well, at least Hawke can go out of Kirkwell. This and the hint that there is something more major (more than DA2 had at least) about Greywardens sounds like the only good thing about this DLC.
Nah seriously, agree with you guys totally there, DA2 is too awful to have a mere DLC to change it's disastrous mistakes completely.

Can't you tell the darkspawn is a wolf? xDSoviet Heavy said:That... that's just sad. I thought that Darkspawn were mutated from other species? What in the hell is that supposed to be mutated from?Kahunaburger said:Well, Bioware has apparently decided they are done designing their own monsters haha:this isnt my name said:
Screenshot from Legacy:
I have no idea what went so horribly, horribly wrong (in terms of writing, gameplay, you name it) between DA:O and DA2, but I doubt this DLC will change anything.
Hurlock=Human
Genlock=Dwarf
Shriek=Elf
Ogre=Qunari
Lord of the Rings Troll=Lord of the Rings Troll.

Gee as long as something awesome happens every time I press a button it should be just as good as DA2 was. By "just as good" of course I mean a steaming pile of cow shit covered in vomit. Both Bioware and DA2 can go get buggered. Unless this DLC includes a hand written apology and videos of every damn person who worked on the game being fired in a public setting then they can keep their DLC and find a dark smelly orifice to cram it into sideways thank you very much.
Why does there always have to be a dark unsettling secret to everyone's history; is it that hard for a person to have a NORMAL up-bringing and family history (Apart from the nobility, of course)?
There was a reason why I liked man-chin woman more as a romantic interest and that was because she was NORMAL (Ignoring the whole dead husband thing; she only mentioned it once or twice after the tutorial). Bah, dark secrets, dark secrets everywhere.

Does it seem kinda weird that the warden's have a prison? I mean they recruit people who commit terrible crimes often enough. Nor do they seem to care about enforcing any sort of laws other than 'Kill all the Darkspawn' so why the hell do they have a prison? This feels some way to Shoe horn Hawke into the real meat of the dragon age setting, which is the Grey Wardens.
If this was in the Bioware forums, this thread would've got Stanely Woo'd
Wait the reviews, or 'til the Ultimate Edition comes out and then buy it cheap.

The biggest flaw I saw in DA2 was that the combat was painfully repetitive. (Every encounter, minus the boss fights, was the same, with several enemies being present and more spawning in waves throughout the fight.) Doesn't look like that's changed with this DLC. In fact, it kinda looks like their expanding on it... Oh well. I'll just get back to looking forward to ME3 now.
Depends on the button, really. When you press the "uninstall" button something pretty awesome happens.Xanthious said:
This would totally be mine but I already made a commitment to Catherine. Looks like I'll be buying it later.
