Different games, different subgenres, different release timeframes.

You make a good point, the dragons in DA can be frikkin tough, especially if you dont know what you're doing.. and the first time you meet one you're probably going to die... In Skyrim however im seeing a Dragon probably once every hour or two, and i can kill them in about 4-5 hits with my bow, without taking damage.. considering dragons are supposed to be a world ending threat, i think DA actually did a better job with its dragons, so given that the OP is comparing DA to Skyrim pretty much on the inclusion of dragons, i'd actually say DA wins.otakon17 said:You should change your title a little, add "2" after Dragon Age. Nearly EVERYONE feels that Dragon Age 2 was an inferior game to the original. Especially me since I paid for ANOTHER Archer and didn't even get the achievements for using him OR enjoy his personality/story whatsoever.
OT: Dragon Age is just a name, dragons are pretty rare in that world and they are tough to kill. I'm thankful we didn't have to fight them more than a half-dozen times at most, they were some of the hardest battles the first time through.
Concise and to the point.jacobythehedgehog said:I like Skyrim more then Dragon Age Origins and 2, but thats my opinion.
Totally agree with the Dragon sentiment. Ancient dragons in Skyrim tend to toughen things up a bit, but each dragon in DA was a boss fight unto itself, and I wouldn't expect any different. They are dragons, after all.Ilikemilkshake said:You make a good point, the dragons in DA can be frikkin tough, especially if you dont know what you're doing.. and the first time you meet one you're probably going to die...

I love you. you won the thread.RagTagBand said:Oh look, it's this thread again x2
1 x "Herp derp, I hayte Dragun Age 2!"
1 x "Herf, Skyrim is da bestest game evar"
Nobody gives a shit, least of all Bioware or Bethesda, about your fanboy rhetoric. I mean, what exactly was your purpose in posting this thread other than to garner a few pages of "OH YEAH MAN I TOTUALLY AGREE!!1! SKYRIM IZ BETTER DAN DRAGON AGE 2"? Two worlds 2 released this year as well, as did The Witcher 2, How about picking a comparison that isn't so blatantly one sided and chosen for nothing more than easy fanboy points?
Better yet, choose a topic that has even the smallest amount of discussion value, that isn't just nerd-dick waving about which Medieval Fantasy based RPG you like pretending you're part of the most.

I pulled it off without Wynne, but I needed to use Shale as a tank thanks to her regen.Jennacide said:Fix the misleading title already. Of COURSE Skyrim blows DA2 out of the water, that's not fucking hard. As to being better than DAO, it is, but doesn't put it to shame by any means. Skyrim is great, but DAO was too. Primarily just beats it in flexibility, one of the few failings of DAO, where trying to play with anything but a strict team build bordered on suicide. (Without mods, did ANYONE have a team without Wynne if they weren't a healer themself?)
Yeah, you don't know unless you pay attention to their really niche PR and interviews, but the higher-ups in Bioware are really narrow-minded, condescending jerks. In answer to your question, though, the way I hear it is that Gaider and his posse were friends with the guys who headed up Baldur's Gate and that's how they got put in charge. Only way I could imagine it, anyway.Soviet Heavy said:Oh my god that is the funniest thing I've read for a while. There's stuff in there about Bioware I hadn't heard before. Sweet Jesus you work in the games industry but you hate playing games!?
