It's broken :S

(Opera Version 11.01 Build 1190 (newest))

But judging from the comments: it seems like not for all. I'll edit this if I get it to work.

EDIT: The high-quality Flash version seems to be the broken one. HTML 5 works.

I've yet to see anyone say they played the game with a Ebon Hawke... Am I going to be the first one then? Bagsy I came up with the idea first!!! Have to get the game and play as the Champion-ship of KOTORwall. Anyone get the reference?

Another great ZP Yathzee, humourous to the boot with the usual quota of crude jokes and analytical opinions that make it what it is always.

Heh you pretty much summed up my experience of games like Oblivion, Fallout 3 DA 1 and now this aswell.

Copy pasted and stretched out.

Good review overall. I wasn't really interested in DO2 in the first place, but this just makes me want to play it even less. Besides, I got enough unfinished games on my shelf collecting dust before I delve into another time parasite like this.

So it's another phoned in sequel eh? Of course I don't blame Bioware for this, I blame EA.
I still don't get the whole developer/publisher relationship though.

I like the game, Zero P only pointed out what was wrong with it, maybe it's supposed to be a trilogy or something, like with Half Life 2 it has no real beginning or end so it has to take up space and introduce a relevant plot to keep us appeased for the next game that comes out.

I just registered, that is to say, I just decided to stop hiding the fact that I watched all your videos about three times each, so what I found amusing is that the actual comment section is a thread in the forum. But anyway, before I get to my main point...

I'd love to also point out that your talking speed and huge variety of vocabulary improved my English skills by about 3 years of school teachings, so I have to thank you big time. Also my teachers fear me more, as my speaking speed also increased dramatically, but I take that as a little side effect which might wear off some time next year.

Now to the point of the review. I agree, as I have already seen tons of other reviews of DAII, that there are defenders of the complete contrast opinions on the game. As such I decided not to even consider looking at the game before someone I can trust can express his opinion. And now I have it, the opinion I was looking for.

Staying away from the game now shines as the sun on a hot summer day, and I shall avoid its burning rays by playing some Minecraft.

I'm just holding out for the third game which will pick up after Hawke has already retired and taken to running a bar, he can just tell stories about all the cool stuff he used to do. Without the flashbacks.

I just have to say, Yahtzee, since when does an RPG have to be about a hero saving the world?? For all the bitching and moaning about lack of change in the industry, and fantasy RPG's specifically, it seems like a nice change to have a game simply about a man (or woman) who does a few epic things to become rich and famous in a city.

Also... (laughing) You played it on console! Oh you poor bastard. After the shit combat that was DA:O, I made sure to get DA2 on PC. Combat is actually quite fun now!

Dragon Age: Gobbing off? Nah......that's too British. This game isn't based in Ferelden, AKA NOT England.

OT: The one word to describe Dragon Age 2, it seems, is "unnecessary". Bioware have their hands full now with ME3 and Old Republic, and they shouldn't have BOTHERED.

It's not like we would've committed mass suicide without Dragon Age for another year. Why not just release a fucking DLC to bridge gaps, like ME2 is doing?

You let Anders pitch? I mean, I know he gets the RAGE pretty bad, but you've gotta show that ***** who's boss!

Play Dragon Age 2 on the PC. Even with the weird console-friendly changes you still have better control over your characters. Perhaps you even wouldn't be confused about controlling a character with *GASP* a different skillset! Is this honestly a complaint? Have you never played party-based RPGs before?

To be honest: He does point out the several flaws in Dragon Age 2 that make the game look like a hastily made cash-in. Still... Yahtzee always manages it to include statements that seriously irritate me.
