Dragon Age II first testings

When I finished Dragon Age Origins I had strong feeling that I wanted to begin new adventures by playing second part from that saga. So I bought the game and downloaded wanting to play through more adventures. First impression from Dragon  Age II was that I need to learn a bit different style when fighting.

The story begins with your own family.

My first character was mage.

When it was about to time to choose the character I was a bit disappointed. I was only able to play human. Elf or dwarf wasn't option this time at all. But at least I was warned before by my friends about that. Good thing was that you were still able to pick different role so everyone were not meant to be fighters. When the actual story began I was lightly disappointed. yes I had to drag a family with me and any of them didn't seem to like me. At least there were mourning and adoring everyone else except thet main character so didn't feel very nice trying to help them. Maybe I find out reasons for this kind of behaviour when I play game further.

I like the maps in game.

You can gather companions but gaining their friendship isn't that easy.

Now I have played game few hours and even it is rather straightforward the atmosphere has been good so far. Discussions have been interesting to listen and companions what you will be finding to your side are more than pretty face. Thei past haunts them and you need to deal with them carefully. It is also clear that when you make choices you can't please everyone in the group so some are more rivalrous for you than others unless you pick your party very carefully each time.

So far game looks very pretty also.

On the next posting baout Dragon Age II I will be writing more about the skills and abilities. And more about the areas what you can find in game.

The Dragon Age Origins, Final blow

I had a long break from playing games.. Thanks for the decent work with coming live action role game where I am one of the dm's. Even the game is still coming after couple of weeks, I finally had few hours time to play. And I believe I used that time well, since I finished Dragon Age Origins. Which means I can finally start to play two other games from that saga what I do own.

Still fighting against demons

discussion with Anora

I noticed in the end that there were sidequests what I had not finished. But when was doing final battles, I just thought who cares. I have played my own path and decisions what I made with my char lead me towards this end. Okay I admit, I peak some forward information about the possible endings since I didn't  want long playing ending miserably. Call me emotional but I preferred to stay alive even I was playing a female warden so I  had to be cunning. So I made few  choices so that all the companions stayed alive and I got someone to stand on by my side.

Sometimes you need to show some bravery by killing persons who are  third times as large than what you're.

He can be many things but I also chose him to be my lover.

Why I arrenged a nice ending for myself? Well.. Since I knew there are more Dragon Age games for me to play. If everything goes bad for my characters I rarely want to return to that game again. Or try to play second parts. But I won't tell about those possible endings if there is still someone who hasn't played the Dragon Age Origins through. And if you haven't, you should!

I chose to be with Zevran and live freely travelling around the world. Does that sound nice? To me it does and now I am actually curious to try Dragon Age II even I do know that I won't play same characters there. But story of the world simply is so tempting that I want to hear more of it. Luckily I do own the game allready so I do not have to do anything but begin to play!
