Dragon age 2 is one of the best games so of 2011, it has a great story, great characters and an improved combat system however it does have some issues like recycling levels far too often. The skills system has seen a vast improvement with more skills to choose from and each allies has a unique skillset.

The successor of Dragon age:origins is here,unfortunately with many flaws.Even though i don't like the term it applies 100% here,the game is consolised,simplified to a bad degree. You start out low,a refugee who has just escaped from The Lothering as it gets destroyed by the darkspawn. The game maintains the classic "from zero to hero" rpg-feeling cause by the end of the game you own a mansion and are the champion of the city.Your choices affect the world around you.The story is unfolded through the narrative of varric,one of your party members as he is questioned by a chantry inquisitor. The characters vary from interesting,like varric with many funny one-liners,to downright annoying like fenris whose only job is to complain about mages in every single sentence. Gameplay is the"blight" of the game.In their effort to make it more fast paced and less complex they created a bad rpg-action hybrid.For example you have unlimited bombs,enemies that appear from nowhere(destroying any hope for strategic combat).The only good things are same animations,like backstab and the insane amount of blood.There is also a bad difficulty curve.At normal its a peace of cake,in hard its just medium but in nightmare its cheap and not even worth playing. Most of the quests are simple fetch quests or go there kill that.Its easy to notice the downgrading of the quest system just by the fact that no stat affects the dialogue,its just the classic good bad choice with a middle"smartass" one thrown in. Its an ok game to pass your time but in now way does it live up to the dragon age name.
