For the first time, I played D.A 2 as a warrior. It was boring to knock down enemies and it took time. Instead I really liked armors along the way. They are not so many types but they are still cool to wear. I decided to skip my saved games from origins because there was not much relevance between these two games. For the second time I played this game, I played as a mage and try to adopt a different approach. It was much better with being a mage in battles. For the third time, I played D.A 2 as a rough and it was fun. I imported my saved game into the game but didn't see any use of it and that was bad.

To starting Dragon age 2 it's better to forget dragon age: origins and take it as a new entry. For the most important thing, we don't fight against blight in this game. There are dark spawn at the beginning of the game and sometimes inside game but they are just there, nothing so special about them. The blight mention in the game but we don't see any clear relevance. We have all new party members and new characters to play. There is no choice for choosing our race but we still have a chance to pick a class. There are much better details in everything. Graphics improves much better and we can see things clearly. But there is something missing in there, some mystery, some feeling of ancient ruins and beasts and things we saw in D.A origins. There are some familiar faces from the past game like Alistair and Zhervan. But we are now in a whole new realm, Kirkwall, as a refugee flees from her hometown Lothering with her family. It's a new story with new adventures .The main plot is not much involving, It ends when you hope more out of it. There is a path to become the most powerful person in Kirkwall. Sometimes there are hard decisions to be made and sometimes it is hard to judge what is right or wrong and that is exciting. It is now easier to control our party members and give order to each of them to perform. So fighting in this game is enjoyable now with fast pace. There are cool armors but other party members could not use them and that's not good. There are so many side quest and various characters to meet. I think the key element of D.A.O was its strong story but now we don't have much compelling story to follow. It is clear that this game will be continued and this is a kind of unfinished story. But as a game for itself it lacks good story and character development. I'm so eager to see what will come in the next game and I'm sure events will be back in Frelden again to discover more adventure. In the whole this game is a good game with good adventures but still not what I was expected and waited for a long time.
