A Flawed Masterpiece & The Peak of the Trilogy Now that I have finished the main campaign, I can confidently say that this is BioWare at its peak. For me, Dragon Age II is the masterpiece of the trilogy. The story leans heavily on the politics of Kirkwall and the Free Marches, creating a narrative that feels personal and grounded. While the development was clearly rushed, the "meat" of the game, the story and gameplay is so good that it almost made me finish the whole thing in one sitting. The writing is absolutely beautiful. The companions are not just well-made; they actually feel deeply personal. Their banter is dynamic, they react to the choices you have made, and the closure each character gets better than what we got in Origins or Inquisition. The NPCs are great, and the world-building is superb; you can really feel how your actions affect the state of the world over the years. The combat is freaking satisfying. Aside from Origins and Inquisition, this game has the best combat loop in the franchise; it blows me away every time. While I have mixed feelings about the simplified equipment system (you can't change companion armor, only weapons/accessories), it makes party management much smoother, letting you focus on the action. My only major complaint, and I am not exaggerating here; is the repetition. The locations are literally the same. Every dungeon, map, encounter, and even the enemies are reused constantly. It is heartbreaking because you can see the potential that wasn't fully tested due to time constraints. However, do not let that stop you. If you are planning to skip this game, don't. It is a crucial setup for Inquisition, and you would be missing out on a surprisingly funny protagonist and a story that truly peaks. If this game had the visual variety of Inquisition to match its writing and combat, it would have been perfect.

I like having controversial opinions and one of them is that DA2 is actually the best game in the series

Dragon Age II is basically a 10-year reality TV show about one very lucky/unlucky refugee named Hawke, who accidentally becomes the most important person in the city of Kirkwall. It’s less of a save-the-world epic and more of a soap opera filled with mages, templars, and companions who are all aggressively charismatic. Seriously, the party banter alone is worth the price of admission. Isabela and Fenris will ruin your life and you will thank them for it.

Bioware's most flawed masterpiece. I have always been this entries biggest defender, even when the controversy of its release was at its most fresh. This game received a lot of derision at first release, but time heals wounds and as the series has strayed further and further from the template set by Origins, you can look at this game with eyes less clouded by that games shadow. The flaws still exist, but the core design of what make Origins so special still exists in this game, with arguably the best characters in the series. The combat system is a simplification of Origins by most measures, however of all the sequels it still manages to keep a lot of the core systems in place. You still have AI tactics, that allow a level of granularity that Inquisition lost a lot of. You still have full control of your party in a real time with pause system that Veilguard abandoned. The combat is a lot snappier than Origins, and that gives the false impression it is a more action oriented affair. In harder difficulties, you still need to approach encounters with a tactical eye... but that brings attention to DA II's biggest failing. The encounter design is bad, most encounters are a wave based affair. The battlefields will routinely drop in supplemental enemies to fight, so you can never make a good initial evaluation of the situation. This is compounded with reinforcements always covering pretty much all sides of the zone, so you can't plan ahead for logical routes they might take. You basically just have to plan to be surrounded again every time you wipe out a group. This unfortunately makes combat fatigue set in a lot more than it needs to. The game would have benefited by dropping the wave design and just beefing up individual enemies, that way combat still had a challenge but you could make better tactical decisions. The world design of the best in the series. Kirkwall is such a well developed city, with history and lore dispersed throughout and the artistic vision executed fantastically. The game looses some of the more realistic tones of Origins, but I think time has treated this games graphics so much better than Origins. Chasing realism only gives you short term qualities, an artstyle that accepts the limitations of what they were given with systems at the time can be appreciated long past the hardware cycles that may have been the determining factor for the style. This unfortunately brings us to the most infamous problem with DA II. The reusing of dungeon maps for multiple quests. This is definitely a noticeable issue, but outside of the first playthrough, I don't find this to be a big detriment. I have always found the wave based combat to be a bigger issue with the game, but the community as a whole decided the asset reuse was the bigger issue (Which led to the map bloat of DA I, which is a worse issue to me personally). Either you can accept it, or you can't. It is what it is, and I don't see a big reason to dwell on it. The story in this game sets up and continues so much of what Origins started, I think it makes a great sequel. The few changes and retcons, like the visual representation of the Qunari, pay off that I have no problems accepting them. The later sequels had a big problem with toning conflicts and darker elements way down, but this game revels in it. The ethical dilemmas of the various nations and organizations are not only fully in play still, they define the entire outline of the story. Tevinter isn't whitewashed into a free and noble nation like in DA V, the Crows are still pretty despicable assassins, and the city of Kirkwall was built on the framework of oppressive slave trade and the entire architecture of the city represents that. The history of the city leaves ripples that the party has to deal with 100s of years after the fact. Classism, racism, slavery, abuse, themes that even Inquisition started to shy away from are directly confronted in this game. This is the only other game after Origins that embraces these elements and makes interesting scenarios from them. The characters in this story are the biggest shining element. Of course, this is entirely subjective, but I have always found this entry to have the best party in the series. Unless you game the approval system, playing the story naturally will always have a team member opposing a bigger decision. There isn't a peaceful solution for the overall story. You can't be the perfect good guy. Now, there are fewer opportunities to be a comically bad guy like Origins, but if you accept that your character is more like a Mass Effect Shepard than a free form character like Origins, you still have a lot of play in how you shape the character and your decisions can have massive changes in how your character acts and how the team treats them. Your decisions are made in a very similar way to the Mass Effect 2 vague Good Sarcastic Drastic decision wheel, but in the confines of this series, this is a simplification of Origins but better than the following games. Your party members have a good depth and well developed personalities to reflect that. They kind of fall into the trap of being a little too quippy that has kind of been too played out at this point, everyone kind of has their own Alistair style comments, but outside of that each character leaves a distinct impression. Varric might be the best character in the series, but I might be biased. You could take most comments from the game, and instantly be able to recognize who said them even without context. I would maybe have like more interactions with each character, but that is because each character is so good I just want more of it. This game is so old at this point, so I doubt anyone will even see this review. Even knowing a review this long for a game largely left behind in time will probably never be read, I still felt compelled to right this after replaying it. Sadly my 360 died long ago, but the sale price of this game was stupid cheap, and the PC version is still pretty playable, even with the EA bloat. I was very happy to replay this game that I spent multiple playthroughs years ago/
