Both publishers had stodgy systems that sought to entrench players deeper into their respective ecosystems - EA's was a pointless currency for Bioware RPGs, Ubisoft's was an online-based DRM and server infrastructure. But instead of doing something bonkers like making that DLC no longer available to play or download (*ahem* Ubisoft), EA has made all DLC - expansions and all - for those games free for everyone.įinally, finally I might get round to playing the unloved but apparently underrated Dragon Age 2 now that I have it with all the 'bits' (because if you can't play the game in 'Ser Isaac Armor' - a mediaeval twist on the Dead Space protagonist's outfit - why play it at all?). EA announced that as of October 1, it would be getting rid of the crappy Bioware Points currency that it used for players to buy DLC for games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins, and Dragon Age 2. It is a special game worth a try.I've spent more time than I would have like these past couple of weeks lambasting Ubisoft for their abandonment of online components in some of their games, then their revocation of access to single-player games (before having to amend that latter condemnation the following day after the sneaky sods amended the Steam page to say that in fact the game will still be accessible).Īfter that rollercoaster, it was nice to see another of the big publishers do something fan-friendly in response to shutting down one of its outmoded ecosystems. With its updated graphics and a new visual style, it presents a totally new RPG that outclasses more famous titles.ĭragon Age II also presents a new dialogue system and improved character development. It features a new narrative style, set over the course of a decade and overhauled combat mechanics that emphasize the uniqueness of each class. If you like your RPGs old-school with plenty of Tolkien and Dungeon Master mixed in with sword wielding warrior women and moody elves, then Dragon Age is for you. You will now be forced to fight for survival in an ever-changing world, you must gather the deadliest of allies, amass fame and fortune, and take your place in history.ĭragon Age II is an astoundingly good game. It is the second game in the Dragon Age series and has proven to be worth its name.Īs one of the few who escaped the destruction of your home, your fate is sealed.
Dragon Age II is an action role-playing video game developed by BioWare, and published by Electronic Arts.
