I love the lore, characters, and gameplay, abd the element of choice in both is up there with the likes of Mass Effect. (Then again, they're both from BioWare, so I shouldn't be surprised.) Is anyone else here a fan of the franchise? I can say with absolute confidence that I am. As we speak I'm scouring the internet, looking for any bits of information regarding the next game that I can.

It was different...which intrigued me. Edited by Arem, Apr 1 2013, 03:06 AM.

I can't say the same for the first game given that I've yet to play it, but the second game is loaded with it. Really, the entire series is truly an RPG for adults, partly for some of the sexual content, but mostly for the complexity of the story. Besides, Geralt is an amazing character that has the right kind of amnesia. Switching gears back to Dragon Age, I'm with Arem. The second game's story is a lot more political and personal, which I love. Like I said, the characters in DA2 are incredibly well done - well, aside from Fenris. I didn't care much for him, and that fucker abandoned me at the end. I personally prefer Anders, Isabela, and Varric.

Also, is it just me, or does BioWare have no idea how to properly handle the warrior class? Even with decent weapons and a ton of physical damage boosts from my gear, plus the passive from Reaver, I still couldn't pump out the numbers that Isabela or Varric could.

I personally use the two-handed since it feels more useful than it did in the first time LOL. Personally, I focused more on knocking the enemies off their feet so my other teammates could deal more damage. Ah, Isabela. Keeping her on the team can be a royal bitch.
