Aye, let’s agree to respect each other’s opinion. No matter how wrong yours might be.
(joking of course, I actually like 2 a lot despite how clearly unfinished and rushed it was, although I really really disliked 3 except for the romances and the character interactions)
Wasn’t it dragon age 2 where the level design got super repetitive though? It felt like they kept reusing the same exact level design in ways that didn’t really make sense.
Yes, 2 had a lot of re-used locations. Some of them did make sense, as the story was almost entirely set within a single city, so certain locations are bound to pop up multiple times, especially as the game takes place over a decade or so.
But the real reason, 2 was developed and rushed out the door in like a year or something? It was a ridiculously short amount of time to develop a sequel to a game as big as DA:O. Unsurprisingly, this led to a LOT of re used assets and locations.
But though it obviously had failings, I, like some others, would probably put DA2 as the high point for the series telling really character driven stories with the most compelling cast of characters.
I’ve heard that, and it’s reasonable however I found the level design in the first one could be a little repetitive as well so I thought some of the criticism was somewhat unwarranted.
I disagree. I preferred 2 and 3 to 1. Obviously YMMV and that’s fine

I liked Varic in 2 but that’s about it. The asset recycling was absolutely mad.
my soul brother.
Really what did you prefer, character, worldbuilding, level design, graphics? I’m genuinely curious. I personally loved Varic in the later games.
Yeah I love the second one also. Liked the characters better, I like the contained story, combat was more fun I thought, Etc…

Yep Varic was the sole redeeming quality of a bad game.
