Dragon Age 2 Without Context

I'm releasing the Fenris cut (he's still barely in it)

[@RebelNutts-gg1xf]

I had to fight him in my first playthrough and also got them elf hums.

[@WolfyFancyLads]

Fun fact: Stabbing the Keeper saved you a second fight. If you don't say "Aren't you supposed to be dead?" then Merrill gets stabbed and you have to fight the demon again (Merrill lives, she just starts the fight wounded). Also, Zevran is the elf from the first game. Pity he died, he's actually kinda fun (and can appear as an NPC in the final boss fight to help you kill Meredith).

[@Dat_Guys_Wise]

Rewatched your Dragon Age 2 video just yesterday. Super happy for more! Any chance you’ll play Dragon Age 3? Wouldn’t blame you if you don’t.

[@PongsifuToo]

Haven't decided

[@Burned-Legate]

@@PongsifuToo It's a weird game. Way too much wandering around doing fetch quests, and the main story is pretty forgettable. Yet good characters and nice environments, and the Trespasser DLC is definitely a high-point of the series.

[@studentt6064]

@@Burned-Legate I don't necessarily mind bad combat systems in rpgs, but inquisition's is just so extremely boring I had to put it down. It's a weird blend of action/tactical that ends up being bad in both aspects.

[@luisfilipimartinstrescastr3720]

You played the second, you're fine if you play inquisition, it's only fault is that it get a bit boring with all the travel and war table missions, but more than make it up with a strong line up of companions and player choice, and it brings back a ton of characters from prior games. Also all the judge tasks you are given would be a nice insight to your views for us the viewers to ponder over.

[@BrainerVideos]

@@luisfilipimartinstrescastr3720 And massacres most of them. Varric of all people is dull as all hell, and the cheap drama they resort to instead of making characters actually appealing is mind-numbing. Cassandra looks unrecognizable and is reduced to such an insufferable meathead that even the gachimuchi incarnate that is Iron Bull is less grating to have around. Everyone except Blackwall (who's mostly just boring) being oh-so-super-special and quirky is pretty much a microcosm and a herald of the usual Western writing pitfalls seen everywhere today. I still remember the forum wars between fangirls regarding Cole and whether or not he's, erm, legal. As for the plot and player choice, avoiding spoilers, what they've done with the Grey Wardens and the main plot in general are probably the worst writing in the trilogy by a wide margin. There is a literal moustache-twirling Disney villain who is so obviously evil but his betrayal is reacted to with a surprise - it's that awful. While the gameplay is Ubislop with extremely dumbed-down mechanics, even more so than with 1->2 . Combat boils down to finding which abilities are overpowered and just spamming them and which to never use. Hint - 4 mages obliterate everything in their path, if you can stomach having both Dorian AND Vivienne on your team. Solas was alright, sometimes cool even, but . Everyone talks crap about Andromeda, but Inquisition is just as bad, if not worse in many aspects. Andromeda at least had half-decent combat.

[@CrashOzzy1223]

22:46 he alone isn’t dlc but he becomes a companion in act 2 if you own the dlc The Exiled Prince or something like that.

[@daedaluscaedis5947]

That bit at 37 is confirmed.

[@RecoveringLoLAddict]

Judging by how Fenris never shows up in future games, I'm convinced turning him over to the slavers is a canon event.

[@demotivatedsolas3697]

they made comic "dark fortress" that tells fenris story after dragon age 2, hawke didn't give him back to slavers

[@andrews.5212]

According to kirkwall city guard 13% of bloodmages are responsible for 52% of blood crimes xD

[@FringeWizard2]

Don't you mean 13% of the population consists of blood mages but they are responsible for over 50% of the violent crime?

[@aca347]

When the Circle sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing demons. They’re bringing blood magic. They’re murderers. And some, I assume, are good people.

[@JJJBunney001]

Somehow you made that even funnier, especially comsidering how many "blood crimes" there were in this game

[@BulldogFromHell]

Those are the stats from 2012. The current statistics are actually that 6% of bloodmages are responsible for almost 70% of crimes, because stats from the Kirkwall City Guard shows that it's mostly the male bloodmages committing them.

[@Maven-mage]

Only 13%? Must be a slow week in kirkwall

[@LAZERAK47V2]

The whole reason everyone wants you to kill Kelder is because the whole plot of that quest is that he's a serial killer who's avoided justice because his father's a city magistrate. Sarcastic Hawke even makes a comment about how "The Magistrate is more interested in *keeping* his job than *doing* it" (boy, does THAT quote have real world applications). Coupled with the fact that he only targets elves (who are considered second-class citizens and often NEVER see justice) means that no matter how many times he kills, he'll never be held responsible for his crimes. They don't want you to kill him because he's crazy (though that doesn't help his case), they want you to kill him because letting him live ensures more children will die. While leaving him to the courts is a noble idea, the reality is a different story. Basically, it's the whole "why doesn't Batman kill the Joker, because he'll just escape again and keep killing".

[@studentt6064]

@@allaireko He also was in a dead body without any other soul vying for control, which I guess is quite different from when he merged with Anders. I don't think Anders' character being a bit different is weird, it's obvious that Anders always hated the chantry system in awakening as well, but was always looking out for himself without time to really care for other mages' fate. With justice fused, his hatred of the system also instilled some need of vengeance on the chantry for the injustices against others.

[@Nexidal]

@@studentt6064 I just don't buy either of them, as they were in Awakening, being willing to be bound to one another like that. I think they needed a character to fill the role for the story they'd written, and their characters were repurposed accordingly.

[@k3salieri]

Can say that about the entire franchise.

[@Burned-Legate]

Anders is such a silly-billy character. Like, "poor mages" then he's a walking example of why mages are dangerous.

[@TempestLM]

>Poor mages >Creates a terrorist attack to provoke templars into killing all his fellow mages

[@Davidofthelost]

Really. The guy goes taliban on a Chantry when the Grand Cleric in charge of it was trying to keep the peace between Mages and Templars. Yet he decided that she should just side with mages so killed her and everyone else inside the Chantry. Not to mention the debris that would fall from the sky and kill others as a result along with the shockwave of the explosion no doubt destroyed all of hightown. More than likely killing Bodan and Sandle.

[@vanillaseahorse4228]

@@Davidofthelost I mean, ideally peace between them would be kept, but her not doing anything was contributing to more people being made tranquil or dying while she waited for Meredith and Orsino to sort things out. Anders didn’t really make things worse because Meredith and Orsino were never going to work things out, he just ripped the bandaid off instead of letting the can be further kicked down the road imo. Not saying what he did was right because a lot of innocent people died (Vivienne in DAI said the deaths were in the hundreds), but there was never going to be a peaceful resolution to the issue even if Anders just sat at home and did nothing.

[@i.cs.z]

Only mages can use bombs, well known fact.

[@hayleybartek8643]

@@TempestLM The templars are 100% responsible for who they decided to kill in a rage, especially when the guy who did the deed immediately confessed to having done it. Meredith literally looked at the guilty man and went "He's your problem, Hawke. I'm killing the rest of them."

[@sorryshiina6264]

The Isabela or Merrill predicament will always be a fun pastime. Isabela is very obvious with her intentions. Both in the Fade and when she re-steals the Qunari relic she's upfront about why she's stabbing you in the back. All she wants is a ship and the Qunari off her arse so when the Desire Demon offers her the thing she wants, the betrayal is expected. Whereas Merrill sucks up to you at every opportunity expressing her undying loyalty while simultaneously never fucking listening to anyone's advice about the mirror, blood magic or demons. I love the gangly little elf lady as much as the next guy but trusting literally every 'spirit' we come across? I get that she's adorkable but there's a 50/50 chance you wake up next to a pride demon after romancing her.

[@RebelNutts-gg1xf]

Yea and most likely get a std from her giant neat.
