The Guildmasters

Well i’ve received my copy of the new Dragon Age 2 and I must say it’s awesome.

I’m not going to say it’s better than the first one, at least not just yet as i’ve only been playing it for about 4 days, but it is pretty cool.

For the most part nothing has changed, the battle system is the same as before as are the upgrades and items, weapons and tactics are all the same, just tweaked a little which is how you want it really, no new stuff to try to get used to.

Totally different main story which is a refreshing change even though there are plenty of references and characters that pop up which you recognize or remember from the first.

The game is much quicker than the first one, fighting is extremely fast paced compared to the first.

As you progress through the game quests become more lengthy and harder which was a good thing for me as in the beginning I started to think it was a little too easy.

One thing to keep in mind, before you finish the last part of the main quest at any time make sure you finish everything else first, companions to visit (who can give you quests), sidequests and secondary quests. If you don’t, once you finish the main quest and move on to the next section the previous subquests will not be available.

I love the fact that you can upload your previous character from the first one although I haven’t tried this yet. I will do this on my second playthrough.

If you want to platinum this one be prepared for multiple playthroughs like the first one.

As mentioned in a much earlier post on the blog Dragon Age 2 is now upon us, releasing March 8th.

While browsing the playstation store I noticed one of the new demos was for Dragon Age 2, i’m sure it wasn’t there yesterday but I decided to download it anyway.

The demo is huge, it’s a massive 1804MB and for just a demo that is fairly large, even on my high speed it’s taking a couple of hours, a little disappointing but I can’t wait to try it out. I just have a good feeling about this game, and after playing the first Dragon Age, which was a very cool game, i’m convinced that this demo will only confirm that my purchase will be worth it.

It seems I still have another 10% to download and then it’s got to install but by tomorrow night I should be able to give a first hand review of the demo and also give some insight into some of the features, weapons, abilities etc…

Until tomorrow then, good gaming.
