I really hope they dump the MMORPGish "class specific role" crap RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 08/07/2010 08:25:05 PM
I think the most boring part of DA:O was how obvious they made their desire to have every character class fit into a pre-determined role. For example, there were clearly "tank" type builds and "d.p.s." (damage per second) builds, with the mechanics specifically defining who was good at what. I'm not asking to be a Spartan warrior one moment, a juggernaut in platemail (the Mountain That Rides) in another and then finally a mystic channeling the elements to pull apart the threads of reality, but I would like more control over my characters background. Why not have a mage from a noble background who became a apostate in the Wilds?

Origins was a great game, don't get me wrong, but I'm hoping that they are able to make Part 2 seem like more than a rehash of "Lord of the Rings".

I hope it DOES look different from the first. I loved the game, but it WAS fairly ugly. - 08/07/2010 05:31:03 PM 816 Views
Agreed; it reminded me a lot of WoW, actually. - 08/07/2010 06:28:36 PM 757 Views
Were you playing the console version? - 08/07/2010 09:37:58 PM 744 Views

So... do you continue with the Gray Warden character, or not? - 08/07/2010 05:32:46 PM 745 Views

That was sort of the point... - 08/07/2010 09:07:08 PM 771 Views
I agree. - 09/07/2010 02:13:46 AM 773 Views
I think they could - mainly because 'Fallout 2' did it so brilliantly. - 14/07/2010 01:28:50 PM 1257 Views
