Dragon age=pause pause loadscreen loadscreen save save cutscenes cutscenes npc's voice conversations npc's voice conversations.
Atual playing is limited you mainly looks at eather cutscenes or freeze screen load or pause.
Dragon age is party game with many extremely small maps/areas and you play by pause game alot and give commands to your party memebers.
If you like to play like that then DAO is for you.
If you realy wanne play a rpg and build up your character by exploring doing quests find artifacts roam world but play constantly with your character and not constantly in a pause/loadscreen then D2 ED is for you:)
While divinity is more in style of oblivion.
hm.....im gonna have to disagree with you there. there is alot of combat in dragon age origins. the difference between this game and dragon age though is that for dragon age your'll have a period of not fighting and just talking to people(your compaions, people to advance quests) then yourll go for long periods of just straight up fighting. in this game its just a bunch of fighting(not saying its wrong or anything) then like a quick second of talking then back to the action. that is fine and all but that kind of set up is pretty simple and gets boring fast.
to me the maps in dragon age range from small to fairly large but all in all i think the total area you'll explore in dragon age is much larger than the area you'll explore in this game. i was surprised to see how in this game you have one big area to explore(as the story progresses you get more) although that leads to little variation in the places you visit. there is alto of exploring in this game. in dragon age you'll be in a forest and a ruined temples, you'll go on plains and in a city deep underground, tunnels deep deep underground and in a giant tower and in various towns(depending if you got the dlc). while in this game you'll be on a canyon then a island then another canyon(yet this one is filled with water to a certain point). im gonna have to say dragon ages system was a tad bit better than this ones in the map department although it would be EPIC if this game's sequel(as i hope there will be one) could do a little of what dragon age and not only have these big maps but also diversify where you visit a little and make the environments more...exotic.
when i played dragon age i hardly paused the map except on very epic fights but i just think that adds to the tactical ness. you can't just charge in and waste everyone. although like i said before i enjoyed divinity 2's combat system far more than i did dragon age.
did and also i don't know what kind of computer you have(probably crappy) but the load times for me in dragon age are just as short as they are in this game.
well hold up dude. the amount of rpg elements in dragon age are way more than the ones in this game. theres more customizations and way more different ways to build your character and play(the mage class ALONE has more skills to pick than all of this games classes combined and its diversity is much more). oh and im gonna have to say dragon age lasted far longer than this game.
