I'm sorry if you like it Demonic but I hate the game & EA, I found it to be dull annoying & the story was rubbish. The stupid lvl cap that you could hit really quick was annoying at best the fact that unless you played as an archer there was no way to beat the last boss without the aid of the mounted defences. I'm sorry but when a game that gives you multi choice for your class turns round & says at the end what we did't tell you is that the only one that stands a chance without the balisats in the archer then I get p***ed off. I hated Dragon Age, I forced myself to complete it because I promised my mate I'd give it a chance if he played final fantasy. I'm sorry but for a company with so many resorces at there dispsal, that game in my opinion was an EPIC FAIL. It did'nt seem to matter what you did on the game you'd take 1 step forward & 2 steps back. No matter how much work you put into your character you could never gat ahead. You'd spend hours lvling up for nothing in that game & the fact that all you had to do was press a button & the computer ended up battling for you just pi**** me off even more. What was the point of making a battle system were you could pick your target's like on ED/DKS if your just going to have to sit back & let the omputer fight for you while telling them to heal every now & again.
That was my 1 biggest complaint about DA was the battle system, I'm the type of gamer that when I play an RPG or an action game I become the characer for as long as that game is in my console/PC. With DA the fact that I was'nt in 100% controle of my character made me feel like I was'nt really needed. The fact the battle system made me feel vertually usless stoped me from identifying with my character. The feel of the game was all wrong to me, the characters did'nt feel alive to me, it felt to me like they were just thrown together to make money. There was'nt any heart in it & the whole loading screen between areas with random encounters inbetween did'nt do anything to make me think otherwise. When I play ED & DKS I am my dragon knight what she go's through I go through not with DA it was more I feel for you but I don't really get it because I have'nt expirienced it. A Amazing RPG is'nt just a story in a game it's an expirience but DA is just a game to me but DKS on the other hand NOW THAT is an expirience.
I was more than expecting someone to post about this, but I'm sick of hearing people going Dragon Age this & that & then those same people trying to say why you playing Divinity when you could play dragon age. Those people p*** me off & when you ask them have you even played Divinity they say no, it's always the way the DA fans curse DKS & ED without even playing it. Well i'm cursing DA & I HAVE played it & I hate it it's that simple. I made the thread on one of the day's that I'd had enough of hearing idiots on the xbox cursing Divinity & trying to tell me to play that pile of C***. I'm sorry if you like the game Demonic but I'm sick of hearing people telling me why you wasting your time on Diviity it's a wanabe DA. All I have to say is I LOVE Divinity & I'll be happy to play it till I'm in my grave & even beyond lol. The way I see it is if a**holes want to say stuff like that to me then I say this. You say I'm wasting my time well I think you waste yours on DA. As far as I'm concerned DA is'nt worth the time it takes to take it out of the case let alone the time it takes to play through the s*** so eat that you arrgogant a** holes.
LOL, calm down. No one here is making those statements and I've never seen these statements on the Bioware forum where I've seen several users having the Divinity 2 logo in their signatures. A thread for Dragon Commander was even made on there.
As for Dragon Age's combat, it takes after D&D's combat which is which you click and your characters go to fight. DA was one step ahead however because you had many abilities to activate whereas in D&D games, abilities (especially as melee classes) were lacking. In DA, if I want to knock an opponent over, I can. If I want to stun him while he's on the floor, I can and if I want to knock him over when he gets back up, I can do that too. I don't know what difficulty you played on but it sounds like you needed to use tactics and strategies which Origins was all about on harder difficulties. You would also need to use your abilities effectively and learn the weaknesses of enemies. The level cap was actually LV 25 and I doubt you reached it. It's possible to progress past LV 20 and to reach LV 25 would either require a solo play through the entire game + DLC.
Once you reach LV 10, you should have a fair amount of abilities to use and thus not all of the combat is simply "click to attack that enemy and watch" because you had to use abilities. If you found the game hard, it's probably because you didn't use abilities then?
The end fight wasn't the greatest but I don't know about others but I fought the archdemon via melee for half the fight and then finished it off in melee. You only had to have one companion using the balistas you know...
