...and why does Kirkwall have spikes on everything?
Kirkwall was certainly a mood. Dragon Age II is still my favorite Dragon Age, even with all the reused assets and rushed battles. The combat was also mindless, yet still less mindless than Inquisition I think. But it did a lot of interesting things with the story and the characters. Kirkwall might be one of the most realized urban settings we've gotten in modern RPGs.
…But they have jagged spikes instead of hand rails?
But otherwise I totally agree actually.
I think that having a game set over a long period of time about one person as they build up their prominence in one location was truly inspired and a breath of fresh air in RPG narrative.
And I don’t usually care much for BioWare campions at all. I fact, as much as I can I usually sabotage them or outright kill them (BioWare games are the only ones where I’m often playing just pure Chaotic Evil because I think most of the moral choices they give you are dumb). But Fenris? He was it. He was my best friend, my pal, my homeboy, my rotten soldier, my sweet cheese, my good time boy. I freaken love that toxic, drunken elf.
This makes me want to replay that game so much. Maybe there is a mod that just removes enemy waves?
