[quote name='solohunter']is this deal on DAII good enough for me to finally install origin?
i liked the original DA quite a bit, although i did get somewhat annoyed with the micromanagement and inventory management involved. that is, i like it when rpgs are more streamlined ("dumbed-down," according to some people). i loved mass effect 2 a lot more than 1.[/QUOTE]
ok man here's the lowdown. i just got it as well and about 3 hours in and this games kicks the shit out of the original. i was fully expecting a let down but in terms of the PC version of DAII, everything seems fine to me. combat flows better, a bit dynasty warrior like on normal difficult so i bumped it to hard and it's really well paced thus far. characters are more enjoyable, and the production values are noticeably higher.
overall just really taken aback at how much better this is so far, and i'm hard to please. maybe the console versions are worse as i couldnt imagine playing them with a pad.
I'd say it's worth a shot at $8. Female Hawke is hot if anything.
