Dragon Age: Warden's Fall 

+Emnuzuse Alor True story.

Yea but you saw how the warden stopped him from saving someone at the beginning let's call this payback

If you want to be nit picky about it they aren’t actually dead when they go down in combat, they’re unconscious, otherwise they wouldn’t miraculously stand up after the fighting is over without healing. Lore wise I don’t believe healing can return a departed spirit to its body

@@DeSanto127 Leliana as example is a spirit in inquisition. “I awoke later in agony. The ashes were gone. I can’t explain how I survived" The ashes is able to save someone at death's door. Questions still remain if not demons are able to possess the body by the resurrection. At an alternative future Leliana fought like a demon. Her past as an assassin makes her no angel and she was sent back from hell

...I think he would have been able to. It's just that he's implied to be taking shade on 2:12 in a grossly petty manner.

and now we have inq"ass"tion were everything is shiny for reals tho what is sad about DAI is that it has a fan base some even didnt play origins or hated it because of graphics

Yeah man inquisition is pretty boring and underwhelming at times

I loved Inquisition, but it definitely doesn't feel like the same series as Origins.

@@voidofastora6032 it's not just inquisition. Every new games have lost the qualities that made the classics so much epic. But talking about the artstyle and presentation of this short movie, the editor did good in shading on the environments. Even the game wasn't that darkly shaded as much as this. The dark shading actually reflects the atmosphere of the movie.

Well said, TheALine. I hope they go back to this for Dragon Age Dreadwolf.

yep

Morrigan*

I believe it

That's one way to get back at someone

A body can be dead and still make sounds.

Legends was great fun, way better than DA2/3, I still miss that one. Even though it made me friend randoms on social media, the communities I joined (to backpack me) were all really friendly. Just wasn't the same when they killed the servers and made it single player unfortunately, the NPCs weren't varied/interesting enough to replace other player avatars.

It wasn't aborted. We only see the tragic end and aftermath of the story by playing through the Awakening expansion pack.

***** that y it sucked

Yes please. Kristoff is such a badass

Me too

2021

@@RexOlafusVidulusMagnus 2022!! I want Dragon Age to go back to this level of moody gritty dark fantasy. Wow, this was great!

2022 ) I miss that original world of dragon age

@@coraline3767 Me too!

Me on February 2024!

technically he did b4 he died

You can actually get him in this form in the Dragon Age: Redesigned mod at the Dragon Age Origins section of nexus. Note: you don't have to use the entire mod. Just make sure you install Dracomies True Textures mod and then look for the "justice" mor in the Awakening Redesigned files.

Even if it falls a bit short because the crest isn't a proper griffon, yes, I do agree with this.

Being a bounty hunter before his three-year Grey Warden can make one quite limber against such heaviness.

For real

@@theyincorporated5711 hahahh

Or Intimidate, for that matter.

were you disappointed? Lol

yes

Justice took his body, yep.

Cool

+A3 you u rtelling dare r to Kritoffs then

Taka Baruna i honestly thought dragon age 2 was better than origins but i'm probably in the minority

Shoeless Scoundrel Dragon age 2 looked great.. But the you didn't had as much exploring as in Origins and tactical wise origins is a great game especially on higher difficulties.. I personally am not a very big gamer.. I enjoyed both games very much and especially inquisition. I am wondering what our next story would take place..

Taka Baruna well, what you said is right, the problem is that all the good stuff is in the last 2 hours of the game, before that is tedious chores, rehased maps and lots of filler battles.... the game has half of origins lenght, but it feels like twice of how boring it is. and the worst part is that you dont have that much control of the game's plot.

Taka Baruna The repetitive environments *do* get tiresome. I mean... do all caves look the same? Every warehouse or storage? However, I like to imagine it's only like that because the entire setting of DA2 is based on Varric's storytelling, and maybe he didn't describe the caves and storages in detail. "What? It's a cave, like any other cave, what do you want from me?"

+Sly Well that was Anders' whole point, wasn't it? A compromise wouldn't work, and trying would just be a waste of time. It's nice to be able to pick a middle ground, but in the real world that isn't always possible. A man who tries to end a war by stepping between the two factions is simply crushed between them. Frankly, I'd have been disappointed if there WAS a middle ground option, in hindsight, as it would have removed any meaningful choice, as a middle-ground option that works would invariably be the "correct" choice. That's the point here, there is no objectively "correct" choice. I'll agree on the environments though - too many re-used environments with various passages and doors simply locked shut. But honestly, aside from the mild irritation of the constant "second and third waves of enemies" in every combat popping out of nowhere to make battles drag on, that's my only real complaint about Dragon Age 2 - otherwise, I love it.

or if they'd let gideon emery do it seriously they already had him for several characters inclding mystical voice

Hell Ya!!!

No because then there would be less dialogue options

+Hessian I guess he's a discount Blackwall.

I was thinking the same thing

+Jay EDJ You are correct. It was not Bioware that fucked up DA2, it was EA who forced them to release FAR earlier than the developers at Bioware would have liked. The game wasn't even totally finished and from what I have heard I've not played it yet but I will) it is painfully obvious in some places that it was rushed. Bioware was not given the time to fully polish the game because Electronic Arts wanted to hurry up and c ash in on the game. EA has done the same thing over and over with the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic, that they financed and Bioware developed.

Nop.

***** Oh lord. I was trying to forget that movie.

It's because in a game you have hundreds of cinematics you have to direct and a hard time limit. Wheras this series was produced by a separate company and they were using premade assets to make it with. They just had to make cinematics and not a game ontop of it.

Play awakening

muselessmusician He dies

Fuck you

Mikael Ortmayer No, no Pete is right.

Kaelde don't get what Pete's point is.

I dont do that too. I just say he is right to people, so they feel uncomfortable.

Kaelde lol you got me there mate

or at least a pair (both bonded to you). Though I liked how they rectified the situation in later editions and allowed you to have a full party as well as summon your faithful mabari war hound when ever you liked. I agree Anders was pretty well useless in every playthrough I ever did and prefered to use another mage (Merrill if, as the protagonist I wasn't a mage, then I had no mages in the party). I just wish they allowed a bit of incesterous action to go on as I woulded have bedded Bethany (when you could have her in your party and she wasn't killed at the beginning), sister or not, as she was hot.

Justice and Kristoff aren't the same person. What Kristoff chose to fight with while alive doesn't mean Justice would choose to do the same. It makes sense for a spirit of Justice to follow the archtypical sword and shield way of battle.

Margi Fisher be that as it may when you recruit Kristoff/Justice he is set up as a mace/shield warrior. as per Dragon Age wiki "In Warden's Fall, Kristoff is a short-haired warrior wielding a two-handed weapon. In Awakening, he is a bald man with a mace and shield. In the webseries he also sports a big scar on his left eye extending across his cheek, which is missing in Awakening." dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Kristoff

Orion The elf was Tamlen from the elven back story wich botherd me because he Is dead. so they didn't pay good attention to the lore

I just watched it again and while that was indeed 'Tamlen's' likeness (the designers obviously used the Tamlen's template for this) Kristoff says either 'Ren' or 'Fren' at 4.11 (couldn't make it out clearly even playing it back several times) when the Hurlock Alpha kills him. So I am assuming it was actually another elf that happened to look like Tamlen, because as you said Tamlen does indeed die, or rather get's blight sickness and eventually turns to a ghoul and then gets killed by the party later in the story. dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Tamlen

I just watched Dawn of seeker. It felt pretty generic to me

Yeah but Justice isn't Christoff, Being the embodiment of justice lends itself to defending the weak protection, hence Sword and Shield. He's his own person so he'd also have his own preferences.

But he had Kristoff's Sword and Shield, that's the point

Yeah, but who really used Justice as a vanguard? Who here actually kept him with a shield and not a greatsword?

+Brother Kardel lol what

That first game just has the dark fantasy atmosphere/look/gritty filter. They NEED to go back to this. Plus this story seemed far more interesting. Amazing what they can do with the original game's assets.

Yeah he didnt looks like this at all in Awakening, he didn't have hairs and scar on the face((

Before

Origins is better overall but graphically DA 2 is better. Also haven't you heard of Inquisition ?

Yes I have heard of it but staying far away from it after DA2 and ME3. Also any other game with EA stamped on it.

relshar *shrug* had no issue with either of those games...ME3 was a bloody awesome game, the only part that was iffy was the ending, like ten minutes out of the 30+ hours I got from it, the rest was easily the best of the entire series as far as I was concerned. DA2 was fine too, was definitely superior graphically and in terms of mechanics, the story was a bit less impressive than Origins but beyond that and a few companions I didn't like, I really had no issue with it at all. Not to mention Inquisition is looking (from all the gameplay footage and such I've seen) like it's going to blow both Origins and DA2 out of the water. Easily my most anticipated game this year.

The poorly written ending in ME3 spoiled the whole game for me. Its was like making a cup of tea at the end of a long days hard graft only to pour sour milk into it. DA2 graphics and textures were poor when compared to DA:O. They were bland and 2 dimensional, as for the characters and party mechanics they to were badly designed. The lack of freedom as to when you can talk to the part members and the inability to change their looks because they had "special upgrades" that were found throughout the world mostly in shops. The game suffered from repeated content and a one design dungeon for all dungeons. Basically a square with a cross that lead to the middle room where the boss was, the only difference was what doors were unlocked that lead to this centre room. Combat in DA2 was a joke when compared to DA:O over the top action and unrealistic moves, also its the first RPG I have seen where melee and ranged weapons will make enemies explode on contact. Then there was the lore breaking enemy mages who could teleport (in DA universe mages can not teleport it is impossible.) With all that and the lack of tactics from the original game DA2 felt like a arcade beat em up rather than a RPG. BioWare only successfully managed to dumb down a game to fit it on the console and to get it released within 18 months so as to cash in on the success of DA:O. Anyone who thinks DA2 is a good RPG they need to play more RPG's from different developers.

The ending in ME3, while it really didn't bother me in the least, was ultimately fixed by the massive gig-large, free, "extended cut" ending, and even if one didn't like it, was made up for by the immensely entertaining "citadel" dlc, which competes for possibly the most entertaining dlc content from any game anywhere in my books. Your complaint on the graphics would seem an issue you alone have, in fact the two key things fans and reviewers have largely universally accepted as superior in favor of DA2 was the graphics and gameplay mechanics. Whatever it's faults, those two key points have been virtually across the board accepted as solid steps forward in the franchise. On top of that, the graphics in DA:I look not just superior to both, but superior by leaps and bounds at that. The mechanics in DA:I have, thus far, looked to be a perfect melding of both games, allowing one to play in the faster paced manner of DA2, or the more strategic approach found in DAO, so it will end up being a moot point from everything we've seen in that regard. Beyond that, the few issues I DID have with DA2 (namely the characters, story and sheer scale of the world to be explored) have, again, seemingly been put on a whole other level from both games in Inquisition. In fact, a single area in Inquisition is to be larger than the entire game of DAO, and the world is to be perpetually shifting depending on the players choices in widespread, and permanent ways, which is exactly what most old school RPG fans like myself look for. "Anyone who thinks DA2 is a good RPG they need to play more RPG's from different developers." Semantics, I grew up playing the old-school, strategic and classic, legendary games in the genre, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale, Planescape Torment and so forth and all the positives I've mentioned in DA2 still hold true. Out of all the modern RPG's to come about, the DA series as a whole has been the most enjoyable, engaging series available. Skyrim and the other Elder Skroll games weren't too bad either, and DA2 undoubtedly had it's weak points, but those two series are thus far holding the most promise as far as solid, single player RPG's available today. Though Skyrim's insistence on sucking at the MMO teat has been a definite stumble since most classic RPGers, those of us who grew up with the legends in the genre and playing the pen and paper classics tend to find most MMO's rather tedious grinds. *shrug* like I said, both ME3 and DA2 had faults, but were great fun in the vein of some of the classics and nothing either has done has decreased my opinion of the overall quality of the series. Particularly after the updates at fan behest ME3 went through.

No it wasn't cancelled, when you play DA Awakening it ties it all in, Kristoff is also the character known as Justice, that is playable in Awakening, who eventually lives in sides Anders in DA:2.

Gareth Mason We don't see his death though in this...

Yep, DA: 2 certainly felt very limited gameworld-wise. Fucking sucks.

Play Baldur's Gate 3. I know, it's still in early access, but if you liked DAO's story, companions, and aesthetics.... that's the game to buy.

+margaret mackie Not quite correct. Kristoff was the Grey Warden who was killed by Darkspawn in the Blackmarsh. Justice was the Fade Spirit who embodies the aspect of justice in Awakenings. by being in his body, Justice the Spirit is able to 'remember' some of Kristoff's past, like his wife, and being a Grey Warden, ect.

so Anders offers a soul contract with Kristoffs soul

@@foxmccloud4807 No. Kristoff is dead in Awakening. Anders offers a contract with Justice, a very different character who's was using Kristoff's body for a while.

Dave Gon Kristoff was always dead in Awakening.
