Game modes:Single player
Story:Dragon Age II is the sequel to Dragon Age: Origins and the second major game in the series. Like its predecessor, players can explore and engage in combat from a third-person perspective and will also encounter various companions who play major roles in the plot and gameplay. Depending on players' decisions and dialogue, a companion will either recognize the main character Hawke as a friend or a rival. The game adopts the wheel-based dialogue system, meaning short responses that reflect different tones and attitudes the player wishes to choose for Hawke. The combat system is quite similar to the one used in the previous Dragon Age game, though it has been noticeably sped up.Show more

(Sarcastic) Hawke is my favourite character from a game with character creator. Specific humour sarcastic Hawkes have is something special and unique. Their voice acting (both male and female) is top notch and even default presets for both characters are amazing (never before and after have I played a default version if I could make my own). Also, it would be amazing to have both DA:O and DA2 on GOG.
I've been following the Dragon Age series since its beginnings in late 2009. I first played Origins in early 2010 and since then, it's become my most played game of all time.
But... despite not getting to properly play it until 2015, DA2 is definitely my favourite in the series. It's such a comforting game to me and I replay it every year. It has great characters (for the most part), good music, a charming art style and gameplay that isn't overly complicated. On top of it all, this game is very special to me because Anders's romance with Male Hawke helped me figure out my identity i.e. who I am.
I want it on GOG, because EA App is a horrible launcher and I want to deal with less hassles just to play a game I love.
I remember watching a Let's Play of "Dragon Age: Origins" and wanting to play the next game myself. Sadly, the first title had no demo so I wound up finishing a Let's Play while trying to see if the game was for me. I got the demo for "Dragon Age 2". I recommend that GOG get this one if they do bring the full game on here. I felt like I was taking crazy pills with Darkspawn suddenly looking like the Joker's minions. The simple dialogue tree had been changed to resemble the dialogue wheel from "Mass Effect" and even in the demo I had no clue of what my character was talking about or what I was about to say based on the lines that were given to me. They changed what characters like Isabella (who is in the first game) and Flemeth looked like. You're telling me that Flemeth dressed like that before the Grey Warden returned to kill her? I was hoping that they'd right the ship after player feedback but the demo was a good indication of what to expect. A more action-oriented approach to combat and changing everything else for the worse. People in 2025 seem to have forgotten that a lot of the problems currently attributed to "Dragon Age 4" can also be attributed to this title but I have no rose-tinted glasses. In terms of race customization this game is even worse. People refer to this game's protagonist as Hawke and not "The Champion" in the same vein as "The Grey Warden" as they do the previous game because you cannot play as anyone else. You can't be an elf from a Dalish tribe or a dwarf mercenary who fought at the Battle of Ostagar.
You can already find the demo for this game online. Play the demo and see if the game still holds up for you. I will say this, the legal notice was very short so I could quickly get to the gameplay. That was very nice. My most positive experience with the demo and something that I unironically think that more developers/publishers should emulate.
Das Spiel hatte noch das, was den Biowarezauber ausmachte, und für mich auch das wichtigste. Gute Gefährten und eine richtig gute Story. Und vor allem einen Protagonisten den ich geliebt habe. All das, wofür man das Spiel kritisierte, das Maprecycling etc. ist unter Anbetracht dessen, dass sie weniger als 2 Jahre bekamen, um das Spiel rauszubringen, absolut nebensächlich. Sie haben die Zeit richtig genutzt Story/Charaktere sind wichtiger als Mapdesign. Andersrum wäre es schlimmer gewesen. Wenn ich mir manchmal vorstelle was Dragon Age 2 hätte sein können, hätte man Bioware nicht gedrängelt, sagen wir mit vielleicht 4-5 Jahren Entwicklungszeit,... oh man... - Ich wäre sehr froh wenn ich dieses bei einigen wohl verkannte Juwel meiner GOG-Bibliothek hinzufügen könnte.
A Game from a Time where EA and Bioware brought some good Games on the Market.
To be honest i already got it on Origin but as i've mentioned it a few Times im more and more dissapointed of all this Game-Launchers i got already now on my PC.
( If someone ask how many: Aside from GOG there are 4 others. )
And i am a Guy who want to have all his Games on one Place and my Choice felt on GOG since a few Years now.
And by the Way Dragon Age Origins is already avaiable here in the GOG Store so why not continue the Francise to make it complete.
Thats my Wish and i know GOG can make it possible.
The recent event involving a person with the same name as a character from another game reminded me of Anders from Dragon Age II. Ander’s story, and the core conflict behind it that is presented in the game, has always been a source of intense debate in the fandom, but no one can argue that it does not invite us to some serious thinking, now more than ever in the current political environment.
I sure think about many things in this game a lot. The scope of this game is small, but it’s the perfect setup for a fantastically written story with exceptional characters. This game means a lot to me and to many others. It’s a timeless gem that deserves to be preserved.
DA2 is my favourite Dragon Age game. There’s a certain way that I feel when I play the game that is just great and unlike anything else. Not something I can put into words really. All I know is when I play DAO I’m looking forward to starting DA2 and when I’m playing DAI I’m already planning my next Hawke. For all the game’s flaws, it has a great cast of characters and setting. Kirkwall is incredibly lore-rich, expanding the Qunari and Tevinter, while also giving fans their first glimpse of the North of Thedas. DA2 has the best sidequests in the series with Sheparding Wolves being one that lives in my mind rent-free. The game’s friendship and rivalry system is something unique to this entry and something that I’ve seen actually praised in recent years: “Wouldn’t it be great if X game had the friendship/rivalry system from DA2?”
The most important thing to know is that this is the game that gave us Varric Tethras (among many other fan-favourite characters) - the best writer and most loved dwarf in all of Thedas.
I’d love to see this game on GOG, and I think it deserves to be preserved in the same way as DAO.
While i was draged by the blame hype at the era it got released,when i first played it on a netcafe to pass the time i enjoyed it for the casual fan it was. I actually gave it chance and while it was not something crazy, it was fun for it's play trough, not demanding much having low requirement for a computer so even a potato could run it and with a decent mod community and generally if you go with a like the characters, ignore the story messages you might like it more than you think. At least that was my experience with the game.
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2Curse of the Moon 2 brings classic 2D action and a dark, 8-bit aesthetic together with modern playability. The multiple-scenario structure of the previous title returns with an epic new story supervised by IGA (Koji Igarashi) himself.
Players take control of Zangetsu, a swordsman from the far east who bears a deep grudge against demonkind and the alchemists who summoned them. Zangetsu must battle his way to the demonic stronghold, but he doesn't have to do it alone! Zangetsu can ally himself with a brand new cast of characters he meets along the way and add them to the playable roster.
Three brand-new playable characters appear in Curse of the Moon 2, including the exorcist Dominique. All characters from the original Curse of the Moon game are playable, too! Each new character adds a variety of gameplay options, abilities, and ways to complete the games' many stages.
Players can also create demon hunting duos in 2-player local co-op, available for the first time in the series! Work together with a friend, mix and match the strengths of two different characters, and conquer stages in tons of new and exciting ways.Action Fantasy
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon"“Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon”is packed with the retro charm that made the legendary 2D action games of the 80s so enjoyable.
Take control of one of four characters that can be interchanged at any time during gameplay: The sword-swinging exorcist Zangetsu, the whip-wielding heroine Miriam, the magic using alchemist Alfred, and Gebel, who can turn into a bat and take to the skies.
Finally, you can experience multiple endings depending on how you interact with the characters you meet.
This project is the 8-bit style game promised as a stretch goal of the 2015 Kickstarter campaign for "Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night." Backers of the Kickstarter campaign are encouraged to check the Kickstarter page for updates."Action Fantasy
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Parasite Eve IIParasite Eve II is an action role-playing survival horror video game released exclusively for the PlayStation. The game was developed by Square and published in Japan in 1999 and in both North America and, unlike the previous game, in PAL regions in 2000. It is the sequel to Parasite Eve and the second game in the series of the same name.
Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Mitochondrial creatures. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained.Trending Action Horror Science fiction Survival
