I liked the fluidity of the fighting, but I worried about precision. It came as a surprise to me, as everything from issuing commands to actually enacting them clipped along at a very fast pace. You can tell there’s been a major jump forward in graphics and a seamless experience now that a couple of years have passed.īut for anyone who enjoyed the tactics, like me, the more streamlined style is a detriment. Dragon Age 2 (2011)ĭragon Age 2 feels much more streamlined than Origins. But having played the game multiple times, I can tell you I’ve tried it all - on both PC and console - and playing at least parts of battles tactically on PC is the richest experience to me. I also have never completed the game on the hardest difficulty. I didn’t always use a lot of strategy when I played Origins. You can also issue other commands to your team, making sure everybody gets a health potion when they need one and using spells that boost your own party’s skills.
For instance, you can have your mage freeze an enemy, then swoop in with your warrior to shatter the ice sculpture you have just made. Since you can control a party of four characters, this gets pretty fun. From here, you can select any of your playable characters, target an enemy, and choose which attack you would like to perform.
This is the overhead tactical view I love. To really enjoy Origins ’ combat, you have to pause battles and peer down at them from above. It’s the easy way to play, and it’s arguably the best way to play on console since it’s harder to target tactically when you can’t pan around with your mouse. You can play on the Casual difficulty and just target enemies to throw hits at them, one after another - but that’s not the most fun way to play. This is because the game feels very tactical. In the first game, playing on PC is the way to go. That’s why I’ve decided to break down how fighting works in each game! What’s weird is that I find the combat less interesting than it was in previous Dragon Age games, and I’m not entirely sure why. Lately I’ve jumped back into Dragon Age: Inquisition.
