Dragon Age 2 vs Dungeon Siege 2
Dragon Age 2
Dragon Age 2 puts you into the shoes of Hawke, a refugee who happens to be incredibly apt at fighting, as he/she (you get to choose which) attempts to escape from the darkspawn-filled realm of Felderen in hopes of becoming the Champion of Kirkwall. Similar to its original game, the game is utterly oozing in a rich and cinematic-infused storyline that will have you making crucial decisions based on your gut instincts, careful deliberations or simply your emotions which may drastically change the path of your narrative, resulting in very different endings.Being a party-based game, the decisions you make may also affect your companions' personal opinion of you and naturally, the better relationship you have with your companion, the more dialogue options you'll open up. The characters in this game is as colorful as its predecessor too, each with their own unique set of quirks and personalities. The combat system is also greatly improved so the transition between paused "planning mode" and the exciting action is smoother than before.
Dragon Age 2 is an epic sequel to the series and is a must-buy for fans of the game. For those who are looking to get into the game, we'd recommend starting with Dragon Age: Origins just so you can truly appreciate the amount of attention to detail that this game has when it comes to its lore.
Dungeon Siege 2
Dungeon Siege 2 is the sequel to the dungeon crawler game, Dungeon Siege, where it plunges you in a whole new storyline that will see you saving the world once again. In this game, the magic that has been spread out throughout the world is now being called back by an ancient being whose strength is on the rise and only you can stop it. The game has greatly improved on every aspect of its original by fleshing out its gameplay with fully customizable characters, generous amount of loot drops, challenging and compelling quests as well as plenty of hidden secrets for you to find; as well as its graphics and soundtracks.If you are interested to try the Dungeon Siege series, many would strongly recommend giving its second installment a try rather than the first. It's really a lot better than the previous in many ways and it might just make you fall in love with the series after you've done with the game. Sadly, the only unfortunate part is that the Steam version doesn't support multiplayer... still.
