was their ever a dragon age 2 ultimate edition ?

[adz]

if so my guess it would be on steam like crysis 2 maximum edition

[Dixon Sider]

Ya but its mad expensive, its on EA's game manager. It would make bank on steam lol

[adz]

why didnt they put it on steam like crysis 2?

[MaximumEffort]

Because DLCs cost a whole lot. And because its EA - all about money. Plus its Bioware points and those never go on sale!

I'm still raving about ME2/3 DLCs costing a combined 25€ each!

♥♥♥♥ that...

i wish it was on steam

DA2 was pulled from Steam, due to Valve and EA disagreeing how DLCs were distributed.

EA locked them behind Bioware points and third site distribution.

Well, not to mention that DA2 wasn't exactly as great as DO, at least not in my opinion. I loved DO (just bought it for PC because of the current sale) but I'd never bother with DA2 again.

It's inconsistent on several aspects with the first game, many dungeon locations are re-used so if you're really into this game then that is going to give you a weird experience and well... I dunno.

Biased as it may I don't think we're missing out here.

No, there never was a "Dragon Age 2 Ultimate Edition" that included all DLC. Not on PC, anyway. If you buy the game on Origin you still need to spend extra $$$ to purchase the DLC bundle.

I think DA II is worth it for the characters and story alone. Although the reused areas and dungeons does get annoying, no doubt. But I doubt we will ever see it on steam. As much as I hate the origin launcher, I feel that it is something we just have get used to for now.

Yes, it is pretty good.

Definitely not as good as DA:O, but DA2 is fine in it's own right, and has some interesting characters. Actually the legacy, and mark of the assassin DLC from DA2, in my opinion, are pretty decent, and have some interesting boss battles.

DA:O has a gigantic amount of reused areas/content. Every single DLC besides awakening, and dlc (Witch Hunt, Golems) after that reuse areas as well. I wouldn't say that's just a DA2 issue. Inquisition is actually the game with the most unique content, if only it wasn't so grindy. I do enjoy them all for their own merits, and mostly, for the continuation of my stories, even if a lot of my choices result in just flavor text by the end.

Depends on what you find enjoyable. It's a big (empty) open world game. Beautiful landscape and dragons, not-so-good character models, and a multitude of pointless fetch quests.

its better than 2 but not as good as origins mostly due to opting to take the ubisoft open world design style and make giant maps filled with boring filler and not focusing on less more fleshed out quests and content the main quests are still good but if you grab it dont bother trying for 100% completion because the filler ♥♥♥♥ kills the pacing. i still liked it alot but it has issues.

3 was Dragon Scrolls: Rimquisition. It's a very different, semi-open world style game. Grindy, tedious, time-consuming. Can't speak to the plot, only made halfway-ish. So it's up to you, if you like that sort of thing. Me, I can't stand the endless amounts of empty "content" an open world game copy-pastes in.

So, with my biases known, I thought 2 was better than 3. It's really good, for only having like a year to crank it out. Shame that EA put an unreasonable time limit on it, or it could've been much better. It has great times, it has terrible times. Dammit, Anders. The Qunari arc is such an interesting conflict it makes me forget most of the rest of the game. There was so much more there, a whole game. But we have to push that sequel hook, you know? No time for politics and a clash of civilizations when we can bludgeon the audience with the Mages vs Templars angle. Again.
