Every time I thought I've played the coolest parts of the game, it got better. 'Nuff said.

Oh, just objectively one of the most well-made games ever created. No pressure.

If I could only choose one game that changed me and how I see life forever, it would be this one without a second thought.
If I could only play one last game before I die, it would also be this one.
If you are the type of person to love small games that make you cry with a few pixels and beautiful music, you owe it to yourself to try it.

Dragon Age 2 is not a game for everyone. But if it IS for you, Kirkwall will stay with you forever.
Few games let you just live the life of someone slowly figuring their life out across 7 years in a fantasy setting.
Even fewer can say they are not about winning and saving the world, but trying to save the little peace of it that you know and love. You can't really save Kirkwall, or change the world in a meaningful way. But you were here for a while, loved some people for a while, and that's all that mattered in the end.
In the end, the best way I can describe it is a little quote your character can say about the city it's taking place in: "A city of people living their lives, good or ill."
So with all of it's flaws maybe that's what the game is all about. And that's what makes it feel so real to me.
An RPG about life, the good and the ugly.
