High Resolution Texture Pack for the PC version of Dragon Age II

This will add the option to enable higher detail replacements for most textures in game. A big difference will be noticed on level art especially.

Requirements:
To get the most out of the high resolution texture pack, we recommend running the game with the DirectX 11 renderer (requires a DirectX 10 GPU and Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7). We also recommend a video card with at least 1 GB of video memory.

Most of the benefits from the Hi-resolution textures will only be seen if you are able to run the game in DirectX 11.

To manually download your new content on the PC:

1. Download the installer from the link below and run it.
2. Run Dragon Age II.
3. Open the Options menu.
4. Select Video options.
5. Check the "Hi-resolution textures" checkbox.

Note: In order to enable the "Very High" setting you will need a video card that supports DX11 and the latest drivers.

Papel de Parede

[Taturana]

Ok. Já estou jogando o jogo há algumas horas, como não vi nenhum tópico sobre o jogo em si resolvi criar um.

Bom, a história do jogo realmente é bem contada, pelo menos até o ponto onde já fui (estou em Kirkwall já, ainda não fui na expedição). A dublagem até o momento é muito boa. Eu tinha considerado a adoção daquela roda de conversação do estilo do Mass Effect nem boa nem ruim quando joguei a demonstração. Agora já posso dizer que eu gosto menos dela. Realmente é ruim você ter três opções de escolha (bom, engraçado, mau) sem saber exatamente o que o personagem vai dizer. Teve opção que eu escolhi pela síntese que sinceramente não esperava que a Hawke fosse responder de certa forma (embora tenha algumas das respostas engraçadas/irôncias que me fizeram rir).

Estou jogando no nível Nightmare, até que está dando um pouco de trabalho pra falar a verdade. Tem algumas coisas do combate que eu não gostei muito. Por exemplo, você está caminhando durante o período da noite em Lowtown (região dentro da cidade de Kirkwall) e em alguns pontos bandidos aparecem. Alguns são inimigos fracos, outros um pouco mais fortes. O que acontece é que quando você está quase derrotando aquele grupo mais inimigos aparecem, o que pode acabar atrapalhando a tática, ainda mais quando esse grupo aparece atrás do mago e do arqueiro. Eu vi algumas pessoas em outros fóruns reclamando da reutilização dos cenários. Eu só entrei em um ambiente fechado até agora (envolve uma quest da família do Hawke, ou da Marian Hawke no meu caso), então não posso dizer muita coisa. Mas se realmente ficaram reutilizando esses cenários não deve ser uma coisa muito agradável. Outro ponto que eu estou odiando completamente é a câmera. Ela é uma droga, faz uma falta bruta ter a câmera aérea do DA:O. O pior é quando um dos personagens fica perto de uma parede, a câmera gruda nele e fica impossível de ver o campo de batalha corretamente. Como é que se espera que um comando seja dado quando não se enxerga PN (praticamente nada xD). E sinceramente, não poder ter um controle livre da câmera ficando restrito a câmera fixa em um determinado personagem é uma porcaria também. Também tem outra coisa sobre o combate que me deixou incomodado. Se eles queriam acelerar o combate deveriam ter acelerado as outras características do combate, não só a velocidade. Tem habilidade que demora muito tempo pra restaurar. No DA:O fazia sentido esse tempo maior já que a batalha era mais cadenciada. Já no DA2 tem hora que só sobram as armas "nuas" por um período de tempo elevado. Isso parece ser um problema de balanceamento pra mim. E ainda tem mais outra coisa. Se você dá um comando para o personagem ir para um determinado local, você espera que ele faça isso independente se ele tiver sido atingido por uma flecha ou derrubado, impedindo ele de prosseguir. Isso não acontece. Se você é atingido o personagem simplesmente para, desconsidera o comando. Isso é horrível. ou então quando você inicialmente ordena um ataque (que está marcado com um símbolo de espadas cruzadas em cima do inimigo) e depois ordena que o rogue vá pra trás do inimigo, o personagem não continua o ataque. Você tem que dar a ordem de ataque novamente.

Também tem algumas quests que aparecem do nada, você seleciona um objeto que está lá no cenário e diz que é uma quest. Daí quando você vai ver você já acabou a quest com alguém dizendo muito obrigado por ter encontrado o meu "blah" de "blah" de estimação. Meio tosco isso.

Patch 1.03 lançado. Muitas correções. Muitas mesmo.

Dragon Age II 1.03

NOTE: Some fixes are retroactive, but not all. Players with plot-breaking bugs may need to revert to an earlier save, particularly a save prior to visiting the affected area during the current year in the game.

GAMEPLAY

• The Epic achievement was not unlocking properly for some users. This no longer occurs.
• The Supplier achievement now always unlocks after finding at least 66 resource varieties, including resources purchased from the Black Emporium.
• A codex entry that helps unlock the Archaeologist achievement is now easier to acquire in the Viscount's Keep during the first year in Kirkwall.
• In many fights, enemies now move less quickly at the start of combat. This slower initial pace makes tactical positioning more useful and important.
• If the force of an enemy attack interrupts a party member's current action, the party member now resumes the action once he or she has recovered. This means, for example, that party members who have been instructed to consume a health potion will now do so as soon as they are able, and do not need to be told to consume a health potion again if they are interrupted.
• Enemies are now much less likely to explode into body parts upon death.
• Attacks that hit a stealthed assassin are now more likely to disrupt stealth.
• Abilities that apply a silence effect now also cancel the target's current action in addition to preventing the target from using further abilities.
• When an enemy wakes from a sleep effect due to suffering damage, other status effects that were applied by the same ability that caused the sleep effect are no longer removed at the same time.
• Items that bear the property "100% of basic attack damage vs. enemies that attack in melee" no longer harm the user when equipped in conjunction with abilities like Blood Magic or Sacrificial Frenzy that reduce the user's health.
• The items known as Final Thought, Sataareth, Sundering, and Trepanner's Gift now have damage types that match their elemental damage bonuses.
• The items known as Allure's Crook, Corrupted Acolyte's Staff, Defender of the Wall, Void's Hammer, and Volcanic Shield can now only be equipped by the appropriate classes.
• The high dragon's fireballs no longer track moving targets.
• Pride demons can no longer be affected by their own Crushing Prison spells.
• The size of the area affected by an ability is now explicitly described as diameter or radius (usually diameter).
• When a party member's armor changes after consummating a romance, runes inscribed on his or her old armor now carry over to the new armor.
• Using the Maker's Sigh potion on an archer no longer alters inventory capacity.
• It is no longer possible to create more than one Elixir of Heroism.
• It is no longer possible to simultaneously enable sustained modes that are supposed to be mutually exclusive.
• In some cases, enemies would freeze while entering combat. This no longer occurs.
• In some cases, saw traps or spike traps would throw party members back even when the trap was not visible. This no longer occurs.
• The Special Deliveries chest can no longer get into a state where it contains items but cannot be opened.
• The storage chest is now present in the Hawke estate after completing the main campaign.
• If the Black Emporium premium content is installed, the mabari hound now follows his master more reliably.

• In "A New Path," Merrill no longer remains locked in the party after the quest.
• In "Bait and Switch," the chest in the abandoned house can now always be opened.
• In "Demands of the Qun," Aveline's guards no longer turn hostile if the player declines to enter the Qunari compound during the day and then returns at night.
• In "Dissent," it is no longer possible to loot Ser Alrik's body before the appropriate time. This ensures that the quest can always be completed.
• In "No Rest for the Wicked," Isabela now always begins the opening conversation at the appropriate time.
• In "The Captain's Condolences," it is now possible to ask Aveline about her father even if she is not currently in the party.
• In "The Last Straw," Anders now responds much differently if he is a rival.
• In "The Last Straw," Aveline no longer attacks Meredith when the party is supposed to be stunned. This prevents a subsequent issue where the game could freeze after loading the post-campaign save.
• In "Wayward Son," it is no longer possible to speak to Thrask after speaking to Samson. This ensures that the quest progresses correctly.
• If Merrill's clan members die, she no longer speaks as if they were alive.

• An error about AWC.dll that prevents the game from launching no longer occurs.

• The DirectX 11 renderer is now disabled if your video-card drivers are older than version 11.4 (for AMD cards) or 267.14 (for NVIDIA cards).
• The game no longer erroneously uses the DirectX 11 renderer if the DirectX 9 renderer was selected in conjunction with a full-screen gamma value other than the default. This change should improve performance for players who were using those settings. As well, the full-screen gamma value is now saved correctly.
• If the game is set to use a language other than English, it no longer reverts to English upon installing a patch.
• Various issues specific to DirectX 11 no longer occur.
• Various issues preventing the game from launching no longer occur.

BALANCE
NOTE: Patch 1.03 introduces significant changes to the overall balance of the game, improving the strategic elements and making combat and class progression more engaging and enjoyable for players. Here is a detailed summary of the balance-related improvements:

• Enemies' basic attacks now apply much less force, which means that party members' actions are not interrupted as frequently.
• The secondary attribute requirement for equipping armor or shields (constitution for warriors, willpower for mages, and cunning for rogues) is now significantly smaller.
• The rate at which rogues regenerate stamina while performing basic attacks has been significantly increased. Rogues now regain 1% of their stamina per hit with dual weapons or 2% per hit with a bow.
• Traps no longer inflict injuries.
• Enemies now gain more health as the game progresses.
• Enemy assassins now have less health.
• Lieutenant-rank and boss-rank enemies now have less health.
• Lieutenant-rank enemies can no longer lose more than 40% of their health from a single hit, and boss-rank enemies cannot lose more than 20%.

Terminei o jogo ontem a noite se não me engano

Bom, vamos a algumas considerações:

• A história é interessante. Deixou de ser uma história épica é verdade, mas de qualquer forma foi interessante ver o nascimento de um herói, mesmo esse herói não tendo ideia de que os atos dele acabariam gerando consequências tão graves pra cidade de Kirkwall. Eu vi algumas pessoas comentando que houve um problema com a história porque independente das escolhas os finais são os mesmos (ainda vou jogar mais uma vez pra confirmar isso, mas deve ser isso). O que eu compreendi desse conto é que o destino do Hawke foi inexorável. Todo aquele caos aconteceu independente das escolhas feitas durante os 10 anos que o herói viveu e mudou a vida das pessoas em Kirkwall. Não vou entrar em detalhes pra não estragar nenhuma surpresa obviamente. O humor que existe na história é muito bom, especialmente a Merril e o Varric. Embora a história da Merril acabe se tornando uma verdadeira tragédia.
  
• Há realmente um reuso exagerado das áreas existentes nesse jogo. Acho que há dois modelos de casa comuns (com um deles sendo usado exaustivamente), umas duas áreas na praia, uma área que é utilizada em Darktown (um bairro de Kirkwall), uma área do porto... Enfim, isso eu estou falando agora de cabeça. Muito pouco pra um jogo que consumiu tantas horas pra ser concluído. A cidade Kirkwall em si é bem diferenciada, o trabalho foi bem feito. O problema mesmo são as áreas adicionais dentro da cidade.
  
• Falando no gasto de horas, isso aconteceu porque eu estava jogando no modo nightmare. Simplesmente desisti desse modo. No Dragon Age: Origins você levava algum tempo até descobrir como posicionar suas peças pra se livrar de uma emboscada, enfrentar uma tropa de inimigos mais forte, etc. No Dragon Age 2 os inimigos se transformaram em inimigos de titânio (duros de matar), incrivelmente letais (especialmente os assassinos das sombras; levar dois ataques pela retaguarda é morte na certa, tinha hora que aparecia dois de uma vez), e ondas e ondas de inimigos aparecendo sempre que você está perto de eliminar um grupo que te atacava. Sem brincadeira, no ato 3 teve um momento que apareceu 4 ondas de inimigos fortes. Não importa você ter um monte de poção de vida quando eles aparecem em ondas sucessivas e o tempo até você poder tomar outra poção ser mais longo que essas ondas. Sinceramente, eu simplesmente perdi a paciência com esse aspecto do jogo, não vale a pena jogar no nightmare. Fora que é incrivelmente mal balanceado o aspecto do fogo amigo. Talvez seja porque o combate está mais dinâmico, mas com um jogo que não recebe os comandos que você ordena corretamente fica difícil controlar um grupo de quatro personagens. Só pra ter uma ideia, só nesse patch 1.03 do post aí de cima que um comando dado continua a existir mesmo depois do personagem ser derrubado no chão, por exemplo. Sobre o combate ser dinâmico eu não tenho nada contra, de fato eu gostei dele ter ficado mais veloz que no Dragon Age: Origins. Agora, que a câmera aérea faz uma falta tremenda, ah faz sim. Tem momentos que um dos personagens fica colado na parede e você não consegue sair do lugar porque não consegue achar uma área clicável justamente porque a câmera gruda no personagem, não tem campo de visão.
  
• A música e a dublagem são muito boas. Não sei porque estavam reclamando do aspecto da dublagem, talvez porque tenham jogado com o Hawke? Eu joguei com a Hawke, é muito boa a dublagem da Jo Wyatt.

Vou continuar postando as imagens que eu tirei do jogo aqui.

O que o diretor da EA disse sobre o DA2:

"Ficamos bastante decepcionados com a reação de nossos fãs, pois queríamos que eles ficassem tão empolgados quanto nós ficamos com o game. Conquistamos novos gamers com Dragon Age II mas, para ser honesto, tivemos uma perda significativa em nossa base de fãs. Nem todos aprovaram as inovações propostas. Vamos levar isso em consideração no desenvolvimento do novo título da série", disse Gibeau.

Sério Sherlock? Queria o que, que ninguém reclamasse do reuso dos cenários, ou das ondas e ondas de inimigos?

não joguei o origins.. mas o 2 eu não curti.. =/
pelo menos no console..
não me cativei pelos diálogos, nem pelos personagens.. nem pelo cenário, nem nada..
tô precisando do diablo 3, eu acho hoeahehoea

Eu comprei o Origins pelo ORIGIN (?!) da EA, antigo EADM.

Passei 3h editando o char pra quando começar o jogo ele sequer ter voz. Achei brochante, talvez pq estava acostumado com Witcher e Mass Effect.
Desisti nos primeiros 20 minutos de gameplay. Quando tiver de férias e se não tiver terminado Witcher 2, talvez eu finalmente dê uma chance pra ele.

De longe o pior rpg que a bioware já produziu , uma porcaria de um port dos consoles pq mudaram totalmente o jogo pra deixar + facinho p/ qm joga com pad estória rasa sem o mínimo de possibilidade de vc se sentir parte novamente do mundo épico /vasto de dragon Age , cenários reutilizados infinitamente, ou seja um caça níquel da EA e por incrível que pareça da bioware, DA 1 eh o tipico rpg que faz vc terminAR 1, 2,3,4,5, 6 vezes tantas qtas forem necessárias p/ vc descobrir tds os segredos se envolver com tds possibilidades já DA2 é o típico jogo que vc termina ou pq comprou achando que iria ser bom ou pq realmente não tem + nada de bom p/ fazer, isso que não quero nem falar sobre o que fizeram com o sistema de inventário dos seus companheiros de grupo, nem jogo de mega drive é tão capado, parabéns p/ EA/Bioware por essa aberração que nem merecia levar o nome dragon Age ele é um exemplo das porcarias que andam saindo p/ pc e supostamente deveriam ser AAA
Jogo rpgs desde meus 10 anos de idade e nunca tinha jogado uma porcaria tão grande qto essa e olha que joguei qse tds Final Fantasies que saíram ( incluindo da nv geração kk)
