Dragon Age 2: Fuckin' Bitches, Stabbin' Dragons

Really? I actually find choosing the timing of when to do certain rogue skills like Evade, Backstab and other skills to obscure the character do a fine job of literally dodging and cancelling enemy attacks that otherwise would have hit me. I feel there's more strategy than you give it credit for. I wouldn't know about the Warrior class, as it seems to have always been a class that you could just sic on the enemy to do their own thing to soak up damage, but at the very least there's still a big importance in the timing for the rogue class, especially when the spatial aspect of battles actually has an effect on how attacks land.
I think the battles that stand out the most are the ones involving mages and minibosses, basically enemies that hit hard and throw a helluva lot of spells. It's a lot more economical if you save a Rush or Miasmic Flask for a mage when they're charging a spell, or avoid using Backstab or Evade until an ogre charges you or does a Slam. You have a point, though, as most standard enemies fold like paper at some point in the game, but on the harder difficulties (which imo everyone should be playing on because Normal DAII is like Casual Origins), you get a lot more out of skills if you're selective about how and when to use them.

I dunno, the Warrior skills in DA:O were pretty good. I seem to remember using Alistair as a decent tank but also using his shield bash and assault skills to good use, especially against frozen enemies. There were tactical decisions there to be made if you could be bothered.
Alex C:
Yeah but like, in Origins it was possible to actually die and stuff. Cranking up the difficultly would probably help, I guess, but man, DAII normal is piss easy.
Caleb:
I got so much pimped out gear because of all the preorder stuff and free stuff I set it to hard to start with. It's just a shame that I got two sets of special plate mail that apparently nobody in my party will use. I feel lame just selling the blood dragon armor for extra scratch but I don't know what else to do with it.
satsugaikaze:
I think like what a lot of reviews were saying, anyone who didn't have a problem with Origins difficulty should be playing DAII on the harder ones. I had a ball dying all the time in Origins (on hard difficulty), but in Dragon Age II I think I've definitively died 2 times out of 37 hours of my game on Hard difficulty.
And honestly I don't mind. It's a refreshing change. :psyduck:
