I wouldnвЂ™t say it was a bad DLC, but itвЂ™s definitely not a must-play. Corypheus came across as more of a confused old crank than the world-ending threat he was in Inquisition. Normally BiowareвЂ™s вЂњset up the next game DLCвЂќ is amazing (see: Arrival and Trespasser), but Legacy didnвЂ™t really impress on any level. I did pick up the Legacy DLC, since it ties into Inquisition, but it was actually a bit underwhelming. I still supported Merrill and Anders at every turn, and I was still friends with Varric - is it even possible to get on his bad side? I thought IвЂ™d have to fight Avelline because I wound up with a pretty toxic relationship with her this time, but she had a last minute change of heart. I still lost Isabela (too bad I was hoping to sell her to the Qunari), but I managed not to have to fight any companions at the end. ThereвЂ™s no way in hell IвЂ™m ever going to side with the Templars in this game. I so wanted to murder him.Д«eyond that I didnвЂ™t do much differently this time compared to my first playthrough. I was disappointed he didnвЂ™t side with Meredith at the end. HeвЂ™s like AlistairвЂ™s whining crossed with VivienneвЂ™s condescension and JorganвЂ™s prickliness sandwiched between two thick slices of unrepentant spite. There have been some unpleasant Bioware companions, but this guy just might take the cake. This was also my first time playing through with Carver instead of Bethany. IвЂ™d say I recommend romancing Fenris just donвЂ™t do it as a mage if you want it to feel natural. There are some lines that make mention of how he thinks youвЂ™re one of the good ones (or words to that effect), but mostly the game kind of glosses over his mage prejudice during the romance scenes. I will admit I turned to some guides online to smooth the process. IвЂ™m coming away from that with mixed feelings.ДЇirst of all, itвЂ™s definitely possible to romance Fenris if youвЂ™re a mage and support mage freedom. One of my big goals for a second playthrough was to romance Fenris and see how he reacts to it if youвЂ™re a mage. Why on Earth didnвЂ™t this become standard for every Bioware game? ItвЂ™s such a basic convenienceвЂ¦ It has better pacing than most other Bioware games, and itвЂ™s the only Dragon Age game to date to display any particular style or personality in its art or world-building.ДЄlso, itвЂ™s so much vastly better to actually get notifications when companions have new conversations. It was interesting to revisit the game, though, and I was reminded thereвЂ™s a lot about it I truly appreciate. I really like Jo Wyatt in SW:TOR, but she just sounds a bit too refined and imperious to be believable as an underdog refugee. IвЂ™ve also come to the conclusion IвЂ™m not a big fan of lady Hawke. It was a success in that I was able to play through the game to completion, though I have to say that even with all the changes the combat did start to drag me down a bit near the end. The only really broken thing I was able to achieve was getting Fenris to 100% magic resistance. This also obviously had the effect of lowering the gameвЂ™s difficulty, but it didnвЂ™t make as much of a difference as you might expect. After a few levels, it removed virtually all the downtime from combat and made it simply dull, instead of excruciating. Of them all, the reduced cooldowns made the biggest difference. Modest Run Speed Increase: Slightly increases HawkeвЂ™s movement speed out of combat.All Specs вЂ“ All Abilities: Unlock every specialization and talent tree for every character, including companion-specific trees like Dalish Pariah or Tevinter Fugitive.Total Freedom: Remove all prerequisites on learning abilities and reduce ability cooldowns by 50%.

To keep the risk of technical difficulties low, I tried to limit the number of mods I used. IвЂ™m always paranoid about technical problems resulting from the use of unofficial software, and it feels a bit like cheating (which, letвЂ™s be honest, it is).Д«ut in this one case it seemed like an exception might be warranted. Recently I got it into my head to try playing it with some player-made mods to make the gameplay a bit more bearable.

Normally it is my habit to play through Bioware games several times to see different plot branches, but due to the bad gameplay, I never managed to get myself to play through DA2 a second time.Д«ut the desire was always there. I loved the story and the characters, but hated the gameplay. IвЂ™ve always felt rather torn over Dragon Age II.
