During my first DAO run I was enthralled by the power of choice that I had never seen before. (it was my first WRPG ever) As such, I told the thoroughly unpleasant Morrigan to go away.
I got yelled at a lot by my GF and others for this.
I really liked the changes in Morrigan's character in DA:I. She's become a lot more subtle and politically savvy.
I also love the scene where she faces off against her mother and tells her to back off her son.
Morrigan ain't so bad. She's totally just misunderstood.
I loved Origins but then I heard bad things about 2 and didn't pick it up. Is it worth doing so?
If you remember Isabela the Buxom Bisexual Pirate Rogue from Origins, she's a main character in 2.
Do you like big boats?
Isabela is brilliant. She has some fantastic lines.
Plus, her banter with Aveline (especially during the Donnic quest in Act 2) is AMAZING.
Isabela is hands down my favorite companion in DA:2 and arguably the series. Her humor is so funny, and she also has a surprisingly deep, caring side.
And the repeated environments is lazy, but ultimately I'm playing the game for the story and character development. If anything, the environments in DA:I, at times, felt slightly empty or vacuous.
