Kojima once told me in a dream, "Just do it." Then he dunked on Jupiter's rings... That's why I started this channel-to overthink about video games instead of all my other problems.
Age of Empires II was my first love

You're Never Done With Dragon Age: Origins
Просмотров 7325 месяцев назад
Since Dragon Age: Origins was released, it has become one of those games that I can't stop playing, and I don't think I will in the near future. It's about something that goes beyond nostalgia, and I tried to reflect that here. This is my first video, so sorry for any script or editing errors, but hey! From now on I can only improve. I hope so at least. Maybe you can follow me too at: Twitter: ...
This was beautiful. I’m shocked that your channel is so small. Subscribed!
Slowly but surely, we’ll get there :) Thanks a lot for your comment!
What a great esse! Good job, you said something what i always felt about the games but never expressed that so right way.
Thank you so much! :)
I know how you feel chap. My experience was very similar, only with Age of Mythology instead. It kick-started my imagination, and created a love of games, history, mythology, fantasy and epic stories that has made me who I am today. :)
AoM is such a great game too! I still remember the unit dialogues hahhah Thanks a lot for your comment :)
@RokkoFonso Prostagma! You are welcome, sir. :)
There is love and melancony in your words, and I thank you for that.❤
Hahha must be my age showing 😂 Thanks so much for your comment ❤
When im 10 yo all i want to do is "how do you do to turn this on" and go brrrrrrr.....
hahaha same here. Thanks for your comment!
I first watched your video on inquisition and i honestly just love the types of videos put out and the quality is amazing - I genuinely thought you were a much larger RUclipsr, and you freaking deserve to be! I foresee your channel getting really big one day and I’m glad I got to be here at the start! I love that you choose to talk about games that you love and the passion really shows!
Reading this makes me so happy and gives me the boost to keep going. Thank you for being here from the start of something I hope goes far... and even if it doesn’t, it’ll totally be worth it anyway :)
Thank the algorithm for recommending me this video.
And thanks to you for commenting :)
Great video man! We love this game!!!
Thanks for your comment! :)
It was one of my first games as well, though my first love was Doom 2. But AoE2 is still on my "best 10 videogames of your life" list, so I totally agree with your points about it. It's a great game, highly replayable, though I haven't been playing it for decades, since I've been away from videogames for many years. But I'm slowly getting back and I'm definitely planning on getting the Definitive Edition (it's in my Christmas wishlist, together with Space Marines II and The Expanse: A Telltale Series Deluxe Edition).
Ooh, Doom... one day I’ll talk about that masterpiece too. And welcome back! :) Hope you enjoy it and find the time to play... it’s totally worth it (coming from a 30-something who’s still gaming hahaha). Thanks for your comment!
@RokkoFonso I had to edit the post, because after writing it I realized it was Doom 2, not Doom. Talk about age and memory loss ^^". As for AoE2 Definitive Edition, if I won't receive it for Christmas, I'll buy it anyway ^^.
@@mrmaster9801 An absolutely beautiful game as well, no doubt :) Thanks!
Absolute same sentiment man. I still remember my friend giving me an extra disc he had and it, without hyperbole, changed my life. Has to be my most played game as a teen and younger.
Crazy how one game can leave such an impact... It’s one of those that just stays with you forever. Thanks for yout comment!
honestly my only gripe with 2 was the forced character. i don't mind the characters having voices, inquisition was proof a custom character can still be voiced in the DA series. but having to play as either "this guy" or "this girl" was not fun.
I think DA2 aged like fine wine, given how DAV turned up to be.
Hawke will always be my hero.
Thanks for starting straight up with spoilers, you douche. I guess you were too lazy to announce that.
Each of these games is good in its own right. Origins had to be good or the series would have died and it can give you a very heroic journey, if you play it that way. DA 2 is rushed, but it is nice to have a game where you try and you can not change a thing, despite attempting. Inquisition has maps, I do not know what they lead to and too many collection quests, but has a great atmosphere and here and there some points, where you had to question yourself. Veilguard has many flaws in its heavy handed writing and the romance plots are a joke ( a joke with huge, massive potential thou), but it is fun and some character and some things add a nice touch. I had not yet the time to play through the dlcs yet, but intent to and adding the element of being able to letting go of power is a nice new aspect.
Eh. Dragon age is dead to me. Now mass effect is next. What a shame.
Inquisition is a game where the sum of its parts is far greater than each one individually. There are better combat systems (even within the DA series arguably). There are more interesting companions in the series. It's a good looking game, but there were still better even at the time. It all accumulates to a very deep and unique experience. The sort of "final gasp" of "Old Bioware". I remember being so hyped about the DA Keep. It genuinely saddens me the current group at Bioware don't have near the same level of respect or care for the previous content. I struggled with deciding between the Qunari and the Chargers my first playthrough. Knowing what comes after, the decision is easy, but that first time, before you know the details of the final battles, it feels so important to have Qunari aid. And if you took time in Skyhold you already had so much time to get to know Bull and the Chargers so they're genuinely "friends" by then too. That was just the first example that came to mind.
Inquisition has got to be one of my favorite ideas for an RPG ever. It may not be perfect, but it’s easily one of my personal favorites and it’s tied with Origins for as best in the series.
I love DA2 and my charming Hawke and all her besties. They're not perfect people but they're what she has left. This game is so good despite the absolute hardships it faced in development. I am sad that it faced so much scrutiny for just being different and ruining Hawke's chance to be a more influential role in DA going forward.
I feel the same... it’s like Hawke’s importance got really downplayed, even though there was so much potential, probably because of the game’s bad reception :( But hey, with all the remakes these days, if DA saga ever gets one, I think DA2 has the most to gain. Thanks for your comment!
I remember playing DA2 right after Origins, and I can't remember a greater disappointment and confusion I experienced from a video game. Even Cyberpunk at release does not come close to that experience.
Veilguard could've built upon the idea of Power and the responsibility of it or how it corrupts you. But no. We got Le Marvel Dialogue and Characters with Le Swords & Shields and Le Dragons
i miss this game so much, but i don’t feel like having a second playthrough. the first time i played it it was very special for me, i idealized it in my head. i’m disappointed with veilguard, it just doesn’t feel connected to inquisition despite having solas as the “antagonist”. it feels bland. i’ve seen some people saying rook is a more interesting protagonist than the inquisitor, and i don’t agree. they’re different. the inquisitor was thrown into the story, and suddenly had political power and an army. meanwhile, rook is just that guy with friends and contacts. also, veilguard’s companions have the same depth as a plate of soup. it took me half of the game to empathize with them, unlike inquisition. i’m not hating on veilguard, in fact, i’m playing it and spending my time on it for a reason, but i don’t enjoy it as much as inquisition ❤️🩹
I haven’t finished Veilguard yet, so I can’t really say much hehe but I think I get your point. It’s hard to beat that first time finishing a game, especially if that game is Inquisition. Thanks so much for your comment!
@ thanks to you for making this video :)
inquisition made lived my life now. How i think,how i see things at times without it i wouldn't be here
DA2 is easily my favorite Dragon age, and frankly its not close. Everyone is always goes on and on about origins but to me its at the bottom of the list. Its Exodus(2), Veilguard, Inquisition, Origins. Not saying origins is a bad game, but outside the unique starts i personally never really enjoy doing return play throughs past the opening.
I think that’s one of the great things about the DA series... each game is so different from the others that there’s something for everyone, even if some people feel DA should only be one way. Thanks for your comment :)
It was my favorite of the series. An unpopular take for a long time. Regardless the smaller stories, the larger narrative, haunted me. I felt incredibly powerless to alleviate the suffering of the characters around me without paying a cost that was excruciating. Great writing.
Thanks for your comment! This game definitely has its own reasons to be a favorite for some, no matter what others say :)
for me DA2 is like a good book or a fanfic. Actually I think it IS A BOOK, because actually Varric is the narrator (or rather unreliable narrator) who tells the story of Hawk to Cassandra (and us)! So it adds special charm to the game. Storylike narrative is perfect for those circumstances (as I see it) that's why I generally enjoyed the game 3 times I played (I plan to play more ofc)
I firmly believe that DA2 is a good game. It's not the best but it's essential for so many things in the universe itself. Each companion has grand, amazing, vivid personality that you can't forget. I personally LOVE Varric I can't explain with words how much I love him and especially his connection to female Hawk. Of course some parts of the game were crazy repetitive but all that Ozamar and Mage Tower shit in DAO was repetitive too or at least close to it
Totally agree! So many aspects of the story and characters make the game's flaws not matter as much. Thanks for your comment :)
Also all the quests you mentioned are so impactful so well done that you reference them in different real life occasions- voting and revenge and even love! Anyway, just wanted to add that I olso love this game hahahjajah thanks, cool video! ❤
Thank you so much for your comment, really <3
What I love the most about DA:O is the music! It's just so so so perfect, suits the game PERFECTLY
DA2 and DA:I also have wonderful soundtracks ❤
@@annaershis3894 Yeah! DAIs main theme has no right to be that epic, and DAV’s has some highlights (couldn’t expect any less from Hans Zimmer), but DAO’s music is on another level, its just amazing <3
@@RokkoFonso Yes! Exactly! Right now I think I only like Nevarra soundtracks or rather Emmerich soundtracks idk, all the others are good ofc but nothing more. In the previous games music was unforgettable! in a way that you could sing to yourself while doing something. but what Hans Zimmer did, well, it's epic, but... I don't know, maybe I'm being too picky... It's not surprising, the company used soundtracks from Mass Effect and past games in the Veilguard. I get their points + it makes my heart melt when I hear familiar tunes
All I really wanted to say is that I'll never forget "The Dawn Will Come" momet when everyone sang together! Mindblowing experience
@@annaershis3894 I didn’t know that about the Mass Effect songs! But yeah, it makes sense. And the "Dawn Will Come" scene is so great, it gives me chills.... I’ve never been a big fan of musicals, and it feels a bit awkward when people randomly start singing in movies, but in DAI it just works hahahha
wait...I came for the content and stayed for the VOICE ❤
Inquisition for ne was the best dragon age ever i hope they will fix veilguard but that hope is dwindling day by day
It’s surprising that more people haven’t talked about this. Inquisition has always had a special place in my heart because not only does it give you personal power, it also gives you political power. Your choices have so much weight, and the cause & effect aspects are on a whole other level. Love it!
I played the first 3 games and found fun in each one. Might someday play DA Veilguard if its given for free. But DA Vielguard has inspired me to play the other games again.
This video makes me want to play again. I never finished on pc but looks like it’s time to bring out the console lol
good luck! :)
The REAL POWER comes through the Keeps man! DG:V was a junk ... can't play DA:O right now.
A lot of people hated Keep when it first came out, but honestly, I think its a good solution... its even fun to use haha Thanks for your comment!
@RokkoFonso It's fine as in-game tool but it's just bloody annoying outside of that. I will use gibbed save editors fine but those are fast to use, no bullshit UI.
@@IgnoreMeImWrong Liked already! I've used lot of times save editor, since my man wrote it :), comes handy!
@@IgnoreMeImWrong An in-game solution would’ve been ideal, you’re right… but I’d still take Keep over not being able to import my past decisions at all. That said, the UI could definitely use some work... maybe I just learned to like it over time hahhaha
@RokkoFonso I doubt you truly like it, it's more likely that you learned to accept it because it is what you were given and all you got. If you had the choice between Keep and a similar but slightly faster editor you'd probably choose the editor, as would most people. I'm happy to spend hours of painful modding to play a game I don't like without mods. I accept the former because the latter is worse.
well well you've got yerselv a new subscriber ma'e, waiting on your DA:V video eagerly. *proceeds to stare intensely at monitor*
Im working on that video :) Its not ready yet, but it's coming along hahha Thanks!
Thats a quality content my mate. Dont quit, you have the talent to get many more veiwerses
Thanks so much for your comment :') it really means a lot!
what face mod you're using?
in nexus mods, "Unique Face Textures for Companions" by Ellise :)
@@RokkoFonso ALSO, how do you get that Hawke conversation with his mother in 16:00? I don't remember that part.
@@IMBREISGAU That's the last scene of the Legacy DLC! It only appears if you play it after "that" mission about his mother. To be safe (and get better gear too) I recommend playing Legacy and Mark of the Assasin right before the final mission (when you get the letter) :)
@@RokkoFonso Thank you, this is a great video :)
@@IMBREISGAU Thanks! glad you liked it :)
Thanks It's still my favorite game ❤ 😂 and I was sick of grifters talking crap of something they don't know about it.
Great video!! Are you a Solasmancer? AND: will you make a DATV video as well? (pls!)
The gameplay I used for this video was the first time I romanced Solas, just because I wanted Trespasser to hit even harder hahha No regrets... it was the best choice. And yeah, I’ll be making a video about DAV :) Not sure how soon though, since I’m taking my time with it and planning to play it more than once so I can add something fresh to the conversation... I feel like just saying it’s the best or the worst doesn’t really add much at this point. Thanks a lot for your comment!
The plot of Veilguard feels more interested in taking pages from Origin and 2’s books than Inquisition a lot of the time, and that’s fine. They’re both good games that resonated with me. But damn, I hope we someday get another game like Inquisition, especially now that we’re in the north. What would a power like the Inquisition look like with the resources of Tevinter at its fingertips?
That's a really interesting premise! and I think it's about time we got a DA game where we can explore the whole world, including Par Vollen... thanks for your comment :)
Great video, it captures one of the main themes of Inquisition excellently. Inquisition is to me the best DA game. I just recently finished Veilguard (which I loved - best combat in the series), but it sure doesn’t hit the height of Inquisition in many regards. I also love Origins, which feels like my first love, but among all, I think none has made me feel like Inquisition.
Hey! Thanks so much for your comment :')
Nope. Still only three games.
I tried to play Dragon Age: Origins when it came out in 2009 but lost interest and didn't finish it. I didn't bother to play the other games in the series. However, this video makes Inquisition sound intriguing. I might give the game a try. Wonderful analysis!
the games get better with age and playthroughs in my experience. i fell in love with DAO and DAI on my second playthroughs. DA2 however i adored from the start. by my third playthroughs of all the games (except datv so far) i became an uber fan. they get better each run bc you notice so much more lore and little details and they start to mean a lot to you.
They're amazing games, totally worth every second :) I also agree with what carly said... the deeper you dive into the lore, the more fun it gets. Thanks for your comments!
Nice video king.
After the veilguard's release i decided to replay the inquisition. While not objectively best game in the series it's my favourite precicely for the reasons you've mentioned. Sometimes the game clearly favours one decision over the other but you still have a choice. I spend a lot of time thinking about every little decision because... It feels so important. This game truly makes me feel the weight behind my character's words and actions. I like to truly immerse myself in a character i'm playng and think about how their background would make them act even if their actions don't align with my own moral compass. And tbh i geniunely feel bad about hurting my companions with bad decisions so i'm usually being nice anyways. But i do it because i want to, because they are charming and loveable, not because i have no choice... And another little thing - despite many people call the world of DAI empty, i think quite the opposite - it feels alive. The npcs in Skyhold and major cities talk with enough variation to their lines and do a lot of actions like training and stuff, so places feel lived in. Not to mention the quests and tasks at war table that humanize your forces. Refugees need blankets. Your army needs a water source. The soldiers are people and they have friends and family and their own little dramas. Yeah the sheer amount of those side quests makes even me sick but i admire the way it makes your whole organisation believable. I'd like to quote a note that makes me tear up a litle every time i see it. This.. This is what Inqusition is about. "Maker, give me strength. When the darkspawn came to Denerim, I wept so hard that I could not see, but still I fought for You. When demons poured from the sky where the Temple of Sacred Ashes used to stand, my hands shook so badly that I could not aim my bow, but still I fought for You. When Corypheus and his Archdemon destroyed Haven and killed my friends, I screamed until I had no voice, but still I fought for You. They are sending me to attack Adamant. They say that the fortress is defended by an army of demons, and the odds are grim. We cannot win, but our distraction, our sacrifice may give the important people the chance to do what is necessary. My stomach is knotted, and I see dead friends from old battles reaching out for me every time I close my eyes. I am so afraid, Maker. But still, I will fight for You."
Wow... that quote really hits hard. I totally agree with you. Games are a lot more fun when you put a bit of yourself into them, especially in RPGs, where character-building can go way beyond the game's limits. With a little imagination and commitment, you can add so much more depth to any character. That’s how I play at least, and I bring that mindset to a lot of genres, not just RPGs... one day I'll make a video about it hahha Thanks for the inspiration and for your comment :)
It's the fact that everyone finds their own joy and meaning in each game that makes them so great. I have always perceived DAI as a game about faith, about the power it gives people literally and figuratively, and what catastrophic consequences it can lead to. This game is about faith that gives hope and purpose, about faith that blinds and deafens, about faith that destroys states, be it Maker, Andraste or elven Creators. This game got me into heated debates with my husband about faith and purpose, even though I'm an atheist. Also, I have never felt such a kinship with the protagonist as in the Inquisition. I literally became my Inquisitor, what an amazing experience. I think haters always have something to complain about in every game, but I don't let it take away the joy of playing it. This applies to the new game too. you can find joy in anything as long as you look for joy and not hate. it was really interesting to see a different perspective, it made me think about the game again, and if something makes you think, it's something good. Thank you very much!
First of all, thank you so much for your comment! You bring up a really interesting perspective, and it definitely got me thinking :) I also completely agree with your last point-if someone enjoys something you don’t, there's nothing worse than trying to ruin it for them, especially when it comes to video games, which are meant to make us happy. Thanks again!
Hey just dropping by to say I really agree with & appreciate your last point. Look for the light ❤
@@Quyeningellvar thank you, kindness is a rare spirit these days
One of the hardest choices on Inquisition for me was deciding who stayed behind and the fate of the wardens. I wish we could see the hero of ferelden also. Mine is still alive in inquisition and seeing them and Alistair would bring me such joy. There is so many choices I would like to see. 😅 Like how is Iron Bull feeling with the whole aantam thing. Talking to Cassandra about Varric accident. Talking to Leliana about how things were. Ugh, I'm sad, I miss those characters so much
Well, you’re not alone, I miss them too now :') hahaha Thanks so much for your comment!
THEORICALLY, we should had seen the HoF in DA4, since what we read in a letter to the inquisitor from the HoF him/herself. Saddly, we all know what happened with DA4 😅 Imagine a weisshaupt mission with HoF, Hawke, inquisitor and the new protagonist. As king Cailan once said: GLORIOUS!
@@alessandrogarofalo9951 I read somewhere that the HoF would have appeared for the Grey Warden's mission up to Adamant Fortress, but got scrapped last minute and replaced by Stroud. But yeah, my HoF married Anora and had Alistair as warden, one of the hardest choices in Inquisition
I’ve always thought of the dragon age games as an extended meditation on heroism. No game teases the question “who are you when you have power?” Quite like inquisition. It falls short sometimes, but your video talks about the exact reasons why I love this game! Subscribed for sure!
Thank you so much for your comment and subscription :)
I once saw a video about Dishonored, also went along the lines of "who are you when no one can stop you", which I thought was quite fitting and how it plays out. It is very different game than Dragon age, but if this concept is interesting to you, I would advise to give it a try :)
Maaan, that was a good video. Will be back!
Thanks so much! Hope to see you around for the next video (no idea when that'll be, but it'll happen haha)
