If this cinematic were more like how it played out in the game, Hawke would be running around in circles, hooting like Curly from the Three Stooges as he periodically tosses fireballs at the Arishok when he has a chance. This trailer would also be ten minutes long.
I remember seeing this and thinking, Cool he's an Arcane warrior and a blood mage, then the game just made you run around the room escaping while firing spells at the arishok if were a mage.
+Alice Legacy haha, yeah it could be a bit dodgy if you were a support mage. I remember beating him pretty easily with a couple builds; one was a Force specialist fire mage, basically a nuke fight, and I remember the Spirit being good, the static cage or w/e it was could lock him up and you could punish him pretty good.
Trailer!Hawke: Embraces destiny, does not show fear, engages the Arishok in melee Game!Hawke: Screams hysterically for their mabari to come back while chugging health potions and hiding behind pillars.
+darkpitofdoom2 DA2 was a shite fest compared to the original. DA3 AKA DA;I is just an open world version of DA2..Bioware has lost their edge and will never recover. CD Projekt RED destroyed Bioware wth TW3 and they have a smaller team
+darkpitofdoom2 same here even though DA2 lacked a bit, its a fun experience lol once i beat it as a rogue, im gonna use the mage for the REAL story lol
I just teared up rewatching this. After playing veilguard for 1 hr I really needed some old dragon age content to calm my self down for being so upset and disappointed
I love Dragon Age 2. Including how the Mages fight with their Staves, it's almost like a combination of Staff play combined with spell casting in a continuous movement sequence. I think other video games should try that method of game play with Mages, definitely stands out in my opinion.
The Arishok is the embodiment of what it truly means to be Qunari. The Qunari now are so weird looking and weak. They must answer to the Qun. Hands down my favorite character in DA2.
Yes. It's a good game, with a good plot. The problem I had with it was the esthetics and certain quest that was scipted strange. Look at this trailer and the concept art for the geme, they are so interesting.
Everyone in the commets is discussing whether Hawke was a blood mage in this trailer or not and I'm just sitting here wondering if I was the only person who played as a reaver.
+Isaiah Stephens but in the trailer he clearly summoned a demon (well, his hands). also, trailer hawke is a mage and thus can't be a reaver. even though reavers are so cool *.*
DAO was a VERY GOOD game, while DA2 just good. I think that's the problem, the second game was inferior to its ancestor in some ways. But DAI is definitely VERY FUCKING GOOD, and I've played ALL the games without regrets. ;D
+Suicide Malkavian I've always loved Dragon Age: Origins. Dragon Age 2 I thought was quite restricted (maybe not so many locations?) I don't know about DA:I... but I've heard it's good.
Ulfric Ruthgardsson Yep, I agree about Dragon Age 2. While you have many locations in Origins, the maps of DA2 always look the same, and you're just allowed to visit other places than Kirkwall to do quests/sidequests. It could have been an extremely good game, but it wasn't so because of EA and BioWare laziness and eagerness to get money. That was very disappointing =/ About DA: I, you should REALLY play it if you have the chance. Last week I played it again, and there's always something I didn't before, or that I haven't seen in the others gameplays. It's an amazing experience and have everything we love about this game franchise: incredible characters with incredible stories, tons of quests and sidequests, very cool looking skills, romance, and the best fights against dragons and giants EVER. (Sorry for the very long comment, I'm just such a dumb Dragon Age enthusiat, rly)
+Suicide Malkavian Nothing wrong about admiring games, especially if it's Dragon Age. Also, I don't think it's purely out of EA and Bioware laziness that DA:2 wasn't as good as the others. Knowing EA, they probably pressured Bioware to release the game early, making things half-assed.
Seriously, everyone had problems with this fight. My tank hawke just went one on one with the arishok... in a really long battle because he did like 0 damage.
Well...much time has passed since DA2 was released as well as Inquisition. So many people were down on DA2. I, however, really really really liked it. The story was very compelling and enjoyable and the fighting action was much more polished and fun than origins. True there were a few weak points, but this does not ruin what in my opinion is otherwise a stellar gaming experience! I thoroughly enjoyed inquisition as well, but the story is not as good as DA2. Loved Origins, of course!
***** OK so you had actual points. good for you. I personally thought it was a great game but you are entitled to your opinion. to be honest i liked the characters, voice acting, and combat styles. i loved the plot. and while a lot of your choices didn't have a huge impact it made more sense. you werent building an army to save the world like in DA:O and DA:I. you were just man trying to take care of his family and make a name for himself. i didnt think any character looked cartoonish except fenris. i thought it was a huge improvement in graphics. the only flaw i found in the game was the lack of maps and detail to the maps. but thats what you get when your publisher is EA and the rush the deadline
***** DA:I was one of the best games i have ever played. And the mage templar war was something i wanted to see since origins. To me only act 1 of DA2 was boring and thats because there was no plot to it except get money. Anders was one of my favorite characters and i loved merril and varrics voice was far from boring.
***** whatever man. The games are fun. DA:I was fantastically done. It had a great plot and great characters and one hell of a plot twist during the epilogue
***** your issue is that you focus too much on the books. the books are based on the games. so that means they don't matter. if the game says something different then that makes the books wrong. and the games dont give a clear picture of who to side with. most of the templars you meet are good people who fear mages a little to much. you also meet a lot of bad mages in DA2 and DA:I. the games present both sides on equal moral footing. bioware made a game that appeals to masses. they dont care what every individual fan wants, they make games that will make the most people happy. and as for the herald of andraste part, the inquisition is a religious order. what did you expect. and your character can either embrace the title or tell everyone he/she isnt holy. it adds a aspect that defines how your character feels about the power and title he/she was given. The entire story was great. it was dramatic, it had its wtf moments, and great cinematics. i almost cried when i had to choose whether to sacrifice hawke or stroud and when i thought flemath was going to steal marrigons son. the story was emotional. And as for the characters. Blackwall was awesome. iron bull was awesome. cassandra was awesome. Dorian and Varric were hilarious. Cole was weird sure, but he was an entertaining character who you were never quite sure what he was. Sera was the only character i didnt like but ive met many people who did. get over yourself and except it was a good game and was well done, but it just wasn't a game for you. if it was a shitty game then it wouldnt have won GOTY
Less than two years of development and this looks much better than The Failguard, this game is not perfect but at least it mantains the dark tone of Origins and the Qunari were at their peak in this game look and lore wise, also the Arishok was a fucking menace, what a great villain he was. This game only needed one or two years more and could have been perfect, definitely deserves a proper remake by a studio who really knows how to make videogames for gamers, give this unpolished gem to Larian Studios.
I love dragon age 2 wasn’t what I ever expected but I still liked it and words cannot describe how hyped I was when I watched this trailer. I always main as a mage and this trailer just pumped me up! !! Mind blast, blood magic bladed staff . Still so cool one of my most fav dragon age trailers
If Mage Hawke had warrior skills in this vid (Pommel Strike and Might Blow) he would do Stagger and Brittle combos all day by himself for massive damage. Just like how magi in Origins can combine spells on their own. Great.
I still dont get why people say this is a bad game. Its not, I mean it pales in comparison to origins but most games do. Dragon age 2 is a good game to me and definitely more entertaining then most games these days. I think its a solid 8/10: it has a good story/characters, better paced combat then origins but less strategic, and has a better leveling up system, but has less replay value because of the choices that are less about morals but personal belief.
It's a very average *game* and its underdeveloped - however, I personally couldnt care less about its gameplay, I only play Bioware games for the story and characters (also romances obviously). So while its a very average game, its an awesome story regardless.
6 years later and this trailer is STILL badass. It's such a damn shame that DA II suffered from rushed development, otherwise it would've been that much better.
trailer hawke: badass fight sequence with using only his staff as a spear and summoning a fade creature with blood from his wounds actual hawke: betting that the arishok will become too dizzy to fight as he runs around a pillar while chugging lyrium potions
The strategy works though, and Hawke has pretty powerful lungs from all the running around Kirkwall. He can play "catch me if you can" with Arishok all day long :)
They should either do a remake which includes the plans they had originally for the game but didn’t have the time to input properly, or make a movie or show about DA2
Man, we went from "oh yeah the morally ambiguous protag will use blood magic in a trailer to save their own life" to "I'lL HaVe YOu KNoW, I AbHoR BLooD mAgIc!" from the guy trying to destroy the world. Failguard indeed.
after playing through all three games multiple times I think 2 has the best story and companions. Gameplay elements are lacking but the story just kills it for me.
TBF this was when their fall started. DA2 and ME3 were controvesial. Still good but controversial. After this Inquisition was good but completly different game but after Inquisition it was freaking crash. Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard - all of them just completly bad. No redeem qualities, broken launches, mid to bad storylines. This is really bonkers how many bad games they put out there recently. EA must love them, I srsly dunno why they're still operating.
***** Believe me if I had the Stroud option, I'd take it. But Loghain..that's another story. As much as I love -and I mean- LOVE Hawke, I have the utmost respect for Loghain.
ElwoodCityDestroyer Axitros The Inquisitor opens a rift to the Fade and goes through it to save Hawke or at least find his remains. Inquisitor: I am sure he was around here last time I saw him. *suddenly rocks tumble down the mountain and the gigantic Fear-spider comes crawling down.* The Iron Bull: "Ah, not this shit again! *storms towards the spider and swings his axe into it´s legs* ???: "Hey don´t just attack my pet! At least ask for permission first!" *Hawke sits on the top of the giant spider, while lust-demons are laying next to his feet* Hawke: "Well, it doesn´t beat my Mabari, but it´s certainly handy when you have to go from one part of the Fade to the other"
Trailer: Badass fighting with lots of cool moves
Reality: Running around the two pillars and chugging potions
Thank the lord for those 2 pillars. The real unsung heroes
@Owliare for me it was ALOT easier to defeat him as a mage..aas a warrier I got stunned so easily
omg that's so true xD
@@alexstoll2557 mage =best it's the one in the trailer
Btw can y get that finishing spell?
Man, Varric's storytelling is really over the top.
Best comment I've read on this video.
+Citronnelle yet we never see a dwarf in one of the cinematic trailers of a dragon age game. Nor an elf for that matter
Or the fact that this trailer really didnt represent the game in anyway.
I have played the game and i know what part its supposed to represent
its just not as nearly epic of a showdown as its portrayed here hence
the comment varrics storytelling is really over the top. Thats at least
what i thought citronnelle was pointing out. I thought the game was
decent a let down yes but decent.
yawn thats not what i said and its not exactly like the trailer.
If this cinematic were more like how it played out in the game, Hawke would be running around in circles, hooting like Curly from the Three Stooges as he periodically tosses fireballs at the Arishok when he has a chance. This trailer would also be ten minutes long.
+Phlebas yep thats like how it happen for me as well
+Phlebas while failing to solve or stop any problem for the city.
Ha! Your Comment made my day!
Varric must have made this cinematic then. It's just like one of his stories
Those pillars were a godsend. Lol.
Varric made me look good in this cutscene.. It's a shame there was a lot more running around chugging potions than he bothered to write down
Fawkes Pryde whhhhyyyyyy ....!! Toooo funny !!!
I love how impressed Cassandra is when she hears about it and I’m just sitting there thinking about all the running and screaming I did
You know you're not supposed to DRINK poultices right?
Y'all just need to make a better build ;/
In ur opinion what is the best build @MEUAR
No no no, I think this trailers accurate. Hawke is a mage, got hit once and everything was nearly over. Sounds about right to me.
Oh you
Owliare Crushing Prison isn’t blood magic, it’s one of the arcane warrior abilities
funny i thought Rogues were the 1H.K.O
Jacob Reynolds the chantry might just consider it blood magic either way.
@@yang6642 however u can use blood magic to continue casting spells when you run low on mana.
I remember seeing this and thinking, Cool he's an Arcane warrior and a blood mage, then the game just made you run around the room escaping while firing spells at the arishok if were a mage.
As a warrior you just kinda poke at each other until he dies,lol
Milan Brkic and as a rouge you just run till you can go invisible, then backstab, then repeat
Or you mark for death assasinate vendeta and,if you are like me(overleveled),twin fangs and he just kinda dies.
I actually created a defensively strong mage specifically so I could play him like the trailer.
No, his mother was killed by a necromancer.
Now this is what a true Battlemage looks like in combat! Outstanding character design, combat ability and magical prowess...
DA4: no blood magic
DA2: main character uses blood magic in the trailer
We didn't know how good we had it.
Seeing Veilguard Reviews
Comes back to this: Perhaps I treated you too harshly.
That’s the entire community rn
Whose idea was it to show a mage Hawke killing the Arishok this way ? I think every mages won this fight by outrunning the thing
Haha, yeah pretty much. I just remember having to run about an cast spells before he charged me. Kinda tedious, especially in hard mode .-.
+Alice Legacy haha, yeah it could be a bit dodgy if you were a support mage. I remember beating him pretty easily with a couple builds; one was a Force specialist fire mage, basically a nuke fight, and I remember the Spirit being good, the static cage or w/e it was could lock him up and you could punish him pretty good.
i fight him head-on and im a mage. He's hard but not too hard
+Konata Carter I tried to play da2 as rogue and didn't go well...I choose mage and everything went to easy....same thing happened on da inquisition
Daniel Evangelista Being a mage was always the best in all Dragon Age games. Im a huge mage fan so i dont mind. Though, i rather be a Battlemage.
When the quarantine has you replaying the ENTIRE series
A fellow jimin stan who also plays dragon age?! Where have you been all my life?! Lol
Like we needed an excuse.
lol i just did that....with the same old choices again..
I'm gonna do this when I get the new Xbox
Let's be real, you were prolly gonna do it anyway.
It is insane how modern dragon age makes dragon age 2 look like a masterpiece
This doesn't look anything like my fight in the game, It had more running away,taking pot shots and desperately trying not to die.
Trailer!Hawke: Embraces destiny, does not show fear, engages the Arishok in melee
Game!Hawke: Screams hysterically for their mabari to come back while chugging health potions and hiding behind pillars.
LOL
Creepy Ostrich i feel like im the only mage Hawke that ran up to the Arishok and beat him to death with my staff. It wasnt easy But i atill did it xD
Me too lmao
Not all of us play on lowest difficulty.Cause thats the only way to do it without cheats or mods.
Imagine how epic this game could have been if it had been given more time in development.
Who's here to see how a real Qunari looks like?
As should have been
Here to notice that this the only DA game to have a trailer that correctly represents the game
Maybe I treated you too harshly DA2
We know why you’re here Champion, there’s nothing to be ashamed of. We all dream of the long-passed good time.

And using health potions every 5 seconds

+Axel Lifschitz Swag walk is real
Its even better compared to new dragon age 4 trailer
Arishok duel in the trailer-
Epic fight to the death!
Arishok duel in game-
Arishok: "Why are you running? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING!?"
Now THIS is a dragon age trailer, this right here
idc about the sloppy gameplay, this is still one my favorite games ever
just here to see from how high we have fallen... so sad
Even Dragon age 2 trailer was 1000 times better that you know what
6 years later and this trailer is STILL badass. It's such a damn shame that DA II suffered from rushed development, otherwise it would've been that much better.
trailer hawke: badass fight sequence with using only his staff as a spear and summoning a fade creature with blood from his wounds
actual hawke: betting that the arishok will become too dizzy to fight as he runs around a pillar while chugging lyrium potions
The strategy works though, and Hawke has pretty powerful lungs from all the running around Kirkwall. He can play "catch me if you can" with Arishok all day long :)
Oberyn vs The Mountain
Nowhere close.
Shit, Hawke isn't wearing a helmet. o.o
Mort Onmaz Must be disabled in the options. :D
The mage still has his teeth... For that matter.... His head
@@Dazen101 yeah the Arishok could actually fight and would have won if Hawke didn't use magic
one of the best trailers ever made, but for a game that could and should have been better
You too here because want to remember the time when Isabella didn't PULLING A BHARV?!
This game needs a remake
They should either do a remake which includes the plans they had originally for the game but didn’t have the time to input properly, or make a movie or show about DA2
Man, we went from "oh yeah the morally ambiguous protag will use blood magic in a trailer to save their own life" to "I'lL HaVe YOu KNoW, I AbHoR BLooD mAgIc!" from the guy trying to destroy the world.
Failguard indeed.
after playing through all three games multiple times I think 2 has the best story and companions. Gameplay elements are lacking but the story just kills it for me.
One of my fav games and best gameplay .
GladX I feel sorry for you
+GladX the game was really fun I agree, but it was a bit choppy in the story department, but overall I enjoyed it greatly
You don't have standards on video games then.
+Hydronair I like tall good looking blonds, is that enough ?
Not how I truly remember it, but this was back when BioWare games were still good!
TBF this was when their fall started. DA2 and ME3 were controvesial. Still good but controversial. After this Inquisition was good but completly different game but after Inquisition it was freaking crash. Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard - all of them just completly bad. No redeem qualities, broken launches, mid to bad storylines. This is really bonkers how many bad games they put out there recently. EA must love them, I srsly dunno why they're still operating.
Coming here to cleanse my eyes after Veilguard
Perhaps I have treated it you too harshly 😢
(THIS is a Qunari. Not that Veilguard doll...)
Old times, when qunari looked amazing!
I so wish they made a f!Hawke version of this.
Yeah, that'd be awesome.
I was with this face:
:c
When i saw male Hawke and not Female one, she's so op
@@barbara457890 well she does have the same voice actor as Ciri from The Witcher 3 who is known as The Lady Of Space And Time
THE META knew Female Hawke's voice actress was familiar
Jo Wyatt is the BEST
"Corypheus is mine." You died a champion Hawke. We all mourn you.
***** Believe me if I had the Stroud option, I'd take it. But Loghain..that's another story. As much as I love -and I mean- LOVE Hawke, I have the utmost respect for Loghain.
We Started this then its our duty to end it. Your job is to REBUILD! said hawke then he said "Corypheus is mine"
katsupoi24 more likely he'll takeover the fade
The cannon Hawke(in Biowares book canon) was a blood mage, he would make the fade his bitch.
ElwoodCityDestroyer Axitros
The Inquisitor opens a rift to the Fade and goes through it to save Hawke or at least find his remains.
Inquisitor: I am sure he was around here last time I saw him.
*suddenly rocks tumble down the mountain and the gigantic Fear-spider comes crawling down.*
The Iron Bull: "Ah, not this shit again!
*storms towards the spider and swings his axe into it´s legs*
???: "Hey don´t just attack my pet! At least ask for permission first!"
*Hawke sits on the top of the giant spider, while lust-demons are laying next to his feet*
Hawke: "Well, it doesn´t beat my Mabari, but it´s certainly handy when you have to go from one part of the Fade to the other"
