Dragon Age 2 was the highly anticipated follow-up to the smash role-playing game hit that was Dragon Age: Origins. Much to the dismay of some fans, it was a departure from the original in many negative ways. Personally, I was very disappointed by it, though I still played through the entire game and completed every mission. It still offers up tons of quests and action to keep any gamer occupied for many hours, and now that it has been out for a while you can pick it up at a discount price.Whether you have been playing the game or are considering a purchase, the information here will help you to better see what to expect from the game and to assist with some of the more difficult quests. Dragon Age 2 WalkthroughWith so many quests available in this game, you can choose how much you wish to play. Stick to the core quests and burn through the game quickly, or take your time to do the side quests to earn more experience and find better items. As the player, the choice is yours as to how much you would like to get out of the game.
That said, it's best for you to do as much as possible in order to be better prepared for the final battles. These mission guides will greatly help if you get stuck in one of them.Note: Some missions require that other missions be completed before they come available, so what you see on this complete list may not yet be playable in your game until you've unlocked them. Main Quests – Act II.Side Quests – Act II.Companion Quests – Act II.Class GuidesYou have three main class options in this game: Warrior, Rogue, or Mage. Each has abilities that counter one or the other, and the gameplay is quite different depending on your class. Warriors can do more damage and take more hits, but they lack the stealth of the rogue or the magic powers of the mage. Likewise, the mage can wield some incredibly powerful magic, but they aren't so great with a sword. Rogues are decent fighters but weak with magic, but they can get into locked doors and treasure chests with ease, plus they are great at locating traps.
Choosing which class to play is a big decision, and even more important is how you choose your specialization options as you gain levels.Romantic OptionsOne aspect of Dragon Age 2 that can greatly influence the gameplay is how the other NPC's respond to your character. Whether they love or hate you will change the way certain quests can be completed, plus their feelings can result in additional content. Sometimes the characters can become jealous of each other and this can make for some interesting conversations while out exploring. Whether it's a friendly compliment or a romantic notion, anything goes in this game, but not without consequences.Disappointed GamersNot everyone was happy with the way Dragon Age 2 turned out because it was quite different from the first game. This caused many fans of Dragon Age: Origins to be let down by this sequel or at least by certain aspects of it. Perhaps it was the recycled content and making you visit the same maps over and over, or maybe it was some of the edgier content like the abundance of gay relationships and the controversy surrounded by them. Thankfully, a few fan mods can touch it up a bit.What did you think of Dragon Age 2, or are you still waiting to play it?

Dragon Age 2 Main Quest List
So this is my first playthrough of DA2. I figured I need to do it at least once to understand some of the things in DA:I betterThat being said, I can't find anything that tells you about what order to do the quests in, etc. I've found tons of walk throughs and the names of all the quests, side quests, Act 1, 2, and 3. But nothing on chronological order for quests.
I also ask because a few times, I've gone on quests where I got slaughtered because Hawke and his team were nowhere near ready.So. Anyone have recommendations on what order to do the quests/companion quests/side quests??.
The order in which you do things basically doesn't matter. Each Act has its own set of main- and side-quests. The main ones.must. be completed to advance the story but the order is irrelevant or, if it does matter, they'll be presented in the correct order (e.g. The mission isn't even discussed until you've finished any precursors.)But. Once you've moved on to the next Act any remaining open side-quests from the previous Act cannot be completed. It's pretty clear what the 'triggers' are for each Act's finale, so you shouldn't get surprised.Getting slaughtered because you stumbled into something the party wasn't able to handle is.
'a learning experience!' Learn to run away! Well, actually it's, 'Learn not to open that door!' The quests generally have a pretty long build-up; three-or-four linked objectives that lead to the hideout of the boss bad-guy. The first couple of missions are easier, but the later ones require a tougher party to survive them.(Or, you know. There's always, 'Try a reduced Difficulty setting.'
