Thus, my male rogue enters the world Garrett Hawke, completely with oddly effete features and wispy beard that was definitely over-texturized at the Kirkwall salon and day spa. I’m one of those oddballs that thinks the first time you play an RPG, you might as well play it the way it was designed, scripted, and written. I can’t tell you for sure, as I didn’t even try to use it. With that decision out of the way I headed off to character creation, which looks pleasantly complicated and customizable on the surface. I also chose to stick with the PC version, as clicking the ‘A’ button as fast as humanly possible just to auto-attack on the console sounded like a terrible way to relax. You can probably see why I got over my misgivings and decided this new rogue was fine by me. This rogue dual wields massive imitation Klingon Bat’leths, warps behind enemies for the perfunctory backstab, and every so often runs up to a foe, pirouettes, and stabs both blades into his chest in a massive explosion of blood and guts. This isn’t your high school D&D rogue though. I can grudgingly accept that this makes sense given the three class system, but I don’t have to like looking like a malnourished acrobat. I was wary when I first played the Dragon Age 2 demo, as the only dual wield option in the game is the rogue. It was deeply satisfying, and I looked forward to resuming my murderous ways in the sequel. I played on the PC, which meant I was able to mod the game a little to respec my talents just the way I wanted for maximum lethality. He butchered his way through the game with no remorse, permanently spattered with the blood of Tokein-esque monsters and men. Naturally, in Dragon Age: Origins I played a dual wielder, a warrior also decked out head to toe in colossal plate armor. Yes, that actually happened.Īfter the jump, Dragon Age 2 satisfies our hero’s bloodlust Why? Because he dual wields bigger weapons. I have done it throughout my gaming life, and my neurosis runs so deep that after taking one dual wield character to level 85 in World of Warcraft, I started another dual wielder of a different class and am leveling him up. I am going to use two weapons, usually swords, and hack and slash things into virtual oblivion. It doesn’t matter what type of game I’m playing, how bad the build is, or how much more I could min/max my way through with something else. I will always take the dual wield option. I’m addicted to using two weapons in RPGs.
