Dragon Age II

Dragon Age II follows Hawke, a refugee fleeing the darkspawn-plagued land of Ferelden who seeks to become the Champion of Kirkwall. Over a decade of battles and intrigue, you rise to power and make decisions that shape the course of civilization.

Story and choices

The nonlinear story spans a decade. A redesigned dialogue system gives more context to your choices as you shape Hawke into a fully realized character. Decisions in dialogue and battle affect your standing with party members, and building friendships opens up more options.

Combat and companions

You can choose from dozens of spells and fight alongside three battle companions. Combat can be played in real time or paused so you can issue individual orders and plan each move.

Ultimate Edition content

The Ultimate Edition includes the base game and three expansions: The Exiled Prince, Legacy and Mark of the Assassin. It also includes the Black Emporium item shop, the Blood Dragon Armor set, Ser Isaac’s Armor set, and Dragon Age II Bioware Signature Edition content with premium weapons and armor, including the Adder of Antiva and Seeker’s Bulwark.

The edition also contains the Dragon Age II armory bundle, with over 20 unique weapons, armor and items; the All-Class Item Pack and All-Class Item Pack II, each containing Mage, Rogue and Warrior item packs; and a High Resolution Texture Pack that provides higher-detail replacements for most game textures. The Dragon Age II soundtrack is included as well.

The expansions add further stories and content. In The Exiled Prince, family tragedy thrusts noble archer Sebastian Vael back into the religious life he left behind. Legacy reveals the harsh truth about the Hawke Lineage, while Mark of the Assassin lets you recruit Tallis, a deadly elf assassin with her own combat style.
