Something you would like to change in Dragon Age 2

I don't know if I agree with that comparison.

Anders and Banner may appear to be "themselves" at points, that doesn't mean Justice and the Hulk aren't always inside of them, nor aren't potentially influencing their actions (even if only on a subconscious level) when they appear to be dormant.

The Hulk was created for a manifestation of the darker parts of Banner's psyche, while Justice's merger with Anders likewise causes him to manifest darker aspects of Anders' psyche. And much like with Banner and the Hulk, anger and rage are the primarily catalysts that bring out Justice to the forefront of Anders.

"But my anger... when I see Templars now, things I have always outraged me, but I could never do anything about, that's when he comes out."

When Hulk and Justice show up and start breaking things, but that's because Banner and Anders want to break something.

When Anders gets worked up talking about Templars to Hawke, he begins starting to glow before calming himself down. And during the Last Straw, he glows while calling out Meredith and Orisino, seconds before destroying the Chantry. Both times he remained "Anders", but Justice slipped briefly to the forefront of his personality.

Another potential view is that we only truly see Justice once in DA2.

It's during the Fade sequence, where Justice comes across as completely in-control (unless you make a deal with Torpor) and much more like the version we met in Awakening. That would therefore mean that the rest of the game, what we've really been seeing is Anders and Anders-as-Justice.

Rather than Justice being corrupted into Vengeance, it was actually Anders who became corrupted and that's what we see when he hulks out. He may be channelling the voice and power of Justice, but it's Anders (or at least the negative parts of his subconscious) really in the driving seat during those moments.

He merely deludes himself into thinking it's Justice that does those things, to spare himself the guilt after he returns to "normal".

As much as I enjoyed the game. Another thing I would change is changing your companions armor. Also Hawke and co. could've been aged 10 years, to show time passing by.

Only 7 years?  I must've gotten it mixed up with Inquisition.  Thank you for clarifying.   I reinstalled DA2 with all dlc, so hopefully I will have access to the 'Black Emporium.'

I did not know Varric's interrogation took place 3 years after the events at Kirkwall.  I always assumed it happened right after, like a few days later.  That could be another source from where I got the 10 years from.

Thanks for that.  The only game I really never knew how much time passed, was in Inquisition since I never finished that game.

9:32 The Warden-Commander of Ferelden confronts Morrigan in the Dragonbone Wastes; she leaves through an Eluvian.
So DAO takes place 9:30-9:32

Keep Anders as A Grey Warden that working with Stroud. Depending on your choices, removing Justice from Anders but keeping Justice regardless of host attacking the Chantry.

More Reasonable Templars and Mages with a more honest debate with the Circles. Of course, able to deal with Roguish elements with both. Able to tell Leandra of the serial killer is on the loose and tell her to becareful.

Depending on your relationship with Orisino and Knight Commander, One of them will use the Red Lyuirum Sword of Doom for the Boss.


And have Snarky Hawke say, "Go home and go to bed." In his snarkiness fed up voice.

With Spirit of Justice, In my head, consumed by Hate will always blows up the Chantry regardless if he stays in Anders or goes into another Mage  with an intense dislike of Templars or wanting to take down the Chantry a peg or two or a Powerhungry Tevinter Magister wanting to take over Kirkwall. True, Anders even in Awakening has issues with the Templars but for roleplaying aspects of it, appealing to his sense of Compassion to see that Justice is not the same person anymore and having an option to remove Justice from Anders for the players to have.
So having a Mage with the Corrupted Spirit of Justice that destroys The Chantry should stay as a Major plot point while making it flexible enough for players that like DAO:A Anders over DA2 Anders. 

Keeping Anders within Grey Wardens and expanding their role within Kirkwall moderately to make some degree of sense and gives an potential sidequests for Hawke and crew make money and recovering stuff that is related to the Grey Wardens or just helping them out. Just Moderate enough without outshining Qunari or Mage/Templar.

With Red Sword of Doom that Knight-Commander Meredith has, it would be an interesting boss battle if a Mage of Orisino's caliber used it. So in short having a Dedicated two hander Battle-Mage with mild Rogue elements with an known Mage.   To me, A well designed Boss should be able to break the normal rules of the Class system within the game if there is a good storyline element to it. As for me, I would have the dragon age 2 team have more time to increase the player's choice and developing even better Dragon Age 2 storyline.  I like Dragon age 2 as is but like all video games, it can be improve. 

I am not opposed in having a new plot line that Involves Tervinter getting involved in the shitstorm of Kirkwall.

 

well Anders/justice debate is for another thread. but how would you improve DA2?  True there are many ways to improve it.

That's a neat one. Would love to save one and have the other one as boss depending on your choices.

Doesn't have to be sword. Not aruging which outcome is rigth here, I's supporting mages in all of my pts (except for one for achiev and even then I reloaded). But it would be nice if your connection/support of templars/mages reflected in final outcome. That way it would actually feel like your choice mattered. Right now, no matter what we do, both leader go completely mad (well, imo, Meredith was a looney before, but not completely insane).
