Dragon Age II Guide

Just when the inferno from the super smash-hit that was Mass Effect 2 began to dwindle a bit, BioWare yet again cranks up the heat on the gaming thermostat, giving us hardly any chance to cool off. Not that we're complaining, of course. At this point, the company's name has become synonymous with quality, highly immersive western RPGs. And with the induction of Dragon Age II into its long line of successful titles, it's only natural for IGN to come equipped with a scalpel ready to dissect this enormous game inside and out.

We've broken down just about every juicy bit of BioWare's newest concoction for you to imbibe. The guide is so large that if you stay here at the introduction any longer, we fear there just isn't enough time for you to read through the whole thing.

Dragon Age II Guide Contents Basics an exhaustive dissection of Dragon Age II's mechanics. Detailed walkthrough that includes a user-friendly web of all the quests in each Act and discussion of alternate pathways. Quests galore! Dragon Age II is chock full of them, but we've got them all here! An appendix that includes things you may want for adventuring in this age of dragons.
