Dragon Age 2 had big shoes to fill by following Dragon Age: Origins, and while it wasn't the game that many were expecting, it's still one worth playing with fun combat, an interesting story, and insight into a different corner of Thedas. Despite its innocuous setting, Dragon Age 2's Kirkwall and lore found throughout the game may hold clues to the plot of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, and anyone looking to visit the series shouldn't overlook Dragon Age 2 because of its smaller scope.
