Dragon Age II is an action role-playing game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts, released in 2011 for Xbox 360. It is the sequel to Dragon Age: Origins and continues the story in the fantasy world of Thedas, focusing on the protagonist Hawke, who rises from a refugee to a powerful figure over the course of a decade.
Gameplay emphasizes real-time combat with tactical pause, allowing players to control a party of characters with different abilities and classes. Players customize Hawke’s skills, appearance, and choices, which impact the story and relationships. The narrative unfolds through episodic quests, dialogue choices, and character interactions.
