|modes=Single-player }} ''Dragon Age II'' is an action role-playing video game developed by BioWare, and published by Electronic Arts. It is the second major game in the ''Dragon Age'' franchise. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Mac OS X on March 8, 2011 in North America, March 10, 2011 in Australia and March 11, 2011 in Europe. Set in the same mythical world introduced in ''Dragon Age: Origins'', the player assumes the role of Hawke, a human mage, warrior, or rogue who arrives in the city of Kirkwall as a lowly refugee but becomes its legendary champion over a turbulent decade of political and social conflict. The game received relatively positive reviews, with most criticisms directed on differences between ''Dragon Age II'' and ''Dragon Age: Origins'', such as the removal of the origin stories and race choices, the noticeably smaller world, and the combat system. ==Gameplay== ''Dragon Age II'' is a role-playing game. The player starts the game by creating a character whose family name is "Hawke". The player decides the given name, gender, appearance and combat specialty (role) of Hawke. Hawke can be either a warrior (who wields sword, axe, mace and shield), a rogue (who wields dagger or bow and arrow) or a mage (who wields a magical staff and uses magic). The player is not only in control of Hawke. From the very start of the game, the player gains access to several companions who accompany Hawke in and out of the battle. The player may choose up to three companions to bring along. (The rest remain in reserve.) Hawke's companion characters are Bethany, Carver, Aveline, Varric, Fenris, Merrill, Isabela and Anders. ''The Exiled Prince'' expansion pack adds Sebastian Vael. These characters have their own dedicated background and plot. (For more information, see '.) In a battle, the player can switch between party members (including Hawke) and order each member individually. The player may pause the game in order to better manage what each party member does, allowing the player to coordinate the characters to maximize combat efficiency. For instance, the player may have the party's mage freeze an enemy while a party warrior shatters the frozen enemy to pieces. After a battle, the player may loot the enemy for money and equipment. The spoils of war may be used to better outfit the party members. Battle also yields experience which can be used to unlock new combat abilities for each character. Outside battle, the player gets to control Hawke's interactions. When a dialog occurs, the player gets to choose what Hawke asks or answers. ''Dragon Age II'' features a fully voiced Hawke,〔 (which is part of the reason the main character's race is fixed) and a new dialog wheel based on the dialog system from the ''Mass Effect'' series. Saved information can be imported from ''Dragon Age: Origins'' as well as ''Dragon Age: Awakening''.
