I have questions about dragon age 2?

im going to buy it soon and i dont want to be too lost on what to do



1) if im a mage can i also heal any party members?

2) do i get to customize my characters outfit or only their apperence

3) what kind of gameplay does it have (final fantasy, legend of zelda)

4) is it a long game because if its not then im not buying it (because it would be a waste of money to buy a game that only lasts 10 hours)I have questions about dragon age 2?
1 - yes, given you get the necessary class branches

2 - You customize your characters head, and photo, and can choose what armour to give them, but not much image customization after that.

3 - Same as the first dragon age, and the Star Wars KOTOR games, it is turn based combat in an open-world RPG setting.

4 - YES, very long, I don't ahve the DLCs and I have played it regularly (atleast 2-3 hours a weeknight) and even more on the weekends, and I have yet to beat it after having it for 2 and a half weeksI have questions about dragon age 2?
1) Yes but you have to pick the abilities

2) You can pick your main character's outfit through armor but not your party members.

3) If you've ever played a Bioware game there's really no true comparison. The closest I could think of would be Fable with less vulgarity and more story. More so just because of the whole 'your choices have consequences' thing. You can easily play through a Bioware game ten times and find something new each time and playing them is even better when you link them to a previous game because then you get to see the product of your choices in the last game.

4)It can be. Even doing only the basics it will be longer than ten hours (mostly because of all the plot and the first section of the game where you're pretty much forced to do minor quests). If you play all the side quests it will be much MUCH longer, not even mentioning DLC.I have questions about dragon age 2?
1) Yes, you can learn the heal ability.

2) You can change your characters facial appearance and use different amours ect.

3) Not sure what to say, it is similar to origins but I would say origins is a bit better.

4) It depends on your difficulty setting and how many side-quests you do, but a ruff estimate is between 25 and 40 hours.
