Dragon Age II

Dragon Age II is the sequel to BioWare's Dragon Age series of role-playing video games and was released on March 8, 2011 in North America and March 11, 2011 in Europe. Unlike Dragon Age: Origins, the main character's race cannot be changed; however, the character's appearance, gender, class and first name are all fully customizable. Hawke, the main character, is a Lothering refugee who rises to power and becomes the Champion of the Free Marches. Dragon Age II is set in the same world as Dragon Age: Origins, but takes place in the Free Marches.

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

1. Install corefonts, fontfix, dotnet20, vcrun2005, vcrun2008, d3dx9 and winxp via winetricks.
( winvista/win7 have some sound issues in dialogs, I haven't any way to fix it ).
2. Download game via EA Download manager ( or just copy installed one from other place )
3. Download activation breaker from some dirty site ( sorry, but no way to activate game now )
4. Run wine $GAMEDIR/bin_ship/DragonAge2.exe
5. Try to kill this Ogre! :)
