Created to make navigating the blog easier.
Dragon Age II was released on March 11, 2011, and is a remarkable game, a sequel to one of the best role-playing games in recent years - Dragon Age: Origins.
It also released DLCs “The Exiled Prince,” “The Black Emporium,” “Legacy,” “Mark of the Assassin,” and two weapon packs. An anime titled "Dawn of the Seeker" was also released. Currently, support for the game has ceased in connection with the development of Dragon Age III.
The number of posts in the blog has exceeded 300.
INTRODUCTION
Blog posting rules:
Before creating a post, make sure there is no similar one in the blog (duplicate posts will be sent to the trash).
If you copy information from other sources, be sure to provide a link to the source.
Try to format your post so that it is pleasant and convenient for people to read; blocks of unbroken “walls of text” are not welcome, especially if they are “copy-pasta.”
Posts consisting of 2-4 sentences (in the style of “I can’t beat the boss...”, “Could you tell me where...?”), uninformative posts created for the sake of debates and “farming” likes, posts with very poor spelling/punctuation, etc. may be deleted at the discretion of the blog overseer (please take this constructively).
Especially for newbies.
