The Arishok fight
Choosing to fight for Isabela’s freedom results in a somewhat silly but exceptionally satisfying fight. Dragon Age II’s action-based combat isn’t quite as snappy and tight as The Veilguard’s, but it has some spectacle that can keep it interesting in fights that don’t just pit you against waves of enemies being thrown at you. The Arishok fight can go a few ways depending on if he respects Hawke or not, but fighting the giant Qunari in a one-on-one duel is still one of the best combat sequences in the game. You may be in for a tough time if you haven’t spec’d into a class and build that can handle a solo fight, but in any case, taking down the Arishok and being crowned the Champion of Kirkwall is one of the defining moments of Dragon Age II
