The combat system was actually pretty darn excellent once you figured out how to get everything working. It was like the rest of the game, really.

Same old stuff. It's like repeats on the tv.

Dragon Age is my fav sp RPG ever and racked up something like 250 hours on it ... so amazing it's impossible to explain heheheh, but like Mass Effect 1 and 2 I think I'll prefer the original over the "polished" sequals screw meta critic scores ...

See guys, this is why chris is awesome. :santahurg:

No thread on this? You guys are slacking. So it's out in march and looks pretty much the same, but that doesn't bother anyone I don't think?

From what I've read it has nothing to do with Dragon Age 1, as in you don't play the Warden or anything like that. Instead you play a guy called Hawk! Who has a serious look about him and a beard.

Flemeth is in it though, and I thought Kate Mulgrew did and awesome job voicing her in the first. So that's something to look forward to. I like how your character still stands there ramrod stiff.

And what's up with the human females leg? Looks broken

Shameless copy paste from bio forums:

General:

DA2 will be released on March 8th, 2011 (in North America) and March 11th, 2011 (in Europe) [FAQ] for PC, XBox 360, and PS3 [FAQ]

DA2 is a single-player game [Chris Priestly]

There is no "morality meter" in the style of Mass Effect's Paragon/Renegade meter [David Gaider]

Decisions made in DA:O will show up in future iterations of the DA universe. [Podcast - Episode 1]

"Our intent is to include information and decisions from Awakening as well as Origins into DA2." [Mike Laidlaw]

Setting:

DA2's story will span 10 years [press release], [David Gaider]

This timeline partially overlaps that of Dragon Age: Origins, and Hawke's story begins in Lothering shortly before it is destroyed by the Darkspawn. [GameInformer article]

Events from Dragon Age: Origins may be seen from a different viewpoint [GameInformer print article]

Hawke escapes the destruction of Lothering with "his family" and he eventually makes his way to Kirkwall [Podcast Ep. 1] in the Free Marches [Five Facts]. Kirkwall is located on the southern edge of the Vimmark Mountains, north of Ferelden [this map].

Storyline/Plot:

“Dragon Age II has a framed narrative structure, which means that the exploits of Hawke occurred in the past, but are being retold in the present.” [GameInformer magazine article]

Cassandra is interrogating Varric the Dwarf on the actions of Hawke over the last 10 years to better understand how the world came to be on the brink of war. [Podcast Ep. 1]

"No exclusive organization. No saving the world. No ancient evil." [David Gaider]

"The player decides whether Hawke is a kind ruler or an unscrupulous despot. He's called Champion - the question is: 'By whom?'" [GameStar Sept 2010 article]

Flemeth saves Hawke and co. and asks that he deliver a package for her in repayment. [iGN] 08/22

Boons granted at the end of Origins may be mentioned and/or affect the story of DA2 and in the future. [David Gaider - 54:05], [David Gaider] 09/15

I'm eager to play this, but I was kind of hoping for a continuation of the firsts story. But I realise not everyone would want that and would prefer something new, but oh well.

:santahurg:

DON'T MENTION THE WAR

I don't like watching depressing films. The end of the lord of the rings depressed me enough. Because it ended.

Yeah I watched this trailer last week and thought "Oh great, another 2012 disaster movie. Oh, wait. It's not. Cool!"

Quote from Bunglo

I WOULD be playing BFBC2: Vietnam if Steam had their shit together and posted the message that BC2 needs to be owned through Steam in order to play BEFORE I pre-ordered it... Still waiting for support to respond to my refund question

Yeah, this was quite a mess up; but also the game constantly crashes, bluescreens and reset everyone's stats.

Quote from Seldoon182

It's the UK version

Sorry man

Just did a quick edit for private jimmy as well.

American History X

Leon

Saving Private Jimmy

And I can't think of 10.

Did no one else get 300 flashbacks?

Hey chris, NOT COOL man! But come on e-freak, quit being so hoity toity about some water. It was a yes or no question :santahurg:

Why are you PMing it to him, is it top secret or something? Must be photoshopped in

Quote from Serenius

I'm going to wager a guess that if it can run on an Xbox 360 and PS3 (probably at 720p), then it should run fine on most computers that aren't from 1994.

I'd wager a guess that it's aggressively gimped to run on the ancient 360. PS3, no problem. But still, those shots are basically what you will never see as an average gamer when you play it. basically it should say: "This is how good this game CAN look. But for you, WONT look."

The facial animation and what they have captured is sweet. But as in terms of looks, it seems about 2 years old. But I love 40's style noire so will totally play this.
