So Dragon Age 2 is out in 3 months...where are the trailers?

I loved the first game and I was not very happy when I heard they were changing up the gameplay. With that said, the developer diary on the home page has made me feel much better about this game. I hope they are right in saying it will feel like Origins with needed improvements.

That's not to say I liked everything they discussed. That comment about one's party in DA:O not feeling like they were working as a team seemed strange to me. The way I set my party up had the opposite effect. I also don't like how we are restricted to playing as a human this time around.

However the game turns out, I will be buying it as I have never played a Bioware game I have not immensely enjoyed.

you all need to shut the **** up and stop whining over the fact the game is going to be different. i mean what the **** do you guys want the game to play like gothic 4?? eeeewwww just shut the **** up and stop complaining it plays like Jade empire, remember Jade empire and how cool that game was? yeah shut it with a donkeys hole, nerds.

people need to WATCH THIS!!! Dead-Memories

The game looks like a downgrade of the first.

The voice actor from Hawke reminds me of Alistair for some reason.

And it seems like they are ignoring the PC fans who love the tactical combat and want it to be more like a Baldur's Gate feel.

That fan base doesn't want a mindless hack and slash.

Dragon Age Origins was one of my favorite games so far this generation, but the more I see of Dragon Age 2 the less hyped I am for it.

You can't equip your partners or level them up? Seriously? Good going, BioWare. Well, if that's true, I'm done with DAII.DarkLink77

He's wrong. You can level up your partners and equip them. All that is known about the game so far, some minor spoilers:

[QUOTE="dommeus"]Thoughts? Should we be concerned?

Leveling them up is closer to Fable 3 than Dragon Age or Baldur's Gate. You can't equip them anything visible, rings, and accessory type items were always the last thing I cared about, a couple extra points of magic here, a little bit of HP there, but no longer can you equip arms, legs, head, body, its just fingers and belt pretty much. Also I see a number of lies and things that were changed from your link. For an example, it says the PC camera is similar to the Origins one, but that isn't true, in another interview recently they said that you can zoom out but not up, you aren't changing the angle, so its pretty irrelevant how far you can zoom out. 110million

If you read the original 1up preview of the game, where they demoed the tactical camera, it gives a better view over the battle, but it isn't isometric like in Origins. It's in the middle of third-person view and overhead. And the gameplay in PC version is mostly similar to Origins. This hasn't changed.

I don't see a big problem with that you can't give all your leftover armors to your followers. Now in DA2 your followers will wear what they are themselves comfortable with and you can still upgrade their armors/clothes. I think it should add to their personality. Only thing I'm a little bit disappointed is that I can't be an elf or a dwarf, but if BioWare'll give me a better story I won't mind that much.

I'm not sure about how they have changed the leveling and talent trees, but what I've seen they seem to be mostly similar to Origins, though there are fewer talents/spells, but this time you can upgrade and customize your talents/spells. Which one is better, we will see when the game is out.

Both console and PC versions will have auto-attack. PC version has auto-attack as a default and console versions have an option to turn it on. So button mashing is only for those, who like it that way.

I think bioware has released enough info thru previews and interviews to give people a good reason not to get too excited if you loved everything about the first game.lawlessx

So its going to be a major improvement upon the first game?

WTF bioware, stop messing with your games. For chrissakes, what was wrong with Dragon Age that they had to change everything? Hopefully it turns out like ME2 and is better, but Im holding my breath.
