i'm sticking with mage because usually i get bored by warriors (as sometimes they're the easy to play); been playing for some time and it really feels good.

If it arrived today you're presumably in the UK or at least Europe... can the day one DLC be downloaded now or do we have to wait till the official release day of tomorrw?

I'm gonna be rocking some 2H Warrior action, since that is what I am playing through DA:O with, but I found that Mage got a little boring in DA2. I mean, damage mage did, but playing Healer was like playing Whack-a-mole with a bunch of "special" moles who wanted nothing more to be smacked on the head, or else they feared you might forget about them entirely.... god I hated healing friendly AI...

Not played DA2 yet, but I found that mage > all on Origins :P Covers all your bases; good crowd control spells, spike/high DPS spells for strong targets; and the only means of healing w/o potions.

Mage do alot of area of effect dmg, rogue's due more dps especially on single targets, it's really up to you.

Force Mage with all those waves of baddies is fun just throwing them around. Rogue with 'assassin' stats fleshed out can one hit kill lieutenants/leaders when brittle. Mage and rogue classes are pretty close in terms of fun imo, with warrior lagging a bit behind in 3rd.

I personally love the mage npcs in the game and hate the rogue npcs. So, I'll play the rogue myself.
