Full voice acting for the main character as in ME, and turn based combat.

[DarthValo81]

-That it will be stripped of most of its RPG elements and we'll be left with and RPG-lite ala ME2

-Fully voiced PC. What's wrong with reading the line, pressing the button and having the NPC respond? I don't need to hear "my" character speak.

-That instead of emails about our choices from DAO we get codex entries. I get that we're not playing the same character but at least some of the choices we made in DAO should have an impact on the game world.

-That it will become more like a Fable/ME mix than a DA sequel.



I hope I'm wrong, I really do.

My worst fear is lack of character interaction. It just not the same without the banter and conversations. but it could be a-lot more like Lilana's song. I really like that, but it is too short.

My one fear is that by making it new they lose the way it harks back to classic RPGs. Although the website says "think like a general" so I'm guessing tactical combat will still be in. They're just going to "awesomise" it, as it were. My other fear I suppose is that it wont live up to the first.

My concerns: Well where should I begin?

No closure at all with my Warden from DA:O. Awakening was a crap game and now they are to release DA:2 and we will be forced to play a male character - WTF is that all about? I think this is a load of garbage and I have no interested in this game whatsoever. I knew a DA:2 title would be absolute shyt and would have no carry over or tie up any the loose ends for my PC from DA:O. The reason DA:O was such an absolute success was because of the outstanding companion interactions, romances and fantastic storyline. I could care less about DA:2 and will NOT be purchasing the game because the storyline will not interest me in the slightest. There are plenty of other games out there with 'Better combat tactics" but non that can rival the stellar RP experience that DA:O gave us.

Oh, another fear. Lack of replayability. The absence of race selection kind of hints at this. I liked ME2, but after the 2nd playthrough, I can't stand playing it again. I played Origins 5 times and still planing for more.

ME is different , we had John Shepard from the beginning , yes we could customize hes looks but that was unnecessary , In DAO we could create our own character , give him a name and customize hes appearance , and that was the reason I preferred DA over ME.

My worst fear is that it'll be too short. The reason i love RPG's is because they usually have a lot more play time than other singleplayer games.

It's already been confirmed that we can play as a female character.

Limited Customization and Very Limited Input on how your character plays out

This. 
I was never a fan of the dialogue wheel in Mass Effect. If BioWare threw up some screenshots of the good, old trusty dialogue list and leaves the Main Character unvoiced I'll be as happy as a pea in a pod.

My fear list:

1) DA2 rejecting it's RPG origin (lovely how this word suits here) and thus becoming some action-adventure-whateva.

2) A great comeback of our old "loved" traveling companions (say hello to Leliana, my worst nightmare).

3) No romances.

[sydranark]

my fear is that the darkspawn will ACTUALLY jump out of my tv screen and eat me.



jk not really, i have no fears. i think the game's gonna be pretty solid and people are just overreacting right now.

Emphasis added. This is why the sequel can't be about the Wardens. There are way too many possible endings for the Grey Warden and way too many characters that a player could have been in Origins. Either BioWare would have had to spend an ungodly amount of time writing and coding for each possibility or they would create a "canon" character and ending. Either way, no one would have been pleased.

An entirely new character avoids this problem, avoids having the awkward "my hero of all time is now suddenly level 1 for no reason" and lets them avoid all the baggage about the Grey Wardens from the first game.

Yes... Your right about the no Romances thingy... Allso one of the reasons Awakening was a disopointment!! And another thing to be bothered about.... Not enough Charakter in the NPC's.

I mean conversation in awakening was limited utterly.... Don't make that mistake again Bioware. You might end up as Ea puppets!!!

@Fans not giving it a chance worry:  How, exactly, are fans supposed to 'give it a chance'?  We do not have the full facts.  Heck, all we have is speculation.  Are we supposed to reserve judgement?  Already, fans of DA1 will be disappointed by the stuff they've hacked away from DA2 (origin stories, any other race besides human, etc).

Or should we simply wait until the game is out and after we've bought it and played it to voice our opinion if we're unhappy with it?  Because that would seem like a waste of money to me.

This is actually one of my fears I have about the game, which is another symptom of it possibly turning into Dragon Effect: Mass Age.  They've already limited the main character to human--and, most likely, one 'origin'.  (And the Origins were the best part about DAO, frankly).

Now, look at pretty much everything released 'officially' from the ME universe, either ME1 or ME2.   Notice something about the main character?  It's the same one.  Over and over.  They're always showing *male* Shepard.  Most people didn't even know you could play as a female in either of the games.  That, to me, is totally unacceptable.

Is it so much trouble to cater to bother genders?  Or, at least, throw a bone to those of us who've grown bored and/or disillusioned by the standard male character?

It's like if they're going to make the game from the big manly-man's point of view anyway, why even bother waste time designing a women PC?  Or, in ME's case, hiring a professional and much, MUCH better VA to voice the female male character if you're not even going to show it off?

[flem1]

That every thread on it will be derailed by the same misguided whining about ME2.

Understandably so - however - having carry over from at least 1 Origin, such as the HN, would have been very possible. Considering the fact  that the HN Warden played a large role with either the King or Queen of Ferelden, it would have made for a very great storyline continuation and had a tremendous amount of potential in a sequel - IMO

huh? mass effect 2 sold 2 million copies in the first week alone, rofl

http://www.1up.com/d...ory?cId=3177757

you're a complete moron, comparing DA:O's multiplatform sales to ME2's PC only sales.  You know it was released on the 360 as well?

If ME 2 wasn't, neither was ME 1.

nobody is saying ME2 was a bad game but that game reminded me more of Gears of War and less of a typical Bioware game. Bioware has every right to make whichever games but given ME1 style which won them a lot of fans, then to abandon it all for something very different type of game is disappointing. And worse part was it smacked of EA interfering more than Bioware trying new things. which makes me fear for DA2 and even TOR. I will still buy all of them but bioware will lose lot of its core supporters if they continue to make more linear action games.

here is ign critisizing this aspect too but they do it very diplomatically so as not to get EA on the wrong side.

My fear? That they'll turn Dragon Age into Fable. Or Dante's Inferno.

[Kalcalan]

I'm quite thrilled by the idea that the character's actions and decisions can affect the game like in a pnp campaign but I'm concerned about the limited choice: no Elf or Dwarf PC and a character who is going to be called Hawke...



I guess that in DAO NPCs could call the main character Warden and maintain immersion but having NPCs call my character Hawke in game will just annoy me.



As far as animal monikers are concerned I like Wolf (in the Witcher) better but it doesn't work that well for a female character...

[Worrow]

I guess no Toolset this time.
