Last weekend there was the game city convention in Vienna. They showed also some game play scenes from DA2. Have a look:







I can`t help myself. I don´t like the actual graphic design. The old darkspawn looked much cooler. Well is seems that Hawk or in this case lady Hawke is actually the GOD OF WAR. It's certainly more gory than DA:O.



As we know the battle scenes are an exaggeration – part of the narrative - hence it looks ridiculous. If bioware indeed speeds the fighting how long will a normal battle last? 2-3 min? It is clear that DA2 will become a clear action-RPG and no more a classic RPG.

mmkay. I have an idea. I believe the re-design of the darkspawn was purposeful. In Awakening, you were introduced to the Architect and his plans to stop the war between the two sides. What if he was actually successful in giving the darkspawn their own mind away from the call of the old gods? What if the darkspawn have come to have their own mind...and they're now those creepy creations that look more human than anything? Its just a thought...

I don't know...remember it's possible to have nipped the Architect's plans in the bud by killing him. 

It may be a case where you just have to accept that these darkspawn are seen through the lens of a different art style.

Yeah thats probably the deal and also chronologically DA2 starts before awakening, right around the start of the first game. It would be a really interesting concept if your decision regarding the architect had an impact on the darkspawn but we just have to wait and see about that.

Personally, I like the redesign of the Darkspawn, but hey, that's just me...



Occam, I know that you're really busy with the new job, but you may want to check out some of the bioware comments in the Vienna gameplay thread.

You do realise they're referencing the discussion with the Lake Calenhad templar, right? ^

Don't question royalty!

I hope we'll see a lot more lyrium addled characters. Hopefully with more emphasis on the "lyrium tripping"....

Keep in mind that the events previous to Awkening were still happening. The Architect made an appearance in one of the novels, remember? I doubt he had only begun building his "humanitarian darkspawn" AFTER the blight. This had probably been going on for years. There is a chance that the change in art could still be due to this "Architect". Even IF you killed him in Awakening, his results from the years prior could still linger... Maybe his darkspawn don't know about his death.:bandit:

I never said the Architect being behind it was impossible--I basically said I don't know and that I think it's more likely that it's just a new art style. The darkspawn certainly aren't going to be the only things that look different, after all.

As we know the battle scenes are an exaggeration – part of the narrative - hence it looks ridiculous. If bioware indeed speeds the fighting how long will a normal battle last? 2-3 min? It is clear that DA2 will become a clear action-RPG and no more a classic RPG.

Here's the same video, just zoomed in :> (and without that annoying south park character)

Not all of the battle scenes are an exaggeration (if that's what you're saying; apologies if I've misunderstood). Just the one in the leaked video and maybe a few others throughout the game. From what we've heard, most won't have darkspawn exploding left and right.

If there will be a different edition (sure there will be) how much longer before it can be pre-ordered. I imagine Late Oct/early Nov. Am I wrong in thinking this?



I will get a LE/SE this time....

Varric is voiced by Brian Bloom, confirmed by Mary in the Varric thread after the fangirls had psychic predictions.
