yup i don't want them to be like me2 either ....some characters hardly say anything at all ...garrus was the most disappointing one of them all .....it was like they hardly knew each other .......still anythings better than awakenings ....conversations i mean

[seif9]

Really hoping they release more info soon

I, for one, am super excited about the new conversation system. I think it's a major upgrade from DA:O. For instance, I have played 3 different "personalities" in DA:O - a kind and flirty human mage, a sarcastic **** city elf, and a surly human noble (all female). Long story short, my least favorite "personality" has been the kind mage, but that has also been the best playthrough, making it easy for me to unlock sidequests and maxing friendships with pretty much all the characters.



When I played the way I actually want to (sarcastic **** or surly), I pissed off people and could not unlock fun scenes or cinematics. I thought it was unfair to penalize my sarcastic characters that way, ESPECIALLY when they were basically "good". I'm really interested in the system here, where you can antagonize someone but still be their friend. And it makes far more sense to lose friendship over a major plot decision rather than a surly comment or two.



I also really like the idea of home bases and developing relationships over a decade. Maybe this is a horrible comparison, but it reminds me of good Harvest Moon or Rune Factory games, where you actually feel like you're in a living breathing community that changes over time.

Hmmm... I guess I'll just have to cross my fingers that the convos are at least as good as DA-O... they were amazing, tho I agree they need their timing worked on.

I really hate the fact that you can't talk to them anywhere... I can deal with it; but it just seems kinda dumb. I'm playing an RPG, not an FPS.

Over a decade for DA2 does not equal to 10 years x 365.25 days x 24 hours x  60 minutes x 60 seconds.
Over a decade for DA2 might equal to 5 or 8 main quests. If you spend 2 quests for introduction and completing your companion's personal quest, how many left for you to actually get to know them better? 

Don't get me wrong. I am super excited with the idea. It's super grand and bring more realism to companion relationship. However, my experience with ME2 teach me, "wait till you finish your mission, then we'll talk" or relying for your companion to message you that they have something to tell, might not be the best player-companion interaction.

Fact is, if they don't start talking quickly, you will never know more about them.

Tommorow the new issue of the german PC games magazine "Gamestar" comes out, they apparently have an exclusive dragon age 2 cover story, and some new videos from the game.



If there are german members on this board we should have a ton of new information soon !

New videos? Like on a CD that comes with the mag?

[Abbbe]

Yeah, it says Dragon Age 2 analysis video, so hopefully something in-depth.

You germans are so lucky...

I agree that Harvest Moon/Rune Factory is not directly comparable in this situation, given very different gameplay issues...I imagine this game will have a lot of time skips!  Still, I feel like there is somewhat of an atmospheric or narrative comparison here, in that the story is more focused on one town/city that changes over time, which is really a neat kind of immersion, IMO.  

I've never played ME2, unfortunately, being a Mac owner.  I can definitely see your point - hopefully there won't be any incredibly annoying situations, like for instance a quest that you NEED to complete in order to have more dialogue with a certain character, but that is incredibly annoying/difficult/impossible to complete for whatever reason.  I also see your point about only being able to talk to them after quests - I don't know though, I have a feeling dialogue won't feel too spare. 

Didn't they also mention that there would be multiple personal quests?  Or am I just making that up?

Companions will have multiple personal quests.

David and Luke (I think it was Luke) said that in the thread about the DLC character. ^^

Yeah, see, I just don't feel like companion interaction will be any kind of sparse.  That's my vibe, anyway.

If that is the case, then they would likely post such information in the deutsch forums and not the english forums.

Flemeth is described in this thread as being either dragon or HUMAN. However, she looks more like a female Qunari to me with the horns and all that.

Is this a possibility since she is able to "inhabit" a host body?

[Loc'n'lol]

Flemeth has no horns, that's her hair.

You sure about that? It looks exactly like the female qunari concept art! 
We just assume she is human because she was in Origins, but this is not necessarily the case.
What exactly tells you she is human in DA2?

The screenshots we've got of Flemeth represent her when she meets Hawke, when he's flying Lothering, just after the Warden left. Flemet is still alive at the time, because the Warden can't kill her at the time when Hawke fled Lothering. So she has the same body that she had when she met the Warden.

Damn, I didn't see that!
I guess I wanted her to be Qunari...oh well, thanks for clearing it up.

Which is kind of strange since she didn't look anything like the screenshots when my warden return to "kill" her.

Hmm, I am wondering if her looks are also a part of Varric's "storytelling". Can someone confirm that?

Yeah! Its all starting to look a bit suspicious! 

[hrothgar99]

 well varric hasnt met hawke by then so maybe that is why flemeth is shown like this .....i mean varric being this storyteller and all would know all about the tales of flemeth and thus would show her as an impressive figure while telling the tale .....or atleast  that is what i think

Sadly both article and video contained nothing new with the exception of some new screenshots of Merrill.
