 Bethany = Imoen anyone? 

Boy, I hope not.

I have to admit that my knee-jerk thought was along the lines of "Sister who's a mage...strangely familiar"   But someone who reminds me of Imoen is less bad than someone who reminds me of Carth, I suppose.

I, uh, actually like him.

That said, I don't wish for an expy of Carth anymore than I want an expy of Imoen.  I understand that certain archetypes show up often because they're popular, but one thing I liked about DA:O was that the main characters didn't immediately make me go, "Oh, that's Imoen, that's Juhani, there's Valen, etc."

Well, to each their own   Though I agree, I'd rather see fresh characters than rehashes of old ones.  To be fair to BioWare, though, there's only so many iterations of character you can make when you've made as many as they have.  You'll start recycling ideas at some point.

Yeah, and I understand that they do probably have character types that they like and will tend to write what they like.

Sorry but I don't think they promised either of those things.  The epilogues of DA:O and DA:A say that the Warden's story isn't over, but that wasn't a promise that they would be the star of DA2.

I want at least one or two 'primary characters of Dragon Age (1)' in their senility (like 70 or 80 years) ... it is necessary for the plot and story and brings more excitement about the Game.

Why would they be that old? According to the GI article DA2 starts off during the Blight and has a 10 year time frame.

good. I heard that there won't be any familiar face in DA2 ... so It was untrue :happy:

In the GI article they said that Morrigan is definitely coming back. Whether or not she's a party member is still unknown.

The only person we KNOW is returning is Flemeth. At some point they also said they weren't done with Morrigan's story, but we don't have the context for that statement. It doesn't necessarily mean she's coming back in DA2. They could easily have been referring to DLC or expansions for DA:O, or even DA3.

[Develar]

so i can play my character MAYBE in da3 in 2015 or what`?^^



and it's just terrible that we cannot even chose our NAME! I can understand that we cannot chose a race even though I hate it but not even a NAME? Great RP ....



I don't think I will play it^^I didn't play da:a because i missed my party and I don't regret it. I'm just disappointed. Maybe it will be a great game...but probably just another good bioware game...it could have been so much more..

Right, and DA2 could touch on Morrigan's story without ever actually having her appear in person.

You can choose Hawke's first name.  Hawke is the surname, and you couldn't choose a surname in DA:O either.

Agreed when naming your Warden your surname was already set for you depending on your origin (Cousland, Aeducan, etc etc) this time around its Hawke....still get to give him a first name though.

Promised, where?

[PandaTimezz]

Wouldn't it be funny if Flemeth teamed up with Hawke and convinced him/her that Morrigan was a threat and needed to be dealt with, like Morrigan did with the Warden for Flemeth?

Talk about a twist

I can see that happening a mile away so I hope it does not go in that direction until right before the ending when it'll take another installment for Hawke to do that  Hey, we could throw the Warden there too if that happens!

It'd be funny if she tried, but since we actually know who Morrigan is, it'd feel like a shallow choice--to be tricked or not to be tricked? At least with Morrigan she had very good reasons for sending you to kill her mom, and we had to take her word for it.

IF flemeth told you Morrigan planned on reserrecting an old god...then explained why that would be bad....would you go and do it?

If that's the case I don't see how that would lead to Hawke being the champion of Kirkwall.  It would need to be a sidequest and I think there's far to much of a backstory to do that.

Okay, I have just read some of the arguments over the fact that it's not a continuation of the DA:O story, that Dragon Age was never meant to be a trilogy. Well, one game that proves that a sequel does not have to continue the story, but must be part of the setting is Silent Hill 2. What that game did was that it took the titular town and expanded on it, saying that it always had a dark history and did not continue the cult from the first game(which would be continued in Silent Hill 3), and as a result is one of the greatest and scariest games of all time. Which is why I'm looking forward to DA:2 as it expands on the world of Thedas.

Yeah, it'd be all too hard for people who played the first game not to metagame.

More facts for the thread from a forum goer who attended SDCC in case anybody's interested:

- Mages now have a death blow (Like DW who behead and TH warriors that impale) made up of magic animations

- Hawke speaks with an English (UK) accent.

I think it's more likely that if she wants you go to kill Morrigan, the devs will try to make it so that you don't realize it's Morrigan until after you've done it. Of course, it wouldn't have any significance to Hawke, but it would be a shock to the player. There would probably be hints, of course.

Of course, then we'd just restore an old save. Big "twists" like that are only good for one time, story-wise. It's okay that we know Andrew Ryan is our father when we kill him--it's simply a part of the plot (a slave obeys, after all)--but if we're given the choice to kill a person we find out is Morrigan and we don't want her dead, we won't kill her.

Why would I assume she knows what she's talking about? Even if there's been god-babies before, Hawke would have no way of knowing that, and no reason to believe Flemeth. At least when you confront Flemeth for Morrigan she pretty much up-and-admits what her plans were.

Also:



"We put up to 5 choice options and 5 investigate options per dialog node. There is also a difference between choices (where you are actually deciding something) and giving you the opportunity to express yourself in different ways (which I think is quite cool, but not something I believe we have released any details on yet)."

"1) If the line is completely neutral in its tone-- the equivalent of what someone pointed out above, when in DAO you'd have one response option and it was simply designed to drive the conversation forward. Things that anyone could be expected to say in that situation.



2) If you've already selected a tone, on occasion we will initiate an exchange that carries on that tone (generally not more than one extra line). This helps on those occasions where it would be awkward to fit everything the player has to say onto one line.



3) The most common use is when initiating conversation with someone whom you already know, or we know why you're returning there (such as to finish a quest). This one I quite like as it prevents the need to have the NPC start the conversation in all cases and thus skips the beginning rigamarole when it's unnecessary."
