I dont know if it was a good thing when bioware made a game and you didnt hear anything from them in a year or two, now they are turning out games like hotcakes.


Come again?

They used to do that in their early years too, they released at least one game or expansion every year from 1998 to 2003. It's only relatvely recently that there was much of a gap between any of their games.

Well with their recent successes it's only natural that they have the funds to make more games at once.

I, for one, am OK with a non-import DA:2. Sure, you spent hours of your life creating and growing a whole slew of heroes and/or bastards, and it kinda sucks, but I think that's what Awakenings was all about. Considering the physical distance and time away from your ultimate victory in first (and expansions), I'm fine with not having anyone show up from the first go around. For all we know, this could take place in the last decade of the Dragon Age and could lead into the next age by the time the decade is done.



It isn't like Mass Effect, where it started out by following the adventures of one Commander Shepard. Different stories were told from a different perspective. It'll be interesting to see how they'll differentiate this from ME with the focus on Hawke. I'm afraid it'll be "Just like ME... except with swords and magic!!!11one!eleventy". I am confident in Bioware, though. I have yet to be disappointed with one of their games.

This game?  Definitely not.  We know the game begins with Hawke's flight from Lothering, which took place during the first game which was 30 years into the age.  By the end of DA2, we will only be about 40 years in (each age is 100 years long).

the game takes place over a 10 year span so there might like another 5 year or so from dao to da2

My point was that we still would not be near the end of the age.

So then...DA3 would be about the world being on the brink of war, and some new hero either facilitating it or fixing it?  *hits self*  No, no, far too early to speculate about what happens AFTER DA2.  Bad Sable :bandit:

Once we get to DA3, and if it's still during the Dragon Age, it's going to be pretty amazing that all of these epic heroes!! are appearing within a few years of each other. That's why I dislike when a new protagonist is called the greatest hero, because then, next time, you're job is to trump that.

Hey you never know, DA3 could be a continuation of Hawke or maybe even the Warden. Who knows, we could be playing multiple people in DA3. (or there is the option that DA3 will never exist but I am hoping that will not happen) . . . Haha they could put a twist on it and make us the person who destroys everything and who is ultimately an "anti-hero".  Ah one can never tell these things, especially since DA2 has not even come out yet!

 Know what would be terrible? If since Hawke's adventures span 10 years, the entire game is doing all what Hawke accomplished on his rise to power. But really at the end it's just Varric and the Seeker and she walks away saying "Interesting.." As the credits roll you see a new, blood red date with two dragon fighting one another. Then we get to wait and do what really mattered at the time, in DA3.
Don't mind me, I'm just playing with terrible ideas. :pinched:

On DA2 importing stuff from Origins:



You know what would be awesome?

If your character from Origins was the evil endgame boss in DA2. Like, in the movie before the final battle, the mysterious Blight commander removes his helmet and you see it's the character you spent so many hours perfecting a couple of years ago. Imagine the shock and feeling of betrayal... if you played a good guy in Origins that is.



I would go like: "No."

If this turns out to be true, I'll consider this a spoiler and hunt you down sir. :P If I see something like "which save character would you like to import" and I don't see that character for the entire game, right until the final boss, I'M gonna go like: "No!".

It would be kinda awesome though.

Well, it's not without historical precedent, however unlikely it may be.  For example, the 30 or so years around the French Revolution produced a lot of individuals who had major impacts on Europe.  I would hardly call Robespierre, Napoleon, Tallyrand, Lafeyette, and their kin "epic heroes," but they were hugely influential.  It's likely that the Dragon Age of Thedas was just an extraordinary time that provided opportunity to a few key extraordinary individuals.

Will there be better graphics in game compared to the images that are on the internet now. Seriously images and a video of DA2 that I have seen so far are really weak compared to DA Origins/Awakening.



Hope BioWare will not disappoint us.

I am not sure most players of this series would appreciate a plot development that denies them the ownership of their character.

That would be so awesome! I like my Warden but nobody would expect such an epic plot twist.

Yes, but all of those were in relation to each other, in a sort of domino affect...of course, I don't know enough about the storyline to surmise how much the Warden's actions and the Blight impant directly (instead of Hawke simply being a refugee) upon Hawke's rise to power. Maybe it all makes sense, I dunno. Besides, both Lafayette and Talleyrand are in relation to other leaders, rather than be individual leaders themselves.
