We start out with this bit of info:
“Dragon Age 2 progresses the epic saga, as you take on the role of Hawke, a survivor of the Blight and the hero who will change the world forever”
Yes it means we can only play as a male/female human and I do understand that it makessome people sad,
annoyed and/or angry. That part is understandable. Is it gamebreaking? For your sake I hope not. However,
does the quote above indicate that all other customization options are gone like a great deal of the posters here seems to think? Well, I don’t think so. It still leaves huge room for freedom and customization
and to think Bioware would remove those things completely is just plain folly. It all comes
down to implementations.
Let’s move on:
“We are amplifyingthe things that made Dragon Age: Origins such a huge successwhile introducing a more dynamic combat system, improving the graphics, and telling the most importantstory in our world.”
I guess you could chose to read it like many people have done and draw the assumption that
it means that Dragon age 2 is all about action and graphics and moving more into the Mass effect route. Surprisingly I don’t. To me it reads: We are keeping everything in Dragon age that we and our fans are happy with while improving its weak points: Graphic and combat. Graphic was fine with me, but it’s obvious it
was an issue for loads of people. A few of you may also claim that there was nothing wrong with the combat system. Well you are of course entitled to your opinion, but to be honest, Bioware have done much better in the past. It lacked a dimension tactically and can definitely be made better. Now you may chose to direct me
towards this quote:
“Think like a general and fight like a Spartan with dynamic new combat mechanics that put
you right in the heart of battle whether you are a mage, rogue, or warrior.”
Well how much tactics can u need if you are to fight in the middle of the action like a Spartan you may wonder? Isn’t this just more proof that we will be seeing a fantasy Mass
effect? Here most people seem to ignore the first three words of the sentence. “Think like a general”. I would not worry about dumbing down and making the action system more action based until I see it in action. Right now
we actually have nothing that confirms or actually indicates that, that would be the case.
Moving on:
“He also asserts that BioWare is working hard to make sure “fans of the original game retain
a sense of satisfaction and familiarity in the world.” This may simply mean referencing events of the first game, or it could also mean a Mass Effect 2-style save transfer is being planned.”
Next to this statement are other comments made by Bioware employees confirming that choices made will in one way or the other transfer over to Dragon age 2. So no, your play through of Dragon age was
NOT pointless (How anyone could think so in the first place is beyond me).
I very much doubt Dragon age 2 will turn into a masseffect set in a fantasy world. Why would it? Because we may see a voiced main character? Because the game gets better graphics? Because we only can play as human? Hmm yes… excellent indications. I may of course be proved wrong in a few months. As for right now I find nothing
that upsets me because there is nothing to be upset about, We know nothing
solid. I will most likely return with some kind of complaint in a few months when there is something to complain about. Now the only things we have are tiny bits of info that we have no clue how they are to be implemented. I am more than anything else very much excited and curious about Dragon age 2.
