Hello, i wanna ask you a question about dragon age 2, i don't want to
post this thread in the dragon age section because a admin comes and
closes the thread and i probably get banned.

So, i have read the
announcement about dragon age 2, and i noticed this one

"Dragon Age 2 thrusts players into the role
of Hawke, a penniless
refugee who rises to power to become the
single most important character
in the world of Dragon Age"

So,
in dragon age 2 you will not be able to create a custom character? You
will play just with the main character named Hawke? Like a shooter
game...

Please answwer...

You only have 2 choices in character.

A male character that is a refugee with the last name hawke.

Or a female one.

You get to still choose how you look and what class you play.

Yep, you got to play as a pre-determined character. So, if by customization you mean the shape-as-you-will type characters, no, you can't customize him.

Like in Mass Effect, you'll have casts, -hopefully skills, but I'm already afraid what the dynamic combat system means, I hope it won't get simplified to a God of War QTE game, but hey, I have trust in BioWare-



This way you'll get voiced dialogues. But you will loose a tremendous amount of conversation options, and a lot of other customization (the race for example and the following consequences). Again, thanks for the guys and gals who whined for voiced main hero, because they can't read.



So it's a pretty controversial feature. The storytelling changes from first person perspective to third person perspective. Which is not a bad thing, only different - but then the game shouldn't be called Dargon Age 2 as the foundations of the storytelling is changed.

I'd prefer a subtitle, for eg: Dragon Age: Hawke Effect, or something like that, to reflect that it is different in the basics.

I suppose you will be able to chose how he/she looks as well so it's not that bad. Hawke is the last name witch is probably used to identify you just like Cousland for the human noble in DA:O.



If this is correct then character costumization is as deep as any other rpg out there other than DA:O.

This game would really suck if you couldnt change what you look like. I hope the dialog is good Unlike awakening.No doubt Bioware will have hawk voice ( sigh ) And the dialog will be terrible like Mass effect.Saying something completely different to what it says on screen. Great logic.

I can't see why it wouldn't let you play with looks since the option is already in the first, surely it wouldn't be much to keep that in 2 and considering that was a big selling point being able to customize your character.

I know it will be available to change his name and his face and the gender and the class. So, we will not be able to play a origin kind, like in dragon age 1.Depending of the origins you will be different appreciated and recognized by the people you get in contact.



Thanks

Will I be able to play DA2, I only have one hand. I bought ME but was unable to play it because of the need to use both tbe mouse and the keyboard. I have enjoyed playing DAO and DAA because I can do both using just the mouse.

I believe they've said that the controls and interface are largely unchanged from DAO.

Does anyone know if there is a way to tell if a game can be played with just the mouse without buying it, loading it and then not being able to return it?

"Like a shooter"



If I had a dollar for the number of times I have heard people here say that I'd be rich.

You could wait until after it's out and ask people on the forums or elsewhere. Or maybe ask a dev beforehand and hope that they are able to give you a straight yes or no.

*wonders why a three-month-old thread had to be resurrected for a totally unrelated question*

You could make your own thread. At the top of the board, theres a button (create new topic). More people will see your question because some just read the top, 3 month old post and exit, without seeing your question.

One thing I'm very proud of is our award as Accessible Game of the Year for 2009. We will be taking the same approach for DA2, so on PC you should find that DA2 is quite easy to play. In fact, we've even added a "pause game" button (ala Baldur's Gate) on screen, so you'll theoretically never have to move your hand off your mouse.
