Obviously there's always going to be limitations no matter what, lest you write the dialogue yourself.  

...And for some people the limitations of a fully-voiced character don't bother them as much as they bother you.  If you want to indulge in the fantasy that that makes you "better" than them, I guess that's your right.

Of course, it'd also bother me less if it wasn't a sequel where I had some expectations on how it would be.  I came here expecting a sequel to one of my favourite games ever and I got something I'm not remotely interested in playing.

Well that may have been a little bit your fault for having such high expations. I heard about DA:2 and all i expected was an amazing game. Sure i hoped for some things but you have to remember the game they put out is gonna be the game they put out. Im just sayin ....

My expectations weren't high.  I was just expecting them to continue what they started.

I didn't think it was too much to ask them to continue doing what they're doing. Especially when DA:O's marketing focused around how it was bringing back classic RPG"s and going against common trends in the game industry by providing classic gameplay.  

from what ive heard they are going to release more dlc for DA:O so maybe that will put some much needed and satisfying closure to the wardens story. Even so the story needs to change or shift some time if not the content becomes stagnant.

I don't mind them changing the story, I'm speaking more from a design perspective.  The amount of choices Origins gives you is staggering compared to most games, and many of the mechanics are exactly what I expected when I heard "classic RPG".

Now they're taking away choices (removing race, name and personality choices in one fell swoop of adding a voiced, named character) while speaking about more "dynamic combat".  The most annoying part of all of this is that they seem to be trying to appeal to a different audience by bringing in a voiced character and changing the combat while changing things that fans of the first game loved. 

They didnt really take away name choices (E.G. if you were a human noble in DA:O  you Could change your first name but your last name was Cousland or dwarf noble your last name was Aeducan.) they only say his last name is hawke and im sure thats so the people who Hawke interacts with know what to call him. As far as the voiced character thing i would rather it stayed the same as in DA:O. I also see your point of view on the Combat system i really like it the way it is but who knows it may turn out to be good well just have to wait and see

Ugghh, fully voiced = Shepard clone.



Not exactly what I wanted to hear.

Is this: Masseffable Age 2??? :_(

ITS ROUINED FOREVER OMG



WHAT DO YOU MEAN A WRITERS



(Im excited about this game)

[Lord Issa]

Sounds good, I have a theory now. Maybe in DA 3 the Warden and Hawke will be forced to unite or something, so there will be two main characters. Either way I just really don't want to lose my Warden forever.

If Hawke and the Warden from DA3 united, I'd buy DA2 and play through it just so I could do that. Wonderful idea and I HOPE YOU'RE LISTENING TO THIS, BIOWARE!

[Dan Matrix]

I don't get why people are saying that Hawke is a coward for leaving Lothering. Your own character in Origins basically walks in then out of Lothering and leaves everyone to fend for themselves no different then what Hawke did. We have no clue why he left or if he fought the drakspawn during the blight or anything like that yet.

[SmokePants]

I'm excited about the premise. Sounds like Braveheart, in that it's not so much a story about a journey or campaign, it's the story of a man who becomes a symbol to a people.

I just had a flashback to 2004, when everybody was so sure that in KOTOR 3, Revan and the Exile were going to team up and take out the "True Sith". No one listened to me when I said it would never happen and I suspect no one will listen to me now.

Better a smart coward than a brave idiot.

I'm getting flashbacks of Valve announcing L4D2 and subsequent drama......

[Tyrlisele]

I want to know what happens to my warden after awakenings since its hinted at the warden's story is not yet over.

Sounds like that you never expierenced (maybe because of age? *Shrugs*) the old P&P adventure. Where you had no choice, but to use your imagination.

Wrong.  And what the hell do you mean by "because of age?"  You have no idea how old I am.  I just have different preferences for video games because I understand that they are vastly different from P&P games.  It doesn't mean I lack imagination, like you were trying to imply.

Twerp.

Sorry to "imply you a lack of Imagination". But "please" tone down your "Verbal" abuse.
Thank You. :happy:

Hawke was probably an unarmed refugee in Lothering trying to survive the sh*tstorm.

[Warheadz]

I must say, right now i really look forward to this game even if i am concerned about it (but that's only bacuse origins was so awesome). But I would be disappointed if all the choices of origins go to trash bin. I wish to see how my Warden left his mark in the history.

I'm guessing he was just a kid when the sacking of Lothering took place.

[LaurenceEM]

Okay, so I've tried to read as much of this thread as I can take before I want to slap-chop my wrists, so I'm not going off of nothing.

First off I just want to say, I LOVED DRAGON AGE. I LOVED MASS EFFECT. 
I really want to be positive, I'm really trying.
While it would be cool if we had the option to maybe turn off the VO I know it's not likely.
I have no qualms with the backstory so far, though while it may be me being skeptical and I'm not going to lie, a tad disapointed with the info so far, I find that the Lothering connection sounds...... just a little bit like it could turn out to be a cop out, anyone else hear me?
I mean, if they turn around and throw a small clip ("Oh yeah, here's that part where you are connected to DAO, lt's never mention this again") of Lothering at you in the beginning, and then book it out of Ferelden for the rest of the game, what was the point of the extensive codexes and stories about Ferelden?
DAO gave me the possiblilty to make a character I would love, to work on relationships and friendships I will grow to love, experience a land I will actually want to defend at the end of the game.
If Bioware hadn't gone in the first place and offered me this world to become wholly invested in, I wouldn't be so iffy about where this game looks like it might be going.
Maybe I 'm asking too much, but I cannot be the only person out there who was bawling their eyes out or ready to throw their tv out the window because of an annoying character (ahem, Logain, Anora, ISOLDE. GR!).
Is it so much to ask that when a game makes you spend hours upon hours becoming invested in a character or in a relation with an NPC that they make good on not just tossing that out the window next time they make a game?
I want to hear more stories about Antiva, and to be "Luridly stared at" by Zevran, and I want to listen to Alistair make a fool of himself, and I want to roll my eyes everytime Oghren opens his mouth. And when Bioware spends so much time building these amazing characters and places, only to get to the sequel and possibly toss it all out just makes me feel like the time I spent really paying attention to all the details the first time around not worth it.
Well, I've rabbled on quite enough for now, I just have one more thing to add.
I'm going to feel seriously cheated if they go through with this "Only Human" thing. What was the point of putting them in the FIRST GAME then??
(While it's still far to early to make HUGE assumptions) this game is sounding almost more like a spiritual succesor to DAO than it is a sequel.

Sequels continue stories, not just universes.

Im ok with a voice actor so long as its not an American one, I get sick of playing an RPG where the character sounds American. Theres more than just them out there you know.

ALSO I think Hawke could be one of 2 people, seen as im replying DAO now and just got to Lothering.

1.) A farmer says his entire family have left and fleed to the north, he woulnd't seem like a coward if he had a family to look after.

2.) Farmer shouting at people from the marsh land, doubt it was any of the 4 people he was shouting at tho.

[Risax]

I like both the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series.



But if they are going to voice Hawke i hope the character will also SOUND angry or sad, i mean Shepard always sounded the same, you could only guess that he was mad because of the things he said and the stuff he shot.

[biomag]

DA 2 doesn't sound like a 2nd part of Dragon Age and I have no problems with that. It just tells another story from that background/universe. I ain't expecting a DA:O game, but another good Bioware product... and a lot of whining on this board... god, I really start to hate this place...

[II Numero6 II]

Don't be worried origin will be in DLC 1200 point or more each it smell split game



Buisnes is buisnes .

[Wivvix]

I'm glad to see i'm not the only person with reservations about DA2.

I think the lesson for ALL OF US GAMERS TO LEARN, is that feedback is meaningless, and developers will do, and ruin their IP, despite our pleas for more of what has already worked.

I don't think i've seen or heard of a developer to date who has failed to shoot themselves in the foot with one title or another. Hopefully this Dragon Affect 2 will just be an intermediary mistake in a long series of Dragon Age titles.

I'm so disappointed, one of the main things that made Bioware different was the ability to immersse yourself into the story though a character of your creation. This is taking away the ability to be unique to, Dragon Age when first released was the successor to Balder's Gate and the first lived up to that though story and creation. I cannot imagine feeling as connected to Hawke as I did to my characters... the ability to choose the races and sex of the character.... I dont think I will have the heart to play Dragon Age 2 because it took me so long to find a game that brought back all the elements that I loved as a kid to just have it ruined.
