Apart from the cool blood dragon logo thing, the game is call DRAGON Age is it not? I hope we get a trailer with a, you know, a DRAGON in the near future!



LOL!!!



Otherwise, I thought it was pretty cool.

is wiping blood on your nose going to be one of hawke's "let's duel" moves?



i remember the conversation about battle stances/etiquette and how the creators would like to involve them in the game...



and admittedly the trailer is awesome and looks very expensive, but i am still waiting on the gameplay graphics trailer... and the introduction of some of the silhouetted characters in the background...

I put my faith in BioWare in this.  Yeah, it's corny, but really the writers of this game probably have every detail planned out.  This included.

There has to be a reason behind it.

I don't know about that.
There are a number of spells or abilities posessed by characters throughout various fantasy settings that rely on a character being close to death, or that increase in power the more injured someone is, or that cannot be used unless blood has been drawn, or whatever.  Not exactly unprecedented, and certainly not necessarily some sort of logical flaw.


It's a trope, see the link the other guy provided.

Tropes by definition are not flaws, but IMO the "OMG power so great but saving it for a visceral dramatic big monent"  is a flaw.


How do you know it's that trope, though?  You say that with such authority.

I looked at the link, but I hate that stupid trope site, and this is one examply why.  Everybody reduces things to tropes just because it is easy, even if they don't really fit.  We don't have ANY information about what he was doing or even if it will be included in the game, but somebody has already slapped it with a catchall trope label, as if they could definitively say that they were using some staid movie plot device just by watching a teaser trailer.

The examples I gave are different than the description of the trope, but are accepted and perfectly logical mechanics used in many fantasy settings.  There is no less reason to think that it has something to do with one of those ideas and not that stupid trope.

Besides, how is saving a powerful but draining ability until a dramatic moment a flaw?  I do it all the time when I play RPGs, not for drama, but because it makes good sense.  Don't waste your big ammo on people you don't have to.

People are saying this has a Mass Effect quality to it.



If this really is the b*stard child of those games, is that a bad thing?

Some people here hate ME, some like it but want DA games to be as "distinct" from BW's other games as possible.  At least, that's the impression I've gotten. 

I'm not in the "Mass Effect is the bane of all that is good" camp, myself.  I really loved those games, and at the same time, I'm not getting the impression that DA2 will be a clone of them, either.

For the record, I only offered that trope as a possible explanation for why he waited to use his power, as an alternative to simply "doing it for dramatic effect." I never said "this is what it is, period, end of story."

I liked the trailer. It looked pretty sweet, & I can't wait to get my hands on it when it hits the streets in March. I do however, have a burning question that I would like to have answered. Will Hawke get the chance to aquire a certain legendary sword that was crafted by a certain blacksmith in a certain country to the south? If so, will it have the same stats that it had in DA: O, or will it have even better stats?

Yeah, the game will be like that. Once we're low on life, we'll get to use a special move. Something like Ultraman.



And them qunari looked like they have devolved not evolved(funnily that stickied thread is gone) and not capable of speech.

Great cinematic.. wonder who that horned demon guy is, probably some monster 5 levels higher than Hawke which is why he needed to go into godmode to kill it.

You do know that ogres come from qunari right. Plus they're not meant to look human, thats the idea.

Loved how it started, screen full of blood sort of being sucked into the logo, than BLAM!!! RARWWRR DRAGON!!!! Then the sweet sweet familiar voice of Kate Mulgrew, just awesome, ahhh.

Although I'm not sure about Hawe's hand burning the Qunari in the face and the finishing god move, makes hawke kinda like a hybrid magic/melee user, like death knights in WoW, not like that was the first ever magic / melee class or if it matters. It does look wicked fun.

Very cool teasy trailer, looking forward to the end product.

For me the music was the most memorable part of the trailer. Epic in every way.

one minor thing about the trailer...the placement of the axe was completely wrong and the qunari picked it up way too fast.

Otherwise its the best trailer I have seen you guys make.
