if i meet any of the old characters im not gona care cus itl be from the perspective of someone im not.

what i mean is im too attached to my old character to give a dam about this new guy...

Given the trailer looks like Hawke is going to canonically be a blood mage/Arcane Warrior type anyway, kind of makes sense the fate of the Chantry would hinge upon his actions.

I'm pretty sure that it will be the Templar and your brother. Why do I say this? because Bethany is being advertised too much for them to just kill her off. Pluse their mother could simply live in the new familys house and pass away from age within those 10 years or something. I also say the Templar due to the fact your sister is an apostate and will probably try something and be forced into killing him yourself. (leaving his hawt wife available teehee). Either that or gets infected with taint fighting Darkspawn out of town...Either way I am sticking to those two.

 This article was great but still leaves me fear of DA II have less than a fourth of the content of Origins. ME2 was such a short & limited game when it comes to content & dialogue. It was a large RPG but compared to Origins it was blip on the radar. Sadly I still have to say with all the added audio for fancy voice overs & the new anime cartoon like art style Dragon AGe II is going to fall very short for me personally.
   I'm still hoping though & reading anything & everything I can find to prove me wrong but no luck so far!!! Thanks for the link

Why not? Many of the greats in history left a sea of bastards and orphans in their wake.

The same reason why you don't have to keep taking your character to the bathroom. Everyone does it, but it is not nessary for the storyline.

Dunno if that proves anything. Mhairi got plenty of attention as well. Although I don't think Bioware will make the same mistake twice.

Well this article supports my theories, however this is by no means solid proof. http://www.gamepro.c...-age-2-preview/

Not really.  I would hardly say she's being "advertised" a lot (especially not compared to, say, Flemeth), and in any case it doesn't mean she comes with a set of plot armor.

Anyone remember Mhairi?

David Gaider is on the record as saying the reviewer got only one of several (at this point, indeterminate) outcomes, so it's not proof of anything except that such an outcome is possible.

You named your Elf Darrian...Bravo, No I mean that is really one of the few times I think the default name is better.

...Who?

Just kidding, she was the Knight who wanted to be a Grey warden...and Failed. I knew she was going to die, why?

In this game, she was TOO normal.

Here's hoping the mother can fight. It would be a bit of a disappointment if she was just a damsel in distress who needed to be protected by Bethany, Hawke, Carver etc. .

So having read that, it further confirms to me that DA 2 will split off many of the PC players from the console players in a negative way.

I never found the combat system in DA:O as 'clunky' as that article would have the reader believe. Challenging at times yes, requiring clear tactical thinking, almost always, especially on hard/nightmare levels. Minor tweaking required..perhaps.

So its quite clear, reading that, what exactly those 'improvements' entail. For example having obviously found it hard work in DA:O, the writer here now says

After obliterating enemies with such ease I realized that this was a much different Dragon Age than I was used to, but it was exactly what I was hoping for

Easier then.

The tactical combat system designed for PCs didn't translate well to consoles,. The Bioware team has acknowledged the first game's shortcomings and has worked hard to correct them.

Or to put it another way. The PC combat system was too complex, too difficult for console translation. So it has been 'streamlined', ie simplified to please console users.

And this seems to confirm the simplification

It's much more fluid and feels faster, though people who liked the slower pace of the first game can still pause the and issue commands. Instead of a two- or three-second delay when you select an active ability, your character will instantly perform an attack or spell.

With the exception of a few spells that took a few seconds to cast because of their power or complexity ( Blizzard, etc ) spells were pretty much instantaneous and there was no such delay that bothered me. So now every spells is instant, no matter its complexity ? This quote makes little sense unless the author was the kind of person who was annoyed she couldn't get her Inferno off right 'now'. But timing like that was part of what made the game challenging.

Simplification, less thinking required, less tactical. Improved graphics and a 'cinematic' experience do no compensate for what appears to be, on the basis of that article, a game that has the intellectual challenges it poses reduced in comparison to the first.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu spoilersssssss, Hawke brother and the Templar die.

Well. Since it got mentioned, I'll just say that that's what happened in their story.

I guess this means that you get to choose who dies.

Thanks to these images you'll always know what sort of a response your character will give -- there's an olive branch for peaceful approaches, a comedy mask for witty remarks and a fist pump full of aggressive responses.

I suggest cutting the dialogue and leaving only grunts with the same results in DA3. Seriously-are they making this game for mentally challenged ?

This worries me as well. This is so pedagogical that it might just become too boring.
