Actually, you CAN switch out party members in the Dalish Camp, Redcliffe, Orzammar etc. (But not Denerim for some damn reason) on the console. I actually didn't notice this until a year after I bought the game, but when you open up the radial menu there's a 'Change Party' button in the upper left side.
Completely agree with everything else, tho'.

If it's true, I'd slap myself. Although I don't want to feel pain so I won't check it out.
It is true. I've discovered it on my third playthrough and was enraged.Dave of Canada wrote...

Yeah, it's true. Certain areas don't allow the switch, but this is the same for console and PC.

The console version felt plain akward. A perfect example is the stone prisoner dlc puzzle.
Mind explaining how the stone prisoner was awkward?
Had no problems with that... I leave my party holding position near exit, and squares are easily selectable with directional buttons... At least on PS3.BP20125810 wrote...

There was a puzzle challenge towards the end, and it was wierd targeting the squares to move them in position.
Woops. I think I brain-fryed on that one... I was thinking more of the Recent Codex one which is in the "for all systems" section. Blargarrific of me isn't it?Dave of Canada wrote...

I think the "Item Recieved" and "Scrolling through Codex Entries" would apply to the PC version as well in my opinion. They're definitely good ideas. Hopefully Bioware has been working on a better , smoother, and better user interface.
You weren't able to scroll through Codex Entries? Like.. if you opened a tab, you had to go down through the entire list one-by-one with half the list missing?

I have another suggestion. It's purely cosmetical, but it's one of the things that I love the most about the PC version of Origins. I'd like for the inventory/map/codex/etc screen to be done in the book format on the console versions. The presentation feels much nicer that way. Anybody agrees on this?

I don't know about the 360, but on the PS3 the one thing I HATED was the limited character saves. I find this more annoying now with the stand alone DLCs.

I know the "item received" txt was annoying however I know once you received any new item, that item was highlighted in yellow in your inventory from what I noticed. Only problem with that method is, if you're going through your inventory on the bottom of the screen you won't notice the yellow box because once you highlight it, it disappears.
Maybe a journal of some sort, how you can reread conversations, but one that also lists any items received and by whom or what method you received them? That might not work considering how much items you received but maybe not counting loot as you know what you picked up.
As for party members, I think it was KOTOR that there was an option under the map section where you could switch out your party members at any time. At least that's how I remember it, I would love that option to be in DA2, would make party selection a lot easier in my opinion. Overall great suggestions Dave.

Edit: I don't know if this has been discussed before but I'm going to bring it up anyway. Would anybody have cared for targeting with the directional pad if that feature was removed and replaced with the option to select and use more spells and talents? Would that feel a bit strange in overall terms of comfort and accessibility?

Really?
You didn't like having a to have a Rogue for lock picking? While I can understand that, I'm a bit of a traditionalist and I believe that lockpicking , trap making/disarming is a totally rogue trait. I wouldn't want my warriors to be able to do it. Your class is your class, and it has pros and cons to each of them, which makes party composition so
vital. Sometimes quest can be hellish when you've brought the wrong person around.
On the 360 theres seperate saves for RtO,DC,LS,DA:A,and GoA.On the hdd, the saves have underscores in the names.I have to pay close attention when I delete my saves from the hdd.And there's limited character saves too (ie: you can only make so many characters because the DLC saves count as seperate character saves) like you said.They need to fix that.marquiseondore wrote...

I play on the 360 also, I completely agree with Dave on EVERYTHING.I hope they fixed all that in DA2.
Well that's like The Anvil of the Void quest.You have to take Oghren with for one part of it.Which I can understand because of Branka but,having to take a rogue with or being a rogue yourself becomes a pain.For instance,either you have to be a tank and you have to take Leliana or Zevran with or you have to be a
rogue just so you can open up all those chests in the Deep Roads and take Alistair with and Wynne for healing and then Oghren comes with.And then if you want to switch companions, you have to fast travel
all the way back to Orzammar and then go aaalll the way back out to the Deep roads again.It's like, what if I wanna take Dog, Sten or Morrigan with? I could but then I'd have to make alot of potions without enough money to buy the ingredients or make Morrigan a healer or do without a tank or take a rogue with depending on what class I pick for my PC.
While I agree that rogues are naturaly good at lockpicking, it's a little inconvienient sometimes due to the fact that we can't swap out PT members whenever and wherever we want to.
Don't get me wrong.I do like the fact that I have to plan on PT setup for every quest, it
reflects real life in learning how to deal with a situation by planning and using what you have.But my point is what if I want to set the PT up differently for a change of pace? It's a little challenging.
