Yay,



Another set of questions.

Was there one thing you didn't like about the demo?

Did you like playing male Hawke or female Hawke?

She's got mace! It's a weapon! Take her down!

That's one of the few direct quotes. David Silverman also made a point of quoting her exactly on that particular word during the presentations. I kinda liked it. This "dark fantasy" could use a bit of roughening up around the edges.

Huh. Well...hmm...if Cassandra's character is loud and crass, sure, fine, but I imagined her as sort of refined and upper-class from the concept art. I don't know, I don't consider gratuitous swearing as adding anything to a dark fantasy setting.

It also seems to be a rather...American thing to say. I have a hard time imagining a British accent saying that, especially. Hey, I could be wrong. Any Brits want to correct me?

Oh here's a dumb question...



What color were Lady Hawke's eyes? And did you happen to notice boob-size? (For all those boob-naysayers out there)

SET TO STUN

[bl00dsh0t]

Interesting info here, from the ustream i could see a lot that looked somewhat interesting but yet worried me. As long as the storytelling is on par with DAO i'm happy, the only thing that worries me at the moment is that they try to turn it into a ninja gaiden with a party. Not that I didn't love ninja gaiden, just that my in mind comparison to it and games of its kind will force me to compare the two and frankly when it comes to combat few games ever came close to the awesomeness of ninja gaiden



Now one must eagerly await a gameplay video, sigh xD

I didn't like that it bluescreened on me. But seriously...I probably should come up with something so I don't sound like such a fanboy. Maybe I just need to come down from my post-PAX high. I suppose I still wasn't a huge fan of the new darkspawn look, but like I said before, I hardly noticed.

Okay, here's a real thing. The level looked a lot better than the screenshots, but despite appearing open, it was often pretty narrow. At times it was like following a hallway, then it would open up where a big battle would happen, then go back to a narrow hallway feel.

I guess some Origins outdoors levels were like that too, and this one might change, but I did notice it.

I don't think her accent was English actually, though I couldn't say what it was for sure. It wasn't heavy or thick at all...just some minor inflections I noticed. I guess she's from Nevarra, but I don't know if we know any Nevarrans in Origins to provide a comparison.

Also I wouldn't say she was crass, but she was definitely high-strung, and very intent on getting the truth out of Varric.

Well it's the demo and the beginning, there needs to be some linear qualities to move the story along.

But most important question



Who wins in terms of acting?

Male Hawke or Female Hawke?

Oh yes, her eyes were a very striking shade of blue. I really dug 'em.

I didn't really notice boob size...whether that's a good thing (like they aren't big enough to be distracting) or it means I need to turn in my man card is another question entirely.

SirOc, you've made my day a thousand times over. I just wish I could come up with a question to ask while you're still online. Alas, my mind is blank at the moment.

I probably can't compare, as I skipped most of the dialogue for FemHawke to make sure I got to the end (and I STILL didn't get to the end, though I think I was really close).

I liked both voices, but (a challenger appears!) I think Bethany wins for acting for her near-tearfulness. Both playable Hawkes were pretty stoic in that regard (not to be confused with emotionless like Shepard!).

I drank a lot of caffeine for the drive home (about 7 hours round trip), so I'll be up for a while yet. But I think I might work on my Awakening playthrough in a bit, to be ready for Witch Hunt on Tuesday. But I'll check the forums before I head off to bed.

Did you see the menus? Were you able/allowed to see the talent trees?

[Foxvos]

Did you feel like you were playing a really pre-defined character or was there a sense that you were creating your own character?



How does your family address you?

On my first playthrough I did, but curiously I don't think I leveled up on my second playthrough, or if I did I was too intent on speeding my way through I didn't notice.

The talent trees were sort of confusing. I wasn't really sure what was already purchased, what was unpurchased but available for purchase, and what was actually locked. So on the rogue, I just sort of hit A on one (something to do with dual wielding, it said something about each successive hit getting better) and got back to the game. I probably didn't spend more than 10 seconds looking at it.

We definitely could have used more time with the demo...like another 5 minutes or so.

I really knew nothing about either Hawke I played, aside from a remark from Carver about "running since Ostagar." Not sure what that means. They did have an appearance customization menu a lot like Origins (same categories), but it was all greyed out so I couldn't change name or appearance, but it really didn't refer to him or her in a way that implied some kind of already-present personality.

I don't remember Bethany or Carver ever addressing you as anything...actually Bethany might have said something when the group of darkspawn come and you have a choice of letting her take care of them or doing it yourself. She asks you if you want to take care of them, "or shall I?" I don't remember if she says "brother" or anything though. They definitely never called you "Hawke" though.

Hawke's mother does say "Listen to your brother [or sister], please!" after you urge the group to keep moving. This was after Bethany's comment about running, and Carver's comment about Ostagar, I think.

God SirOccam I would buy you a truck of cakes and cookies for staying up this late and quenching her curiousity. Thank you~



Did the graphics drastically improved from the original?



Is there a more cinematic approach to the game now?

[zahra]

So happy that the V.O for MHawke is (most probably) the same person who did Vaughan! Loved his voice acting (and I do not understand why some people are hoping that it is Jowans V.A since I found the voice nasally and whiny ugh).



Thanks for all the updates!

[HighMoon]

What do Carver, Momma and Wesley look like? Can you describe their appearance?



Are all six (Hawke, Beth, Carv, Mom, Ave, Wes) playable characters?



What is Aveline's voice actress like?

...Well, I joked about it, but I don't think anyone has been hoping seriously?

Compared to DAO on the console, I think they graphics are a million times better. (BLOWN AWAY like Silverman said). The level looked pretty good compared to the screenshots, but it did tend to look a little plain in terms of textures, especially the ground. Then again, they are the Blightlands, so it should look pretty desolate.

As for the "cinematic approach": Maybe, although I don't know if the demo is going to give us an accurate picture of that. There were a lot of cutscenes for such a short period, but again, that might be because it's a demo. I thought the cutscenes themselves were very much improved, in terms of camera angles and action. Even when you're just standing there talking, the camera moves a bit to keep it interesting. Whether that says anything about the approach to the game I don't know.
