You mean that the other difficulty levels have 0% friendly fire or just a lesser percentage than 100%? In DAO you had 50% on medium and 100% on hard if I remember right, and I think it was fine, although I'd preferred complete friendly fire even on medium.

Currently friendly fire is all or nothing, and only on Nightmare difficulty.

Is the aggro system the same?
Like people in heavier armor are more likely to aggro then someone in light armor?

The current aggro system is the same as DAO. Balancing of that for DA2 still remains to be done.

Thanks for doing this thread, its awesome!

Couple questions:
1.) Can we toggle walking for our companions? In Origins if you triggered your PC to walk, they would stroll along but the rest of the companions would sprint and stop to catch up.

I believe the system has not changed from DAO.

2.) Maybe this isn't your area, but will we be able to import from Witch Hunt? There is talk that since there is no post game save, everything we do in Witch Hunt doesn't matter in terms of DA going forward...

I don't know the answer to that. I don't know if a decision has been made.

Will there be gamepad support for PC? Coupled with that is: Will there be the option for PC's combat to use the console style/ui?

Last I heard, each system ships only with its own UI. So consoles will look a certain way and use a controller, but PC will look a different way and use the keyboard and mouse.

How many unique abilities will the specializations unlock?

Are there any improvements to the tactics system such as multi-condition action assignment?

Will us be able to achieve a level beyond 20? I mean, did the level cap change?

The exact level and XP caps have not been determined yet.

[nuclearpengu1nn]

will enemies respawn?

[Loc'n'lol]

I read most replies but I may have been a little fast over some of them so indulge me if this was sneaked in somewhere before



You said earlier that rogue weapon talents scale with dexterity so far, anything you can say about the cunning attribute ? Will other classes have more use for it than in DAO ? Is it even still around ?



Second question, can warriors use ranged weapons (to pull and soften before melee), even though the related talents are for rogues only ?

Uhm is it possible to use like singlehanded swords in two hands and use the two-handed weapon abilities?

No, each weapon works with the style for which it is intended.

also is there an attribute that determined attack speed?

No attribute determines attack speed. The base speed is determined by the speed of the animation itself. Certain things can increase the speed of all the character's animations, though (like Momentum in DAO).

Can you develop a mage into a viable melee fighter, like trailer hawke?

A Mage can focus on abilities and attributes that will help him in combat. Things like Strength, Constitution and Magic (for damage). Some abilities he can get are focused on defensiveness and others work at close range. Additionally you can select equipment geared for better defense as well. If you build your character that way, he will have a good chance to stand up to people in melee combat. However, a Warrior who goes all the way will be better at it than the Mage will. His purpose is built around close combat, so more of his equipment and abilities are geared to that.

 Are there bow-strings or sword sheaths?
..I assume no..

He'll tell you that's not a gameplay-related question
I think sword sheaths have already been ruled out, though.

Does the warrior have a charge ability?

Yes, it was used in the demos. The warrior rushes forward, hitting everyone along his path.

Does the warrior have any range attacks skills?

Not really. He is focused almost exclusively on melee. He does have melee AoE abilities which extend a certain distance from his body.

[rogue_assassin]

lol fair enough, I can reword:



After a sword swing or dagger thrust, would the character replace their weapon in a sheath? hold onto it until you activated a "put away" function, or auto-holster..

THE MOST IMPORTANT Questions that deserves its own post....
Will Creatures still have the ability to chain overwhelm?
If so, will there be something we can do about it?

Overwhelm was... annoying. I'm not saying that no creature in the game has that type of ability, but instances where creatures do things like that (like the Ogre Grab) will be placed very carefully.

One new feature of DA2 is our impact system. If you hit someone hard enough, or with an ability that has an impact bonus, the target will react: getting knocked around, stumbling, or even flying off their feet). This can be used to interrupt whatever the creature is doing, including attacks, overhwelms, running, etc.

The downside of that is that you get knocked around too if the enemies hit you hard enough.

Has the constipated ape running animation been fixed?

[nuclearpengu1nn]

is there any new weapon talent for rogues aside from DW and AR

In DAO I think that the enemies had too many similar features, so that darkspawn, dwarves, elves, humans and all shared almost the same weakness and strenghts and you could use the same spells and tactics against them and have a good result.
In DA2 will enemies be more various and different one from another, as (for example) in BG2 where you actually had to adopt different tactics due to your enemy, so that when facing a mind flayer you have to behave not in the same way than when fighting a beholder or a troll?

We are trying to have enemies differ in both stats and behaviour. The archetype system divides creatures into different categories that determine how they act and react. Individual creatures or creature types will also have more defined strengths and vulnerabilities. If Fire damage is doing only half to a certain type of creature, or knockdowns don't work against them, you may need to adapt your tactics.

That's great news. I just hope that no creature with those abilities can be completely immune to those effects, like, say, dragons, that only mages could really interrupt with their stun and knockdown immunities.
