Sorry if this has been asked already but will we be able to have our companions do a number of actions in a row. Using Oghren for example I pause the game click on him would there be a way queue it up so that he'd use Sunder Armor followed Mighty Blow followed by Critical strike then have him chug a potion? Or will it be one action only.

Will polearms finally be available for use?
Regardless if it's a yes or no, will the weapon shown in the trailer be available for use? And will it have a unique animation rather than just being a disjointed greataxe or two handed sword?
Will the game run on the same engine as DA:O thus, if you can run DA:O can you run this?

First, once again, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to answer these questions...
Now, on to my own...Im not sure if this is an animation question or if it's more combat related, but here goes. In the original dragon age, you had two weapon sets that players/party members could switch back and forth (using tactics for party members), so that (for example) when nathaniel got melee attacked, he would switch to his melee weapons and attack that way. With the removal of a secondary weapon set, how would a party member who is an archer react to a melee attack? Would he simply back away enough to start effectively using the bow again or would he temporarily switch to default DW until the immediate melee threat is taken care of (bows aren't exactly the best weapon to deal with someone at close range)

Will sustainables active in the quickbar be more brightly lit up this time? Not that I'm blind or anything, or that it's particularly difficult to tell in DAO, but it'd be nice if it were a bit more noticeable.

So if Magic alone determines all offensive abilities all mages will be something of an arcane warrior in DA2? I can't see how impact resistance would be beneficial enough to boost instead of everything that is combined into Magic.
I'm just really hoping stat building will have meaningful choices this time around and allow builds that play differently. In the case of mages, determine their combat/spellcasting focus so that we can have builds like the fragile archmage who needs protection or the more survivable battlemage with less magic potential.

When can you talk about specializations?
I don't know if you get to talk to the animation people that much, but please, please, please tell them not to make us do melee attacks with a bow (Peter Thomas wrote...
This is mainly an animation question but, like the staff, if an enemy got too close to a bow-wielding character, the character would play melee animations (using the bow or however animation wants to depict it) until his target was out of melee range. The effectiveness of his attacks would be the same as firing arrows at people.bsbcaer wrote...

). Not only would it look silly, any archer will tell you how completely unrealistic it is. Good bows are hard to make, and risking damaging one by smacking someone with it is something any worthwhile archer would never do.

I may be missing some intricacies here but doesn't that mean you're creating/using a separate system to essentially come full circle and re-introduce the damage types, just differently named?Peter Thomas wrote...
Originally DAO did have slashing, piercing and blunt type damages, but that was removed. (..)
With armor now being a percentage reduction of damage, armor penetration doesn't matter so much since you'll still always be doing some amount of damage. We're also trying to emphasize the different types of damage (physical, fire, cold, etc), so having a de-emphasis on armor (physical damage resistance) helps with that.

At the expense of sounding like an alarmist, does that bolded section mean playing as a warrior involves button mashing/furious mouse clicking to regen stamina?Peter Thomas wrote...
The subject of stamina regeneration is another issue. We want each class to feel different in how it regains stamina/mana. This system has not been finalized. Currently, Warriors regain stamina through specific ability usage, Rogues through attacks, and Mages through passive regeneration. This is the base method for each class. There are still mana and stamina potions, and giving specific regeneration abilities or equipment to characters can increase their rates and capabilities.
The gameplay feel is the Warriors press a button repeatedly to regain stamina, then can unleash their abilities. Rogues attack constantly, punctuating it with abilities. Mages need to be a bit more tactical and conserve energy for the best time to strike as their mana is constantly replenished.
This is the way the system currently works, but will be subject to balancing and testing.
So does this mean that if we specialized a mage for primarily healing, they'd be kind of redundant and worthless in DA2 since the other classes have mechanisms of healing on their own in combat now outside of potions?Peter Thomas wrote...
Mages are the class with the ability to heal others. Both Warriors and Rogues do have abilities (though I can't go into specifics) that are capable of healing themselves (in addition to potions). A Mage that focuses on healing, though, won't be as much good for other things.

Will sustainables still work as they did in Origins (aside from the 'percentage of stamina/mana pool as cost' issue)? Specifically, is triggering a sustainable simply going to limit your maximum effective stamina/mana pool as it did in Origins, or would said stamina/mana be 'reserved for sustainable' and available for use once the sustainable is no longer active?
It's probably the former, but I just want to put the idea out there - having the sustainables work in the second manner would avoid situations where you can activate them when you have no stamina/mana at pretty much no cost.

Thank you for still keeping this going.
Is there anything that you couldn't talk about when this thread began that you can now talk about? (ie any gameplay systems finalized in the intervening time?)
If so could you please provide us with deatails?
Thanks again for all your patience in answering questions,
MomoJamo wrote...
thx for the reply another question if i may
Do you think DA2 is being rushed at all? i mean i hear talk about time and budget alot
and in the Pax interview with gaider he says it more about time then budget, so are you getting
the time you need to make this game the best it can be and not rushed to meet the deadline?
I would rather wait a few extra months and have the game the best as it can and not miss out on stuff that can make the game better.

Peter,
you mentioned that everything a Warrior does, except some abilities, will be an AOE, including basic attacks.
1. Does that apply to both 2h and Sword and Shield warriors?
2. Does that also mean warriors are only effective against groups of enemies?
What if you are only attacking a single enemy? Will you still be able to do that?
Or, is the warrior's attacks such that, if there are other enemies near the enemy you are attacking, they will be affected the warrior's attacks, too?
I just wanted to clarify.
3. Also, since warriors no longer have acces to Archery, are there any plans to give warriors ranged attacks through other means ( maybe through spec, perhaps )?
And that doesn't have to mean using bows, but, say, charging their weapon with spirit energy and then releasing it as a spirit blast at the enemy.........
