basically they had the 10 minute demo involving the rogue and Isabella...still a positive preview

"...Isabella, the capable duelist, and the woman with whom you and your party may have initiated a wild, sexual foursome."

No, it was the non-sexual kind! Clearly a n00b.

Hah, they're going to have fun with this one.

[Saibh]

Eh, I don't see why. It said nothing we didn't already know.

[Olivier_dehFanboy]

just because it will be less "hardcore" than DA:O, it doesn't mean that the game will be boring.



In all honesty, the main reason you should be excited for this game is entirely because of the lore and the detailed world.

[Nefario]

It's not so much that it provides any new facts, just that it states some opinions that some posters are almost certainly going to latch on to. Specifically:



"...the same streamlining that occurred between Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 is occurring here between Dragon Age and its upcoming sequel."

"...a shift away from more hardcore RPG nature of its predecessor."



I foresee flames. Thread's gonna burn!



(P.S. - Not that I don't appreciate the preview; thanks for finding and posting it)

[Saibh]

No offense, but I think it's a tad rude to claim people--a specific group of people--are going to march in and overreact. I don't see anyone who dislikes the changes marching into positive preview threads saying "Ha ha, here comes all those BioWare apologists!".

It sounds like all the streamlining stuff related to gameplay. I'm down with that as long as it doesn't have Jade Empire-style "you must fight the same 3 mobs every time you reenter this room" crap for some reason. (Jade Empire was a very streamlined, almost simplistic game in a lot of ways yet I really enjoyed it once I got into it.)

No offense taken, seeing as how I didn't specify any particular group. I agree that if I had, it would have been quite rude. But, based on what's frequently seen in these forums, I'd say it's a pretty reasonable prediction that at least a couple people are going to overreact to the statements made in the preview, no?

Meh, same **** different preview

I read quite a bit, that's where I get my "lore and detailed world" fixes from.  The best video game isn't going to be able to do those things as well as even a crappily written novel.   I play vids for game mechanics.  Streamlined and simplified are not the kind of mechanics I find entertaining.  I find things that are too easy and unconvoluted to be boring.  (not that there is anything intrinsically wrong with those types of games, they just aren't for me)

Granted I can always stick to my strategy games, and indy rpg's, but Bioware has been good for more strategy based RPG's before, so the disappointment they are moving away from the more PnP type of RPG's is understandable imo.
It's also understandable that they don't want to be making niche rpg's forever, and might want to put their kids through school at some point too however, so I think respectful disappointment is called for.  Not...that it would ever not be.

All the previews have been of the console versions so far, so I reserve judgement.

Not for me, though those definitely help. I'm excited because of the added focus on making the game more cinematic, as well as the combat.

yes, people almost never take that into consideration.

I'm a console gamer...PC games are hard to adjust to after spending ur life playing console games. I tried playing crysis, and deus ex(though i finished this one) on the PC, and it was just too hard...so i can't see myself hating(or even feeling a bit disappointed) bioware for the changes the've made to the game, though i do sympathize with the hardcore fans.

I'll just hold my tongue and only say that it would be very nice if they'd at least show the PC version to preview article writing individuals one of these days. Cause while "a shift away from more hardcore RPG nature" of Origins may appeal to some, for a good many others, its stuff like that being repeated over and over which makes DA2 look very unappealing.

From the article:

 "Our immediate impressions from the scant ten minutes we were able to play is that the same streamlining that occurred between Mass Effect[/i] and Mass Effect 2[/i] is occurring here between Dragon Age[/i] and its upcoming sequel."


I really need to quit reading these reviews.

Once again, Laidlaw has to enter the lion's den and explain why this isn't an entry level RPG.

Oh god...The panic button has been pressed again...

Nothing new.



More pandering.

No, it was the non-sexual kind! Clearly a n00b.

You mean she wasn't just showing me her ship?

No panic, just an accumulation of reviews that contradict what the devs have said about the game. It's a result of Bioware's unique marketing tactic, to show something and then explain it away.

Well that sucks, only 6 buttons on the console, any chance for cross system saves? & less tactical combat gives me a bad feeling... I need an emote of grinding teeth

The mast was very impressive...

It's still going to be an RPG. Some people need to off the ol' elitist obsolete game loving high-horse.

So it will be intense, there will be some action, it won't be slow as a slug, it will be entertaining to watch, the sky is falling. Role playing is taking on the role of a character that is not you, making their story happen the way you want, or watching it happen the way it does around them based on the written story.



DA2 will be awesome, and i am excited that they changed some things from origins.
