Here's a heads up.

I thought I'd mention that we just had 20 or so journaists from around the world (Germany, US, UK, Australia, etc) here at the BioWare studios for a big session of hands on gameplay and interviews with theDragon Age II  Dev team. They're done now and on their way back home to write their articles and previews of Dragon Ager II, but later this month you should be seeing a heap of new information.

They were given the game. Not the demo some of you played this past summer, but the game it's self and allowed to play from the start of the game onwards.While the game isn't finished yet, it is definitely coming together (the press know we're still polishing it up), so they were given access to whatever they wanted like which class they wanted to try, character creation, etc and allowed to play in between their interviews.

I don't know what they are going to write about, whether they liked the game or not, whether they liked coming to Edmonton in -20 degree weather (the poor Australian woman looked to be in shock) or whathaveyou, but I can say that it looked to me like they were enjoying it. Many times I saw them react by laughing, in shock, anger, etc at what they were experiencing (in the good way). So we'll see what they say in their previews.

YEAH!

Unfortunately I won't be reading 90% of it as I'm keeping myself in the dark up until release day. d:

Awsome! Can't wait for more info! Thanks for the update Chris!

[Perfect-Kenshin]

Perhaps the anger was due to the lack of companion outfit customization.

Chris could you still send them a note letting them know it's not finished and a basic character guide with spelling tips? It might save us all some grief and and extreme eye rolling. Thanks!

[Ensgnblack]

THanks so much for this info

[Calla S]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're not worried that too much information might be leaked out? Or that the game itself might be leaked out and put up for hackers to download? (hey, it happens!)

I dunno, the Hero of Cornwall and King Varric stuff provides much needed comic relief 'round these parts.

I'm not gonna lie I'd be seriously tempted...  But 99% chance of managing to refrain due to wanting the first experiance to be the best that it could be which would be ruined by DL a beta.  And yeah it sounds like 'given' meant in studio only...but one never knows.

i don't think they were "given" the game but rather played a section of the nearly finished game while they were there

Any Dutch journalists? 
Sorry, just had to ask. Still it would be fun learn more about DA 2.

Corrected.  Such is the state of "game journalism" that I believe you and the other BioWare employees who are active on the forums will be back here later this month with a score of corrections to calm the outrage and quash the falsehoods.  One wonders why they don't call or E-mail you their articles for fact checking before going to press.

should have put battle royale style collars on their necks and threatened to set them off if they messed up.

[Special_Agent_Goodwrench]

Oh yeah! I thought I'll die of boredom by the end of this month. That info could keep me going a while longer.

[Tamyn]

Squee!

[Brockololly]

Were they given the PC version of the game to play?

[silver-crescent]

So are they allowed to talk about (reveal) the companions and stuff like that?

[EgoSoul]

Yay!

[andar91]

Squee indeed.

[mellifera]

Wow, awesome. Can't wait for more info

Excellent question.  All the hoopla has been about the consoles thus far. 

[Amagoi]

That sounds like a lot of info coming up. I don't know if my information starved heart can take it!!
