Well, Isabela wears a black thong, so that's darker and sexier (allegedly). I'd rather not wonder how gritty her nether parts are, though.

Now seriously, I'd bet that's just another marketing slogan, like spartans pressing awesome buttons.

This made me lol. 

Then it made me scared.

Which button makes things sexier in DA2?, I'm not so botrhered about it being darker though as I usually play with my eyes closed anyway.

The new style sort of precludes it from being darker and grittier (not a criticism).

So, what does dark and gritty mean?

I dunno about dark and gritty but I'm really hoping for lots of intrigue. I loves me some intrigue.

Just watch Pokemon Apokelypse and you'll see what it means.

Sexier? Not enough clues, other than what we know of Isabela.

There will certainly be more cleavage.

Yes, Jack was messed in a bad way because she was experimented on as a child by the very organization that the Commander is now working with.

I don't recall anyone the Commander knew being impaled. Nor was their death the Commander's fault. In ME 2, crew members are kidnapped, and if they die it's because the Commander decided to complete more missions before going through the relay.

I'm not sure why you brought up shown vs told as that doesn't have anything to do with darkness.

Shown not tell has a *lot* to do with darkness. Jack's backstory is told not shown. You see the conditions but frankly that had no impact on me. The bloodstains I guess it was because of Jack's complete alieness to me. I wasn't attached to her and felt nothing on that mission but a "...is this going to be over soon?" 

Eh, Jack wasn't all that "dark" imo.  She was like what that 15 year old sheltered emo kid smoking ciggs on the corner, who thinks their life is sooo harsh and unfair, would consider to be dark.   In other words, she was weak and annoying, (or at least I found her to be so).   Then again, I'm looking at her from a males perspective, (and also a warriors ) I tend to have little patience for irrationally emotional people.  You had a ****ed up child hood? Boo Hoo, you are young, alive, and the Universe (or at least the galaxy I guess) is your playground, reach down, grab your balls (figuratively) and get over it. 

I guess personal strength isn't really a necessity for a dark character, but she was just too obviously contrived for me to really attach any deeper themes to her.  I mean I guess I could, but if the subtlety and nonhackiness of the writing isn't there, it's like working up the motivation to bother to disect a Sponge Bob character.  (I'll spare you my rant on ME2's writing)

But that was the whole point of Jack. She was mistaken about her memories and her past. In a way, she was a spoiled brat, and you get to call her on that, if I remember correctly.

Uhh, gonna have to disagree with you, relhart. Jack had a pretty godawful life before Shepard ever came into the picture. Sheltered she was not.

Lots of people have it much worse, and get through life just fine without being obsessive and whiny about it.  However I wasn't saying she was sheltered, that was a just an unnecessarily snide comment directed at emo kids.

Oh good. We're having this discussion again. I really didn't get enough of the, "What does dark and gritty mean?" before Origins shipped.

I'm guessing it means what it meant for Origins, only more so.

lol Make it sexier by using the Kinects, Playstation Move, or webcam for the romance scenes.

It says I have to put the controller where!!!

The game can be darker, just adjust your picture settings.
The game can be grittier, just lower your resolution
The game can be sexier, just add "between the sheets to the end of every line"

I'm fully expecting to fight like a Darker Spartan and think like a Sexier General in DA 2! Yeah, wooo, kickass!

[Snoteye]

How is it marketing is even getting away with the "darker" part? I'm sure you can read all sorts of racist undertones into that.

I didn't until you mentioned it.

Now I won't be able to stop thinking about it.

Hmm, no, I'm not sure you can.  Well I guess you could pull all sorts of baseless things out of your ass if you wanted to, but that would be silly.
