I think the reason that we forget the cursing in DA:O is because it was so well integrated, and seemed natural and not over the top. I have confidence that it will remain so. As for this preview, it fills me with glee.

If I could have them swear in iambic pentameter, though, I'd definitely do it a lot more.

Next game.  I'd love all the dialogue to be in verse.

If Ian McShane had voiced Hawke, i"d have preordered a dozen copies by now:wizard:

So long as it was tasteful.  I'd hate to have another Grobnar (--and yes, I know that wasn't Bioware's fault).

His quote at the Kings panel (at SDCC 2008) was brilliant. He was stuck in traffic, so over the phone, he goes: "If this ******* traffic doesn't ******* move in a time, I will take out a mother******* knife and start slitting *****suckers throats".

Destructoid? It's a pretty good preview, but I sure hope they don't let Jim Sterling review the final game...

[Bryy_Miller]

They should let Ashley Burch do it.

I think they have a better use of space, with the giant heads, than they did previously. Also not sure if it was this preview or another that gave us the screenshot that didn't have the ginormous health bars, since the UI doesn't scale with resolution.

Ahh i was focusing more on the appearance rather than size of elements; when it comes to that, you're right.

According to Darrah, the level cap is now 50, FWIW.

Was mainly puzzled about the actual values -- 3-5% of defense/armour just doesn't sound like much, especially since i believe it's weighted against opponent of equal level. If these values are something like bonus added to the base value... then it doesn't really seem like much of difference, either.

Amazing. That man has made me do something I swore I wouldn't do ever since the dreadfully undwhelming sequel too: Look forward to a Pirates of the Caribbean film.

If he voiced -anyone- in DA2 I would be joining you on a dozen pre-orders Brock!

This is by far the best-written DA2 preview I've yet read.

[themageguy]

i agree. Brilliant article!

[Eski.Moe]

Destructoid is great. Love the preview. Very well detailed and puts some things to rest. Can't wait.

Agreed, on the screenshots in these latest previews because they're obviously on higher resolution screens than the combat video was done on they look better in terms of the space they take up.

[PsychoBlonde]

I really like the comment on the "Show, don't tell" thing. I've been bugging Bioware to work more on that aspect for a while now. Soooo exciiiiiiteddddddd.

[Aoba]

Wonderful preview. Certainly looks like DA2 will be one helluva game. If I find out before release that Fenris is not just a companion, but also an LI, I will shout my undying love of Bioware to the heavens. Nobody would actually be able to hear me, though, as I live out in The Middle of Nowhere, Texas, but it's the thought that counts, right?

As far as swears go, I hope they include some from DAO and DAA: My favourites include, "By the ****** of my ancestors," "Andraste's flaming sword," "Maker's breath," and my #1 fave, "Andraste's knicker-weasels!" If Anders returns in DA2, even for just a bit, and says that, I will honour the moment by tattooing the swear on the back my neck. It's just that awesome.

Agreed.

It was this preview combined with the PC combat gameplay video that have brought me back around.

This preview was very, very well written.

[HolyJellyfish]

I love how he Demo'd the game and wrote it with Lady Hawke in mind. There's a certain disconnection between mentioning Hawke as a lady and the screen caps, but if its enough to make people research what he's talking about (who don't know the brand very well), I'm pleased as punch.

Yep, I do agree. Very well written, very informative and reassuring.

Laughed at the Q&A with Gaider.

So "more focused" seems like fewer quests to me...

[upsettingshorts]

Not necessarily. All I've gotten from the info released so far is that you'll get less at a time. Instead of 40 quests you can get at any time, you'll get 10 during the first part of the narrative, another 10, then another 10, then another 10.

As to how many there are total, I do expect less overall because it'll be shorter than Origins. But they've been saying that for a while.

[RussianSpy27]

shorter than Origins = "we're making it more focused blah blah" (add more politically correct talk), which in reality means "all that long development on Origins paid off financially only to an extent and cost a lot...now we're cutting costs and making more cash"



(No, Mr. Woo, there is nothing wrong with that, as long as you guys throw some "Shadow Broker" level DLC at us to compensate for the short game )

Well, I felt that origins was a bit too long (thinks of deep roads and the fade with loathing) so hopefully DA2 wont having any excruciatingly dragging parts like DAO did. 

Pace is important, especially when your dealing with a story-character driven game.
