The Total War series has generals and officials with traits and attributes that give them personality. They can range from fertility to battlefield competence to tax efficiency.



It's a system that while limited in the TW games, could easily be expanded I think. Furthermore there's another strategy game by Paradox Interactive called Crusader Kings that is based mostly on running a medieval noble family, and takes that idea even further.

Crusader Kings is a fun game.

You can involve RPG elements fully within a tactical wargame.All that RPG elements are, effectively, is the dialogue interface and choice variabilty you have as a player.

When you put aside combat, what distinguishes Vampire:The Masquerade:Bloodlines, ME1, ME2, and DA:O? PC VO to an extent, but really it does not matter if you have an FPS, a semi-FPS, or a more traditional RPG. The RP element can be given exclusively via the dialogue system and character gen. system.

Very good read. I would get excited if they did a RTS or TBS type game. There are plenty of examples of games that combined good RPG elements with an RTS - even if you don't like the franchise, Warcraft and Starcraft both managed to combine RPG and RTS and were/are very successful. Something closer to Total War, TW2 or TW Rome would be a lot of fun (haven't played the latest ones) is what I would prefer.



I also like the family dynamic aspect of it. It has been a long time since playing a game with a sibling (think they mentioned BG and Imoen and that really is the last time that I can remember.



Thanks for the link. Very good read.

The first thing that popped into my head when I read it, (probaby because of all the Dynasty Warrior comparisons floating around this board)  was Dynasty Warrior Tactics.  Which, to those of you who didn't play it as a kid, was a story driven, cinimatic TBS.

As a kid?  Wasn't Dynasty Tactics released in 2002?

In Shogun 2 they are expanding it as well. Or at least how you interact with them, I believe they said you could tell a general to commit seppeku or arrange them to be married into your family, etc. to help with loyalty.

One of the many things that I'm really looking forward to.  I'm 100% sure the AI won't live up to the hype, but anyone who is a devotee of that franchise probably sees that coming too.

Really the only thing I've heard about Shogun 2 that I don't like is how mod-unfriendly it's going to be.  Shame.

Well maybe, keep in mind I'm 25, I'm pretty sure it was a PS1 game however.  Maybe I'm misremembering when I played it.

Edit, Ok, it's a PS2 game, and yes, 2002 was when it was released.

RTS from Dragon Age universe, made by Bioware? WOW! That could be interesting.

[Nighteye2]

Interestingly, about the no subtitle part, I've seen some of the pre-order sites call it DA2: Exodus.



Was that the subtitle before the decision was made to go without one?

[Inzhuna]

Da2: Exodus? Never heard that before, and I've been following DAII since announcement. Weird. Which site did you see it at?

Several stores. E-plaza, for example.

I can't remember where, but I'm pretty sure one of the devs did mention DA2 was known as DA2: Exodus for a while.

[upsettingshorts]

I still like leonia42's idea of DA2: Ascension. Sure, it conflicts with one of the Mass Effect novels, but who cares?



Fits the "rise to power" thing quite nicely, and it's good and short.

[Cypher0020]

Wooow that bit with the family is nice. To actually feel like you know the other members of the Hawke family....



also... I read somewhere that Hawke will be used only with people he/she is familar with? that'd be nice.... it irked me being called 'warden' 24/7

I can see Carver/Bethany calling you bro/sis, your mother calling you something adorably embarrasing, party members going by Hawke and most people by "hey, you" or, once Hawke gets his/her position, "Champion".

Besides, I liked being called Warden. It beats being called "duster scum".

[Ansa]

yeah let's do family...

more romances..

DAO2: Sims incoming

Lol at whatever happened to RPG games from Bioware

[Bryy_Miller]

Oh, you. You're just annoyed that there is an elf that a percentage of players may be able to make sweet love to.

great interview!!

look forward to the Hawke family dynamics and history, and to playing as an apostate Mage!!

Apostate Mage, this is an old wish of mine, consequences for being an apostate, being hunted down..etc   Surviving the odds. 

Looking forward to DA:2 ..and thats a fact.

Where do you see the Dragon Age franchise going from here?
MD: One of my long term goals for the Dragon Age franchise is to have it be one of those fantasy IPs that's up there with Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter... That's a very grand thing and we're not going to get there tomorrow, but definitely more games in this vein, more games advancing the storyboard. We've got anime coming from Funimation, more linear stuff — comic books, books, things like that. But also other games around the peripherals... mobile stuff. I could easily imagine us doing some sort of strategy game in the future, especially if we want to get into very large, political stories where we have nations fighting against each other. So there's a lot still to be done.

so are we gonna get a Dragon Age anime now from funimation!? That would be awesome? Can someone tell me what they meant by that they got "anime coming from Funimation"? What will it be anybody know?

[LilKis1]

Can anyone answer my question plz? Thanks
