seems to confirm that fem-hawke will have more feminine postures.......THANK GOD.....Femshepard was ridiculously mannish in her behaviours and postures
Well, it kind of made sense that the female version of Commander Shepard would be that way - she is a space marine, after all. (In fact, being a tiny little feminine-looking girl myself, I loved playing as an intimidating, butt-kicking lady space marine.crimzontearz wrote...

) But the more "feminine" poses and models will be cool to see in DA2 - the way female characters stood and moved in DAO did look a bit off.

So, umm...is the Times New Roman font really here to stay? I know it's not the most dire issue, but the world is filled with so many pretty, interesting fonts...I would have been satisfied with sticking with Mikadan. I have to create and look at documents made with Times New Roman all day. It's disconcerting to see it in a video game. I feel like I might have to start proofreading.

A bit disappointed by the info that only the two major decisions really count for anything from
origins. I'm also annoyed by how IGN uses their typical marketing strategy of 'that game had flaws here, here, and here so play the sequel because it "fixes" them'. Personally, I liked my creatable silent protagonist, he had plenty of life to me and their facial features did change to accomadate events from what I saw.

Haha- yeah, thats very true. I knew there was something odd about the dialogue and I think thats it. Not a huge issue, but at least they didn't go with Papyrus or Comic Sans:PPhoenix_Loftian wrote...

Funny thing is, despite how well a game is initially reviewed and praised on most of the big gaming sites, you wait a year or so and when the sequel is ready to come out and they unleash the inevitable "5 Things We Want in BlahBlah Game 2" they always rip the original to shreds. Yet you never see those negative points brought up in the original review.
I didn't care much for how the IGN preview was written either but it was at least a tiny bit better than most have been in trying to tear up Origins.

I seem to recall reading that the three possible choices if you haven't completed and imported Origins are Drunk Alistair with Anora ruling, Alistair ruling alone, and Alistair ruling with Anora. In the case of drunk Al, I believe Loghain sacrificed himself, but I can't remember the details for the endings where Alistair rules. One would have to be Ultimate Sacrifice and another Dark Ritual, but I don't know which would be which. Maybe I'm wrong and one of the possibilities is for Alistair to sacrifice himself, but that would seem like a waste. I mean, they can give him a cameo, but they can't give the Warden one because Wardens can be so different. Or so I'd think.HolyAvenger wrote...
I wonder what three main endings of DAO you can import are...US (Alistair alone?), Loghain's redemption (Ali + Anora?), DR (Anora alone?)

Ahh are these from the import to Awakenings? Cool. I will get around to doing an Orlesian Warden run with Awakenings at some point.Estelindis wrote...

Just tell me that it doesn't fade away on the PC. I think I saw that in one of the German previews how the portraits faded away out of combat and I 'd find that terribly annoying considering alot of time I use the portraits to select a companion.

There's a key to hide it. I think it's "V." Same as Origins, if I recall correctly.
