Watch the image spam.  When in doubt, snip it out! Also careful with  memes and too much "Hi. Goodbye" stuff
Seriously I'm not meaning to sound like a darn thread nanny, I just don't want anything shut down.:pinched:

If we get a demo to play I'm going to say about 20-30 minutes at a medium pace.


hmm, im thinking those times at a crawling pace maybe... not counting character creation, if there is one

I hope it will be more than 1 hour long.

The biggest things that bother me about this are:



1. The sword and sheild don't belong on it. They were for the preorder bonus. It almost seems like a photoshop and lie.

2. It doesn't make much sense for a demo to be released over a month before the game comes out. It can't be a beta, because there wouldn;t be enough time to take in the feedback and correct everyhting. I think the games still has some kinks to work out as well.



Here's hoping for at least a charachter creator

Uh guys, lets try to stay on topic? I fear we are dangerously close to a lock.

So with that in mind, how long does everyone think the demo will be?


I'm sure it will be like 30 minutes or so...

Oh god. It finally happened.:blink:

Once upon a time (a few months ago) during a particularly epic debate about how Dragon Age 2 was like Mass Effect and several other games, someone (Dave of Canada maybe?) dared the thread to some how compare DA2 to sly cooper.

I tried and failed but finally someone managed to do it. I am in awe. :crying:

And back on topic.

So while I agree that a combat-demo would make more sense, there's a precedent for Charatcer Builders, so it
seems slightly more likely to me.
I'll honestly be happy either way, though!

I will be too and I agree about the precedent.
I don't know what to hedge my bets on in terms of likliness though. The behind-the-scenes stuff has been pretty intent on showing off the new combat. And if I recall correctly (I may not?) the combat was one of the universal complaints about origins.
Buuuut, if we look at the social network as a sample of the audience then a CB would help dispell the "we're losing all the customization" rumors.

Of course ideally we'll get a usable character creator and a playable level so that's where I'll put my bet. I bet on happiness! :D

It was 100% NOT a photoshop, saw the link to EA servers myself last night. The banner basically said 'preorder now and recieve these bonuses' as well as 'demo available now'.

P.S. please forgive my horrible translation of danish / finnish / norwegian. I THINK I am correct in the translation, though I could be mistaken.

1. The actual wording is something to the effect of: Dragon Age 2 demo out now! Pre-order the game and get the Lion of Orlais shield and the sword Fadeshear!

2. Off the top of my head, the ME2 demo for the PS3 was released about a month in advance.

Dang :ph34r:'s.

Yeah it is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, not a lie.

It still could be a mistake, but I seriously doubt it when the newsletter and pictures are paired with all the circumstantial evidence.

First bold: You are very welcome. :D

Second bold: I'm sure it will probably be the demo they showed at PAX, with some extra stuff.

Sorry to ninja wulf, but at least you confirmed what I said, my knowledge of scandinavian languages is worrisome at best.

Then again, Mass Effect 2 for the PS3 was a port.

Hey guys, my first post on this thread, all though I've been reading since the last thread that BioWare closed down for going off topic, which I really hope doesn't happen here. I just wanted to chip in, saying I'm eagerly hoping there will be a demo, and that if there is one, I want it to be an actual demo. Because I'm eager to try out the new dialogue wheel and system, and the combat, ect. ect.

If there is going to be one, I really can't wait. I pre-ordered the game when they were still having the free upgrade to the Signature Edition, and from what I've seen of it so far, it looks like it's going to be an incredible game. :)

Great post, and welcome!

I am very eager to try out the combat myself, so we are on the same page.

I want a character creator. I need to make Barack Obama Hawke now so that I won't have to waste time when I'm playing the game to do so.


Agreed I could waste the entire month with a CC,  I'd want this more then a dungeon demo.

Thank you! I'm glad we are on the same page, because I personally think this is going to be one of BioWare's greatest game so far. Their hard work has payed off phenomenally. Also, if you didn't notice my correction, instead of "I've been reading since the last post" I meant "I've been reading since the last thread, the one that got closed down." :lol:

And on that note I remember that after the bulletstorm demo came out preorders rose greatly, so their aim might be the same outcome.

Yes, The last thread was epic. My soul hurt when it got closed down, but this one can be just as good. As long as we stay mostly on-topic I doubt they will close it down again. The last thread did get a little bit silly towards the end, but I think we can make it to 100 posts again in support of a DA2 demo of some kind, be it CC or a true gameplay demo.

ETA: It is important to mention that they have still not denied that a DA2 demo exists, and that is important. Given Gaider's proclivity for making fangirls cry, had there been no demo in sight he certainly should have said so when he told us to stay on topic last night. However, all he said was to stop with the spam, which I see as a very good sign.

Time will only tell if we get a demo or not... but it is taking to darn long for us to find out if there is. my fingers are crossed that we get one in the A.M.

Exhibit A: character updates and screenshots will be down tonight for "maintenance." If we get something tomorrow, I suspect it will include a character creator.

Here's hoping we get the escape from Lothering, too. I'd really like to see gameplay, *and hear FemHawke's voice*, and the intro section shouldn't be too spoilerific. Length? 30 minutes-ish, depending on dialogues and such.

Ah yes. I believe the same, of course he would have said something if there wasn't going to be one. His silence was the answer.
