I think they just hate us now because no one liked their Facebook beta announcement.


Yet enough people signed up for the Beta that it briefly overwhelmed their servers/expectations.  I think it's safe to say yet again that our forum is simply a collection of particular interest groups and not necessarily representative of Bioware's customer base as a whole.


They promised a cookie.

If Bioware releases a Dev diary in the weeks to come showing off the Character Creator BEFORE the demo arrives, that should settle it.

I really don't mind the lack of the Character Creator. While it would be nice to get a glimpse of it and see what the new options are, since we can't import our Demo save to the final version, it would be kind of a waste of time to create a custom Hawke.



for me, the Demo is just to test out the new gameplay and get a feel for how the classes play. enough to hold me over for 2 weeks........lol

Hi folks. Here are the answers to some of your most frequently asked questions.

1 - Can we import from Origins into this demo?
The demo does not have a character or save game import feature.
[/list]2 - Is there a character creator with the demo or do we play default Hawke?
No. While you can modify your character in the main game, this is disabled in the demo
[/list]3 - Does the demo allow you to just start the full version of DA2 from where the demo leaves off?
No.
The demo begins with the beginning of Dragon Age II and then shows you a
glimpse of a mission that occurs later on in the game.
[/list]4 - Will it show off DX11 effects on the PC?
DX11 features will only be available on the PC purchase copy of Dragon Age 2.
[/list]5 - Can we play Male and Female Hawke?
Yes you can choose male or female Hawke.
[/list]6 - How do I get the demo for my Xbox 360 or my PS3?
The xbox 360 demo will be available through Live. The PS3 demo will be available through Playstation Network

:devil:



Thanks for the info Chris:wizard:

I can't believe I missed this! I should check the community site more often than once every 2 months for meaningful posts. Yay for demos! Thanks Bioware, you guys are still number two on my list. Sorry... but Turbine trumps all :P

Dang!, Now I'll have to wait for the full game to put DX11 through it's paces, no matter, I'm still looking forward to the demo.

Nice to get a confirmation. While I already pre-ordered the SE, I'm still eager to get a hands-on sneak peek of the game, and see how the game plays.

For me the demo's to:

See what clas i'll play 1st

See if they improved mages to see if i'll aturally play as a mage, in origins i never made it past 1 major part of the story, which was redcliffe, and i only did it so i could use the money glitch to give all my money to the soldiers at camp to level up to 20 to get the trophie Posted Image

Bad move with the removal of the character creator from the demo. People are gonna think there's no character creator in the full game too


Why would anyone think that when Origins had one?  Even though Mass Effect had Cdr. Shepard, you could still customize him.

I'm sure most people who would try the demo with no prior knowledge of Dragon Age before trying the demo would either assume that a character creator is in the full game, or they wouldn't care otherwise.

You used a money glitch to buy the lv 20 achievement?  Mages can do everything but pick locks (fixed with mods).  If you didn't find mages to be fun in Origins, I doubt you'd find them any more fun to play, especially with no arcane warrior/melee mage option.

I imagine you'll get a key that you can redeem in your EA/Bioware account.

Origins also had multiple races and origins. With people complaining about how DA2 is dumbed down, this will just add more fuel to the fire. Mark my words, these forums will be filled with people crying why you can't customize your character.

Even now, loads of people think you'll be playing a premade male character which you can't customize 'cos of BioWare's idiotic marketing. Every week a new threads pops out asking whether you can customize Hawke and crying about how they wanna play their own character

fuel and fire? sounds like this is fuel adding to your own fire.

sounds like you dont like DA2 and are looking for more reasons to hate it.  its quite a stretch that having a demo is a bad thing unless the game is actually bad.  also if you hate DA2 direction, dont buy it, move on, adios, nice knowin ya Posted Image

What? Read more carefully ******.

I'll be getting DA2 day one and I'm trying to say that lots of people have the wrong idea about DA2 from having misinformation. I'm actually trying to DEFEND DA2 if you actually read my response.

I'm very excited for the demo and I never said it's a bad thing. And whoever said I hate DA2's direction? I love the fact that it'll have a voiced protagonist and it'll be more cinematic.

Why don't you try READING next time before making idiotic statements, moron

this would be ideal.  they did something similar with a Me2 diary showing armor customization.

Thanks for answering the questions we had. Too bad on character creator being disabled, but glad to know either way.

No. While you can modify your character in the main game, this is disabled in the demo

Based on this, I'm definitely not playing the demo before I get the main game.

I want my first exposure to the voice-over to be associated with the face I design.  It's more likely to work for me then because I won't associate it with a different face.

In the main game, your first VO will be with the vanilla Hawke before the Character creator kick in, so your association may be out of the window...<_<
