But I don't do that.  I'm roleplaying all of the characters in combat, and they don't always work that well as a group.  So that leads to characters being caught in situations that are far from ideal.

And here I thought I was the only one that did that..

On topic, I just can't see it beating BGII out for the throne.  I don't see the characters being as compelling or the combat as technical, but, big but here, the overarching story might be better in DA2..

Honestly, I'm not looking forward to the combat in DA2, the artstyle looks clay like, a voiced protag irks me.. But the frame narrative and the concentration on family might just win me over and perhaps, it might make me literally love the game, or I might hate it.. All depends, but atm, I am actually pretty excited about the story and family relationships as that's a very fresh idea in the modern gaming world..

The concentration of family concerns me, as it seems as though they're trying to tell a more personal story.

But how can they do that without restricting my freedom to design Hawke's personality?  And if they don't restrict my roleplaying freedom, then they literally don't know anything about Hawke's motives or goals, so how can they possibly tell a personal story about him?

I've already let the hope for a personalized character die the second a voiced protagonist was announced.. Now I'm simply hoping for a well told story, really that's all.. Customization beyond looks will most likely be nill, just as it was in both Mass Effects.

DA2 better than BG2 as a whole? Bwhahahaha...

I'l believe it when I see it.

I only know in which ascpect I can expect DA2 to be superior (choices, characters, story flow) and in which to be inferior. Unfortunately, DA2 seems to fail in some very important aspects. (atmosphere, immersion, some mechanics)

I wish Bioware would stop bringing it up. If a lot the BG2 leads were working on DA2, fair enough but I doubt that's the case.

How do we know that is was they who brought it up? They may have been asked how the two compared. As for staff who worked on both, BG2's Lead Programmer is now DA2's Executive Producer, one of the artists is now Art Director, and there's the two writers who wrote the majority of BG2's companions. I think there are a few more too.

Surely anybodies most current work will be held up against what is seen to be their highest achievement thus far, be it a games company, a sports team or a musician?.
