Hi guys,

I was fortunate to get a very early hands-on with DA2, and without spoiling anything, let me just say you have a lot to be excited about. I'll offer you all a few observations I made:

1) I nearly had an angry fit when the only char options were default male or female, warrior, rogue or mage. Thankfully, character customizing happens, but after the tutorial level is played (phew!). Posted Image

2) It's true that you can't choose your race, you can only be human -which no matter what the reason - I think is a huge mistake. The best thing DA1 did was offer different intro stories for different races. Even if you never played all the intros, just knowing they're out there waiting enhances the quality of the game. Posted Image

3) Graphics are definitely smoother & sharper, facial close-ups feature intricate details like fine hairs and skin pores. Posted Image

4) Movement is less “robotic”, definitely feels more realistic. Posted Image

5) Combat has changed a little. Instead of pressing A once to enter attack mode, you press A for each standard strike, then a different button for each special ability (like before). I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing yet. It feels cool at first, though I wonder if it'll take away too much from the turn-based RPG element down the track? Posted Image

That's all I'll say for now. Despite the fact you can't choose your race (silly, silly, silly...) I think you're all in for a treat!

You remind me of that dork on youtube who said he met the producer of Diablo 3 and the guy gave him a copy of it to play. You're clearly full of crap. You basically just told us all things we all already know without playing the game in a weak attempt to get some attention.

Lol - I don't care for attention, but I'm not making this up. I've played through the intro and that's what I know. If you guys already know this stuff I just said - why would I bother announcing it on here? And if I wanted attention, wouldn't it be more logical for me to just make up some random stuff?

So you already knew ALL that stuff I just said? ALL of it?

Actually, yes. We do know every single piece of information you have.

Tell me, and answer fast:

What were you asked to do before the game began? The set-up process?

What class did you choose, and what companions did you have by time you left Lothering?

Where is your home base and how do you get it?

Answer fast. Although it proves nothing, since anyone knows this stuff. But pray you don't get anything wrong.

I think people would really like to know the specific details on skills, specializations, abilities, etc. You know, gameplay nitty gritty stuff. Stuff that they wouldn't get from all those interviews.

I actually didn't know that you had to pick default first, and then customize later.

I wouldn't so hastily dismiss the guy though, as there's a reason we know what we do.

Well, it's been seven minutes and that invalidates all of his answers, if he chooses to answer them. Too bad this isn't a live chat.

I'm not sure whether to say "too soon" or congratulate you on remembering that she died that day too.
