Hello Dragon Age fans

Many fans know Dragon Age for it's amazing stories,  memorable characters or intricate plots. However, a key elemnt to Dragon Age is the technology that runs quietly behind the scenes, allowing fans to fight their battles and explore the lands of Thedas. Without the technolgy that our programmers consistantly strive to improve, your playthroughs would not live up to the expectations you have as fans.

To help everone understand the programming that goes into a game like Dragon Age 2, we asked Dragon Age 2 Lead Graphics/Engine Programmer Andreas Papathanasis to help explain the changes and improvements that we think fans will notice when they play. Andreas has written a blog about the technology in Dragon Age 2. In part one of his blog, he explains about Lighting, Outdoor Environments, and Characters.

You can check out part 1 of the Technology of Dragon Age 2 with 7 new screenshots on the BioWare Blog. :)

The game looks lovely can't wait to get my own hands on in approximately 5 days, 13 hours, 5 minutes.

Not that I have a countdown clock link for the demo or anything... :whistle:

Wow, those are some nice images of the game. So those are DX9, I can't even imagine how DX11 will enhance it! Only 3 weeks left, I must contain myself.

I wish to sincerely apologize for all my comments last year about Dragon Age 2 being a graphical step backward from Dragon Age: Origins.

well... textures are of very low resolution and the npcs look damn low poly - dx11 won't change that :D. except the "hanged man" all the screens lack atmosphere.

btw - there are floating props ;)

Apology accepted as long as you buy the gane and paly it with all different classes and then write a post confessing how amazing the game was:police:

Because the game wasn't finished 3 months ago. It was finished last Friday.
