No, Bioware asked him to stop. He's not going to release more.

Hmmm.

Pros: Overall look of the game is crisp and clean and the new art style continues to impress. Love both male and female Hawke's voices, they sound witty and tough. Mage combat animations are night-and-day improved from Origins; mages look incredibly fun to play now at both long and short range. Too bad the player seemed to not be into playing the class at all and it showed.

Cons: Exploding enemies. I've been a big proponent of the flashier animations and the removal of all the awkward shuffling in combat, etc. But where are the cool and unique finishing blows? In Origins they synced up your kills really well and punctuated the action brilliantly. Now it looks like your enemy just topples over in a dull, impactless canned crumple animation, OR explodes in a shower of comical blood that leaves feet standing there like smoking craters. Seriously? I'm all for over-the-top combat, but this is less 300 and more Itchy and Scratchy, no?

Only 5 days till the demo is released. I'm sure we all can wait awhile longer :)

Yeeees deathblows! Where are they? I am not really a fan of the BG2 "Critical hit = Explode" :/

(or the poking till' death with a sword & shield style)

I'm going to assume the endless poking is because he kept the shield defense sustainable up....although it will be a shame if a sword and shield warrior has to give up all of their attack animations in order to up their defense.

I do enjoy that the beginning is really action packed. There really isn't any resting point, unless you just kill and wait there for whatever reason. I believe we have all learned something as well: if you're a mage, make sure you are the healer.

It is the same mechanically. Its the same attacks but faster, and has a bit more variety. Which is better imo.

I don't think its so bad. If DA2 had DA:O animations watching Aveline stab that Ogre over, and over would have been 10x more boring that it is.

Except seeing how this video of ogre fight in DA2 appears more boring than anything i've personally witnessed in DAO (and considering this particular bit of discussion is a result of someone else also saying that this fight in DA2 looks boring) i don't think you're correct. Obviously, this is down to individual tastes and whatnot but if what DA2 shows was indeed universally better and "10x less boring" we wouldn't have this discussion in the first place.

Of course it is. We'll be playing the exact same content in the demo that'll be released on Tuesday.

I love how even though for a long while at the end of the ogre fight it was just Aveline kicking ass, and both hawke boys were dead, as soon as the fights over it shows hawke finishing off the last opponent. Where's Avelines credit?

This IS NOT the demo that will be released to the public on February 22.

I
see a bunch of questions thining that this person got early access to
the demo or whatever. This is a build and demo from a convention
appearance. It isn't the demo you will all be getting on Feb 22.

Just so you know.

We might be going through some of the same content, but this isn't footage from the demo. Ie things could have changed.

I think that's more due to the players inability to play mages properly. He did say so. ;)

Sure we might see some polish here and  there, but content and restrictions wise it's exactly the same. So calling it different isn't really logical.

I didn't. I said it wasn't Demo footage. Which it technically isn't. The rest was your doing.

More to the point, certain things will be locked out in the demo that might be available in this version or vice versa. And we know we'll be in kirkwall for a part of it.

Content is not the same.  A large part of the demo we'll be getting sounds as if it'll take place in Kirkwall.  That may even be the meat of the demo we get.

Obviously your defintion of demo is a bit skewered. This demo is the same that was avaliable to people at the coventions which is exactly the same in it's function, i.e you play it. So yes it is demo footage.

I, for one, support the return of the Gib.

No, I'm perfectly aware that it is demo footage. What you fail to grasp is that I was replying to this post

"Only 5 days till the demo is released. I'm sure we all can wait awhile longer :)"


See I was referring to the playable demo being released in 5 days. This video isn't from that demo. And in the context of this discussion. That isn't demo footage.

You were mistaken, and now your attempt to put the blaim on me has also failed. Try again.
