Blizzard is a huge company and their products support Stereoscopic 3D.

Bioware is a huge company yet none of their products are optmized for 3D.

PLEASE, it's 2011. Can you make sure Dragon Age II is NVIDIA 3D Vision ready? Thank you.


Oh jesus, not this again.

NVIDIA® 3D Vision™ technology is a combination of Graphics Processor Units (GPU), specialized 3D glasses, software, and certified displays and projectors that deliver an immersive 3D experience on your PC or workstation.

what percent of gamers have this set up and would it even be worth it to the developer to support  at this time?

Believe it or not, I actually made sure I had plenty of free time just to play this demo. That's actually a first for me, for a demo nonetheless!

Chris, if you're still checking this for questions, I have a few.

1. In DA2, if i have talents in the two handed branch or sword and shield branch, can I use those talents with different weapons or are they specific to that branch?

2. I'm still confused about the new combat system. is it going to be a hack and slash or just like DAO?

3. Do warriors have to wear armor? i guess i'm the weird one who likes to play as a clothing wearing hero but i'm just curious xD

Thanks!

You have to finish the demo to get the item.


Thanks. May I ask if that's been confirmed by Bioware?

 As a person
who played German Demo, I can assure You that there's any unknow heavy
spoiler in this demo, so don't worry. The only spoiler there is, who
will die during proloque, and while we all knows that, there's nothing
to worry.


Thanks for the info. But it's not just big spoilers that I'm worried about. It's just . . . even experiencing the feel of the game before the full version. Playing the demo might make receiving my nice, new, shiny DA2 disc a bit less exciting because the surprise factor of what an early part of the game holds might be dampened. It's a bit weird, I know. Especially because I've seen gameplay photos and videos.

Then again, maybe the demo will make playing the full version for the first time even more exciting because I'll be even more keen to find out what happens next!

I've
decided to skip all the dialogue/custscenes in the demo to keep my
"real" playthrough as fresh as possible (or at least as fresh as it can
be if one plays the demo).


I was considering this too. But I bet that, if I play the demo, I'll so end up watching the cut scenes too :P.

Anyway, my posts regarding this are probably pointless: if there is a DA2 demo out, I doubt I'll be able to resist playing it :D.

Yeah, seriously a waste of Bioware's time and money to do something like this at this time. MAYBE Dragon Age 4 or 5, but the whole 3D TV and Games thing is still way too new for most people to care.

They're specific to that branch.

It's like DA:O but faster and easier.

3. Do warriors have to wear armor?

Yes.

I did read correctly that it will be a week later for XBox LIVE silver?



If so does anyone know of any free trials for GOLD?

I hope someone with a legal version of the German demo comes in and tells us about it.

No, but it is common sense to not talk about it.



Will you be as relaxed when people gleefully come to the forums with impressions from a pirated game?

I would definatly not like the fact that they pirated the game, considering Bioware would be losing money.

Also if you've seen any gameplay videos these so called "demo impressions" wont spoil anything, as you've already seen it all.

To top it off it might not be the best idea to walk into the "demo impressions" thread and complaining about spoilers. Stay away when it specifically say demo impressions? ya?

So, was there confirmation about whether the graphical improvements to Isabela and Cassandra are in the build we're getting tomorrow, or is the german demo the same one we're getting, with the noticeably inferior faces?

My guess is the picture which is improved is on Very High graphics, the demo only allows Medium graphics since DX11 is disabled.

Then what is your problem with impressions? It could just as easily have been a dude that bought Gamestar (German demo comes from this issue of the magasine), he would've been in all his right to talk about it.

We know the German version has the inferior faces. Whether the one we're getting tomorrow is the same build or not is unknown.

It could easily be due to the fact that it's DX9 locked, there IS a possibility that the improved face is exclusive to PC, as seing the DX9 settings are what the consoles would roll with.
