Ahahahahahaah. You realize the first one wasn't so good, so why even bother? This proves nothing as an argument, most likely because DA2 nor Witcher 2 is out yet.  I'm not implying Witcher 2 will be bad, hell, it MIGHT even be better than DA2 for all I care, but nothing changes the fact on how dull and boring the first one was (at least for me) , so I'm pretty sceptical

I enjoyed WItcher and will be getting the second. BUT, the story was pretty boring I mean come on, the only big selling point of this game was that the main character literally could screw a woman in every town, and collect the pics of it! It didn't shy way from being an adult fantasy game, which while fun as a novielty thing, but seriously I enjoyed the setting for DA better. Witcher, outside of the more adult type of gameplay, which was fun, was a terribly unoriginal game. It may look great, the first one looked great too, but looks aren't anything if the story just stinks.

A bit off topic but whats with all this "if made in 2 years or 1.5 its rushed!" talk? I mean really I don't like waiting 5 years for a game given how fast systems change now I'm honestly surprised the PS-3, Wii, and X-box 360 haven't had a replacement planned yet. Happy about that though.

Two years isn't along enough dev time. I like to see an engine update between games. DA2 just looks more play dohy than DAO. Also I've seen quite a few reused assets in the DA2 screenshots, which is also a side effect of a short dev time.

From what I've seen on Youtube,they have been improved.Even from the newer released screenshots.

There's more visual effects now, but the textures are just as bad

I'm sorry, I only read up to the fourth page, so excuse me if this was already brought up.

But the demo is locked at medium settings, yeah?
How are you using this to justify that the textures look bad and will not improve from that alpha screenshot you compared the demo to?

The only logical thought process here is if you think the alpha screenshot looks the same as the DA2 demo, then the actual game will look better than the both of them as it permits higher quality settings, no?
 
When you disregard these ideas, Caine, it isn’t constructive criticism coming out your mouth.
(This is all assuming everything I know is correct, if not, we're cool and I apologize)

This is your hourly reminder to stay on target and not let the thread get dragged into a Witcher thrash, nor discussions of "what is a troll". These are the DA2 forums. There's a whole off-topic forum all the way over there.

Thanks.

You guys should just start handing suspensions out the first time someone goes offtopic with a Witcher mention in a thread. Unless they're being constructive and trying to make a point with DA2...

Ah, ye have little faith in EA.

Check their track record of burying studios and franchises.

You have no idea how right you are. EA destroys franchises better than anyone else.

Mirror's Edge 2. Case in point.

That said, Dragon Age 2 is still going to be great.

You do know plenty of older engines are still in use right? Such as the Unreal engine, I haven't heard many whining about Bulletstorms graphics. Hell Look at Half-life 2 and G mod. You DON'T always need a new engine when you can still push what you have to the limit.

I like gameplay, controls, story. I don't give a rats ass if thats the best looking ass and lake I've ever seen, if I get killed by a rat, or have to walk around behind myself slowly, that game gets boxed and sold. PC gamers have more time to allow for stuff like this, systems tend to come out faster than new engines.

Edit as an also that pisses me personally off, the "waiting for a better engine" is whats kept me waiting 13 YEARS for Duke Nukem Forever, and I intend on playing the hell out of that game once its in my hands.

No. In DX9 only low and medium are available. In DX11 high and very high are also available (very high is locked in the demo). In DX11 the game ran like crap for me, and it may be just for the demo but the textures are highly inconsistent.  Maybe they didn't put certain HQ textures in the demo, however Carver's armor in the exaggerated scene is incredibly low quality, while Hawke's armor looks good.

Unlike ME2 which had good graphics, the more cinematic shots in DA2 can really bring up the low quality textures

Everytime the witcher is mentioned is to make a point AGAINST DA2 because no one is on the witcher forums.

It is EAs fault why DAII isn't much improved. Their pushing Bioware to make more sequels off best selling franchises so they can wipe their *SS with more money

Really?  That isn't what sold it to me at all.  I mean, the novelty was fun the first time, but I always skipped it after that.  What really sold it for me was the very dark atmosphere and grim storyline, wherein there were few good outcomes - merely slightly more or less desirable resolutions - and the feeling that my decisions have very noticable consequences.  I liked the narative, the characters, the setting politics, etc.  But again, that's me and your milleage may vary.

After the fiasco of FF13 and FF14, I could really care less about their engine and graphics. I think they should upgrade for DA3 though, and be allowed more than two years to make the next one if they need it. FF14 was in development for what, 6 or 7 years? And pretty much the only thing they got done WAS the graphics(granted the graphics are beautiful~). Heck the game has been free-to-play since September cause they basically tried to make us pay for a beta-test.

Honestly though, I'm not going to judge DA2 until I've played it.

Once upon a time there was a small company called Westwood stuidos this small company made a legacy called command and conquer, but sadly in 98 this company was bought by EA and closed in 03.

I dont see how EA can end the bioware stuido but likely to end the DA franchise. Bioware needs to move to another publishing company

[KenKenpachi]

If EA ended bio it won't be over DA, it'll be over the same game that might take lucas arts with it.

EA OWNS BioWare (bought it for nearly $200M). They can't just move on

People fail to see that its a business if the company can't pull its wait it get cut thats the point of business its not an industry based on what right or wrong but what makes a profit. Westwood was not pulling its wait so yeah EA closed the studio.  All publishers do this. 

[Seb Hanlon]

Yeah, this doesn't really have anything to do with DA2 any more, does it?
