 First off,

I enjoyed it. It made me feel right back in the world of Dragon Age and made me tingle inside.

Graphics  9/10

For the 360, Engine, and the fact its an RPG. Its actually quite nice to look at in comparisson to DA:O. The Mouths move expecially nice, and there is more emotion and movements in the talking than "some random hand movements when things are explained" Only complaint is that the combat animations are not fluent, more static, but it looks real cool.

Combat ?/10

I haven't decided. Its cool,fast, but i don't think i graps it yet. Its also a personal prefrence, so who am i to say its awesome or sucks. Either way, i think its a great step for the series

Story/Lore 10/10

Its Dragon Age, whats not to love. Like I posted up there. The only thing for me to try to get past is Lothering area looking like a wasteland, Flemeth looking like a Quanri all of a sudden (its right after the Warden and Allister complete the first area) and Darkspawn look different, but Im glad these changes were done early, and maybe Flemeth's look has some story to it.


I want to hear everyone's first impression and to post their first playthrough below!!


POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!!!!!!!

Male Hawke
Mage
Bethany Dies

gameplay wise it looked fine just hope PC has some more tactical gameplay like DA:O tho way to short hehe plus i find myself controlling mage the most yet again, other classes are more fun to play now tho. overall id give it a 8/10 becaus it looks good and plays good but its a veeery short preview of the game and the new art style i still havent decided if i like or not.

I'm on my second playthrough now (first was male warrior, second is female mage) and the things that has impressed me the most is the art/graphics. Before I downloaded this demo, I was entirely skeptical on how the game would look visually. While it's certainly no Crysis, it's still quite nice and certainly not the eyesore I feared.

I hope they give out the toolset or i wont get it for PC.

In the end the enhanced graphics wont make up for my poor use of a computer.

More fun if i can use the controller very well.

Am at 70% now, will post as soon as I finish my first playthrough...on that note, I am trying to decide what to use as my first playthrough. I'm thinking 2h warrior first, then mage then dual wep rogue. I really like the way that this trial will probably give us a small indication of the way each class plays and will give me some sort of way of deciding which class to use as my first playthrough when DA:2 launches.

 Sounds good, glad you enjoying it so far. Was the giants caps in the title really needed?   Either way I forgot about this... oops :P

Time to boot up the 360!

A few bits of lore I got from the demo, for those interested and also perhaps for wiki updaters. Spoilers, but nothing too heavy.


**********************


Anyway, a few pointers:

- Hawke and Carver were at Ostagar in Cailan's army under a certain Captain Varel (the seneschal from Awakening?).
- Hawke's dad was called Malcolm. This is mildly annoying because my Warden was called Malcolm. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/tongue.png[/smilie]


**********************

Also, the demo is restricted to Normal difficulty. :pinched:

15-40 minutes depending on how well you play and if you skip cutscenes and dialog.

I enjoyed the demo, for the most part.  I was thrown off a bit because I forgot that auto-attack was off by default, so the Darkspawn schooled me for a bit, then I started to catch on and got my groove.  Combat feels right now that every time I press A, it actually does something unlike DA:O where I press it once and the game goes through the motions for me.  Even so, I'm a bit nostalgic about that mechanic, so I'm sure I'll enable it a little bit during the main game.

I played as a rogue, but unlike DA:O, I have no real class preference.  I pretty much enjoyed playing all of the classes (I kept switching party members, obviously).

Mage melee was still entertaining despite the lack of a sword, so I'm sure I'm going to make at least one mage a melee mage, probably Bethany if I don't make Hawke a mage. 

And for those worried, combat damage is an option toggle, but it's off by default.  If you feared your floating numbers were gone forever, don't worry, it's still there.

One random thing: I've finished 2 playthroughs now and I don't think I've seen a finishing move. I don't know if they disabled them for the demo, I just missed one, or what. But, yeah, that's odd.

Mage and Archer finishing moves were confirmed on two separate occasions, I thought.

I didn't see one either.  I loved the deathblows, too, especially the dual wielding ones.

I did notice no finishing moves, but there was supposed to be finishing moves, mages were even supposed to have them. Maybe on for PC cause of auto combat
