Just did a couple of playthroughs. Rogue class was alot of fun. Played both as archer and melee. Both were fun. Combat is much more responsive and as an archer I was alot more effective than DAO. Damage wasn't OP but the little knock back with each hit is a nice touch.

I never pay attention to the text because the characters are speaking. I turn off the texts in games if there is an option so the small text doesn't bother me.

Anyone else notice the mistake on Varric's talent web names? His Specialization is named Marksman (the rogue bow tree) and the Bow Tree is named 'Bianca'. Names got swapped there. Just leads me to believe, even more so, that this demo is definitely of the older build variaty.

Which just kinda makes me want the main game more actually. Cause if this things really like half a year old as far as when they pulled it for working on, main things gadda be crazy awesome.

-edit-
Oh Also noted something, people where speculation the kill animation was replaced (with the 2h) by the 'arm pump' thing after you kill an enemy awhile back. It looks like that happens anytime you attack with out a target. Does that with all the styles even mages, they play through some idle animation.

Big issue with mage in demo cause he twirls the staff around and you can't interrupte the damn animation. So if you accidently do it with out a target, and your wanting to attack you gadda sit and watch before you can.

Just played as a rogue.  Im very impressed, the combat changes really are brilliant.  I've played a duel wielding rogue and its very fast paced.  Thoroughly enjoying it! 
Oh and as expected I fallen for Marian. Guess Character creation will be on my second play through then!

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.

I guess we know who Hawke's father is now then...

Had very little issue with the text myself to be honest, I thought the demo was pretty good. Interesting change from DA:O I actually enjoyed the new combat (other than when moving from enemy to enemy Hawke seemed to decide to stop for a moment & pump his fist in the air) but I think the menu & leveling up system will take a bit of getting used to.

The art style of the game was great, I look forward to exploring the depth of the new region in such graphic detail. One of the things I had to think about was Flemmeth being involved at the start of the story while escaping from lothering which in the timeline would overlap with the story of Origins, I hope they have some form of information as to her being in both stories simultaniously & some detail of how she survived assuming the main character killed her in the first game.

Another thing I am hoping for would be for the characters in the future to be a little more colourful as the party so far doesn't seem as interesting as the Origins cast but the Dwarf from the start (unsure of his name) & Isabella seem like they have room to develop & the fact your sister is in the party should be an interesting change. All in all I still have high hopes for this game though & can't wait for the 12th.

The devs already stated that Flemeth's meeting with Hawke is before the warden gets the chance to kill her.

I hate waiting for the demo for silver users. It's comming on march 1st but i dont think ill download it.
I was waiting so eagerly but 2 days b4 the demo i found out that silver users get it later. I think ill just create some imports for DA2 and wait for the full game. I wanted to test all the classes.

I had a free gold 30 day trial left over from something. I still have 2 more of them in my drawer and I have no idea where I got them from. These things come in handy.

Demo was alot of fun i cannot wait until my signature edition gets here. also i was glad to see that i could turn off persistent gore, i think it looks stupid with people talking with blood all over their face lol.

Maybe but he doesn't exist in the DA universe. Obviously sonsonthebia07's Grey Warden is Hawke's father and Bioware will be quickly importing his character's avatar into DLC for DA2 where we meet him.

Ok just played the xbox 360 demo on a friends console, I won't be able to play for a while but completed the full demo as a mage.

I can queue up my other team member moves now, I think that's one of the best things. Overall i like the changes. However, I find it difficult to navigate the wheel because many things are changed or were rearranged now. For example spells, sustained or not appear to be in one menu. Bare in mind I maybe wrong because I only got a taste of the demo and won't be able to try it at my leisure until later. I also felt overpowered as a mage, I couldn't even die, never needed to heal or anything.

The textures on the characters are not that good compared to DA:O, but then again I notice these things because I was playing on a 42 inch screen. I mean the Hawke model is great but look at Aveline wrist and some other textures and you start to notice. The dialogue wheel is good but can become redudant, I mean I can ask Flemeth one thing over and over with only 3 choices and have the same scene play back over and over. Not a major problem though.

I can't rate the demo overall yet because I'm going to play it on ps3 too later because I'm thinking about getting this for both consoles, not sure. However, the small taste I got:

Graphic 7/10
Story/Dialogue 8/10

Combat is a hard one. I like the combat but I can't tell what is going on in the battlefield at times. All I know is I take control of aveline cast taunt, queue up Carver for an attack and I'm simply back to casting spells. The only cool thing I did was cast fireball at the same time as Beth and I was like wow because I did it accidentally without queue up.

So I would give combat 9/10

But would also like to note that I think combat would of been better with harder enemies, and with the ability to see what is happening around me. The enemies die too quick, I barely saw any death blows or understood when to preform cross-class-combos.

Edit: I'll be back later, I'm going to play on my 52 inch with other classes laters. So the ratings might change.

Played as a 2-Handed Warrior, a Fire Mage, and a Dual-Wield Rogue. So far, I'd have to say that my favorite was the Dual Wield Rogue. May not have done a lot of damage, but the raw speed ate up enemie's health much faster. Of course, I ended up dying in that play-through more times than in any other, but I had all sorts of fun doing it.



I'm going to do two more play-throughs to try out the Sword and Board Warrior and the Archer Rogue, then get back to my Canon Origins play-through.

I keep dying against the ogre, any help?

[tenshi_no_hone]

My archer rogue slaughtered everything! Plus, miasmic flask looks like it has good synergy with mage fire attacks

[tokyoradio]

This is the first game where I've actually wanted to play as a warrior. As in, ever. I am very biased towards mages and rogues in everything, but using Carver and Aveline for battle and seeing my brother play as a warrior makes me want to, too.



I also liked Aveline. As in, a lot. I thought I wouldn't, but I do. (:



The combat is very quick and responsive. I love it

Try to send Aveline to hold the attention of the orge and focus on taking out the darkspawn asap and then just gang up on it.

[dreamextractor]

Is Fenris in the demo?

[Cuthlan]

I've never heard of a digital headstart on a console... but the advertisement at the end showed an xbox360 game box in it...

[Brenna]

Dual-weapon rogue was definitely my favorite. The combat is fluent, and quick paced, I love it! The voice-acting is amazing, and you can even see the details in the facial expressions given certain dialog choices. Eyebrow quirks, or scornful narrowing! Yay. I love the story-narrative before the playthroughs as well, very unique.



Also, I've got a major girl-crush on Flemith now. She's much more epic this go around, compared to DAO. I love that she referenced Morrigan in one of the dialogue options as well. She said, "my daughter," so I am assuming. I was really upset at the length, but of course it was only the demo -- makes me totally stoked to get the game! Thank you amazon for release day delivery!

[Darth Death]

Fate has it that I couldn't download it even if I tried, although its refreshing to read these comments.

[Adhin]

Yeah when they said the Dual Wielding rogue is 'basically a ninja' they weren't kidding! Dudes a damn ninja! Course, Isabella has you one up 3 times over (for male hawke). Not only is she a Ninja, but shes a pirate 'and' sexy. It's almost unfair.

I still think ill be playing through as a Warrior though, but I definitely loved the crap outa the Rogue. I liked the whole minor-combo thing with Crit chance and the one ability that takes advantage of it. It basically has you wanting to max your damage but doing something like this.

Backstab -> Twin Strikes -> Base Attack 10+ times -> Explosive Strike. That combo is absolutely devastating to bigger HP pool mobs.

-edit-
Also for the textures. Anyone who thinks that demo textures are 'worse then DAO' has quite obviously NEVER PLAYED IT ON CONSOLE BEFORE. My god they where awful before. Your eyes where a blurry mess to the point of you not being able to tell what color they where.

I mean just look at my portrait on the left, thats a direct screen capture from char creation. The beard is blurry, Eyes are horrible. Most of the armor textures (for base stuff) where barely textured and relied more on a low resolution (extremely low) bump map to show detail. In odd lighting you looked like a giant color blob.

The demo, and by exception DA2 is leaps and bounds above that. And the PC will have much more defined textures packets for the higher end stuff.
