It's Origins with an improved version of my favorite dialogue system of all time


Funny choice of words considering there are no origins in DA2, just one predefined character.


Really, aren't we done with this yet? <_<

Get over it.  Enjoy or hate the game on it's own merits, not on a game that's been out for two years.

And the person you're quoting was simply naming the previous game.  Would it bother you less if they'd used DAO instead?

Everyone is so bias on this thread i have never seen anything like it. I dont mean to be rude but the demo was very disappointing. I have loved biowares games since baldurs gate but this is just plain bad. DA 1 was good but this is just an action game.


For a more accurate cross-section of opinion check the comments on the Kotaku Article. http://ca.kotaku.com...demo-360-owners

seems to be about 50/50 split of opinion.

Again, the lack of deathblow animations is making me a bit sceptical(don't tell it's just the gibbing O_o).

Will they be eventually included in the full game?

Yes, deathblows will be in the full game for everybody except maybe crossbows and archers.

I absolutely loved the demo, the combat feels so much more alive and you are really more in control during combat now. And the way magic looks now during combat....LOVE IT!!!!

But one question...i finished the demo with Rogue first, now i'm a Mage. During the first battle against the Ogre, you have all kinds of spells you can use. Like Ice and what not..but right after that battle, you can't seem to choose those spells anymore. Please dont tell me the game is gonna choose the magic FOR me? Cause i'd hate that.


Anyone have any idea about this?


You still get to choose spells at level-up. The very first battle is a version of your character exaggerated by the narrator, Varric. After that battle Varric tells the real story and you have full control over how your character develops.

X360 demo was ****. Plain and simple. A dumbed-down buttonsmasher that can be only described as mediocre.

As for PC, I hope it's as much better than the X360 version, like it was with the first DA:O. If it's the same as the console version, I'll just leave the game on the shelf.

Here's an idea. How about I market something to you for a reasonable price. We will call it Cake. Let's say you purchased cake and ate it and liked it. I'm now telling you about Cake 2. You're reasonably excited, but unbenownst to you, under the layers of icing and cake is a thin layer of turd. You eat it because you liked the previous cake... but in the end you're still being fed ****.

Hi everyone

The Dragon Age 2 demo is now available on Xbox Live (Gold accounts) and will be up today for PC and Playstation 3.

I am seeing lots of threads with "my demo feedback/impressions/thoughts, etc". Rather than have multiple threads pop up all over the place, this thread is for everyone to post their impressions.

Please say whether you are playing the PC, Xbox 360 or PS3 version and let us know your thoughts about the demo. Both positive and negative feedback is fine (as long as it is constructive. Saying "I didn't like X in the demo and this is why, is fine. Saying "it sucks" is not very helpful. You get the idea).

So please, let us know what you think of the Dragon Age 2 Demo. :)




:devil:

Awesome. Combat, voice acting, and music are all great. I love how the exaggerated combat in the beginning gave me a good feel for the skill tree. Also, I like how the beginning of the game focuses some attention on how wide spread the affect of Logain's action's at Ostagar were. Experiencing the effects of Lothering's fall feels like a good transition between Origin's and this game.



Two questions:



1) I know this one was asked before, but will we have auto level up in the full game?



2) I see an option in the interface menu that says "Always show main interface". Does this mean we have the option to toggle the interface off when not in combat? I'm a big fan of minimal interfaces.

Must say I really did enjoy the demo, I started with mage and loved the auto-attack for it but after awhile seeing the same 4(?) attacks the auto attack it just got less and less awesome but still very cool. The the archer which was way to strong and I'm about to play the warrior. The voice acting for both male and female are great! loved it. I even like males voice a lot unlike mass effect with the mono-tune like voice.

Graphics are also really nice, Not the best out there but again graphics don't make a game good, the story does and from what I've seen the story seems pretty well thought out.

Yeah I think it's best to take a break from the forum now that the demo is out, I can already see how the next weeks are going to play out before the game comes out.

The combat was not too bad, but I do think the game has a stripped down feel, there seems to be less of everything, like spells and skills, cant talke to companions on the road etc, it seems DAO was an RPG game with action elements, but DA2 will be more action and less RPG, which will make it a big console seller.

I like the Female Hawke character, cant stand male Hawke and not a big fan of the narration, it will be a 1 play through game likely, maybe 2 for me.

The combat is a significant improvement and I am really liking the characters so far. The only complaint I have is the tiny text size - I actually cannot read the loading screens.



Also, is there supposed to be any sort of notification on whether will be recieving Hayden's Razor or do you just have to complete the demo?

I played it about 5 times.

My impression isn't as negative as I thought it would be seeing the first gameplay video.

I'm glad you made some cutscenes that involve the P.C, but they intercept the game and it isn't very interactive.



Next, playing as a warrior, i had severel negative impressions.

First of all, the animations ARE TO FAST AND NOT SMOOTH. AMEN!

And it really doesn't fit in the game, though the Sword + Shield is very attractive and funny.



Lucky for you, the Mage and Rogue GLANCE LIKE AN DINAMITE. The animations fit perfectly for the particular class and enviroment. The Rogue is really amazing causing much fun for players liking fast fights.



And mages .... Totally overcoll and-powered.



Summary: It is very nice, though the armors are not beautiful, and too sharp, causing a bad look.

It is a bit too hard for me, though I failed just twice at the final ogre.

Too much enemies to handle, it would be better : Less enemies, more powerfull.



I like the story of the game. In the early minutes you experience very emotional feeling (templer dying , brother dying, flemeth, funny scenes, haha)



ME LIKE IT !

WOW!
 
WOW!
 
Bioware, you astound me!  Ms. Hawke already owns my heart; Male Hawke is equally up there, too!  What a great voice actor.  Bethany is an enchantress, powerful, graceful and feminine (just as I desired mages to be in DA II), Aveline rocks:  Her voice actress is superb... the glimpse into her personality thus far is endearing.  It beckons you to learn more about her:  a refreshing character, undeniably. 
 
Oh, love the way bombs work now, execute with such pizzazz, thus fun…  the two-hander, its arc, its strength, oh so 'darn' awesome!  The combat is engaging and gratifying, pulling one in as the music play engagingly in the background, pumping our blood.  Oh, how I love entering in the heart of battle.
 
More to come after my mage play-through with Lady Hawke.  Thus far, DA II is simply impressive, and breathtaking Bioware.  KUDOS Bioware!      Image IPBImage IPBImage IPBImage IPBImage IPB

Thanks for the demo bioware. You saved me 40 pounds lmao. I feared the game would be like this I should never of preordered the sig edition but no matter it's cancelled now. The music is boring the voice acting is terrible and the animations are a joke. Disco Mage hawke ftw? I will wait till you guys make da3 with morrigan and the warden returning. Thanks.

It was upsetting. Making characters blink more and slightly sway while waiting for hawke to fubblingly spout off very well acted lines is not immersion.



Again, What does a PURPLE DIAMOND possibly refer to in regards to tone?
