 Why does the game only have Directx 11 and 9. Usually a game with 11 has 10 and 9, but 10 seems to not missing, just straight up not included. The visual configuration needs to be fixed because it is incredibly hard to navigate even for a seasoned PC gamer. This probably partly due to the lack of a directx 10 and 10.1 option as well as some other flaws. Fraps doesn''t seem to want to overlay the game right now, so until then I will not comment on the performance, but it seems stuttery.

Before anyone bad mouths my machine being a pentium 4 gateway here are the specs I'm using:
Intel Core i7 920 OCed to 3.8ghz H20 Cooled.
6 gigs of ram OCed to 1600mhz 3x2gb sticks.
Quad SLi 295 GTX's (I get that this can't handle tesselation technology, but it has the architecture to handle every other feature of DX11)

The gameplay is matched my expectations, and the presentation is awesome, but I was hoping for some sharper textures, but if that will never get fixed, I'm sure the community will create high-def ones.

The bodies explode in a big pool of blood.. really? you tried to aim for bad ass but landed on ridiculously stupid lol the graphics are a minor step up, the animations are too fast

the music

the new menu

the fact that im paying $20 for Dragon Age 2 Signature Edition





im hoping the story is as good as DAO.. the first time Isabella opened her mouth and talked about an ancient amulet the first thing that popped in my head was.. (mhmm Flemeth asked to deliver a package... i bet its the amulet)

I just played the PS3 demo and overall I really enjoyed it BUT I really dislike the new "cartoony" icons on the action wheel. I greatly prefer the more photo-realistic icons on Origins. This ability tree is definitely going to take some getting used to also - I'm not crazy about it so far. Also, it seems I will need to plan on two mages in my party at all times that can heal because of the refresh timer on heal and potions - that will get annoying fast unless I have two healers.

I really liked Bethany - enjoyed playing as her more than Marian Hawke. I may be using her a lot on the full game.

PC Demo:

Nothing good about this demo. Honestly, I can't believe I pre-ordered this garbage. The art style is cartoony and the animations are repetitive and too over the top (I felt like I was watching bad anime). Oh and all the women have HUGE breasts.... not all women have DD cup size.
Seriously stop catering to the casual xbox player.


them releasing the demo is like slaping you in the face.. and then taking your lunch money.. and laughing about it.
i feel sorry for any of the pc gamers who pre ordered this mess

I swear, all of these people who are passing their final judgment based off of a forty five minute demo make me sick.



It's like saying an entire restaurant is horrible because you didn't like their soup of the day.



And for God's sake people, your word is not law, and you are not superior to everybody else due to your opinion. People aren't stupid for enjoying it, and you're not a genius for hating it.The only point you make with statements like that is that you're a pompous fool.

Is it a bug that you are unable to target enemies with AoE spells? You can only target the ground. If your mouse is over any enemy, the pointer turns gray. This is very annoying.

Played as a mage -> Too weak! Used up all 6 hp pots during ogre fight just to stay alive ;/

Played as a warrior -> Strong! Used 2 health pots during ogre fight

Played as a rogue -> OMFG! Pwned the ogre without loosing 10% hp, the best crowd control + aoe damage ever with a bow!.

played it on my xbox. It was fun and i will probably like it more then DAO. Rogue combat deffinately got a +3 in the badass dept. Downside was i couldn't play with the inventory which is my favorite part of games like this. I feel like you had a good chance to sink the hook in deeper if you allowed me to wield and swap some of the gear i found. I went from a probably won't buy to a will buy.

Did you fire your art team bioware?
Because that's what it looks like.

Also no friendly fire?

Pro storytelling tip : CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.
Try it before killing off a character , maybe then people will give two ****s.

also: good design (no this aint a link to that other game) : http://www.tuningnew..._ford_gt-06.jpg

then dragon age 2 : http://img827.images...dragonage2.jpg/

You should be ashamed to release this abortion.

Thank you for the engine optimzation

I'm not sure if it's even that, or I'm just lucky. But thank you so much for making this game playable on my piece of **** computer. In Dragon Age Origins, certain points (such as the final battle, with all the hurlocks and all) became so unplayable I had to turn the reso down to an all time low.

I know this is a demo and all, but hot damn. This game is so much more smooth. I was worried that the combat would be sluggish on my computer but it was silky smooth. I am so impressed. Even if it's not engine optimization and just luck on my part, thank you Bioware.

Im an xbox user myself and even I have to agree to this. Its like its a bit too.. Over the top. I mean theres cool, as in epic finnishers and stuff but this is just pathetic when you do a ninja backflip everytime you move. No-one in reality would go to so much effort to make a single move.

My only complaint is the weird little animations you do when you're out of range while trying to attack an enemy (on the Xbox360).



You mentioned leaping at them in an interview, but instead I ended up losing a few valuable seconds trying to find out how close I needed to move for things to work out right.



Other than that, this was freaking awesome, and I'm so glad I ordered the SE.

Lol... I am a ninja rouge living in a medieval dark fantasy. I will cut you down with my ninja sticks, and then somehow teleport to the other side of the enemy. Wait!!! I know this game. Its called "Mortal Kombat", but with an rpg element build into the game. Lord Reiden! Where are you?

oh and please please tell me that in the finished game i won't have to play the initial sequence as Garret/Marian Hawke....

Come on... I already have no control over who hawke is (i can only choose the mood of the dialog... great...), at least don't make me ever play with the default look and name... seriously, why does chara creation come after that, and not before?

Really enjoyed the demo (not that I can break it down any farther than that) but I am a little annoyed that I lost connection right after the prologue so I don't seem to have gotten credit for the dagger.



Oh, well, guess I have to try again. Oh, darn. :P

This isn't a complaint simply about the demo but about the game in general, but since my thread about this topic was locked and I was told to use this thread:



DEAR BIOWARE,



CAN WE GET A PATCH TO INCREASE THE FONT SIZE SO THAT THE TEXT IS ACTUALLY READABLE. IF NOT, COULD YOU AT LEAST EXPLAIN WHY THIS DECISION WAS MADE?



Thanks in advance, I am sure you will provide a good answer.

I played the PC demo.

The camera can't zoom out anywhere near as far as I would like.  I prefer to keep track of as much of any given battle as possible in Origins, but I simply can't see enough of the battlefield to do so here.  I also wish I could detatch the camera from my character so it's not zooming around wildly.  The lower difficulty (on normal, anyway) means the camera isn't a horrible problem when controlling a warrior, but the lack of bird's-eye view is terrible for placing AoE spells unless you're right next to the target.  The targeting reticle doesn't seem to snap to enemies anymore, but that's still one step forward for two steps backwards.  The excuse that the closer camera lets level designers create pretty ceilings rings quite hollow.  Is there a pretty ceiling in the chantry?  It don't know, because it never once occurred to me to look up, away from the battle, until I started writing this.

The combat seemed fast paced and responsive, and is refreshing after playing Origins.  However, I don't understand why knockback cancels autoattacks (and not just when you get knocked back either--I had to re-issue my attack order every time I used mighty blow).  The problem is easy enough to work around by hammering the R button repeatedly, but it still seems a bit silly.  Also, I hope that I'm missing something and that there's a way to display enemy health bars (i.e. all of them at once, like the tab button does in Origins) as that used to be a very useful way to select targets.  I suppose you could argue that enemies generally go down quickly enough that it's not too big a deal to lose this bit of tactical display, but it still would've been nice to have (and I certainly can't think of a reason not to include it).

Finally, the tactics screen was a major pain to use.  Bigger is most definitely not better, as I very much preferred (in Origins) being able to see all my options at any given tree node, not to mention the entire tree I've navigated to that point.  Also, the tree menu is buggy; nodes with children were sometimes very difficult to select.  There was usually a sweet spot just to the left of the text, but it was very small, and if I got it wrong, I was dumped out of the tree entirely.  At least dragging skills on to the quick bar improperly doesn't crash the game like in ME2.

Overall, the demo was disappointing, but not a deal breaker.  I still think DA2 will be a pretty good game, but the UI may have needed a tad more refinement.

Then cancel your pre-order.  Not a big deal.  You don't like it, cancel.
