Very short demo.



Anyway, I absolutely hated

- the cutscene interruptions during combat. It was always a 1-2s hiccup, and it went from combat to some cutscene. Annoying.

-Low-res textures

-NPC running animations, it looks like they are hovering



The good:

-Fast paced combat



Overall, not bad, but nothing special either.

That's due to the sustained ability she has on. If you deactivate it or play as a s & s Hawke, they swing the sword around much like they did in Origins.

Ahh, I see. Well we can scratch that one off my list then. When I ran through as a warrior I used the two-hander and didn't switch to s&b and didn't notice she had a sustained ability turned on.

I actually liked the demo and am very glad they sped up the combat.

[Sushigrade]

So there will be an option to turn on auto-attack in the 360 version? I tried to find it, but failed. (In my defense, I'm at home with a fever today.) That'll make me and my right thumb RSI a lot happier.

Who is her plastic surgeon? I might need their number in about 30 years so I can go from looking like a 50-60 year old to looking like a 30 year old.  It's not that I don't like her new look, I do, it's just that it's odd having her voice come out of a woman who looks no older than 35 if you ignore the hair color. I'll get used to it, I'm sure, it's just odd.

I just chalk it up to Flemeth being the most powerful mage in the Dragon Age universe. Surely she knows a spell or two to keep her perky.

thx!

I have little idea how to contact Bioware to tell them of fixes to the game before launch but here is 2 items I noticed needs fixing.

1.) Like Dragon Age: Origins, a sustained spell visible to the player playing Hawke would be good. When I activated sustained spells, I had no idea if they were attributing to Hawke unless I checked the caster of the sustained spells to see it was active.

2) After meeting and having a conversation with Wesley, I found no audible dialog that came from Wesley along with his text when out of the conversation. Clicking on him had written text appear but no audible voice (maybe it was just my Xbox, I don't know.

Otherwise, loved the game Bioware!

That and the fact that she isn't human might have somethign to do with it.

Xbox 360 - I love the demo. So far i've done female dual wielding rogue, female mage and male 2h warrior. Rogue was my favourite class in Origins and I love it even more now! The combat animations are great and the backstab attack is brilliant. After seeing the positive comments regarding archer rogues, i'll be doing that on my next playthrough. I think i'm one of the few people who liked archery in Origins so if it's been improved then wooo!

The new level up and ability screens are great too.

The only bad comment I have about the demo is the cut scene before the Izzy quest. It feels like a 'previously on' like you get when watching a TV show. Quite choppy and looks really out of place. However, I know that it wont be like that in the full game so it's just a bad point in the demo. Since thats my only issue I imagine the full game will be perfect.

Good job BioWare

So glad I preordered the SE.

The biggest surprise for me is how much I love the combat..



It's fast paced,still tactical (I am playing on the PC btw) and it looks awesome.



I had fun with the rogue and the two-handed warrior is definitely what I am going to roll as.



Buuut..there were some bad slowdowns during cutscenes in the presence of heavy particle effects (the Flemeth going through fire part especially).



I hope those aren't going to be in the full game.

[LadyIrithyl]

I liked the difference to the combat system. It had great flow, and the animations looked great.



Visually the characters and cutscenes looked great. And I'm sure once we are able to get into different areas the backgrounds will seem more vibrant.



I enjoyed the demo very much. As I put it, it was "drool" worthy.



Cannot wait for the ful game.

[Solarfall]

Installed the demo and was literally not able to play it. FPS ridiculously low=unplayable+black artifacts on the ground during the battle in the beginning. My rig maxed out Metro 2033 with very high+all the dx11 treats on 1920x1080, running really smooth. GTX 460 1gb overclocked,win7,4gb ram.

[Umayberight]

 I for one am in love with the demo. As a fan of bioware's for years now, I have played Baldur's gate, it's amazing to see just how far this company has come. The fluidity of combat is a nice improvement overall, but I wonder if there are a few tweeks that need to be made; such as having normal attacks do at least some kind of noticable damage. The design of Flemeth was shocking, to say the least. I really enjoy the new graphics, but I wonder if she lost some of the "crazy old hag" that made me love her in the first instalment. The story is intersting as always and I can't wait to see it fleshed out. I am happy I pre-ordered this when I saw I could so many months ago. 

[HardBaller]

Ok i have to say that i love the game and i'm going to pre-order for sure. But i have to say that the demo itself dissapointed me. It was extremely short (i already played trough it with all classes on the pc version) and that is exactly what i disliked about it. Ok i get it that they can't put out to much material but a little bit more then this should be ok. I really like the new ab screens and all the other changes but i really missed an active inventory screen. During my mage run i looted a couple items that where an improvement on what i was currently wearing at that time but i couldn't change it. A little dissapointed but that's it.

So a great game and this style of combat is right up my ally and really looking forward to it. Just to bad that these little things where in the way to really enjoy this demo.

The Demo was great, no doubt about it. But the combat is, for me, a step down from Dragon Age: Origins. It feels way too much like a hack and slash game, atleast on the melee part where you fly around all over the screen like a hurricane.



Heck, the game in itself feels way too.. "light", if you compare it to DA:O where the gameplay felt "heavy".



Despite these flaws, I loved the demo, and I actually stopped playing when you got to Kirkwall because I didn't want to spoil it too much.



Day 1 buy for me.



Great job, BW!

[hydroxyde]

So, I'm playing the demo right now.

Why was the decision made that we would have to constantly bash the A button (yes, I'm playing on a 360) to perform our basic attack? Was something wrong with how it worked in DA:O where it seemed to be a toggle?

Is there someone at BioWare with a fetish for constantly mashing buttons and wearing their fingers and thumbs into bloody stubs?



Also, sorry, about my thread. Your pathetic forum search didn't show up this thread when I was searching and I'm too blind to see the stickies.

[Johnny Shepard]

I liked most of the things. But there was some things bothering me.



1. The Talents take far to long to re-charge IMO. I'm guessing it's to make the player do more active buttonpushing combat but for me who likes to pause the game and give orders all the time it forces me to hack'n slash wile waiting. It will probobly get better later when you got more abilitys. Maybe it's thye fast pace that makes the re-charging feel to long.



2. Bathany always miss with the fireball. She aims where the enemys are but when the fireball hits they are no where near it. I don't know if it's the same with alla Area attacks but I'm guessing it is. This makes thoes attacks useless unless the enemys are just standing still.



3. Companions change target to often. I give order to Varric and Bethany to attack 2 archers in the back wile Aveline and I took care of the gues with swords but they just turned around and attacks the guys with sword. They did this all the time when ever I gave them an order they just made one shot then retargeted to a new target.

Will there be any way in the final game to make them attack 1 target and not switch untill that one is dead?



4. The prologue part (Escape from Lothering) is way to short. I had really hoped for it to be about as long as an Origin in Origins. But I guess you wanted the player to get to Kirkwall as fast as possible. It's no big deal, just a side note.





Anyway, exept for that I really loved the demo. The graphics was great and it was fun to play. I can't wait for the final game.

Just some questions:





1) If I got things right, the prologue took place south of Lothering between Southron Hills and the Imperial Highway. Did I get that right?



2) Was Hawke, Carver, Bethany and Aveline at Ostagar or just Carver and Aveline?



3) What are the 3 long snakes on the titlescreen? Or are they supose to be Dragon heads without bodys?

Console- Xbox 360

The demo was amazing. Let me go into a little detail-

Combat- Ridiculously awesome. It felt frantic at all times. The abilities all felt different, looked different, and did different things, which I thought was refreshing. My Sword and Shielder will rock.

Music- I don't even have to touch on this because it was simply AMAZING.

Characters- Love them. I feel like I can latch on to them very well, so good job to those involved in their creation.

Overall, I loved it.

this:happy:

[Sagar DKar]

I loved the Flemeth scenes and the little DAO items in her dialogue.  I didn't have a problem with Lothering and how it looked.  By this time Ostagar has fallen a while ago as survivors have returned based on Carvers dialogue and in DAO we see the blight on the map when Lothering fell.  I think people when playing DAO thought that events were happening in real time when traveling between locations in the game were weeks, even months.  So a blight stricken Lothering is not out of the question.  The ogre did kick my but when I played as a two handed warrior, until I used group tatics.  Now have to wait until March 8.

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.

Woooow.... that was a kick in the ballz of the devs,,,

Its feedback, even if it is a bit on the rude side, alot of people are not happy with the new direction and alot are happy, , most forums its split, but I do thank BioWare for releasing a demo, it was the right thing to do.

[wolvklawz]

I loved the improved combat system.  Granted it reminded me of Diablo II but I felt far more involved in the combat.  The skills were used, if I did nothing, nothing happened.  It gave the world that more fluid feel.  I also enjoyed things like, when the ogre charged me, I just ran to the left and was able to avoid his attack.  Again, the combat is something that for me, is a huge enhancement.

The timing on the potions seemed a bit lengthy, waiting for that cooldown.  As was healing with my mage but this in turn had me alter my tactics.  Instead of just tanking, there were points in that battle in which I had to run, keeping the darkspawn chasing me, letting my warrior just hold the ogre, while I waited for the cooldown.  So although I couldn't just take the potion, it made me think, not just spam the attack button. 

Also with the mages, I loved being able to customize what I wanted right from the start.  In DA O I had to rely on one character as a healer.  This time I have one at the start.  Huge improvement, thankyou.

The interface was far more streamlined, user friendly.  On the 360 version of DAO, it felt awkward, this time around it didn't.

The world feels more alive.  I feel I have more control and the action is top notch.  I hated just pressing A and occasionally using a skill or something.  Not this time, now each skill seems to really shine and I will be paying attention from the start.  

For me, you turned a game that I thought was great and made part 2 something I would call Epic.  I can't wait for release.  If I were to say something negative, it would be the cooldown timers.  But then again if I am loosing health that fast, I would imagine its my playstyle that I am doing something wrong and my tactics need to be adjusted.  Either way, it felt alive, felt fluid and it went beyond the "click A' spam, it does make me think and tactics are far more usuable now.  The end result, you made digital crack for someone like me....let the addiction begin


Another thing, when we are attacking, just using our basic attack waiting on skills, it would be cool if those basic attacks had more to them.  I don't mean with damage, just graphical effect.  Some system to enhance the battle we are witnessing.  Hard to explain I guess, I just want to see some variations even with the basic attacks.

100% this. Whoever decided that button mashing was a good idea needs to have their head examined.

[MasterSamson88]

 In the demo I noticed when I walked around I still had my party jogging behind me... as was shown in the playthrough a while back I thought that was fixed so that they simply walk when you walk. Is this jogging just in the demo?
