I recently played the Dragon Age 2 demo, and ran into quite a few issues. I didn't write them all down, so I may have forgotten a few, but these are the ones I remember.
Also, I was running in DX9 because DX11 was even worse.
During the first cut scene, it was extremely laggy (dual GTX 460 cards and an i7 930 on medium settings, DX9).
The camera angles were all wrong in the cut scene (pointed at everyone's crotch while they were talking).
The woman's face was using what would be best described as an extremely reflective blinn material.
In the game, one out of every two people had no body, and were simply floating heads.
Most enemies did not have a walk cycle, and would simply float around about 1-3 feet above the ground in an "A" pose.
One in two of the playable characters were unable to fight, If I took control of them, I couldn't get them to fight either.
In another cutscene, I simply saw a bunch of legs floating around about 5 feet off the ground and someone screaming "I won't let you have him".
The terrain had no texture on it (flat grey), but rocks and trees did (sort of).
I'm guessing there were no atmospheric effects either, since it seemed quite bland.
Hawke's beard had no texture on it, instead, each sprite was a flat grey, partially transparent material that made it look like he had a plastic chin.
I'm willing to bet I missed a few, but these are the ones I remember.
The thing is, what I did play of the demo, if I ignored all of the blaring issues, it was a good game. The combat was tons of fun, and...well, that's about it, since I couldn't get that far in the demo.
I've always been a big fan of Bioware's games, and I loved Dragon Age: Origins. However, I was pretty disappointed to see the state at which the demo was at. Originally, this game was on my must buy list on day one, and the demo would have made me want to get it even more (combat was fantastic), unfortunately, playing the demo in this state has made me more cautious. I will most likely wait a week, and make my decision then.
I do wish Bioware well, of course, and hope the final game is in a much better state.
