+ combat (omfg this is just 100x better than DA:O!!eleventyone1!)
+ cutscenes
+ skill / character development
+ animations (combat, idle & cutscene)
+ clear difference between classes (especially warrior & rogue) - and the mage got the right dose of awesome administered.

- cutscene eyes (O.o)
- no matter how awesome the combat is, after playing through the demo combat becomes 'using the same trick time after time' as it was in DA:O; then again that may only because the difficulty is too low on normal. I'll be starting on hardcore/veteran with the main game. 'Normal' is just too easy.
- it's still not as immersive as the Mass Effect series; though the cutscenes are a LOT better than DA:O, it doesn't compare to Lair of the Shadowbroker so far.

All in all I'm glad I pre-ordered the Signature Edition. While playing the demo I'm getting all giddy and find myself indecisive about which class to play first because they're all covered in awesomesauce. It looks like I'll have to play through the game at least 3 times, one for each class, and then likely another 3 times more for a variation on each class.

I'm sure they could have done even better if BioWare would have given themselves another 6 months of development, but I'm looking forward to the endresult a whole bunch regardless.

Edit: actually, based on the demo, I am actually inclined to play a male character for once. The VA does a great job, and in comparison to ME's Mark Meer he.. well... he's great.

4.5 out of 5, only because there's no option of 4.8.

9/10~



I liked the demo but that is just a small view of the whole game....I'm excited for the real thing March 8.



There's a lot of people complaining anyway, mostly PC gamers and how Bioware has "stripped all RPG elements", blah, blah.....oh well....there are many of us who enjoyed the demo and will probably enjoy the game, and yes there might be more of us, and no that does not make the game any less awesome.

[Galad22]

2/5



This demo is right up there with final fantasy XIII.



Walk linear corridor, kill some dudes, cutscene, kill more dudes, cutscene, kill even more of the same, cutscene. Omg.



There is nothing rpg about this demo at all, if this was at anyway how the real game is going to be I won't be buying it

[killingsheep24]

Hmmm, 3.5/5, pretty good.

[Phaelducan]

Demo would have been enough for me to buy the game.... but I preordered months ago. Meh, 3/5 for a demo. Why have loot if you can't use inventory?



Why even have the second "quest?"



Oddball choices for the release, but as stated, I'd already ordered the game and I'm looking forward to it.

[Necrophantasia]

1/10.



I could use less Mass Effect and more Baldur's Gate in my WRPGs. I thought that's why they had these two products running in parallel.



As it is, they might as well name this game Dragon Effect 2. I think this game finally killed any interest I have in Bioware products for good.

9.8 out of 10 for me. Minus 0.2 for technical issues.

Everything I disliked about Origins has been tuned up or removed. Dragon Age is now about what it was meant to be: slicing truckloads of Darkspawn in to pieces and chicks with bra sizes that would put Lara Croft to shame. What are the three most important aspects of any narrative?

Sex = check
Violence = check
An amazing story = check

Seriously, this demo is the best thing to happen to my PC so far this year. Mr. Laidlaw, you and your team should be proud of what you've done. Thank you for Dragon Age II.

[Bfler]

If the demo represents the full game: 1/5
Its not an RPG anymore, it's a Beat' em Up with laughable animations. The dialog wheel is designed for people which go to backward school and can't read more than three words.
If there is nothing more in the retail version then I can only hope for Witcher 2 and Skyrim.
I am really dissapointed

Walk linear corridor, kill some dudes, cutscene, kill more dudes, cutscene, kill even more of the same, cutscene. Omg.

as opposed to DA:O get a mission walk run around an area kill some dudes, move on, kill some dudes, open a chest, move on, kill some dudes, loot a chest, move on , cutscene?

you understand it a god damn demo they wanted to show off the game mechanic's not didde about exploring

if people think this has become some crappy JRPG from this demo
1 you stuff all about marketing
2 you fail to realise you can turn auto attack on in the full game
MASHING "A" is optional which is the only thing that changes the combat style from DAO

i dont like chastising but your all ethier trolls or ignorant the game hasnt changed its not broken it plays the ****ing same its the same mechanics with a button mashing "OPTION"

option means you can turn it off and not bloody notice it

as for linear watch the playthroughs bioware has posted its almost exactly the same as DAO in terms of exploring and the way missions are carried out

do you know why? its the same rehashed formula since jade empire someone close to the PC dies at the begining started off with kidnapping death is more epic you go and triump over the bad guys

Is there some sort of standard copy-paste stamp post for complaining about how this isn't "hardcore" enough to be Baldur's Gate 10: Balduran Harder? I'm pretty sure I've read it a frillion times by now. Baldur's Gate 2 is my favorite game ever, but I happen to like, you know, evolution in my video games. And other games.

As for the demo, I'd say DA2 is sitting at a solid 7.5/10 for me now. The technical issues in the demo make me worry, especially since the last few demos I've played were much more polished than this. But the rest of it looks just fine.

On a pure fun level?



I never really found myself just smiling because of combat so 10/10 on that front



As for the story? Don't know much about it yet so 4/10 i guess

[PinkShoes]

i hate EVERY one who has the demo right now! D: i wanna download iiiiit



Damn you England. and Sony. Damn you all!

You do realize that like, superman 64 level. You're willing to say that DA2 is as bad as superman 64?

The problem is DA 2 is reverse evolution.

3.5/5

Pretty much what I expected.

Pros:
-Combat is very fun, IMO a huge step in the right direction for the franchise.
-Dialogue wheel, I love it in ME and I think it works here too.
-More cinematic than Origins, character models and facial animations look good.

Cons:
-All locked.
-Irregular voice acting (not the voices perse but the emotion influx)
-Scenery doesn't look particularly goos and some textures are meh

Overall a solid demo, fun and replayable, but as with any BW game hardly an indicative to judge the final product on it's own merit.
Waiting for March eleven here.

 4 out of 5.

There was a few minor things, that only applied to the Demo itself that peeved me.  Locked Inventory screen, and some strange bugs with leveling up.  And the demo jumped around immensely, which overall I am fine with, I just felt kinda alienated in parts.  But it's a demo afterall.

But overall:

Combat: Love it.  Can't express this enough.  For all classes.  Love the new AoE target system for some reason (more visual?).  More "hands on" action for rogue/warrior -- which brought up the appeal for me a bit for those classes.

Looks/Design: I noticed a lot of low texture armor.  But think thats a PC issue.  But overall everything looked smooth and I enjoyed it.  And I'd call it on the level of Mass Effect 2 graphics, which I am fine with.

Skill Trees:  Not that much is open to us in the demo.  I saw a lot of interesting things. The skill trees that are open based on your alliance with the character is intriguing!

Battle Diffculity:  Honestly I had trouble with the last Ogre cause I had specc'd Bethany as my dps and took the healing tree and didn't save my potions (it was my first playthrough of demo) and I had awkward situations where I guess if you are getting hit you can't use potions?  So I was met with a truckload of "OMGAHD he hits hard and I only have Mind Blast and my staff and heal that is on CD!"  If the VERY first battle that you experience in the demo is any hint of the scale (which I doubt...) then I can see some complaints.  But overall, I found it to fit the level of 'normal.'  

Dialogue Wheel: Love it in Mass Effect, work's well here IMO.  I'm just wondering if it will hurt my replays a bit, like it did in Mass Effect.  I'll probably still replay a lot though.  

Overall, I cannot wait.  

And honestly, I can't say I found anything that I was unpleased with.  I think everything that was changed, they did a good job with.  You got rid of the awkward combat "shuffle."  And made everyone move faster in combat, which makes for some more interesting combat (the baddies run just as fast as you! ahh~).  The graphics were tastefully changed, as least armor-wise.  And the new Flemeth model looks REALLY cool to me.  I hope some armor like hers is available.

You are getting little snappy there. Thread asked about impressions for da2 based on demo. I gave them.
This demo is basically combat tech demo anyway you look at it. So either bioware put worst parts of the game in demo for some weird reason or the game really is like this.

There was no hints of sidequests or exploring here just killing enemies. In full game there hopefully is but you can't get that feeling based on demo, unless getting isabel is sidequest, which I really doubt.

And I don't care about auto attack it is fine, what however isn't fine is that you can throw fireballs at you own teammates, this is supposedly fixable in full game but again you can't know that based on this demo.

[SuperMedbh]

I was going to preorder, but thought "Eh, best wait for the demo". Now I doubt I'll buy it until it drops to the $20-$30 range. Cartoonish everything and no need to think in combat. Boring environmental modeling, despite the clearly better engine. And yes, the "proportions designed by virginal boys" for the women characters irritate me. No need to go into excruciating detail on this, I suppose-- others have said it.

I hope I'm wrong, because I've loved every other Bioware game ever made. But this...eh. Hopefully, it's just the demo which is so awful. But after waiting so eagerly for this for months (once I got over the "no Warden" thing), this is truly a let down.

Edit:  since the OP asked for a rating, I'll say 2/5.  The cutscenes and voice acting were fairly well done, loading interruptions aside.

4.5/5



I loved the feel of the game, it leaves you asking for more. I loved the graphics, the combat rhytm and new tactics. Things I would like to see improved in the game:



- female Hawke running motion ... that is how a bimbo would jog not a warrior ...

- tactics screen, i played the pc version and it was complicated to personalize it. also very limited in the options.

[Itxaro]

out of 10 I have to give it 9.9/10 just for the fact it's a demo, I was giddy with excitement to play it though. and It looks good with the cartoonish graphics, I mean it's a step up from Dragon Age: Origins. And I highly doubt the female characters were made by virgins. I really can't wait for Dragon Age 2, keep up the good work!

[scpulley]

No way to judge right now. We got a very small taste of the game, we don't have hardly any of the story really presented in the demo.



I'd say like an 8/10?

[Aynslie]

5/5 Rated Awesome



I liked the new combat system, the legendary scene made me feel badass, I liked the symbols to indicate tone, and I LOVED the sarcastic choice. Wanting to be sarcastic in ME2 but it made my once paragon Shepard go renegadeish... I also like how Hawke asks her companions for information and they are not just hanging out while she is doing everything, they seem to contribute more. In DAO your companions would give some info but mostly just remarked on stuff from time to time. There wasn't anything I didn't like about the demo, knowing that it was a demo. I look forward to customizing Hawke and using the inventory when I get the full game.



See....now I'm going to be jonzin for the next two weeks o.O
