They advertise it on the EA site, on the main DAII page, and on their Facebook.


Because the average person regularly views EA's website at all, view the DA2 site repeatedly and never comes to the forums, and follows DA2 on Facebook and notices neither the forum nor any other resource which reposted the news?


True. We should have taken out advertising during American Idol.

I missed the stream, but I have one question for the devs, if you would please:

Would you consider patching in the ability to set in the tactics menu an option like "When HP < 10%, then Use: Health Potion"?

There isn't one in the final build, and I find that's a bit of an oversight and can add too much micromanaging to go on each character, especially when DA:O you were able to do this.


Someone asked this, and it was answered, actually. I forget what the exact answer was, but it was one of the earlier questions.

Not the patching part.

Uh, yes. Thousands of people visit the EA site. Thousands of people interested in DAII, but not interested in these forums visit the main page, as well as Facebook. It's ludicrous that you'd think otherwise.


To see it on Facebook, you have to have followed them already. As for the EA website... that's just comical. You really think that thousands of people visit the EA website regularly for news on a game made by their subsidiary when the subsidiary has its own outlet? Or do you believe that "thousands of people" who visit the EA website (not even the BioWare website) are so interested in DA2 that they'd sit down for an hour-long video about it?

We must attend to reality!

He pronounced mine right. :innocent:And he liked my question. I should tape a gold star to my forehead.

Well if someone could lemme know what the answer was, because it's important to me as a whole. It was frustrating that a mechanic I liked isn't in the sequel, and it would be a reasonably easy thing to implement.

Hundreds of thousands of people follow them on Facebook.

Compare that to the amount of people that post here. It takes a second to hit "like" (and, actually, I think FB might add it to your list if you interested them), but it takes a lot more of your time (and, in some eyes, dignity :P) to make an account and constantly read all of the developer posts.

And, yes, I visit websites for games all the time--but the only account I have to an official board is here. It's like that with a lot of people.

Actually, we switched to the Fb chat because we had around 4700 people on the chat asking questions. Too many were being asked and we couldn't pick them out. The Facebook chat was calmer.

Or, if you prefer, it was a huge conspiracy.


Duly noted. I prefer the conspiracy theory, though I'm not sure with whom you are conspiring. Knowing BioWare's sordid history, it could be anyone.

Damn you! Damn you for reminding me that American Idol exists!

Haa, now I get it! You're conpsiring with American Idol! YOU FIEND!

Yeah, I have to agree that it was a smart move to do it on Facebook, prior to the live chat there were many posters on it copy/pasting comments flooding the chat.

About using potions in tactics, from what I understood no. Mike did say that potion buffs, like fire resistance, will last a lot longer than normal. So you will be able to use it before a fight and will not have to worry about reapplying.

uh, is there any chance of this video showing up on youtube any time soon? I have ridiculous loading times on the video. Or could someone tell me what Mike answered to the difference in quality between normal Res-Textures to the high-res-ones?
