My big disappointment with this "dev chat" is that I would have liked them to actually play in nightmare for a while and show us more tactical fights, not just the switch to Nightmare and say "hey look everybody dies in 20 seconds isn't that cool"

On of my main worries with Nightmare and even with friendly fire is whenever or not it actually make the game more tactically interesting to play of it's just "harder" for the sake of being harder.

If friendly fire forces you to carefully place your character and plan your fights like it did in DAO then it's fine, if FF only means that 90% of your spells or abilities will become useless because of their too big area of effect, lack of precision or general combat speed then it wont make the game any more interesting, just a chore to play.

The fact that FF is only available on nightmare and not for the other difficulty level tend to make me worry that it might be the later.

I think so

The global cool down on potions alone forced me to be a bit more tactical on the demo.

My internet connection is horrible (yay 3rd world country broadband-but-speed-still-like-dial-up conenction) and thus I cannot enjoy the entire video without it restarting after a long lapse.

Does anyone have a transcript of the Q&A?

[a12boom]

Wow we have other 4 FREE DLC gifts from Biowarefor DragonAge: II and the black emporium and sebastian vael will be available in DLC content area am i right?

[DarthSliver]

I know my internet connection isnt the best but I still feel cheated in the live demo they had yesterday. It cut out at the end when they were finally getting to the more juicy and note worthy questions i saw.

[Sers94]

Do anyone know if you can reset your stats? I know i saw that question in live video yesterday but the video stopped for me for a few minutes.

719 saves, how often does this guy save the game?

Sorry if this has already been addressed, but I thought it had been clarified that the camera was able to move with the AOE spell to position its effect more accurately (like on the console versions)? Sure doesn't look like it in the video... is it a preference perhaps?

One of the questions during the stream was about importing the save file.Mike mentioned that you were able to import a save file even if you have yet to complete the game or did I understand that wrong? If you could import a game file that has yet to be completed would it still count for the achievement/trophy?

I'm not quite finished transcribing the Q&A yet (about 9 minutes worth of questions left to go), but I've posted up what I have so far of the Q&A transcript for this second developer chat here (4 pages and counting):

Ha, indeed. I interpreted the change to Facebook as a way to force players without fake Facebook accounts to post real invitations to their friends. Very EA-like marketing.

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.

It wasn't because a certain person was whipping his hair back and forth?:innocent:

Black emporium looks cool, but it kind of sucks the mirror is something you interact with there instead of it being a reusable item in your inventory.

Seeing that PC version did not show all enemy health bar on pause, I guess it's official there is no way to show all enemy health bar in PC version. /sad, disappointed.

Really?  Even in the demo on a console, bringing up the ring shows all enemies' health.  Maybe if it's still not included in the PC version, they thought you could see every enemies' health quick enough by moving the mouse over them.

In the PC demo though, I did notice they didn't show all the enemies affected by a Warrior's normal attack while they were attacking, while it did playing on the 360.

I tried to watch the video but it does not play - just endless loading (all scripts allowed and no firewall blocking). Probably overloaded. So I read the transcript but did not see any mention of this:

Does FF work against both the player and the enemies? So if an Emissary uses a fireball on a crowd will it damage the hurlocks as well as the player's party or does this just effect the player? Given the other changes I could imagine them just making it work against the player and not the enemies.

[Grumpy Old Wizard]

Yes, FF works against the enemies too.

[4Aces]

Thanks Grumpy Old Wizard. That is welcome news indeed!

Yes, if you have it in Origins and you'll be able to get it in DA2.

... even if I have it on a different platform? *high hopes*

Yay, it's indeed for all platforms. Thanks to Evil Chris and all (others) responsible!

I saw blood dragon armor in the video. How to redeem blood dragon armor or it will be automatically appear?

I'd guess you just download it, the same way you did dlc in the first game.

All i've been able to find or get from anyone is that if you had it in Origins, you can have it in DA2... soo I'm guessing that if its in your registered promotions, you'l have the option to d/l it for DA2.

As of today, the Blood Dragon Armor shows up on my Entitlements page on this site for all three platforms, and the same goes for the free promotions for the game for a total of 7 items.

Laidlaw is awesome and this demo was great.

It was rife with Bioware pros regarding the action in the game and didn't really tell us much about storylines and character development, like an RPG should be. The bottom line, it seems like promoting "Call of Dragons: Medieval Warfare" than the Dragon Age I came to love.. The fact that Mike made the comment about the dialogue limitations to being 6 in Origins and DA2 having 11 was nothing short of being disingenuous. Anyone who read even some of the dialogue selections in Origins knows it isn't as simple as only having 6 choices, there are many more than that.
