the most funny aspect of this is all this bloke is doing is stating a fact. A FACT. and then everyone here tries to make out like hes a spazzing **** and attacking him!?!? hes just stating a fact. a very curious fact that of course SHOULD bring up a more eloquent conversation about how/why.

hes not saying "BIOWARE ARE TEH DOUCHE AND SO ARE TEH FANS..."

get a grip folks, a little polite goes a long way...

The game is 20 hours shorter

Of course thats going to lower the amount of content required and lower the size of the game install

Aesieru, well -- I downloaded DA:O through Steam and it was a 15GB download

[Dubya75]

5 Gigs = 50 hours of gameplay, savvy?

[ErebUs890]

Well, we've established it's a compression thing, but what's this about people saying DA2 is shorter? I beat DA:O in like 18 hours.

"Oh for the sake of bacon. It is this sort of doom and gloom naysaying that depresses the heck out of me. "Oh, I don't really understand how things work in the industry, but 7GB is less than previous, so it must be bad." 

I shall try to explain in 3 main points why Dragon Age II is 7 GB.

1 - We used a different compression scheme in DA II than DAO (something called "ogg" I am told).
2 - 2 less fully VOed langauages
3 - Optimized mesh data, physics and lighting (which I am told reduces the footprint of environments by close to 75%)

I know some will still doom and gloom, but the game is 7GB because we are better at making games. So, now that you have some reasons why the game is 7GB I hope this will calm some of you down.

Less space required? GOOD! Always nice to know they are considerate of my hard drive...

Really, this is a ridiculous form of criticism...

Wait, Dragon age 2 is 20 hours shorter? But why?

They actually copy and pasted most of the maps, it's not even funny every cave and room is pretty much a replica of another with different mobs, it's mind boggling how much they recycled.

According to OXM it's 40-60 hours long. Which is longer than DA:O.

That's to be expected from the forums resident asskissers.

Anyone that dares to appear critical of Bioware is denounced as a troll and  flamed .The irony of it is although it is explicitly against the rules...Bioware locks the topic and PM's warnings or bans the original poster....the mob retreat and look for fres victims.

how was origins 18 gig? i only needed to put one dvd in, dvds cant hold 18 gig... or am i showing my computer noobery.

[Goldrock]

that and the game engine but if you lookin at the files im thinking those are compressed and just the download file without the cde key you cant install it yet so it will most likley be bigger after you open that sucker up.

[Greye]

I won't be buying this title due to how dumbed down it is. It's funny that the file size is dumbed down too. Lol.

Yes, becuase optimisation is a bad thing. DA:O outdoor level layouts were really sizy. Remember working on my mod having 6 outdoor level layout and 3 small indoor ones and it was 120mb. Nice to see that DAII did something about that.

They use wave files for music too, those are even greater than CD quality and the size accordingly..

DA2 wasn't dumbed down, it was just paced up a little.

The vanilia game (no DLC) was 15 GB. An installer could easily get that compressed to fit the DVD's space.
