Owaisofspades those are my thoughts exactly! Hope bioware can take advantage of that in the single player. They should definitely do that in mp! Wonder if they do mp they will do pvp.

So, does that mean we'll get better hair?

Good one.

List so far:

• Better hair
• An improved way of storing weapons that can't be described using the word "floating."

Oh god yes! Please, no more floating weapons.

Also, non creepy-looking hands.

[Blacklash93]

Having an engine that seems reasonably adept at rendering large, open envinronments will be a nice change.

Lord knows DA needs less corridor-heavy areas.

What the other Cutlass said. I long for the day I can wear my swords and daggers like actual swords and daggers and not Mass Effect rifles.

Speaking of which, bring back swords for Duelists! At the very least, Rapiers. It would be a crime against Orlais (and humanity) not to have them.

Agreed. We cannot have Orlais without Duelists with rapiers. And while you're at it BioWare, how about some new 'thrusting' animations for the rapiers?

What engine they use for the graphics dont havve anything to do with the gameplay, so I dont care.

[Little Princess Peach]

So what is the diffrence betweens this new engine and the old one? and do we really need it?

[Apollo Starflare]

Considering one huge point of criticism people have had with DAO -and- DA2 is the graphics it is hardly surprising they have looked for a way to change things up.

The idea that having a powerful graphics engine somehow means instantly that the rest of the game will be shallow or unpolished is crazy, and if nothing else TW2 certainly proves otherwise (as many others have said).

In fact considering TW series is consistently compared to the DA series (whether you agree with such comparisons or not), and considering that TW2 received huge praise for it's graphics, it makes sense that this would be one area they look to improve for DA3. And that's not even getting into the fact that new consoles are soon to be upon us.

I will wait and see me don't play many ea games so not sure what to expect from this engine.

I don't care what engine they use, as long as they don't re-use maps and take their time with the game to take advantage of whatever engine.

What this guy said. Also Princess Mononoke, woot!

John Epler,
so you take Frostbite 2 cut from it everything that don`t needed & do special version fot DA:I
is it still Frostbite, or this engine will have her own name?

[The Baconer]

I'm pretty excited to see what they'll do with Frostbite. The engine they were still using in Dragon Age 2 just wasn't cutting it.

You can guarantee a **** load of lens flare and dirty lens, you can't beat Frostbite when it does that.

[Gileadan]

Frostbite 2 is a great choice. Overwhelming visuals and audio, and also so far the only engine where I pressed the "Auto-settings" button and *really* got the best possible settings for my PC.

The Witcher 2 is simply one of the most gorgeous RPG's I've ever laid my eyes upon. It's true that RPG's aren't usually overly impressive from a graphical standpoint, but The Witcher 2 really does show its legs in the graphics department, even on the 360.

[ObserverStatus]

I certainly don't think that there's anything wrong with using Frostbite 2 for an RPG, but hopefully we'll hear more about other aspects of the game in the near future. If DA III has a compelling story and fun gameplay, they can use Unreal Engine 2 for all I care.

[Allen Spellwaver]

What I really hesitate is that FB2 is good at physical destruction which is not necessary for a DND RPG.

CD Projekt RED and The Witcher 2 disagree.

I've yet to play Battlefield 3, so I'm not particularly familiar with the graphics first-hand. I have seen tons of gameplay videos and trailers for the game, which looked pretty amazing to me. Regardless, I'm just happy they're changing the engine. Dragon Age 2 lacked a bit of realism in its look (i.e. everyone looked like they were in a high quality clay-mation fantasy film). I hope the use of this engine marks a return to the more serious, more realistic character models of Origins instead of the DA2 look, which seemed to be focused on the new, unique Dragon Age Art Style.

Wonder if we will be able to destroy our environments! That would be crazy, or an ogre pummeling a house tearing it to shreds!

My thoughts were racing through this thought as well... tiny doorway you run through it to make room between you and Ogre, Ogre smashes through doorway taking out a good chunk of the wall around it . Or a fight with a Qunari in a room full of support pillars and the Qunari chopping through them with his big axe as you attempt to dodge around the other side of it.. Dragons spewing fireballs at buildings with thatched roofing and it burning a hole through the roofing. The possibilities are huge

Frostbyte Engine 2=Destructible Environments

Wonderful thoughts!

*Picture being a mage and being able to lift guys up and slamming them against the wall, breaking it and having the guy fly through it.*

Ooooh and mages lifting rocks caused by the wall shattering and tossing it towards the enemy.

My concern with Frostbite 2 is going to be the character models and animations.

In Battlefield 3, I'm pretty sure they simply scanned in actors for most of the characters that spoke and didn't try to make novel looking people. That's just an annoyance I have with many games- you can make a character look like anyone or anything yet you end up simply copying a real life person.

And along those lines, Frostbite 2 is capable of very nice looking character models, but what about conversation animations? The digital acting and animations in BioWare games have never been that good and now upping the quality of the characters could end up with really gross looking Uncanny Valley stuff. Or, they end up making a 10 hour game after they try to mocap or do some nice looking but expensive animation method.

That, and I'm curious to see how the art style translates into FB2. Pretty much all Frostbite 2 games thus far have been realistic modern looking settings; never anything fantasy, as far as I know.
