Hawke's "rise to power" will be kind of anticlimactic if he dies in the epilogue. All that effort, only to have it snatched away at the last second. Yep, no chance of that happening...
Nah, we'd give him a truly epic death.
Imagine if he fought some incredibly powerful High Dragon. The dragon swallows Hawke but then choaks to death.

There are a group of people who like the romance for what it is and enjoy the emotional attachment and the rest are teenagers(or adults who carry the mindset of a teenager) who like Morrigan because she has nice boobs.
Oh come on bro, that evil witch has a totally rockin' bod with a niiiiiiice rack. I would so hit that cause I totally need that achievement, man. /Bro-ified
But yeah, I hope they don't dumb down the romances- the very thing I loved about Morrigan's romance was that unlike ME where the romances just stop when you have your "Lets screw because we may die tomorrow" sex scene, in DA they actually have a natural progression and with Morrigan's the sex is only the beginning. Which doesn't explain why they give you the achievement for it right after your PC has sex with her the 1st time...

Yeah... all that effort only to get screwed in the end.... The writers wouldn't do something like that......Terra_Ex wrote...

Are you referring to Morrigan related flags or flags in general?Brockololly wrote...
Hopefully they can make a system that can actually read the flags properly this time...or that BioWare even understands what flags are needed *cough* Awakening*cough*

I believe I'll go with femHawke for my first playthrough to mitigate the chances of any DR moments occuring, instead focusing on amping things up and being the ultimate badass.Brockololly wrote...

Yeah.... If the Warden's storyline is still in limbo by the time DA2 comes out, if I end up getting it, I'll just have Hawke do every dumb thing possible or at least everything that would help out my Warden, even if it screws over Hawke. But the whole ten year time span thing makes me think they'll have some juicy Plot Hammer moments in there for us...

Lol what I loved was this: "WTF Morrigan doesn't want to have sex anymore but is on love!! WTF?!?!?!"
Whereas I took that as a good sign. It means she's really starting to love us. Her losing her temper quickly is also a sign.

Well, if the theoretical expansion pack/DLC does actually come to fruition, do you really believe it'll provide closure to the wardenxmorri subplot? Personally I think the appeal of dragging out the Morrigan thread ad infinitum is too much for the devs to resist.
There's a thread in the DA2 forums on which NPCs will be returning, and Morrigan's was the only name Laidlaw mentioned. I missed Flemeth. It's kind of hard to keep up with the announcements and sort them out from the rumor.adneate wrote...

I don't get it- CD Projekt is tiny compared to BioWare, and the screens we saw today is the best BioWare can do?
The answer to that question is actually pretty easy. CD Projekt is a European company, as such the entire market view for them is radically different. In North America there is a perception that PC gaming is dying and that PC games don't sell like console games. As such consoles must always be considered and their technical limitations have to be accounted for at all times. CD Projekt however is from Eastern Europe where PC gaming is massive and consoles have no market traction at all as such they design for PC's and don't consider consoles except as an afterthought since they are make or break on how many PC gamers purchase their product. Imagine how much more you can do when you build for a machine that can have 20 times the memory of a 360.

Why don't they just cave in and bring in Unreal 3?
I assume they don't want to bring in UE3 because they pumped a ton of money into the Eclipse engine and don't want to have to start from scratch all over again. Switching engines tend to leave a game in development hell for many years, a switch at this point from Eclipse to UE3 would mean a delay of at least a year or more. Also if they're going to do a save game import process an engine change would make that very difficult since UE3 can't read Eclipse savegames. In fact I can't think of any cross engine transfer of any kind ever existing in a game, even GameBryo to GameBryo requires conversion I can't imagine the nightmare it would take to go Eclipse to Unreal Engine 3.
I'm sure, my only exposure to European gamers is them taking up spots in the internet cafe when I just want to check my email.Master Shiori wrote...
I think internet caffee's are the rage in Asia. Most of my fellow europeans that I know play at home.

BTW, on the ME2 front; in Overloard, I thing they've heard you talking Brock. There are actually 2 sections where the onboard computer of the Hammerhead tells you that a pleasant view is approaching and that if you're humanoid you may want to stop and take it in. A couple of long view sweeping vista put in there just for you.
I thought it was a neat little interjection anyway.

Re. gaming marketing strategy: Mr. Addai
and I had a discussion wherein he said that he plans to wait to get DA2
on discount, but in the meantime is going to play Bioware's dumb
spaceship MMO in addition to this or that game. So Bioware doesn't
really lose out if gamers are going to start paying a monthly premium
for the privilege of playing their games and then get DA2 anyway. Maybe
they are hoping to funnel the MMOers into Dragon Age.

But if you do, buy the Enhanced to avoid all the bug of the core game
Just finished overlord last night, (the hammerhead has had a few funny lines like that in both overlord & firewalker) thought it was very similar to a particular mission in ME1. The regenade interrupt with that one geth getting dismembered at the end of vulcan station was probably the highlight of the experience, plus the hammerhead is certainly an improvement over the mako.Barbarossa2010 wrote...

My biggest thing is that the BW posts seem to be falling back onto this 'You silly poster, you have no clue what you are saying because you know nothing about the game. If you kept an open mind you'd love us.' Tack on the super cheer squad following them around and then parroting it in other threads and it just gets maddening. You've told us some pretty big bits about the game so far, plenty enough to start forming opinions.
