March 2011? Sh*t. That means I'll have to split my attention between this & SW:TOR. Fark. THE AGONY!!!
BioWare Unveils Dragon Age 2 - UPDATED

Geez, take a break Bioware. You guys have to be working around the clock with the number of projects you have going.
in the 90's, heck! even in the 2000's, Dragon Age 1 & 2 would have been only 1 game... i don't get it why do they have to have such restrictions...
The whole Hawke thing concerns me. I know the Mass Effect Trilogy formula has worked great so far (I personally love it), but I thought the Dragon Age franchise, at least the first few games, would be more personal and customizable. As long as we can determine our race and all that I'll be happy. Hawke is probably just going to be a last name or nickname so the NPCs have something to call us instead of saying "the Warden" all the damn time.
Unless they'll actually make a game with a decent plot for a change in the series, and a combat that will not be broken by like... 3 spells - I'm not going to buy it. DA:O was a waste of my money.
You know... it would have been more awesome if, in the first dragon age, you actually meet Hawke and he just says "Hi."
Although that does mean we couldn't be able to customize him, but that's something i'd be willing to sacrifice.
Also: will there be recurring characters?

Make a decent combat system that isn't boring and a clusterfuck, make more dark choices and give it a graphical update and I will buy.
I liked the first one but it had some really strong gameplay issues and a lot of the writing felt like it was dragged on a bit.

Hawke..is that the family name, like Cousland? Also that "more important than blah blah blah" irks me. Just revels in douchyness..plus my main character was ukltimatly me, so thats a low blow. Mages are better anyways. Im curious if what we did will transfer though, the effects. Sure its a different place, but still.
Um, are you talking about that rumor ages ago about having a Ghoul background etc for Fallout: New Vegas? And that it would be similiar to DA:O in that way?Therumancer said:
Well, that was proven wrong by Obsidian. That rumor wasn't true. I'm sick of everyone going nuts about stuff and no gameplay etc have been released yet. I'm fine with the information we've heard so far.
Guys, did none of you play awakening? Where it says the Warden disappears from their happy ending to go chase down what rumors say is a blight in Orlais?
No threads undone my ass.
But that's not even my issue. Notice how Dragon Age is the most popular Bioware game? Here's a thought, it was because it did it's own thing instead of copying it's other games. So many things I loved were stripped away from the game. The most basic, the customization and origins is gone. The only hope now is a very good story and a very good companion set. We'll see Bioware. For now, I just don't like it. Also I hate the nickname Hawke so.
Probably when they got four studios: BioWare Edmonton, BioWare Austin, BioWare Mythic, and BioWare Montreal.Bigeyez said:
OT: Awesome! I absolutely loved DA: Origins! I'm still playing through it. Best sixty dollars I've ever spent. Well... except for that, er, one time... where... uh, that's another story.
Ahh. Never heard of Divine Divinity. I lost much of my interest in PC gaming after the industry slaughtered a few niche genres I liked and filled in the void with an endless parade of clone-shooters.s0denone said:
As for Mass Effect 2...my buddy gifted a copy to me via Steam, and I love it twice as much as ME1. It's still a mediocre shooter, but I can get behind the 70s style sci-fi tropes. I didn't like what (admittedly little) I saw in Dragon Age though...
