Dragon Age: 2, A few questions.

[Javarock]

Well first off I would like to ask how you can customize the main charecter. If possible.

Second, I would like to ask how the class system works. Did it have the start for all diffrent classes?

Third, I have heard about that the charecter is voiced... Is this true?

And fourth, My final question is whitch charecters return?

 

[Javarock]

Thank you!

A few notes in addition, there is no Race selection. You play a human either way. Pretty standard customization other than that.

Classes work a bit differently. Before you had fighting styles as your main category of skills, and all your points would be dropped into these. Now each class (rogue and warrior) have two main styles and 3 other trees to put stuff into (4 for most NPCS I think). So you spend less time focusing on just getting stuff for your specific style.

Specializations don't seem to require story events to unlock. As soon as you get a spec point (and level requirement) you can get them.

All in all, I'm liking the classes a lot better. Wizard doesn't feel so incredibly powerful, and each class has more things it can focus on.

1: Much like the first. You choose either a male or female Hawke. Choose either from the preset appearances or make your own, then you can wear any armor you buy or scavenge.

2. The classes are Warrior, Rouge, and Mage, and each class has its own unique specialization. In the skill tree all the skills are separated into their own categories. You unlock one skill to progress further into each tree. Once you get a specialization point you can start unlocking the different specializations within the classes.

3. Yes

4. Flemeth, Merill from the Dalish Origin story, Anders from Awakening, Sandal and his father, and more I probably haven't found yet.

I used my Dragon Age Origins save when you set up your character so this may be different for other people
but along with those mentioned there are cameo appearances by Lelianna, King Alistair and a mentioning of Morrigan.
