Dragon Age 2 cinematic question

[4RM3D]

A few days ago I completed Dragon Age 2. Incidentally, someone mentioned I should watch Miracle of Sound [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/miracle-of-sound]. MoS also did a Dragon Age 2 song [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/miracle-of-sound/2965-Age-of-the-Dragon-Dragon-Age-2-Song]. I just finished watching that song. In that song are a few fragments showing cinematics from the game. The first is a lengthy part about the battle with the Arishok and then there is another short cinematic about Isabela. I have not seen either of those 2 cinematics in the game. Does anyone have any idea about this?

Those are just from the trailers, they're not in game cinematics.

Bioware, especially for promotional uses, frequently contracts Blur Studios [http://www.blur.com/] to create cinematics for them, and sometimes they are not included in the game at all. I'm guessing because there is no way for them to import a custom character into that level of cgi. There were two other cinematic trailers like this for Dragon Age: Origins that were similarly not part of the games content.

Those cinematics are from a CGI trailer, not the actual game.

More specifically, the extended trailer.


(I always feel sorry for the Arishock when I watch that. Damn, that guy was awesome.)

I see. Thanks for the info guys. It's a shame those cinematics are not in the game, because they are pretty awesome.
