Dragon Age 2 Will Look "Super Hot"

I'd prefer it if they gave the option to put the combat into Turn-Based style, so I could actually formulate a strategy rather than. The few the game really has available.

Freeze as much stuff as possible, let rogues shatter
Drop AOE and Kite in a circle
Have every character either die within the first 3 seconds of the fight, OR drink every health potion you have.

Turn Based worked fine with KOTOR, I was really annoyed I couldn't even turn it ON in DA:O.

Its really my only gripe, it made playing on "Hard" more like "Impossible", and often I'd have to turn the game on Casual just to get past certain fights where I'd die 20 times in a row on Normal because there are casters in the back that aren't in range.

Hmmm, I wouldn't want them to jump too far ahead technologically either because truthfully I think needing to spend hundreds of dollars to upgrade PCs is one of the things that has been hurting the PC market to begin with I believe.

That said, I am hoping "super hot" will also include more detailed sex scenes where women take off their bras to do the naughty, not put them on. :p

If we aren't going to have M rated content in our M rated games for real, by all means at least give us Leslie Neilson style full body condoms for the sex scenes so I can get a laugh.

Am I the only one who thinks "super hot" is an unfortunate choice of words? I can't help but see even more gratuitously exposed body parts in this series' future.

"Totally hot" graphics are nice, but I'd rather they just fix the damned AI and pathfinding.

I'm here for you--you're not alone. I was quite happy with the graphics, and while I'm not opposed to them working on making them better, I have no issues with the current graphics setup. Christ, look at the source engine, shit hasn't changed in what, a decade? I loved DA:O's graphics, and in all honesty, they really aren't as bad as the hype has made them out to be.

Dear Bioware

Make the game challenging, engrossing and have a variety of good weapons/armour.

I dont care about pretty as much - the last one looked ok.

I thought it was graphically good too, hope my Sli'd 260's can handle the super hotness of the second one?

Yeah, great, better graphics, woo hoo. How about improving the gameplay instead? That might make me buy it, but otherwise I'll be giving it a miss.

Make Alister less of a whiny ass emo pansy ***** and i'll be good. Graphics don't bother me in the slightest.
:O I LOVED Alistair. I thought he was one of the best characters. His banter with Wynne was also brilliant.

I thought the graphics were decent. I never found the flow being broken by dodgy graphics.

I just hope they fix some of the small things. Like if you kill a creature that has loot, it comes up straight away. The amount of times I killed a group of creatures, waited around a second or two and saw they had no loot, began to walk away, then suddenly they have some.

I played DAO on PC, not on super high settings, and thought it looked good. Maybe console peeps have too high of expectaions on graphics, when not a downloadable 'arcade' game.

I'm frankly really glad that the graphics in (most)games are (somewhat)limited to the xbox' capabiltiies. It means that I don't desperately have to upgrade my game comp until Microsoft upgrades theirs.

Hmmm... just realized I spent about 90 hours holding down the Tab key.

I loved Alistair as well. On my second full playthrough and just reached the scene where you bring him Morrigan's.. offer on the final night. Even if he wasn't great the rest of the game (which he is), that one scene would have sold me on him as a great character. :)

You know what would be really REALLY hot. Coming up with a better way to make some party members stay and others move. Hardest part of the game is keeping them from running to their death, or shield blocking a doorway.
