Dragon Age II Debut Trailer
Looks Slick, Pre-Rendered
Hey its the lady from Fable talking!
Discuss the mess in your pantsNo, Dragon Age 2 won't look this good, but the Dragon Age 2 trailer that just debuted in Germany should give you a sense of the action they're going for. The game will be out in on March 8

So they're looking more into real-time battles this time around rather than commanding a squad like the original?
I enjoyed Dragon Age: Origins really much but I was swayed when I heard something daft like "200+ Hours gameplay" which was obviously misinformed info or a hoax but whatevs. I can't say much from the debut trailer but what I can see is that that Darkspawn won't be the main enemy now from the looks of things?
And you don't specialise in one class like in origins (where you choose to be knight, mage or rogue) allowing more sense of freedom on how to control your character. So looking forward to playing a battle mage if that's the case.
I'll say they wil only touch up in the graphics a little bit (Origins graphics were good enough) all I hope they focus on is creating another involving storyline with more armor, weapons etc allowing the player more freedom to explore and develop their character's and for god sakes I'm begging you! Please more places to explore!!
and don't end the game after it ends T.T

I'm just going to wait for a demonstrated gameplay video before I make any decisions on whether or not I'm getting this. I enjoyed playing a character who I could customise into a fantasy version of me...but playing Ethan Hawke...ugh ah well atleast he will have a voice and will supposedly be easier to relate to...although I just hope they don't make him be like a person that does EVERYTHING anybody asks them to do.
I want it to be like this in a quest scenario:
Quest Giver: Ethan! Help me find the fabled pot of gold!
Ethan: Bite me!
*off with his head*.
You would so relate to that more

Doesn't mean it's flawless.Pretty sure you were calling it "Best RPG of the decade" and a bunch of other stuff, just a few months ago.

Haha yeah it was a good game but like you said too simplistic...It lacked depth to the storyline from the start you know how it's going to end and the objective stays the same throughout. "Gather troops and kill the Archdemon!"..I mean really...is that it?
DA:O was really easy I must admit but the second one has some hope...I mean cmon, you will be able to branch out your character into several classes which will add a new depth to the gameplay (in the video we saw the guy using a sword and using magic as well) which seems pretty neat.
Again it's too soon to make judgements on how the game will turn out although it will most likely be the same as origins with just a new storyline thrown in. Atleast I hope not..

Really? The game just seemed natural to play in my own opinion and I thought it was pretty easy to play, although I didn't like to play stratagically all the time, at times I just wanted to walk in and mindlessly slaughter everybody like you can on easy mode.
There are points in the game though where it did prove difficult (on the first playthrough when I was still grasping the controls).

The story had some depth if you read into the codex files and other stuff.
It was like reading a book of writings.
Also you probably didn't know that the only way to beat an archdemon was to sacrifice a life. That didn't come up until later.
The characters were the best part of the game.
Morrigan Always spiced up the party and seeing her fight with Leliana and Alistair was hilarious at times.
I would not count the game short either As it took me 55 hours on one play through and I didn't complete everything.
If you played a mage it was easy otherwise it could be hard.
They also patched the game later to lower the difficulty.

First off: No. The game is not too easy. Stop deluding yourselves.
Second: No. The age of "good" RPGs is not dead and gone. If you honestly are going to tell me that DA:O, KotoR, ME1&2 are not good RPGS you can kindly GTFO and stop calling yourself an RPG fan.
Third: There is nothing wrong with playing a premade character. You can customize their appearance, gender, etc anyway. That's like saying how bad mass effect is because you can't make your own character and hand pick their stat points while reading spreadsheets in order to maximize effeciency, and then complain about how the game is "too easy" and "should be made harder" just to satisfy your min-maxy needs, with no regard to people who just play the damn game.
But as always I'm going to wait until we see some actual gameplay, because I know the game is going to be nothing like the trailers.
Sorry, rant mode there that always happens when I see people saying games are "too easy" for them. Make it harder on yourself, darnit! Stop whining to the devs to make the game harder for you and impossible for others

moving DA up from Normal to hard gave me atleast 20 more hours of gameplay lol

**** no... maybe on EASY anything over normal is a *****seriously, what have you people been playing to say DA:O wasn't easy?, Mass effect?, Fable? or what?, remember Baldur's gate?, neverwinter nights?, Planescape torment?, icewind dale?, those games PUNISHED YOU and ATE you alive, for even playing like DA:O on normal, not so much NWN to be honest since it had 3ED rules and those were more easy to understand than BG witht he musty good ol' 2EDFirst off: No. The game is not too easy. Stop deluding yourselves.
what about Risen recently?, that game was not so easy to s**** feed everything to you but not so hard that could make you vomit, or The witcher for example, AWESOME game with fantastic story and very challenging on hard even if you are an experience player, Morrowind?, the panacea of RPG's, I could spent a month playing that freaking game and discovering at least some new side quest over the millions in it, compared to...DA:O and it's...30-40 sidequests that last 30 minutes tops?
no, the golden age of good awesome RPGS are dead and gone and I'm only hoping it comes back soon, if you honestly are going to tell me that DA:O, ME 1 and 2 are the best rpg's you've ever played, you can kindly GTFO, STFU and stop calling yourself even a playerSecond: No. The age of "good" RPGs is not dead and gone. If you honestly are going to tell me that DA:O, KotoR, ME1&2 are not good RPGS you can kindly GTFO and stop calling yourself an RPG fan.
unless you want to be s****-feeded anything to you, then go ahead, keep ranting how ME, KOTOR and DA:O are the only good rpgs' you've played, or something, I don't know, I just assume it from the way you are posting
that wasn't a rant, that was more of a misinformed ignorant way of talking, imhoSorry, rant mode there that always happens when I see people saying games are "too easy" for them. Make it harder on yourself, darnit! Stop whining to the devs to make the game harder for you and impossible for others

I didn't play Dragon Age Origins for action gameplay. I played it for the more strategic gameplay and the story was just a huge bonus. I'm scared though, every game Bioware makes now will have a Shepard.
I beat Normal mode nearly flawlessly, I played the highest difficulty my second playthrough and got stomped a lot. Especially against the Brood Mother.

I played it for the storyline, which even if being a little "cliched" was pretty well done, same with the graphics and the gameplay, but I was expecting a succesor of Baldur's gate, i was given none of that, little dissapointed, but good game nevertheless, too streamlined and dumbed down to my taste saddly
and the shepard thing it's not really something to be scared of, it's just a way of adding at least some voiceover to the character instead of making him a complete zombie, if only they could make different voices to suit your taste like in NWN series, but a developer stated that it was something extremely hard to do withouth making the game at least weight more than 8 gigs
what scares me tho, it's how "simplistic" it's going to be if they are plannig the Mass effect route, which I hope they won't, I could understand it for ME since the game has this sort of "cinematic" pace and really encompases the storyline beautifully, DA?...I don't know, I don't want to play Mass effect on a Fantastic Medieval setting again, same with any other RPG they could plan to release
normal was a breeze, so Uped it one bit, still a breeze, only on the highest difficulty was when I saw a true challenge, but since it was all so streamlined I really didn't feel anything really challenging to begin with, brood mother it's all about positioning to be honest, playing with a Warrior Class here, so no magey magey OP stuffI beat Normal mode nearly flawlessly, I played the highest difficulty my second playthrough and got stomped a lot. Especially against the Brood Mother.
Gaxkang the unbound it's much more difficult to fight against since you are fighting in this tiny secluded space and ANY AoE will hit you, HARD

Mass Effect 2 on Insanity takes a fair amount of strategy to beat.

but that's the beauty of Mass Effect you know, that cinematic feeling and IN YOUR FACE gameplay and action that makes it so good, even if it is too easyfable and mass effect werent hard....lol.... fable was and still is childsplay if you know and sense of when to block and roll.

only thing I wanted it's for the game to be...longer, not so much harder since if you are playing MAss effect for the difficulty instead of the storyline and gameplay you are doing it wrong
but at least wanted much more sidequests and something else to do that didn't depend on Mediocre DLC that does nothing but give you petty quests at 30 minutes top, and there isn't A LOT of quest based DLC to make it viable, but that's alright yo, it's mass effect and the game wasn't created as a "morrowind/baldur's gate successor" from the get go, it was a cinematic experience and from that, the game it's awesome
DA:O, on the other hand...it was a very good game but developers bluffed too much about it being the next rpg holy grial and stuff

The main reason why Dragon Age is so appealing to me is because there is no good or evil bar. Meaning you can be a moody person who does things on whim rather than being forced into a generic path. I also loved making jokes at a dire situation or just making fun of someone. Hopefully Hawke will still have the same wit as the Grey Warden.

yeah i loved the dialog in DA origins as a dwarf.
