Dragon Age IIFollow

Firstly, the demo is out at some point today on XBL, PSN and the official website.

Secondly, I just completed Dragon Age: Origins, and all of the DLC's apart from Awakening (which I'm playing now).

How I didn't complete them before, I don't know. I think it's even more epic than the ending to Mass Effect 1. My jaw genuinely dropped when some of the twists and turns kicked in. Maybe I'm dumb, but I had no idea that SpoilerAlistair was the ******* son of the King, or that Anora was going to turn on me, and especially not that Morrigan's aim was to get impregnated by a Grey Warden so she can give birth to a God. On that note, Witch Hunt was disappointing and didn't really tell me much. I hope hope hope Morrigan pops up in DA2... but I doubt it.

I hear it's more of an action game than before. Which is fine by me. As long as it still has some form of the tactics wheel, I'll be a happy bunny. If it doesn't, then I'll suck at the game...

Any thoughts? Who's going to get the demo and/or pick it up when it's out?

There was a video from a dev showing the wheel is still in play in DA2.

I really want to pick up some more DLC for DA:O, is it worth it? I don't have Witch Hunt yet, which is the main one I'm thinking of getting...

In preparation for DA2, apparently there is going to be a 6-episode miniseries called "Dragon Age: Redemption." I'm not one for online miniseries, but as it's starring Felicia Day (of "The Guild" fame), I might give it a shot.

Edit: Also, I've only played the original DA, no downloadable content. I might buy Awakening, although it sounds like the only thing to look forward to is a (slightly weaker) story, since there's no romance or anything.

If the lack of undergarment-clad dry humping is a deal breaker for you, perhaps it's time for you to re-evaluate your priorities.

;)

Or just play Mass Effect again; blue alien chicks are hawt.

Flirting is as far as it goes, as I recall.

I woo'd Leliana as a female character, and she went all crazy just because I was nice to Alistair. Accused me of cheating on her and being in love with him, kept asking me if I was dumping her...

It's amazing how close to reality they can get with video games nowadays, isn't it?

Seriously. My female character ****** the **** out of Leilana. **** was hot, yo.

... what?

I'm just glad you didn't say Stinging Swarm form :D

ye people are ultra sensitive all over this site now.

**** em!

Spider form is hawt.

I hated him the first time I played it. He annoyed me. However after playing through the game, he grew on me a lot. I was surprised just how deep his story got, I expected him to just be comic relief.

Same applies to Zevran. He tries to be amusing, fails in places, then you find out... well, I won't spoil it.

Sten, on the other hand, was annoying. But he even says in the game that he's intentionally doing it.

Started the demo today for II. It feels like a pretty different animal. But so far so good, I'm walking down a linear path blasting the living crap out of waves of mobs with my mage. The way the mage attacks now looks purty badass.

Camera is different. Much QQ already spawning over that I wonder if they will restore top down after all the QQ's sign their boycott petitions.

Functionality is pretty limited. You cant open you bags so no real reason to loot except for the potions. The menu's are definitely more console/arcade friendly. Maybe they will put xbox 360 PC controller support in. That could be fun.
