Hell, Arcane Warrior alone broke the game.

This is true, AW made a better tank than any warrior tank, did more dps than any rogue DPS, etc etc.

I downloaded the PC version of the demo. Omg, the game plays sooooo much better. Combat feels a thousand times better. It also looks pretty damn nice, even on medium graphics setting.

You guys on the console are missing out, unfortunately.

It sucks that there is no Arcane Warrior in this game. Sure it may have been OP, but it was completely BA!

I havent played the demo yet, but I'm going to get the game anyway!

So what class are you guys going to use first? I'm undecided between warrior and Mage.

I kinda liked my OP Arcane Warrior 🙁

Yeah do not get me wrong, loved Arcane Warrior lol.

Will prolly make a mage first.

Never went beyond the intro levels of my mage play through, so I didn't pick up on that, I was basing this on my default mage party member Wynne, who was more a buffering mage than a destructive one.

Also two of my full play through characters were also Templars, so I tended to experience less of the destructive side of magic.

Arcane Warrior is not a destructive mage.

He is by far the best tank in the game. You simply cannot die with all the buffs.

Blood Mage accentuated that strength by increasing the necessity for a decent constitution, and giving you borked ass spells like Blood Wound.

Playing the demo made me wonder about how to build a strong mage who also wore decent armor, couldn't stand the robe you get in the final part of the demo.

This is going to be one of the few times I buy a strategy guide.

I think I'm going to start of as a mage, and prob buy a strategy guide. The last guide I bought was for Fallout 3

I enjoyed Dragon Age Origins a lot, played the main game for about 77 hours, and then later got Awakening. Nevertheless, I wasn't really interested in Dragon Age 2, enjoyed the first one a lot, but wasn't yearning for a sequel.

But then I tried the demo, loved it. Combat was a hell of a lot better, the fighting animations were highly improved. And I really enjoy the more Mass Effectian dialogue sequences. So I guess it's back on the map for me.

Also, it seems being good at the beginning will make sure that Bethany survives, while she dies at the evil choices (or maybe it's a sex thing, I played the demo as evil male, and Bethany died, while as good female made the brother die), either way, I prefer Bethany and want her alive in the main game.

It's based off class. If you're a mage then Bethany dies, if youre a warrior or a rogue Carver dies. Notice that in the exaggerated version if you're a mage Carver's helping you and if you're the others Bethanys with you. It's to make your party balanced or something I guess.

I got Dragon Age Origins late in the game, but I also enjoyed the game. Awakening was also pretty good. I saw the trailer for Dragon Age 2 and began to get excited for the it. Until I found out that you can be only a human, I was confused how your actions in the first game would transfer to the sequel. I'm still looking forward to the sequel though, its coming soon!

But your decisions from DAO won't do anything in this game will it? As this takes place in a different continent at the same time.

But, but....noo!

I liked Bethany, but I want to kick-ass like he does in the trailer and at the end of the fake beginning. Ripping stuff apart with magic hands.... Darn it.

Choices that the player made in Dragon Age: Origins can be imported and reflected in the world of Dragon Age II. Choices from Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening will also be imported, if the player decides to take this action

From what I've read your choices in DAO will influence the story in DAO, is Alister king or is it the girl, did Loghain die or did he survive, did Morrigan get the child with you or Alister, who became king of the dwarfes etc. etc.

That makes the game more intersting for me, I want to see how my choices changed the world

Does this all take place during the same time? I know the beginning does, but it looks like there's a significant time gap in the game, as you've become a legend. I imagine part of this game is going to take place quite awhile after the arch demon is defeated.

Yes, the game spans a period of 10 years.
