BioWare's sequel to Dragon Age Origins was just announced.
The release date is set at March 2011, for PC, PS3 and X360. The first trailer will see the light of day on August 17th.
BioWare had this to say on the game in general:
and on the story:
Very much looking forward to this game as I loved Origins, hopefuly they will move on to other parts of the world instead of revisiting Ferelden, like what the Elder Scrolls do.
Looking forward to this, and can't wait to see what they do with the gameplay changes. While i had expected a continution of the first game character I am fine with a game about somone else, aslong as the stuff fro mthe first game shapes the aspects of the world.
Visiting the DA2 forums revealed that a lot of people speculate that Hawke is Morrigan's child, however if choices from DA:O will carry over, what happens if you chose to not let Morrigan get laid?
I see a bunch of dickheads whining about how everyone is afraid of change because they want to play as their own character instead of Hawke in the second game.
It isn't about change; it's about resolving one story before starting the next. If they do that, i'll happily buy #2. If not, i dunno...
Gender: Male Location: In Luna's mane, chasing STAAARS!
I just bought Origins four days ago and it's just plain awesome. Now that I know there will be a sequel, Im even more excited. Hope Shale gets ported into the sequel, I like having that golem around.
What I hope gets fixed is the dialouge options. I see options with the word "(Persuade)" in them and that makes me think I earned enough cunning points but when I select it, the characters act all negative-like. In the sequel, if I earn enough cunning points, then the persuade option will open kinda like how if you're good or bad enough in Mass Effect, optional dialouges get highlated in blue or red meaning you can select it without people telling what you don't want to hear. Also, for the love of the Maker, won't Bioware make the protagonist talk? I find it rather ridiculous that in character custimization, there are voice options but the protagonist barely speaks.
