Dragon Age 2

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:

quote:

“Last year’s launch of Dragon Age: Origins was one of the most successful in BioWare’s 15-year history and one of the most successful new IP launches in the 28 year history of EA,” said Dr. Ray Muzyka, Senior Vice President of Electronic Arts and co-founder and Group General Manager of BioWare. “Dragon Age 2 will simultaneously deliver an epic story and set a new bar for intense action in the genre. We’re very excited to deliver this next bold evolution in the Dragon Age franchise to our fans.”

“With Dragon Age 2 we are creating an exciting new entry point into the Dragon Age universe while ensuring that fans of the original game retain a sense of satisfaction and familiarity in the world,” said Dragon Age 2 Executive Producer Mark Darrah. “We are amplifying the things that made Dragon Age: Origins such a huge success while introducing a more dynamic combat system, improving the graphics, and telling the most important story in our world.”


and on the story:
quote:

Dragon Age 2 thrusts players into the role of Hawke, a penniless refugee who rises to power to become the single most important character in the world of Dragon Age. Known to be a survivor of the Blight and the Champion of Kirkwall, the legend around Hawke’s rise to power is shrouded in myth and rumor. Featuring an all-new story spanning 10 years, players will help tell that tale by making tough moral choices, gathering the deadliest of allies, amassing fame and fortune, and sealing their place in history. The way you play will write the story of how the world is changed forever.


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.

I'm getting a kind of Shepard vibe from Hawke, like Biowares trying to pull that off again. Cool name though.

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?

You're correct, some more skimming found a BioWare post saying it's not the child of Morrigan, so nvm my previous post.

Someone made a thread about what is known so far from BioWare representatives on the forum; http://social.bioware.com/forum/Dra...-3064634-1.html

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...

Ditto. I dislike the soulless shells that are create-your-own-characters.

I suspect you can create your own character.

Dragon Age had that. Same with Mass Effect.

They better get someone who can make the dialogue sound as hilarious as male Commander Shepard.

Preferably also a goofy ass smile.

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.

Uh.

Cranking up your Persuasion talent? =/

Seriously, persuasion breaks the game. It makes you comparable with ****ing Hitler in terms of charisma.

I'm just trying to find a way to get the Lady of the Forest to let me kill the elves and have the Werewolves join the fight against the Darkspawn.

Uh, what?
