Dragon Age II German demo is out

Hmmm.... I'll reserve judgment until I play the game myself. Thoroughly enjoyed DA: Origins.

Thanks.

Female armor... because less is more.


There are much more revealing ones out there naturally. I just didn't feel comfortable posting anything more revealing than this on these forums.

Geez who knew they wore high heel shoes in the dark ages. LOL

I already saw much of the gameplay of DA2... utter crap it is!

Mages don't charge spells?
Warriors can't dual wield?
Skill trees as straightforward as they get?
"PS2" graphics?
Absolutely NO real mention of Gray Wardens?

L O friggin' L
!!!FAIL!!!

EDIT: So, I was bored, and I downloaded the demo. That was an hour (or even less) of my life lost forever in utter boredom, frustration, and just plain laughter. First combat move I did (played the rogue)? "Rush"; knocked back 5 or 6 enemies, threw the stun bomb and finished them one by one... All that in about 10-15 seconds?
WHAT?! THE ?! HELL?!!!

Frustrations: the imbecile called camera!!! Instead of using the pause button to set strategies, I used the pause button to readjust the stupid camera! It's completely worthless in all other cases, even with the high number of enemies.

Boredom: Storyline and voice-work! The Champion's mother's (english) voice-over was done by the same woman who gave her voice for the human warden's mother... And what the hell is the point of Flementh in DA2? Her appearance is completely different, even though according to the story, the Wardens just left the Wilds after Ostagar and Lothering fell! That is idiotic, too. If you played DA:O you'd know it was quite a while into the DA:O storyline till Lothering fell, but in DA2, they speak of it like the village was attacked only days after the battle at Ostagar.
Templars are not templars anymore, now they have seekers or whatever... This lore is not in the game, but I have sources that say templars have been changed, and the lore is now completely f****d up!



As for the laughter, I think it's pretty obvious. Graphics and gameplay (le gasp)!
Regressing graphics so the game would be more playable for console fanboys is pure blasphemy, and NOT the way to make a sequel, Bioware! I thought the success of Mass Effect and DA:O didn't hit you all in the head, until I actually saw the conversation wheel... bleh! The camera is clearly made for consoles, not PCs, and the graphics? Seriously, I felt like I played a mediocre PS2 game, honest to god!

I have to shower, I feel the need to cleanse myself from this experience. I will NOT be buying the game, not even waste my time stealing it from a torrent. No way in hell.

Some here agree with your sentiments - Dragon Age 2 - Page 7 - Rage3D Discussion Area, especially this post - Rage3D Discussion Area - View Single Post - Dragon Age 2 - And these are before the demo release

Hmmm.... I may have to rethink my pre-order now

Does PS2 feature DX11 graphics? I ask because I don't have any gaming consoles.
