It looks tremendous and really fun. I know most people here will hate on it because it's a Bioware game, but I encourage new readers to draw their own conclusions.

it looks like 5 seconds of footage that doesn't really show anything other than the combat looking more actiony.

Most JRPG play more like a RPG than DA2 actiony button mashing, which says a lot about what Bioware has become.
I hate to admit, but Bethesda and Obsidian are the only developers who are still making RPGs, no matter how shitty they are. Bio doesn't make RPG anymore, it makes interactive movies with actiony combat.

I heard Dragon Age 2 will take the hardcore-button-mashing to a whole new level. True? I predict a sparkling quest trail for DA 3.

I hear dragon age 2 will feature a crossover with ME3 where you have to go into the future and fight the reapers.

If that was xBox version, PC will be the same, so trolling fails.
P.S. "Our combat was p. shitty and fillery, so instead of trying to improve it we ditched it altogether! Now you can button mash with just one hand! :thumbsup: "

Seems that Dragon Age 2 will be the same thing that Mass Effect 2 was for it predecessor. I don't think it's a bad thing.

You just have to lower your expectations in regards with Bioware. Guys above me said that they don't make RPG anymore. And that's fine with me. Show me another who makes RPG-lite games as good as Mass Effect 2. Really do tell. I want to play them.

You people are living the dream of playing BG 3. Isometric party-based old-Biowarian goodness. And it ain't gonna happen. Deal with it.

It looks like the very definition of "twitch combat". The animation looks like shit on top of that. And Ladyhawke or whatever the main character's name is looks like a faggot.

PC footage from another ME2 style port.

The close ups, and animations are lacking. Low res textures and motion blur galore .

They should at least pay the ME2 team for basic modeling and animations.

Expected, but still disappointing .

And not a single time one of them said:

"When You Left - click the mouse button - something awesome happens." :)

xbOX version with toolbar and hotkeys numbered 1,2,...,9,0? You really are the most ignorant motherfucker on these forums.

I like how everyone at Bioware thinks Hawke is some badass looking dude, but he really looks pretty gay. He looks like Number One from Star Trek: TNG.

Beard doesn't always = manly, silly Canadians.

EDIT: Also, why the hell did they decide to keep the stupid ass 'blood specks'? It looks like the party was trying to paint somebody's ceiling red and got a little overzealous. It's not 'brutal' or 'bad ass', it's fucking silly.
