You seriously think it's not already at least a year into development? They don't wait to start making a game until after the marketing announcement, you know.Norfleet said:I think all you people are freaking out about this prematurely. I remind you, there's no such thing as DA2. It is nothing more than empty vaporware, devoid of actual substance. When they bother to actually MAKE the game, we shall see. Until then, it is just another DNF.
Seriously, it's very nice to see they're willing to take lessons from Alpha Protocol. I actually have hope for C&C now. Maybe they'll also remember to make all options ambivalent for supposedly difficult choices, instead of like in Redcliffe or the Circle.3) Pissing off party members won't always be a bad thing. "They won't necessarily leave. They may still join you, but they're going to try to show you up, and that may influence battle in a different way."
5) The way the story unfolds will be very different compared to the past Bioware games. "Dragon Age II has a framed narrative structure, which means that the exploits of Hawke occured in the past, but are being retold in the present." "Narrators with unique insights into the events in question tell the tale of his past adventures."

But depending on your choices, you'll be fighting guys with red uniforms instead of guys with green uniforms that will follow the same script and send coincidentally the exact number of operatives even if they belong to two radically diffeerent organizations! And you can side with different groups in the end although you'll have to go through the same level regardless and do the same things!
And you won't receive cool emails or bang chicks if you choose wrong!

Yeah, especially considering how often you don't get a choice in what Thorton has to say.Azrael the cat said:If they can't give you a real choice, just keep the dialogue/cutscene running until a real choice comes up.
Remember that part in Fallout where the stealth-oriented PC is forced by the game to surrender all his weapons and march right into his adversary's lair?Azrael the cat said:I fucking hated it how in FO they'd pretend to have choices, but you still ended up seeing pixels on a fucking screen, just put in different patterns with different texts beneath.
4) We're getting the ME2 conversation wheel, but this time instead of having some dialogue be a particular color the center of the wheel will show a symbol to show what kind of reply it is. (The article uses the examples of them being something like aggressive or sarcastic)
3. Hawke didn't just survive the blight...he escaped it.
4. Hawke is the Champion of Kirkwall.
5. Hawke drives the story.
Dragon Age II is not about killing an ancient evil or about quelling another blight; Hawke is the driving force behind the narrative. Over the course of the game's 10-year timeline, players' actions and choices will determine Hawke's history, relationships, and regrets...all in service to answering the larger question: Who is the Champion of Kirkwall?
4. Hawke is the Champion of Kirkwall.
Who is the Champion of Kirkwall?
"Rather than try to mimic the PC experience on consoles, Dragon Age II has a battle system more tailored to the strengths of the PS3 and 360."
Azrael the cat said:I take it a Tony Hawke skateboard crossover is out of the question then?
