Spoiler: show

After watching the trailer did anyone else think "This is Morrigan's child"? Going with the Dark Promise ending it was said her child would carry the soul of an old god, i.e. a dragon. The last sequence of the trailer seems to point towards that possibility. The resemblance to Morrigan is also there, and it would make for an interesting plot dynamic.

[Elcura]

I didn't, even though there is a little resemblance there, but probably just our imaginations. Anyway, I wouldn't think it's a plot point, cause if DA2 allows you to customize your character's appearance, then there's no good way to link the two together.

Though I do remember reading, either in this topic or somewhere else that Morrigan's baby had nothing (or little) to do with DA2.

[Arelian]

I thought DA2 took place alongside the events of DA:O?

[Elcura]

I dunno about that, I don't think they mentioned when it started in relation to DA:O.

[Insanecyclone]

DA2 is a 10 year story spanning from the start of Origins and future events.

I have no idea what this game is going to be like, I have not yet played the first one, but god damn that was an awesome "trailer". I can't remember animated fighting that good since Onimusha 3.

If only the game actually looked like that:

"All of Bioware's CGI trailers are done by an outside company called Blur Studio who also did a lot of other popular video game trailers/cinematics." (from kotako)

By the way, play the first one, it was a pretty awesome game. Play it on PC though, as it by far the best control and is the only version you can zoom out to an overhead view(besides mac, which has 1/4 of the DLC content and tends to have lag).

I plan on playing the first one some time. I know it's best on PC, but I love me some trophies.

I knew that had nothing to do with gameplay, just looked really awesome.

You should get the first. I loved DA:O, it had a few flawed mechanics but it was pretty solid and fun.

This might be the first time I've seen someone dislike a game because it has no grindan.

It's more of the game having no option for the grindan. I was completely turned off by the game when I realized that you couldn't eventually max everything out for any given character, and you would never see every spell/ability for even one class without quitting and starting from scratch.

Everything else was extremely well, but if I feel like grindan, I should be able to go grindan.

This game however had massive replay value built into it though, between six starting stories and the 4 or 5 major plot decisions. Yes they all brought you to the same place, but the story was complex and detailed enough to make it worth wile to do at least a few playthroughs.

Also, kicking the the difficulty up a notch made each run through much different and significantly more challenging. Most games that really doesn't happen.

I plan on playing the first one some time. I know it's best on PC, but I love me some trophies.

I love me a good console game, but trophy whore or not, I still would go PC with this one. There's a huge difference in only being able to see over characters shoulders and birds eye view. It's pretty crucial if you plan to play the game on any setting besides easy or normal. I can't even imagine nightmare setting from third person view.

If you want to max every spell/talent you could always use the item duplication exploit on tomes.

This is true until they released awakening where they have the respec tome that resets skill/attribute points

I dunno man, game looks like shit.

So far, that's Batman AA2, and DA2 that look like shit according to you. Got any more to add that are on the shit-o-meter? Just curious.

[Kyo]

Only games that are months out and people bitch about how they look.

If you think i was being serious, then you need to check for that woosh, and we're publishing DA 2 to boot, lol.
