lol...and i thought u dl d german version
IINM should be 2moro 2am, which folo US date, juz like steam, update sales on everyday 2am

the graphics for the demo is locked at high :/ and for those wondering, DX11 is available (I did post screens of the German demo a few days back)

unless of course they gimped out on the English version and decided to lock it to Medium instead, in which I laugh HA-HA. (Though really, the only difference between Medium and High from what I can tell is motion blur, and the ability to turn on SSAO)

Really?...i i coulda sworn i that Chris priestly ( or was it mike) over at the bioware forum wrote that the demo graphic was locked at medium dx9 console setting ..or maybe they lied?wouldn't be the first time they did it,they are evil like that...ehhh my bad then



But..but.. DX11 will have clouds shadows..and clouds shadows is awesome,yes? ....

EDIT:Ahh yes it is all clear now.. someone said over at the bioware forum that if you only have DX9 then the graphic will locked into medium,but if you choose DX11 then you can set it to high...yup my bad indeed

mmm, I suppose cloud shadows will be available at Very High, coz I definitely didn't notice any of that at High. I wonder what else will be "available" at Very High, tessellation? I think the game needs a higher texture pack more than effects, really.

FemHawke does kinda remind me of Morrigan but with shorter hair and less b****y..

sigh i must play daa and dao all over again ffuuuu. not to mention my copy of da2 is arriving on march 11

Cloud shadows is definitely in, just not in the demo i guess,and everybody at the bioware forum is expecting minor tessellation..but i don't think they said anything about tessellation.The next Bioware blog should shed some light on this ....




well..i'm totally gonna play as a b****y femhawke in my second play through,i'm gonna pick,aggressive and sarcastic comment all the way...

http://dragonage.bioware.com/da2/demo/

demo available for download liao.

1.9GB O_O

300k downloaded

700k more and everyone gets 2 free items?

Played it and the demo was okay. Basically lets you play a portion of the prologue then skips to further into the game.

The combat will probably get split opinions . Personally i played a rogue and liked it a lot. Its fast, flashy and rather fun. Camera controls felt a bit weird though since the button to rotate the camera overlaps with the attack button which is right mouse click .(or maybe its just my mouse sensitivity too high). Other than that the background in the first prologue area (the one that was criticized to no end) was rather bland. Then again maybe its just the first area.

PS: I advised anyone who wants to dl the demo to do it using steam. The bioware webbie link always times out on me and i can't ever resume it using IDM.

PS.2 : Playtime is around an hour.

A question regarding Bioware points. Usually where you guys bought it?

I clicked the link from Bioware Social and the price is USD20 for 1600 points. But when I visit EA Store Singapore I saw they put the price at SGD27.80. So anyone bought it from EA Store before?

last time i buy direct from social.bioware.com

ever since they updated the interface, cannot buy liao.

just finished playing DA2 demo, awesome!

Can you comment on how you found the gameplay etc? It seems to be a sorta hack and slash...and everything seems to be tailored to suit consoles so it looks a bit simplified...seems a bit disappointing though...the gameplay reminds me of the LOTR Return of the King game...more suited to consoles than PC

it's still point-and-click for the PC, but the action is slick and stylish in a way. You still have the option of pausing and taking a tactical approach, of course.

for those who wanna see what differences DX11 brings

the combat for me is good but sometimes i think the animation is too fast. the 2 handed in da2 is fun to play compare to da:o.

Awesome Demo. Tried the female mage, and it's really fast combat gameplay. I died 3 times fighting the first boss, until I realize I can use the potion. lol

Because no one has posted any screenies yet.

Dragon Age 2 should be renamed Boob Age 2: Isabela Has Nice Boobage.










EDIT: I resized from 1920x1080 to 1280x720... else it'll kill your screens.

Agree on some points. SOme old women still have big boobs which doesnt make sense. Silicon boobs enlargement already got in dragon age era?

I really cant comment much about it. Character design disable, inventory disable and Very High setting disable.

The combat is too fast paced (I really dont wanna finsih this game so fast). The speed on DA1 is good.
DX11 i think is insanely bugged in demo. Lagging to hell with no major different from DX9.

Text speech i still like ME2 style more.

Played the demo as a 2 handed warrior,learned something new, huge sword=weightless .....would be awesome if they put a little more weight into the 2 hand animation.....but it's fast and responsive and that's all that matters..i guess

if there's one thing that's bad about the demo,it's the fact that i still haven't got the free blade yet and it's been 3 hours since i finish the demo.....

I managed to finish one playthrough of the DA2 demo before I left for work. I did it with a 2H warrior as my main. Below are my opinions on this demo.

Pros:
- Moves are more responsive.
- Combat is fast paced, violent and visceral.
- Minimalist UI.
- Same old stuff.
- Art style.

Cons:
- No more tactical view.
- UI is very minimal without any artful design.
- Tactics screen was a little bugged.
- Art style is too clean that on some areas, it looks empty.
