This is sort of disturbingly similar to Mass Effect.

"Mass Effect thrusts players into the role of Shepard, a human who rises to power to become a Spectre in the world of Mass Effect. Known to be a survivor/hero/blah blah blah of the Skyllian Blitz,"

Need to see more of DA2,though.

yeah polearm is a piercing/thrust type weapon not a slash or crush weapon.

I dunno. The trailer didn't tell much. Looks set to be the same old bioware rpg formula.

Clear x number of areas to gain allies/party members
Romance somebody
Clear x number of areas to gain allies/party members
Love Scene
Big Showdown
Wait for sequel

Ok, at least I wasnt the only one who got a bit confused with the weapon and the way he uses it.
It does looks like a polearm after looking more, but he does not use it like one.

I compare it a bit to the japanese naginata, but even this has piercing attack

It's a fictional weapon. There, done deal.

Guan Yi would like to have a word with you.

Nope. Some are, some arent.

I think this ended the thread ... XD

no, it is a medieval weapon.

yeah.

nice source.

I meant the weapon used in the trailer. It isn't actually a medieval weapon.

"Nice source"?

Nice net etiquette.

Well, no point going into an argument, let's just call it a "pointy-slashy stick" and be done with it

Trailer was ok for an action trailer really, but the style was a bit too much Final Fantasy-like for the DAO style in my opinion and didnt really made me say "oh yeah, this is DAO universe!", but trailers for DAO1 werent exactly that great to get an impression of the game either.

The devil arms reminds me of Nero. As usual, the story will leave us at the edge of our seat. I have never played a Bioware game where the volume isn't set to very loud. Hopefully another awesome soundtrack.

I was actually hoping for more of an Age of Conan style soundtrack. Now that is an awesome soundtrack.

that hawke look cute... like ff heroes.. nice skin for a refugee... thought he would be a tough and scruffy looking guy...

eh... what that qunari doing there... loose prisoner/pet... assassin... invasion... eh...

I think if its activated on Steam or EA Downloader you can download it... Can anyone else confirm this is true, I'm not very sure.

EA Downloader yes. Steam no. That only works for Steam copies unfortunately.

Me playing as rouge..question is, wat does the critical chance of weapons do? Is it chance that a critical strike will hit? Im a rouge constantly doing backstabs, so how does this "chance" play a role? Or is this chance a multiplyer to critical damage?
