Yaaaaay.

Major prediction which will be proven true or untrue very soon possibly.

We will NOT be playing as the Warden from 1.

I saw this article earlier but I figured it wasn't worth posting since it doesn't provide any information that hasn't been known for months.

Hopefully its not a rushed product and actually has significant improvements.

Well, I'm sure we'll have a lot more information in the days and weeks ahead when we see the Game Informer article.

Strange double post*

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I'm interesting in seeing screenshots, Greg Zeschuk mentioned it would look "super hot". Apart from the balance issues I hope the gameplay remains pretty much the same.

That woman looks like a young beatiful Flemeth to me. =O

Heh, you could probably exchange Dragon Age for Fable in that Key features list and no one would notice.

Hopefully these changes are for the better.

Yeah i have abit mixed feelings with this. I liked the origins, and now it seems they're taking that part a way abit. I just hope this means we'll have plenty of cool support characters, but this is suppose to span for a decade so is Hawke an immortal? I guess we'll find out in August.

 

[Benstamania]

I'm fine with this, the only race I ever played as besides a human was a City Elf.

Probably

Morrigan offspring

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

There's a white haired mage and if I'm not mistaken her eyes look yellow.

If I had to guess wildly - it'd be that she's either the offspring of Morrigan or an older Morrigan herself.

Also, I'd wager the character is now going to be fully voiced.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Dragon Effect.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

I don't have time for these snide accusations!

 

[Soapy]

You know... people can claimed it's being "dumbed down" all they want (and they will), but if it ends up being a better game, I really couldn't care less.

Definatly agreed, not to mention since it's going to span an decade of history, i hope this makes the setting alot more Fantasy unique.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

I wonder if this game is going to be set in the Tevinter empire based on how Mordor-ish some of those screens look.

 

[Drz]

By the way wasn't one of the very first concepts shown of DAO being Morrigan? I really do think it's fitting this Dragon-lady is either Morrigan, or related to her.

 

[Soapy]

Anyone want a laugh? Go read the ridiculous and completely unwarranted bawwwing in the official Dragon Age II forums.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

The female and that fellow both have claw things on one of there arms, The larger picture of the female looks like the claw isn't armor but a creature like limb with scales. Actually the males looks like a gauntlet, the females is definably scales.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

So...

Morrigan's kid then?

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I'd say it's Morragan herself, she has the same purple lipstick, purple crap round the eye's and those feather shoulder pads as well as the white hair. Either that or they are attempting to make the daughter very similar in appearance. Giving birth to the child could possibly physically alter her also or something, who knows.
