Got through the demo, for some reason I got logged off the network so I have to run it again to unlock the item. Which is no biggie, I'd plan to run it several times anyway.
It's pretty awesome. The skills and combat is like a night and day improvement over the first. I played mage the first time through, and you're powerful right from the get-go (I mean when the 'real' story starts...). But the warriors are really strong too. Aveline's a strong tank immediately, and Carver can chew stuff up. I'm going to play as a rogue next time through, to get that flavor.
Nothing really to complain about. It still feels like dragon age. I couldn't figure out how to completely turn tactics off (I never used them in DA:O...) so I had party members occasionally randomly attacking stuff, but they weren't wasting spells and skills since I'd clicked those off. The overhead camera doesn't go quite as far back/high, but it's not enough to really feel like a deficiency. And while the combat seemed more fast pace, and a ton more fun, it still, again, feels like dragon age. I was pausing and telling everybody what to do just like I did in the first game. You're locked into Normal difficulty, so it's obviously going be easy, but I'm already sweating thinking about how to get through the starting sequence on Nightmare.
Can't wait another two weeks...
