Just a heads up to people who plan to play. There's an ingame item (The Staff of Parthalan) you can get if you sign up for the DA2 newslater in october. Apparently it's something that's been going on for a awhile, but I just stumbled across it today. Thread on the game boards about it: http://social.bioware.com/forum/Drag...4962205-1.html

Dragon Age 2: Going Rogue

An adventurous lady awaits your party.

by Kristine Steimer
October 26, 2010

It's no secret that BioWare has made some drastic, and in my opinion positive, changes to Dragon Age 2 – faster attack animations, a distinctive art style, an adapted version of the Mass Effect conversation wheel plus a fully voiced main character. The updated combat is my by far favorite, as I found the formerly sloth-like animations to be downright dull.

I've seen the revamped warrior and mage classes in action but haven't seen much of the rogue despite its presence at community events like PAX. Luckily, I received some dedicated hands-on time with the final character class and got a peek at a pants-less party member. Here's a breakdown:

Strike Swiftly And True

Not designed for a tank role like the warrior or damage and support class like the mage, the rogue is more of a one-on-one fighter. Great for tackling bosses, the rogue is armed with the speed and nimbleness of a jumping spider. Aggressive, but stealthy, a rogue aptly navigates crowded battle zones with stun bombs and can backflip away from danger or can teleport directly behind an enemy, depending on their skill set.

Rogues are also blessed with the talent of archery, and they can equip either a bow and arrow or dual daggers. Not too shabby.

Practice Makes Perfect

The rogue, like other classes, can be built out to enhance certain traits. Assassin, Shadow and Duelist are all specializations available to the rogue, and each offers a unique way to slay enemies.

Assassins are trained in the Antivan traditions, so they are able to mark their foes and call out a target's weaknesses to their allies, which helps increase the party's damage against enemies.

The stealthiest of all the rogues, Shadows are able to slip away at any moment in battle, lay low in the dark and then wait for the perfect time to strike.

The Duelist, though not as stealthy as the Shadow or as accurate as the Assassin, is extremely difficult to hit, so you can feel free to taunt your enemies while you hack away at them.

Getting A Face Lift

The first area BioWare showed off to the press and fans was the Blightlands, and it sure wasn't pretty. A brown color palate topped with burned tree stumps and rocks, the new "art style" didn't seem promising.

This time, I got to see a bit of Kirkwall. The entire city, though structurally impressive, has a rough populace. My party was exploring a portion called High Town, which is a nicer area but still seedy. Despite Kirkwall's less than stellar reputation, it proved that Dragon Age 2 will be a much better looking game than Origins. The buildings all shared a similar clean architecture, but there was a foreboding feel that lingered.

But the streets were nothing compared to the Chantry, adorned with giant solid gold statues and blood red candles, it reeked of religious worship.

Isabela, My Love

Draped in a skin-tight tunic, a strategically tied scarf around her waist and thigh-high boots, Isabela is clearly not afraid to show off her assets. Though she's your most scantily clad party member, this woman of loose moral value is also a deadly rogue duelist.

Much like Zevran was in Origins, Isabela assumes the role of the "easy" romance option for Dragon Age 2. The temptress pirate was also present in Origins, so if you happened to visit the Pearl (the brothel) in Denerim, she may look familiar.

Lady Hawke Is Hawt

If you're debating whether or not to play as a male or female version of Hawke, I'm going to strongly recommend the latter, regardless of your gender. Sure, Hawke makes a fine looking fellow, but lady Hawke is a stone cold fox. Her bright turquoise eyes make her gaze quite dreamy, and though I've only been able to hear a few lines of dialogue, her voice actress seems solid. So whether you're a woman looking for a character to identify with or a guy who doesn't mind staring at an incredibly beautiful woman for the entirety of a BioWare role-playing game, you might want to give her a shot.

Every time I see Dragon Age 2 I get a little more excited for next year. BioWare's latest iteration of the franchise is due on March 8, 2011 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

New video with some bits on how combat hasn't really changed all that much on the PC...



Still not in love with the look of the game, but I didn't play the first one for it's appearance, either.

Graphics wise or stylistic issues?

Stylistically. Not in love with the character models, the new weapon designs and the flatness/washed-out look of the color palette.

Oh, ok. Did you like the look of DOA, though?

I didn't have any problems with DAO. And the look of the game won't keep me from playing DA2. It was just a generalized comment...

I see. I was just wondering, because I haven't seen any of the gameplay yet (I always forget to look at all the videos when I get home) and trying to get a bearing on whether or not I'd like the way the game looks.

It's a bioware game, so I'm going to play it. It's going to have an amazing story full of characters I'll give a shit about. Graphics are just an ancillary thing to me with these guys.

Plus I really want to see how they pull off the framed narrative thing.

For sure. Bioware has never made a game that wasn't superior.

Direct2Drive does. I've already ordered it.

(course that's also where I got ME 1 and 2, and DAO and Awakening, so the Steam thing didn't really phase me)
