Trailer premiered at gamescom a few minutes ago, seems like a good time for its own thread.

Have you redeemed it yet?

keg in kc · 02-16-2011, 12:32 PM

Yeah. I've been playing it every few hours when my party timers are up.

I wonder if I'm violating some kind of NDA saying that.

keg in kc · 02-17-2011, 12:50 PM

I still can't decide if this is lame or cool...

Very cool. She is an actual geek - doesn't just play one on television.

I eat this kind of stuff up - anything to expand the canon of the lore is just awesome.

Demo unlocks tomorrow.

BioWare is pleased to announce the Dragon Age 2 demo coming February 22.

In the demo, players will venture through the game’s prologue, choosing from three different character classes. They’ll also learn more about Hawke and hone their skills and abilities that will make them the ultimate hero. After finishing the prologue, players will enter a key new location in the world of Dragon Age, Kirkwall, befriending Isabela, a romantic interest in the game who is also a deadly smuggler. Upon completion of the demo, players will unlock a special weapon, Hayder’s Razor, an ancient dwarven blade which increases health, mana, and combat abilities, in the full release of Dragon Age II.

In entirely unrelated news I'm just shy of level 11 in Legends. Still haven't friended anybody, was seeing if the game is soloable. Which it obviously is...

Guess there's a character wipe wednesday.

I can't get it to load at work.

keg in kc · 02-21-2011, 03:09 PM

Cough.

Actually it's going to fit in perfectly with my job. Craft 2nd tier potions and bombs on the 1-hour timer, do combat every 3 or 4 hours during my longer breaks.

keg in kc · 02-22-2011, 12:30 AM

I really hope they get their million demo downloads. I want the extra DLC items.

Less than 12 hours to go!

**QuikSsurfer** · 02-22-2011, 09:36 AM

I didn't realize they took duel wielding away from warriors.

Edit: and no, I don't have the demo yet. Keeps timing out on me. I've found a few torrents though, we'll see...
