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

(is that Flemeth's voice?)

I noticed that performance was a tad sketchy - I guess you are supposed to just play the game in DX9 mode.

The PC demo has known performance and stability issues with DirectX 11. These have been fixed in the final game.

We recommend that all users disable DirectX 11 while playing the demo, including those with high-end machines.

Let me see if I can find a good trailer...

keg in kc · 02-23-2011, 05:39 PM

About 30 minutes of gameplay, obviously spoilery.

(Want now!)

They sure did not skip on the blood, thats for sure.
Love it!

This will probably get pulled, new trailer:

keg in kc · 02-23-2011, 09:24 PM

Console commands work in the demo.

Spoiler!

And it's just me being paranoid, but I made sure I wasn't logged into EA when I ran the console. For whatever reason.

Guess we aren't going to get our freebies. Only have 872k downloads as of right now.

In the past when they've come close on stuff like this, they've thrown the fans a bone. Hopefully this'll be the same.

**Saulbadguy** · 02-28-2011, 12:28 PM

I think i'm going to roll with a Rogue first playthrough. I played warrior and mage in DA:O so this will be a nice change. I love the way the rogues move and are able to teleport/evade.

keg in kc · 02-28-2011, 01:06 PM

I think I'm running a mage on Nightmare, just like Origins.

Got this feeling it's gonna be harder.

I just wish I could keep Bethany and kill Carver. Oh well.

That ****er's going to join the Templars on me. I can feel it.

keg in kc · 02-28-2011, 01:43 PM

Oh oh, we got the freebies after all!

They're up over 1.1 million, officially. Items are on the user entitlement page

That gives me, so far:

The Far Cliffs of Kirkwall
Lothering's Lament
the Staff of Parthalan
Hayder's Razor
Hindsight
and (hopefully, fingers crossed) Ser Isaac's Armor

**Saulbadguy** · 02-28-2011, 01:45 PM

The females in this game are all much more endowed.

**Saulbadguy** · 02-28-2011, 01:46 PM

The third and most powerful tome is waiting to be unlocked. To unlock the tome “Of Things Not Lost” visit the Dragon Age Facebook page and share that days post. If each post from now to March 4, 2011 is shared and reaches 1,000,000 Impressions the day it is posted the tome will unlock.

What makes you think you won't get Ser Isaac's armor? It's already on my registered items page or whatever.

keg in kc oxymoron Join Date: Feb 2001 Location: OP/KC/Whatever Casino cash: $9556299	Console commands work in the demo. Spoiler! go to the demo folder (For me it's c:\program files\dragon age 2 demo\). Open up the bin_ship folder. Find DragonAge2Demo.exe, create a shortcut for it on the desktop. Right click on the shortcut, select properties, and then where it says Target add the line " -enabledeveloperconsole" (with the space before the dash, but without the quotes...). Start the demo from the shortcut... Once you're in the game, the tilde key opens up the console. You can't see what you're typing, but it does work, I've leveled my characters up to 15 (it takes about a million xp to level to 49, apparently the highest you can go). The command for adding xp: runscript addxp x (x being whatever amount you want to use...) I'd never use the console in the real game, but it's fun to play around with in the demo to see some of the skills you can't normally get to... Thread on the bioware forum with more info: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/to.../index/6169685 And it's just me being paranoid, but I made sure I wasn't logged into EA when I ran the console. For whatever reason.
