I didn't finish the first one though but what happened to Morrigan?

That's not really true. The previous game was better anyway. I've still got both because it's my second or third favourite RPG series. Loved both of them, also easier to be a bad guy than in Skyrim.


I want to play it now.

Zzonked, any news of the DA 3?

I've not really been keeping up to date with any news, but it's definitely coming.

I think I prefer this series to the elder scroll series too tbh. Just for the story and background. It's got dwarves for one.

Skyrim has extinct dwarves, or dwarvish elves.

Exactly, they had dwarves and they wen't even dwarves! They were normal sized people.

They were dwarves to the giants

I enjoyed the first Dragon Age; never got around to the second though. I've heard bad things about the latter.

I've always been a fan of Dragon Age though I do like Skyrim better than DA2. The gameplay and the game in general of skyrim is better for me than DA, but DA has a much better story line.

I just love the way conversation just flows in DA2, it's amazing. I could just talk all day if was possible.

Battle system is a bit hack and slashy, I don't remember the first one being like that. Still, it's enjoyable.

The premise of the next Dragon Age game will be saving the world from itself amid a battle between the mages and the templars. Locations like Tevinter and Orlais were name-dropped during the panel at PAX. Morrigan, a party member from Dragon Age: Origins, was seen in concept art. Will we find out what happened to the baby Old God? Apparently the BioWare team is working on it.
Whether you play as a set character, a la Hawke, or a created character, a la Dragon Age: Origins, will be based on fan feedback. Laidlaw has previously said he wants Dragon Age to be about a time and place, rather than a specific hero. "As far as the core protagonist goes, if there is a DA3," he wrote on the BioWare forum,"it will very likely be neither Hawke nor The Warden."
The graphics and art style of Dragon Age 2 are unlikely to drastically change.
Co-op isn't planned for the next Dragon Age game, but isn't ruled out either.
Enrolling certain followers into your group in the new Dragon Age will bestow your group with certain passive buffs.
Combat in the next Dragon Age game will be more tactical, and be based on encounters rather than surviving waves of enemies.
Hawke's story will continue through DLC, which will also reveal the fate of his followers.
BioWare also expressed an interest in not reusing environments as in Dragon Age 2. Choice and noticeable consequence will be a key focus for the new Dragon Age game, too.

I just picked up DA2. I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit. Sure, there are some things that I could complain about but whatever, it's a fun game.

Has there been any significant DLC for DA2?

Oh my days, that black rouge chick (Irenee? Forgot her name) is awesome.

I know right. Feisty one.

Looks well different from Origins, had no clue it was the same person at first.

And I like this game and all but there's just so many quests.

Can't even tell which are side quests and which are relevant to the story, it's fun though.

Varric

Hopefully it's not in Orlais.

Tevinter Impreium would be interesting, but I'm not sure how it would work in a mage v every situation, because it's such a mage dominated place.

Possibly the ones that Side Quest and the ones that say Main Quest in your quest log.

But a lot of the side quests do have further follow ups later in the game, but do not actually contribute to the main quest line.

What I didn't like about the second game, was that despite the implied freedom of choice, one couldn't play as a dwarf and participate in a threesome with Merrill and Isabella.

Orlais have french accents don't they?

Come to realise that mages are pretty worthless at times unless I'm controlling them. Inspired me to make a mage guy once I finish the game with my rouge chick.

I had no idea about the journal/logs until I read this.

Just finished this last night. Great storyline.

I just started Act II.

Beast.

Hawke is such a boss.

Dragon age had awesome music for it's trailer.

Is Isebela crucial to the story or do they just put her in the trailers just as eye candy?

She's important, Marvin.

To me.

You can miss her can't you? And Fenrir.
