Well, that's one huge disappointment. I probably won't buy DA2 after trying the demo.
Combat is more fun at least, not sure if I like how they managed it with the whippy washy hack 'n slash, but it's an improvement nonetheless...
Will wait for some reviews, maybe give it a week after release to see if i'll buy it, I'm not convinced
I'm currently downloading the demo.
Do the female characters still have huge chins? I swear Bioware has developed a fetish for black/white morality, blue/red colored wheels, and big chins.

Yes.
Anyways now I have to finish DA: O and then start and finish awakening. Ughh.
I downloaded up until like 70% and each time it cut out. You can find a torrent fairly quick with Google though, may take a bit longer but at least you can't lose progress mid-way through.

What real men use
I probably need to update my graphics drivers, laptop can max out Crysis 2 beta but lags like a fucker on DA2...

I've been wanting to try this, good thing there's a demo.
Been downloading for 2 minutes, 21% done.
My internet is a faithful servant, I've still got to beat Dragon Age 1 though. I'll get that done.
Ah, apparently the DX11 in the demo is bugged, don't use it.
I'm getting it through Steam because it's faster.
Dunno whats up with you people getting 250kb/s, I'm on a steady 8.0-8.1mb/s

I don't think I've ever seen 2mb/s in my life, let alone 8mb/s.

I believe that's what they're doing [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/966578-Dragon-Age-2-Megathread-We-ll-miss-you-Alistair!]here[/url]
I thought it was great.
If you like fun in your RPGs then you will have it. The combat is intense as fuck, characters and enemies have been redesigned and are in my opinion a lot more interesting and colorful, the stat system is pretty much the same, UI is fine especially if you like a minimalist approach, and dialog wheel is actually very nice and fluid.

Also the skill trees and actual skills are actually effective in combat and you never regret a decision going into a skill tree. Also I thought all of the characters in the party were just as interesting as the ones in Origins. From what I can tell you go outside of Ferelden and into more varied environments and that really appeals to me.

Graphics aren't the greatest, some blurry textures but I was stuck on DX9, but they still got the job done, also the city design is a lot more appealing, looks like Bioware have learned their lesson from Mass Effect 1.
I still need to beat dragon age origins, but fuck the circle of magi
I thought it was fucking amazing. Though I still haven't beaten Dragon Age Origins. I got to the circle of magi again, and got to the sloth demon and there was no way in hell I wanted to do all that fade pseudo-puzzle bullshit again.
About 15 mins in and so far I like it. There have been some changes but for the most part the skills tree and stats along with the difficulty and tactics is still there from DA 1. The combat is way more fast pace then the previous one which some will like and some will hate. Don't be fooled by the first combat segment in the game; they way over power you and make the enemies easy to kill just to show off what your class can do, it gets much harder later.
Any fears about horrible graphics are unfounded; to me they look pretty much the same as DA 1 but just a tad bit more upgraded.
Why did all the environments feel so empty and bland? I don't think you're even trying to immerse me any more, Dragon Age 2.
The combat was alright, a lot simpler than in the first DA but I'm sure you can crank up the difficulty. I don't know about you guys but I personally found the HUD utterly awful in design, it works well but my god is it horrible to look at. Apart from a few really cheesy lines the story was alright I guess.
The demo didn't really convince me to get the game, I loved DA:O but this... I don't know.
fuck me i keep trying to use the mouse to rotate the camera. Enjoying the demo so far but it's going to take me a while to get used to the game.
My main issue with the UI so far is the level up shortcut on the character portraits, which takes up more than 1/4 of the icon.
Switching to characters that just leveled up mid-combat brought me to the level up screen half of the time.
Looks good otherwise, personally I like the faster pace.
its bad + retarded
there's a icon on your minimap for "plot point" (jesus christ), and there's icons depending on what you want to say. it ranges from Paragon Shepherd, to "lol" which is just sarcastic + your character is an annoying fuckwit and finally Awkward Renegade shepherd.
the demo is literally a straight line too and I can't open my inventory (gotta save something for the full game).well cya
dislike how I can hardly click on my portrate or select things when using a desktop resoulution of 1680 x 1048 (i think) on a wide screen 9:10 or something, the max. The demo crashes on me during a dialogue with the female warrior and a templer, and Flemeth... she is awesome...
I don't like how I can't use my inventory, and I like how the potions are now quick use instead of in the inventory, however I don't like it how in combat, I can't stop my auto attack to cast a spell on the bat when playing as mage, same with using potions. I also dislike it how it cost a minute to use the heal spell and I am out of potions ever since fighting too many dark spawn and an ogre.
I hope the game is still modable...
This demo is great. I'm certainly buying this.
