Horrible Music... doesn't even flow properly together...

That being said, I'd be more interested in this if they put more into including your Dragon Age Character / Save somehow. That's one of the features that made Mass Effect 2 so appealing.

Dragon Age has so much depth and character to it. It really feels like they're just abandoning it atm...

Sequel already after 1.5 year?
Will probably be something like L4D/L4D2 crap in terms of functionality.

Awesome trailer, I can not wait.

What say you, 10 years before Dragon Age actually looks like the trailer, or more/less?

Cool trailer.

I haven't had the pleasure of playing Dragon Age 1 yet, but I hear it's a reasonably good spiritual successor (on PC at least) to Baldur's Gate.

I DEARLY hope they don't change things much for the sequel just to appease more casual gamers and people who don't care about RPGs, it would be very unfair on fans of the game.

less action, more story :)

seriously, will this game be in any connection story-wise to the first? or are they just using the name to sell sell sell?

hopefully DA2 won't be the super-cliched mess that DA:O was.

I enjoyed DA:O immensely, unlike Mass Effect. Looking forward to this.

I really liked the art style of the first one, minus the armor. Something about the lighting, models, and textures made me really enjoy just exploring crap and looking around. Heck, even the menus were fun to play around in. The armor, specifically the mage armor (read: dunce hats), left a lot to be desired.

It's cool that they're making a sequel, but I hope they don't screw it up too badly. I'm skeptical, unfortunately :(
