Dragon Age: Origins Save File Imports 'The World' into Dragon Age 2

Not being able to create my own character completely kills any appeal this game may have had for me. I'm guessing one of the reasons they made this decision because too many add children ended up buying the first game and hating it because they actually had to read their character's dialogue options.

It's a nice looking game but feels so constricted compared to Oblivion. I'd like to see a more open version of the game.

Part of me is bummed about playing this character Hawke, instead of being able to make my own character, if that is the case? BUT, if they do a great job like The Witcher and really push the story further that the firrst, I'm al for it!


When I first played ME2, I did not import my ME character. I kind of regretted it, because the entire story was just enough different that it bothered me, since I saved the council, Wrex, Ashley, and so on. BUT now that I'm playing it again with my character imported, I like that on my first play through, I didn't have all the resources up front.

Anyways, I HOPE that on this new game, that importing my save from DA won't mean that it will be easier. Something I really like about DA, is that on nightmare difficulty I got my ASS handed to me until I leveled up my party quite a bit. I really hope for another game that's just hard enough that I'll be chewing on my keyboard when a pack of wolves eats my party alive -- we do get a party right?

Damn, now I have to go re-install and play through. When they said part 2 was a whole different character I thought it was safe to delete.

I am crazy for wanting less dialog than the first one? I totally lost interest after the dwarf part of the first one,

Cool, and an expected feature. But BioWare still has an uphill battle ahead of them in getting me excited for this game.

It's not likely going to do more than the ME imported saves did... a random npc or two, from a quest in the 1st one, encounter. They blow it up like is some kinda wonderful game impacting thing, when all it comes down to is that one or two random encounters.
