Anyone have the demo crash for them while playing? Just starts to say "Dragon Age 2 has stopped working" just randomly during gameplay.

Anyone figure out a fix for it?

Its the EA effect!!
It's always easy to blame EA, but it's still Bioware's product.

If their publisher has been intervening, they shouldn't just bend over and take it. I highly doubt this has much to do with EA though; it seems obvious to me that Bioware looked at Mass Effect 2 and tried to emulate the changes made there with Dragon Age 2, which looks like it may have resulted in a rather stripped back RPG.

I've yet to try the demo though, so I can't really say too much.

Gonna get it on Pc instead LOL

I didnt figure this out on the PC demo, but in the keyboard bindings there is this thing were you could press one button and your controlled character could auto attack the closest enemy or loot items/chests...etc. run automatically to them and do their thing, just fantastic!

I mapped it to E button so I could make it more "actiony" and more like a console so its faster gameplay and less mouse clicking for some many crap (other than menu).
This alone made me decide to go with Pc version :D

Finally got it on PC + high res textures, nice!

I love the game damn it, the combat is so much satistfying.
I dont care who says what, but I hate micromanaging my inventory for the companions, only equipments though.
But stuff like weapons, items and tactic part is fine by me.

Also, I would easily gotten it on PS3 if they added auto interact nearest enemy/loot button, but they didnt and that pisses me off.
On PC, I have it on E so I can quickly just press E and controlled character will start attacking the nearest enemy, or even run to them to do so. Or even if there is loot from bodies, chests...etc. they will run to them take them.

This is the core feature that made me decide to go with PC version without any hesitation.

But the level designs, dungeons....etc. is very similair, barely any difference unlike Origins, and thats one thing I hate about DA2.
Origins had like old ruins, various designs of locations, snowy mountains, various dungeon designs...etc. this one is only in Kirkwall so any dislikes for those type of stuff, I agree. (I am not super far in, but so far its decent interms of level designs), but I understand the hate for that.

I went with two handed warrior, a beast of a class, but I am going to make a Mage soon and check that class out as well, so basically swap accounts LOL, rogue is gonna be last :P

But yeah, so far I am liking the gameplay alot.
Story is nice, nice to have a talking main character.
I love Merrill, a dalish blood mage. She is one of those lonely but wants friends and her voice and accent reminds me of Leilana from Origins which I loved! (couldnt get a full romance with her, too tricky hehe).

Combat is much better, more exciting and much more fun.
Story is good, typical Dragon Age fantasy story hehe.

But the biggest thing that is bad is the fact you are in Kirkwall the entire time with some minor changes outside of the Kirkwall city but dont expect Origins size.

Its like Denerim from Origins.
Huge city, but within that there is minor other places located in the same area.

I am dissapointed considering how big Origins was.

I dont mind being in Kirkwall all the time as long as it fits the story and there are plenty of places to go, but the copy and paste areas i have been hearing about worry me, i know its over a period of 10years, so you do revisit certain areas again and see them after a year or so has passed, but still if i'm playing for 40hrs or so, i better be seeing enough different areas/locations to keep it fresh, oh well still cant wait to get stuck into it tomorrow!!

I've been reading this stuff about the whole game being in one city. What's that all about? I'm currently playing through the first game to get caught up.

I just did a Deep Roads mission (main plot), now 3 years has passed.
Same place, same look.

I am bored of Kirkwall already, really bored.

Well, IGN made a big deal in their review of how the locations are pretty much recycled throughout the entire game; a complete far cry from the diversity showcased in Origins.

Like I said in one of the news threads: decent action, stripped back RPG.

Should get my copy tomorrow, i agree with delgado, its the EA effect, even some bioware devs have come out saying EA wanted this game rushed out of the door to feed off DA.O success, plus they have already stated that the DLC for DA2 will be beefier than DA.O, pure greed if you ask me.

The reason i'll still pick it up, is at 40hrs and reviewers saying the combat/story is great, still makes it worth it for me.
