Dragon Age 2 - Hands-On Preview @ NowGamer

Here's another hands-On preview of the console version of this game. This time it's a short preview from NowGamer. Enjoy:

Have any games had a Mass(ive) Effect on this one?

From now on we’re going to look at the first Dragon Age as an experiment. One to see if old-style RPGs are still viable on console, and one that showed the world that, well – they are. At the same time, it was a game the felt older than it really should have. We expected an old feel, we were presented with both that and some decidedly aged technology backing the whole thing up. This time around it looks like BioWare are set to continue the feel while bringing the actual game experience up to the standards we expect.

Though one change to the chatting options is that the game shows you how you are going to address your conversationee, so no risk of accidentally screaming “I HATE YOU!” in the face of a beautiful lady/man/elf. Dragon Age 2 looks like it will turn out well, though we had little doubt of that. BioWare are making the console versions more for the actual consoles, thus meaning we’ll have a far better tailored RPG to sink dozens of hours into.

 

Final Summary

Things are looking good for Dragon Age II. We can't see BioWare dropping the ball with this from now until March.
