I've been playing through Dragon Age: Origins, just to get through the rest of the story, really, and it got me curious about Dragon Age 2. I honestly thought "Surely they can't go back to the gameplay method of simply controlling an entire party at one time that acts just like an MMO party, could they?"
After seeing this, it looks like they made the combat MUCH better.
(Even though it still has this control every party member option... I loathe this with a passion).
However, I was wondering if anyone else had come across any more info on the combat system that Dragon Age had. After revealing most of the story, I found the story of Dragon Age to actually be somewhat enjoyable to go through, and the only downside to me was the gameplay (and some graphics issues, which it looks like they've completely redone anyway and made much better). Any comments on how they're changing the gameplay?

So, wait, turning into a God-of-War wannabe style combat is an improvement ?
Meh. I suppose that sells better since more people like it, so I can't act surprised about it.
However, for my personal tastes, it's one step backwards, not forwards.
"God-of-war wannabe style combat". Hah. To me, saying this style of game play is god of war style is like saying all fantasy MMO's are WoW-style. With maybe a few differences, there were plenty of games before it that had pretty much the same combat style.
Honestly, if you like the original dragon age's combat, why not just find another RPG or play a fantasy MMO? The combat in the original was fairly generic in my opinion, and controlling more than one character in that fashion was just ****ing obnoxious to me. I was honestly hoping they would make it Mass Effect with darkspawn and swords, but at the very least I was hoping they'd get rid of tactics and controlling more than one character. Tactics because just having one set of tactics even throughout one battle is just pointless in my opinion, as they should change throughout. Controlling more than one character because the combat should never be paused and switched between characters constantly like that (Hence why I said I hoped for mass effect, I liked that system of combat much more when it came to ordering other characters around)...

Dungeons and dragons? As far as I understand it, you essentially make your own game out of that, so it's always recent :P

Do you honestly not understand what I mean, or are you just quipping ?
Actually, I just honestly don't care. It was a bit of a mix of quipping and being honest with you that, if you want a pen-and-paper style RPG, then play one. I don't see much point in taking that style of RPG and taking it to a computer game, when you can just do it on pen and paper, in my opinion.
Also, I said Fantasy MMO, which was implying one of the many MMO's out there that are more like Everquest and such, since the gameplay from those is essentially just like dragon age, except someone else is controlling the characters (which is more fun in my opinion).... If you don't like that, then meh, I'm not doing your research for you. I intended this thread to be about Dragon Age's new gameplay method, and what it was changing.

My number two hope for dragon age 2: May the sex scenes be better.
I wonder why Bioware doesn't hire "adult entertainment" producers to make the sex scenes... Lol, that would be funny....

You do realise people don't **** in RL like they do in **** right?
Should I put "Lol, that would be funny" in bold for you?

Would it hurt DAge if you were allowed to connect online and play with other people? By hurt I mean would it hurt the genre/platform/style of gameplay etc.
I personally like connecting with random people online, makes for a unpredictable experience but that is just me.
Apparently some folks think so. That's the odd thing, also, it almost strikes me as it was made to be an online game like that, but it insists that you control all the characters...

I'm just glad that they dropped the whole Gray Warden crap and returned to the original concept of Dragon Age, ca 2007. Why we got what we did for DA:O still baffles me. 
Could you elaborate? I have no idea what you're talking about
