DarkeWolf Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 LOL @ Rayman, that's a great, funny post man! As for DA2. In the expansion (Sacred Ashes) that is coming out in march, you're able to import a saved game, and play as an old character, or take the choice of starting a new one. (Now how they plan to explain playing that char if the toon DIED at the end, I dunno! But according to the interviews, the option IS there). Whether they plan to continue that in the sequal, I do not know. I personally think that it could overbalance the game tho, taking an established character into an ALL NEW game. I mean, if you take a new character into Sacred Ashes, they'll start out at level 17-20 just to be able to survive. But a new game, I dont think that they'd put the option in for that in a New character. I mean, how many games really allow you to start out with a brand new character that is say... level 20? (And dont argue with me about the expansion. The expansion is just that...an expansion. You can't play it without already owning DA:O. A sequal is a stand-alone game, meaning that you dont have to own the first game.)Tho yeah, I would also like to take my character into new adventures, into new lands, meeting new people, and then killing them :D Considering the overwhelming player response to Morrigan.... The fact that practically everybody gets attached to her, either loving her, or hating her; I'd say that they would be complete fools not to include her in sequel. Just on sheer marketability. Considering the vast amount of players who are clamoring to see her again in the expansion, think of the sales that would be generated by including her in the sequel. And Honestly, at least 1/8 of their sales were generated by having her splashed all over ALL the adverts, with the word of mouth that you can have sex with her in game. :dry: Sex and sexiness sells. And with Bioware being under EAgames now... sales is what matters. Money money money. Hmmm. Playing a god child character. Interesting possibilities there, to be a living GOD. I think I'll overthrow the Chantry, and force them to worship me now. Being half demon, I think I'll infect the Circle, and turn them all into demonically possessed servants, to help me conquer any army that stands against me. I'll steal my grandmother's tomes from my mother to find a way to cheat death, (ewwwwwwww! Flemmeth!! my grandmother!!!) while continuing to let my manipulative mother still think that she has me under her thumb for her own reasons, till it's too late for her and turn around and use her to breed with my infected mages to create a stronger army. Which I'll send into the fade, to conquer there, once the mortal world is under my heel.No sarcasm, that could be very interesting indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the sequel. I was using it as an example of how they are letting you import characters from DA:OHere's a link to the interview that I've read aboout the Expansion. I havent found anything concrete yet, about anything on DA2. http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/105/1058656p1.html Actually, I got to re-reading that article and if you've got a savegame from before the ending, you can bring that in to Ashes, if the character died at the end. But, that savegame cant be used in Origins again. What I mean is, if you import a savegame from Origins, into Ashes, and then play that character in Ashes, THAT savegame from Ashes, cant be used in Origins. They say that it's because of the leveling cap being higher in Ashes. But, I bet that it also has to do with journal entries, game flags, and other stuff that is written into your savegames, that Origins wouldnt contain. Wishlist for the squel- better meshes for the female heavy plate armors. Honestly.... the ones in DAO are barely distinguishable from the male version :( Edit- if anybody has some reliable resources (not just a bunch of conjecture) about the sequal, Please post links :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenergy Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 The ending did made me think about all the choices I'd made during the game (and some weren't good I tell you). At least in the expansion your choices are from DA: O and your personal relationship (depending on what you did with them) your companions are shown during your adventures. And the name of the expansion is Dragon Age: Awakening not Sacred Ashes :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeWolf Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 wow.... yeah, you're right. Awakenings IS the expansion. Ashes is just a trailor. Wow, I got that REALLY messed up. But definitely thanks for the correction. Definitely try to remember that from now on, hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinylewtgriffon Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Yeah...that whole thing with the sex options was odd to me. I mean, for all of us whom remember Fable 1, it was just a way to raise your relationships and it didn't even go into detail but I mean in Dragon's Age...I was a little disturbed... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thypari Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Oh guys! I just finished it and I know want to track Morrigan with the ring she gave me to get back my son and kick her ass!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeWolf Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I remember some mods for Morrowind that let you have sex with some of the NPC's. Maybe Bioware caught wind of it, and thought it was a good idea. Depending on your ending there's a givaway there. I think it's if the warden dies. Something about a sense of regret coming from the ring, and then absolutely nothing. Considering how bad she didnt want to be followed, she probly pitched it like a jilted fiancee.heck, I've had ex's that have made me want to throw my phone away, I can't imaging if they could actually track me down! We've had a discussion running on for a while now about Morrigan. Consensus is that we haven't seen the last of her. Probably not the last we've seen of Flemeth either. Here's my problem with chasing her down. IF both of them are together, thats gonna be one hell of a fight. Especially if Morrigan is based off the party member's build. I dunno about you guy's but I taught Morrigan some very nasty tricks. Throw her and Flemeth together, and I wouldnt wanna face them without at least two templars busting up their ability to cast!

w00teh Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I want some way to get rid of the Chantry tbh.... They are the most annoying group in the entire game... The ending was ambigous tbh, i don't think the Awakening Expansion will be the only one, especially since they're releasing it so quickly...DAO was released for about 2 months then they announced it, when it does come out, DAO will only be 5 months old...a bit unprecedented but warranted. IMO they should have something like in Mask of the Betrayer, where instead of given a choice to destroy a major power or to let someone else keep it, you get the option of taking it for yourself (You could master the Spirit Eater curse in that expansion and gain an instakill move)...Thats what annoyed me about DAO, you either gave the Grimoire to Morrigan or you kept it as a useless gift in your inventory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
