Dragon Age 2 thrusts players into the role of Hawke, a penniless refugee who rises to power to become the single most important character in the world of Dragon Age. Known to be a survivor of the Blight and the Champion of Kirkwall, the legend around Hawke’s rise to power is shrouded in myth and rumor. Featuring an all-new story spanning 10 years, players will help tell that tale by making tough moral choices, gathering the deadliest of allies, amassing fame and fortune, and sealing their place in history. The way you play will write the story of how the world is changed forever.
“With Dragon Age 2 we are creating an exciting new entry point into the Dragon Age universe while ensuring that fans of the original game retain a sense of satisfaction and familiarity in the world,” said Dragon Age 2 Executive Producer Mark Darrah. “We are amplifying the things that made Dragon Age: Origins such a huge success while introducing a more dynamic combat system, improving the graphics, and telling the most important story in our world.”

A couple of other interesting points about the game that we thought we would share with you -

The Dragon Age 2 story can react to the decisions made in Dragon Age: Origins. If you import your Origins playthroughs, you will experience the consequences of the choices you made previously. However, this is not necessary to fully experience Dragon Age 2.

Your character in Dragon Age 2 will be a legendary figure in the history of Thedas. Not only will you hear people respond to your conversations, but your character will also be fully-voiced. You will play as a human male or female of any class you wish: Warrior, Mage or Rogue.

Dragon Age 2 takes place sometime after the Blight of Ferelden, as the Darkspawn and other threats emerge to endanger the world again. The story unfolds over the course of a decade as you rise to power and change the world.

Dragon Age 2 is set in the same world as Dragon Age: Origins, and you will cross paths with many of the same individuals and groups that you encountered before.

 

Jul-09-2010 For those of us who love the fantasy rpg genre prepare to be excited. As well as the continued expansions we have been enjoying for Dragon Age: Origins it seems that Bioware have also been hard at wor...

Also, make sure you patch it to the latest version (1.04). Otherwise, the game is completely unplayable because of it's poor optimization. If possible, lock the frame rate on 30.

This game is horribly optimized. Very laggy on dx11 and looks worse than ME2 which runs perfectly.

Low settings and no AA should do just fine! Reduce the resolution if necessary. Have fun! :)
