Talk:Dragon Age II

Title
It's going to be Dragon Age II, you know. I have not heard of any game with a distinct Roman numeral II in the logo that isn't referred to without that Roman numeral. The press release is either in error or was simplified to a 2 for simplicity's sake. Whatever the press releases say, I strongly believe we should defer to the logo text which is equally official and has a very strong chance of appearing in this form on the final box art. There really is not any reason right now to use 2 over II except for individual preference. But, your wiki. I would bet money if I could it will be Dragon Age II in the end though.208.102.120.121 (talk) 07:10, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't be surprised if it was II either given all the concept art. Hopefully the trailer will help confirm it, but it's not a huge deal at this point. 07:47, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * It says Dragon Age 2 on Bioware's website, so we will go with that. 08:21, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Pretty much every Bioware source is showing it as "Dragon Age II" including the trailer and the current cover art.--DetailedSubset (talk) 23:51, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Our characters...
I feel a bit cheated about not being able to import our Wardens. It honestly sounds like the entire first game was a waste of time. What was the point of growing to love our Wardens with their unique origins and personalities if they're just going to be tossed to the wayside? As it stands, I'm a bit let down. But surely as time goes on and the more we learn about DA2 (please give it a good subtitle, BioWare), the more I'm going to warm up to it. User: Sephirose 7:24 PM July 10, 2010

Well In every game that has character creation in it you start out with a new character...it will probably be more interesting, hopefully there will be more to pick from other than a human dwarf or elf..and warrior rouge and mage


 * Hawke (the PC for DA2) is a human only, though can be a rogue, mage or warrior. 05:48, July 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * ...and may be either male or female. It's amazing how many gals got all angsty on Bioware's site after -assuming- that Hawke could only be male. -Vim- (talk) 08:41, July 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't blame 'em. It's very unfair for an RPG game only be able to create a male character. --Rocketai (talk) 05:53, July 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * One good thing is Hawke is fully voiced now. He will be much more alive than the warden character in Dragon Age 1, like Shepard in Mass Effect. And I bet this is also the reason Hawke can only be human since it will require a lot more work to voice elf-Hawke and dwarf-Hawke as well. - Arciusazrael (talk) 09:27, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Picture on Page
I think the picture should have a white background, because it is very hard to see with the back background that the image has outlines of people under the dragons wings, if you look closely. Kranitoko (talk) 10:07, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * I can try to do some fading in photoshop, but I am not sure exactly how cohesive it may look. 23:20, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm wondering if those are important npcs we will meet throughout the game, or our companions. There seems to be around eighteen of them. Thoughts? --Tecni (talk) 16:14, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

I count twenty people in the pic and it doesent really need to be changed because the people are incorperated into the dragon's wings and from what bioware does the people will most likley be important in the game Crushinator (talk) 08:15, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Flemeth
Who but that she might be reincarnated via morrigan? I doubt it as a lot of dragon age 2 is supposed to occur during the origins. Also I think the concept art of the female mage is possibly flemeth and doesn't really look like morrigan.

I think that if Flemeth appears in DA 2, is because she has some kind of connection with Hawke... maybe she makes a deal with a woman escaping from Lotheing with Hawke...--Akanthar (talk) 21:34, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Update
Can someone update the article with the information from the Dragon Age 2 podcast and the new GI article ? Especially on combat. I would do it myself, but I feel far too lazy right now... Swedish guy (talk) 08:39, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Hawke
There's been a fair bit of discussion as to who hawke is. I'd just like to hear some of your opinions and what you think. It's been released that Hawke is a refugee from lothering. So my gut says it's the kid on the bridge that was searching for his mother. To me this is probably the most logical choice because hawke would've been pretty young during the time of DA:O also the fact hes from lothering is the bridge between both games and where do u meet him? the bridge! :)

Hawke is a man in DA2 when he leave lothering, as he imedialy starts on his adventure in the free marches,

remembers DA2 isnt set 10 years after Origins its set in the same time spanning over 10 years

Hawke already has some greys in the beard in the screenshots, so he can't be that child. Besides, we can choose wheter he's male or female, so there's like 1% of chance to be that brat. But at least the brat said my cutie elf was more kind than any human he ever met after I gave him quite a few silvers. The Bard From Hell (talk) 18:24, August 8, 2010 (UTC) The Bard From Hell

Well, while it COULD be the boy on the bridge, that would make it kinda a continuity breach of you made a female Hawke (which you can). Also, the boy is looking for his mother, what about his brother and sister? So, no I don't think it's the boy from the bridge, I think it's just some nameless refugee they are creating for the new game.Also, you may be able to customize the look of Hawke, so the grey in the beard is probably just their default look, kinda like all the official screenshots/trailers for DA:O have a certain look for the Grey Warden, or like Mass Effect always has the same look for Commander Shepard in official screenshots/trailers.

Thats an amzing coincidence because thats what I thought at first, but I had heard that he was 20-25 when Lothering fell so that and him being the "old god baby" are impossible.--Gdubs (talk) 11:46, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

No Grey Wardens?!??!?!?!
I mean, as an protagonist ( not counting DLC ). Hawke is just an ordinary person, I assume.

Yeah, it seems you will play Hawke and as you play, the decisions you made in your previous game (if you imported the save) will determine how things go for your character. I actually think it sounds very interesting in that regard. AbsolutGrndZer0 (talk) 11:31, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

If what you mean by ordinary is, no ties with any specific military organization then yes but obviously Hawkes not going to be an ordinary Man/Woman.--Gdubs (talk) 11:49, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
