Gameinformer: "During our trip to BioWare’s offices, we had the chance to sit down with the company’s senior artist Matt Goldman and talk about the visuals behind Dragon Age II and learn a bit more about the team’s creative direction. Here are some of the highlights in Goldman’s own words."
Immersed Gamer writes: "In order to replace the oppressive BioWare Points system, EA is making a large portion of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age DLC catalogs free for PC users.
For those of you blissfully unaware, EA and BioWare employed a payment system called BioWare Points on PC to pay for DLCs for titles like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. While PC gamers have been struggling with BioWare point’s unfair conversion rates and extremely scarce and cost-detrimental sales.
Console players have been allowed to purchase content in pieces through the appropriate Sony and Microsoft shops. For real money, and not BioWare monopoly bucks. In turn, console players missed out on some DLC content, such as Mass Effect 2 pre-order bonuses that have been repackaged into a DLC pack."
Great response to Ubisoft and their disgusting behavior. Ubisoft decide to take away DLC from people who paid for it, while EA give it for free to everyone when they realize their system sucks. Who would have thought that EA of all companies would be showing Ubisoft how it should be done (even if this is EA fixing their own mistakes as well).
BLG writes: "There was a time that BioWare games were the biggest deal in gaming. The Canadian developer’s legacy of all-time classics is well known. Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, and Baldur’s Gate are some of the biggest names in gaming.
While BioWare’s quality has fallen off lately, there’s no denying the quality of titles in their portfolio. That’s why we’re going to dive in and rank every BioWare game from worst to best. By every, I do mean every BioWare game, even the ones you completely forgot about!"
Ranked from worse to even more worse more like, they been on free fall for a fair few years now and I personally don't think any of there earlier games have aged well
Wow to think at one point in their history they made a Sonic the Hedgehog game..crazy
Anthem is crazy underrated. I really enjoyed it. ME1 is Bioware's best imo
Delving into a well-loved game or series years after its release, when it already has an enthusiastic and devoted fanbase, can be incredibly difficult. People can be casually mean on the internet without intending to, and that happens a lot when you say you don’t like something they do. Fans of the franchise take their love of the game very seriously. They’re fervent and devoted, which has its charms, but it can also feel like you’re disappointing them when you decide their thing is not your thing.
Cult favorite? It’s well known and sold fairly well and they are making a fourth game . I don’t see it anywhere near cult favorite status . I really enjoyed the first game and the third was pretty good (with failed mmo faults you could notice) but the second game was lazily made garbage .
Loved the first one, second was pretty good. Couldn't even get through the third one. Don't have high hopes for 4, but hey, nowhere to go but up hopefully.
DA: Origins was cool, but I got Mass Effect 2 at the same time and goddayum there was no comparison imo.
Those graphics are damn sexy.
Dragon Age 2 is going to be awesome loving the new art
I don't like the fact that they are forcing you to use 1 character, it wouldn't be a problem if it was like that from the start, but they changed it...no continuity...again, I feel they are borrowing very heavily from the witcher, more so than the first DA...
I always play female PC's...it's all part of the escapism, besides 99% of male character appearance choices look like they have downs syndrome.

I don't know if you play as a mage, but as a sword and shield warrior there is plenty of shiny metallic surfaces to get blood splatter on, it looks awesome.
Too bad all the physical attacking builds in DA are gimped and the mage is the only worthy build besides dual daggered rogue...
eg. Runes do not add damage to activated talents, and passive mage fire+ ice buffs do not add damage to activated talents. So you miss out on 30+ fire damage + 20+ ice damage + 3x5 damage runes for each weapon, that's 65 less damage per hit, per weapon, when using talents...so you do more damage with passive talents only.
I hope the blood is splatter on the character is better and not the whole i just took a shower of blood after killing an enemy made of metal, but i dont mind as long as my character looks badass still.
Diablo 3 going fancy colored is 100000x worst
