    This game, for me at least, is a hit or miss depending on the battle system. That simple.

    How did the company behind Mass Effect make a game with such poor facial animation. Why such a huge leap backwards?

    Whatever, since The Elder Scrolls V is no where to be found I'll pick this up.

    This is the first trailer, of all the DA trailers, that I actually liked....until the ending song...

    I think everyone harping on the visuals should just move on if it doesn't pass their standards.

    Maybe it isn't as fantastic as Mass Effect/Mass Effect 2...but I'm sure the game will warrant a play-through(if you are a bioware/wrpg fan).

    Not super-sold on the visuals. It somehow looks like they weren't as...finished as BioWare's other games. I wonder if it's a side-effect of the game being multiplatform, or if it's because BioWare's B team is on this one.

    Definitely a step below Mass Effect though.

    @Archaotic: As long as it's not as crippled by bugs (and crappyness) as NWN2, I'm looking forward to picking this up a few days after release.

    Everytime I hear the music at the end, though, I get a sudden urge to play the original Unreal Tournament.

    @Archaotic: It could possibly be the 360 version? It seems console versions are the ones shown most often, and Kotaku did mention the PC version's graphics were quite a step up from 360's.

    I haven't really been impressed with this game overall though. That might just be because games like this, Oblivion, Morrowind, etc all look so unbelievably generic and boring to me.

    @Sythlia: I agree wholeheartedly with that, my favorite game in the whole wide world is Deus Ex and just look at those graphics ;)

    But I was just watching some HD Mass Effect 2 footage and.. jesus.. it really spoils this trailer. Mass Effect 2 is just too damn good looking,

    @Paradox me: I'll agree there, it really doesn't have much of a "hook" to it, visually, story-wise or gameplay-wise. It's just selling itself on the merit of being a BioWare RPG. Who knows, maybe it'll surprise us, but I don't believe in giving a game unconditional love until it's been released and had the comb of criticism run through it a few times.

    @TaylorEatWorld: I can see your point. Mass Effect simply benefits from using the Unreal 3 engine while Dragon Age is using the Eclipse engine, successor to the Odyssey engine that KOTOR was produced with. It's almost like night and day when comparing those two side-by-side.

    Like Deus Ex, I'm sure a mod community will get behind Dragon Age, encouraged with the PC toolset. If the graphics aren't stellar on the PC, there might be those who will create hi-res replacements. Just like Deus Ex and System Shock 2. :)

    @Archaotic: Everyone compares this to Mass Effect. I have no idea why. One is a shooter that can use most of its resources on graphics and hit detection, the other is a complicated RPG (in the video game sense of the word) with a ton of number crunching going on in the background, along with a more-than-likely much longer story being told with more side quests than Mass Effect.

    @Gruntybreath: A typo conjugated the standard tags with the famed "Demon Tits" tag. Thankfully, it provoked Mel and Eddie's horrified expressions, so comedic effect still was achieved.

    Really looking forward to seeing SupCom 2. Hopefully, we'll get a demo available to download afterwards. I just hope (and I know console fans are going to cringe) that this isn't dumbed down too much to suit the 360.

    Good to know that Kotaku has this covered though. Europe FTW! :D
