Dragon Age 2 Announced

Today BioWare announced a sequel to Dragon Age: Origins, titled Dragon Age 2. They've opened an official site for the game, which shares some vague details and concept art, and promises a trailer in mid-August. The story will apparently span an entire decade and involve a new hero, but it will be located in the same world as the original game. The site says there will be "dynamic new combat mechanics," though the same three basic classes will be available. More information should be forthcoming in this month's issue of Game Informer.

Still waiting on the BioWare / Illusion merger.

Given how much the BioWare games are turning into Japanese "dating" sims. If you dont know who Illusion Games is, think of a gaming company focused 100% on realistic breast manipulation.

The question you know we all want to know...

Can we bone Morrigan in this one?

I thought that Oblivion was a tremendously varied mixed bag. [...] Good game design should be intuitive and the leveling system was anything but. You had to read up and study on how to do it correctly.

Not to mention that whenever you leveled up, everything else in the game mysteriously leveled up as well, in a way that was so painfully obvious it totally broke my suspension of disbelief. When the wolves mysteriously turned into timber wolves I realized leveling was pointless.

I also couldn't get past the fact that Oblivion was accessed by diving into giant flaming vaginas, which took you to a place you knew was evil because there was blood everywhere. Was the game designed entirely by gay men? They should have had an evil demoness called Menses to finish it off.
