Dragon Age II Released

Today marks the US launch of Dragon Age II, the sequel to BioWare's popular 2009 RPG Dragon Age: Origins. Like its predecessor and other BioWare RPGs, Dragon Age II is non-linear and has extensive dialog, though this time the story focuses on a particular character, Hawke, whose race and identity you can't change. A demo of the game is available, and early opinions noted both the impressive art direction and less punishing difficulty settings. BioWare has also released an optional ~1GB texture pack for the PC version that bumps up the level of detail for owners of high end computers. They explained some of the technological changes they made in a couple of blog posts. It's available for Windows, OS X, the PS3, and the Xbox 360.

    ME2 and DA:O are terrible and I regret purchasing them.

    From this statement we can also garner that you don't like Firefly, ice cream, or a baby's laughter. It's okay to have your opinions.

    This isn't the Sopranos. You might want to finish your post and not just cut off mid sen
