...wait, haven't I seen this gameplay somewhere before? It seems -
THIS BLIGHT IS GETTING CRAZY!!
It is also rumoured that Hawke will carry a pair of dual auto-crossbows called Ebony and Irony.
(Not gonna lie, if this means I'll get to wield an enchanted lute that shoots bats and lightning at people, I'm going to have to buy three copies of this game.)
Also-
-brzzt-
This just in! Dragon Age II will carry themes of Greek mythology.
ZEUS! YOUR ASS IS GRASS AND THESE ARE MY LAWNMOWING BOOTS!
And while we're on that subje-
-brzzt-
Wait. What is a Dragon Age?
CRAAAWLING IIIN MY SKIIIN
Press L2 to apply black eyeliner.
Also, press X to cut yourself.
Actually, I was thinki-
-brzzt-
...wait, that is starting to look really familia-
"RAWR LAWSUIT"
....oh, crap.
I am ridiculously fond of that "2" in the DMC logo.
Update jul 30:
This just in!
Dragon Age II will allow you to strap crossbows to your ankles and shoot people... by kicking them!
Also, it will follow the adventures of Hayabusa Hawke this is Japan, so Hawke is actually his "first" name to us in his quest for epic, generic revenge.
Windmill shuriken may be involved.
And the new qunari concept art reminds me slightly of something else, so I'm doing this thing:
See, it's funny because Blood Omen 2 is the game most fans are trying very hard to forget it exists.
...seriously though, anyone who enjoyed Simon Templeman's performance as Loghain owes it to themselves to check out Legacy of Kain. Even if it's just the last game, "Defiance". The Kain voice is one of the best things ever.
Update sept 1:
Apparently, the optional superboss will be the legendary dark lord Dracula! Brace yourself for pants-wetting difficulty.
