Yeah, it is a bit of a chore. I was stuck on a fairly early section for weeks and was seriously about to trade DA. I got past it just yesterday, but I almost fell asleep while playing.

I'm sure I'll have my ass handed to me many more times in this game.

Better include some images just in case!!






I ask because clearly this will sell a few more copies and if its in London again let me know and I may pop down

See look how much fun this Dragon Age player is having!!

While I was researching this further. Can you call it research? *ahem*  

It turns out this was part of a legitimate marketing strategy. It turns out Leliana and Morrigan were designed based on two models and an exclusive was given to Maxim a mens magazine

Exclusive: The Girls of 'Dragon Age: Origins' - Maxim.com







So next question is any of the new DA2 charecters based on any real life models???

In the demo, players will venture through the game’s prologue, choosing from three different character classes. They’ll also learn more about Hawke and hone their skills and abilities that will make them the ultimate hero. After finishing the prologue, players will enter a key new location in the world of Dragon Age, Kirkwall, befriending Isabela, a romantic interest in the game who is also a deadly smuggler. Upon completion of the demo, players will unlock a special weapon, Hayder’s Razor, an ancient dwarven blade which increases health, mana, and combat abilities, in the full release of Dragon Age II.

For more demo information please check out the DEMO PAGE.

Edit: Adding some answers to frequently asked questions

1 - Can we import from Origins into this demo?

• The demo does not have a character or save game import feature.

2 - Is there a character creator with the demo or do we play default Hawke?

• No. While you can modify your character in the main game, this is disabled in the demo

3 - Does the demo allow you to just start the full version of DA2 from where the demo leaves off?

• No. The demo begins with the beginning of Dragon Age II and then shows you a glimpse of a mission that occurs later on in the game.

4 - Will it show off DX11 effects on the PC?

• DX11 features will only be available on the PC purchase copy of Dragon Age 2.

5 - Can we play Male and Female Hawke?

• Yes you can choose male or female Hawke.

6 - How do I get the demo for my Xbox 360 or my PS3?

• The xbox 360 demo will be available through Live. The PS3 demo will be available through Playstation Home.

That was my point, and the reason why I'll be waiting on buying this title. Fool me once, etc.
