Dragon Age 2 Gets Release Date, New Trailer
Waiting ages for Dragon Age 2.
Waiting for the next Dragon Age chapter? Now you'll know exactly how long you'll have to wait.
BioWare announced today that Dragon Age 2 will be available on March 8, 2011 in North America and March 11 in Europe.
“The Dragon Age franchise got off to a tremendous start. With Dragon Age 2, we are building on the outstanding RPG fundamentals the original delivered while taking the franchise in a new direction with faster, more responsive combat that will allow players to think like a general, but fight like a Spartan,” said Mark Darrah, executive producer at BioWare. “We are giving the franchise’s gameplay a shot of adrenaline. We can’t wait to get the game in people’s hands so they can feel the difference.”
Dragon Age 2 thrusts players into the role of Hawke, a refugee who survives the destruction of his homeland and becomes the Champion of Kirkwall. The lore around Hawke’s rise to power is shrouded in myth and rumor and is the driving force behind this all-new story spanning 10 years in the Dragon Age universe timeline. Players will uniquely experience how this legend unfolds by gathering the deadliest of allies, making tough moral choices, amassing fame and fortune, and sealing their place in history.
Check out the new trailer released below:

Try getting torchlight on steam - relativly cheap, and feels very much like diablo 1 in a new dress.
Wow, that brings joyous feelings of endless hours of game play and sheer satisfaction. Great Times! Long Live RPG's!
I know exactly what you mean. But to be honest, very few games have replayability that matches that of diablo 2. Heroes of might and magic, enclave and flatout are up there for me, but I think many people have other unique favorites.
If you liked Diablo, try Torchlight.
plus, Torchlight 2 (has multi-player) and Grim Dawn (the successor to Titan Quest) are nearly finshed.
The combat changes sound awesome though, it would be great to see something more real time.
I just hope this doesn't turn out to be Mass Effect 2 in Fantasy land. Not that ME2 was a bad game but Dragon Age was refreshingly different for a bioware offering.
I fear this'll be another Mass Effect 1 -> Mass Effect 2,
idiotizing of gameplay and removing of choices to make everything more action.

I liked the combat as well, for PC of course. The mass effect games are some of my favorite of all times but I would rather not have the gameplay of two excellent games run together. Both games were great for what they were. They already took out several of the more RPG elements out of ME2, hopefully that doesnt happen with DA2
Let me crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentation of their women without 10 hours worth of boring dialog that I have to wait through.
You guys forgot you were working with an extremely powerful and rich corporation it wouldn't make any sense for them you outfit you with really crappy weapons and make you buy better ones when they are funding you. The upgrades you find throughout the game are top of the line custom upgrades that no one else has. You start the game with the best weapons and armor around.
Sure the ME1 inventory system was more RPGish but the ME2 system makes much for sense.
