Dragon Age II Preview

OXM has doled out their own brief preview of Dragon Age II, and we can only assume that it’s based on the same hands-on demonstration that PC Gamer received. Anyway, here are two of the six paragraphs:

This framed narration is what drives the story in Dragon Age II. Rather than limiting the scope to what a single character can experience, the game’s narrator is able to tell more than a decade of history over the course of the game, allowing the player to see the full repercussions of their actions. Obviously, we’re super stoked to see where this new-fangled storytelling structure will take us in this expansive new world.

On the gameplay side of things, everything we loved about Origins’ combat is here, but now it’s sped up. Rather than issuing commands and having it feel like your character is waiting to execute them, everything happens with immediacy. This leads to a much more console-friendly experience, whereas the first game definitely felt like it was adapted from a PC.
