Dragon Age: Origins was the first Bioware game I'd ever played and I instantly fell in love with it. I have never seen such a seamless mix of storyline, characterization, and game play. Never have I been in so much control of the game I am playing. That, and it has excellent replay value.
So you can imagine I was quite excited to see Bioware release the trailer to sequel: Dragon Age II.
They have changed some things this time around.Dragon Age II centers around the main character named Hawke, a human known to be a survivor from the Blight and the Champion of Kirkwall, who rises to power throughout the story. The story takes place over a decade throughout the game and the player writes the history that will change the world forever. Unlike Dragon Age: Origins, the main character's race cannot be changed; however, the gender and class can be modified. Hawke will be fully voiced and a dialogue wheel will be introduced (fans of Mass Effect will be familiar with this). While you cannot play as your character from DA:O, the choices you made in the first game will effect the story line in DA2.

I'm a little sad I won't be able to play as my Warden from DA:O, but I understand that the Dragon Age series is more about the world your in, rather than the character (unlike ME).Part of me is also little apprehensive about implementing features form Mass Effect in Dragon Age, but I'll wait and see before I pass any judgment.
All the best,
Jess
