It was certainly an interesting video thats for sure...Whether it remains to be seen if the game or storyline is any good...Im sure will find out sooner rather then later! But March 8th allready? Cant believe they could make a game that fast with all their other projects as well...

Well what they seem to do is stack one game on top of another kind of like the game Jenga. It just depends on whether the tower will fall.

What I know of the storyline is interesting, but I do not like that is supposed to be a sequel....it feels more like a spin off. I do not say that because I can not play my warden. I say that because from what I see, hear, and read it sounds like they're rebuilding the style of everything about DAO from the ground up.
Some of it works like the Quenarri(sp?) having a less human appearance or somethings being very extravagent (in particular because the story of Hawke is a flashback sequence of a story someone else is telling so things can be exaggerated).

Oh hello again everybody :)

A bit more intrigue outside of the main storyline, it got better in ME2 than ME2, but I still found myself wanting an under current of something...I just felt trapped by the storyline. I think they could have some sort of political intrigue or something exciting like a Spectre conspiracy set up by that Turian on the Council or a group of Alien terrorists. The plot to both games was great, but I wanted something that would really put me in the world and not just the story if that makes sense.

I have to disagree.  I'd say Dragon Age has a lot more replayability than, for example, Mass Effect 2 (which I think is a great game, don't get me wrong).  DA:O at least has several quests associated with each origin, and a fair amount of dialogue exclusive to each Origin as well as gender even between the Origin and the endgame.  

ME2, for comparison's sake, does not have a single solitary line exclusive to the player's class, a single "private message" related to the pre-military background, a single message related to the psychological profile, and some minor differences based on gender.  Hell, even Kaidan and Ashley's dialogues are virtually identical (Ashley sticks in a "Oh captain my captain" in there, but that's about it, wowzah).  While I think ME2 is at least as good a game overall, I think you're giving DA:O's particular strengths short shrift here.

Also, while I can see how you might find the Deep Roads exhausting, the Circle Tower, particularly the Fade bit, is among my favorite parts of the game. Can't imagine what there is to dislike about it.

Well when you really think about it, essentially the re playability only comes down to the origins and some minor epilogue changes. I find myself play DAO again just to say I did the origins, and to see the various epilogue changes, and even thats not pulling. There is nothing special about the origins after they're completed, and those gosh darn final choices. I've said it before and I'll say it again...the main selling point of the game is ultimately a let down except only a few times. I mean there were a few special dialogue choices but they were minor things.

I agree with your feelings on ME2, but I know I didn't miss the diffrent choices in that game because it felt a lot more meaty to me than DAO.
