Dragon Age 2 Announced 183
Today BioWare announced a sequel to Dragon Age: Origins, titled Dragon Age 2. They've opened an official site for the game, which shares some vague details and concept art, and promises a trailer in mid-August. The story will apparently span an entire decade and involve a new hero, but it will be located in the same world as the original game. The site says there will be "dynamic new combat mechanics," though the same three basic classes will be available. More information should be forthcoming in this month's issue of Game Informer.

This time I'll plan on the PC version over the console. The XBox 360 interface on the first DA was horribly hobbled and made the game very frustrating if you're a "I want to control every character's every move" player like me.
Also, if they bring back the battle scripting, just give me unlimited scripting slots (or some high number I'll never reach). Don't make me expend hard earned development points on opening script slots. Give me scriptable characters or not.

I sunk 70+ hours into my first game (female Dwarf Noble) did as many side missions as I could find) and put about 40+ hours into my second game (female City Elf). Dragon Age's world really felt alive, and I felt like I was having a direct impact ont he way things were going.
You've opened a can of worms, in case you've chosen different outcomes for the "big" events. You might have to play the second game twice with both your saves, in order to see what the differences are :P
