BioWare releases Dragon Age II demo
The demo kicks off with the game's prologue and allows you to choose from three different character classes before throwing you into Kirkwall, a new key location in Dragon Age II. You'll experience the sequel's updated combat mechanics and graphics, and you'll learn more about the new main character, Hawke. To preview the game's romance system, BioWare has also included a potential love interest named Isabela.
Players who complete the demo will unlock a special weapon called Hayder's Razor, an ancient dwarven blade that increases health, mana and combat abilities in the full game. This offer expires on May 31. Preorders are open online and early customers will receive two exclusive in-game items, the Fadeshear Sword and the Lion of Orlais Shield. The sword sounds especially cool as it improves every time your character levels.

Downloading as we speak - can't wait for this one. Too bad it's happening so close to the release of RIFT. |

Played it few hours ago. Liked the pace of the game and some of the new characters. Really looking forward to the full release. The demo takes an hour max. |

The upgraded sword is a pretty cool idea. I can tell Bioware really wants people to try this out. :-) |

I played the demo as a warrior and rogue. The rogue was awesome. I have already pre-ordered and can't wait for release. |

The first game was absolutely fantastic. I'm a little skepticle about all that I read about how the gameplay is quite different in the second game, but I'm excited all the same. I'll play through the demo when I get some time, and I'm sure I'll buy it when it goes on sale :P |

Please let this game have some form of anti-aliasing |
