Marlin goddamn Manson + Dragon Age= DOES NOT COMPUTE!

What's next, an AssAssAssins Creed 2 trailer with Soulja Boy droppin fat rhymes?

Good footage though, shame about the music choice

You know... everything I hear about Dragon Age makes me want it less and less. I normally have faith on any game with the Bioware name, but I think I'm going to wait for the round of reviews before I decide to buy this.

You can actually pinpoint the time where Bioware became a "maybe" developer to when they started their dealings with Microsoft and then EA.

Marilyn Manson, what is this the late 90s? And he sucked even then! Not making a great impressing there Bioware.  I'm sort of middling about this game. The doctors seem far to proud of exploring concepts Andrzej Sapkowskii beat them to by 16 odd years.

Heavy metal in a medieval era can work but this definately isnt the right song for it.  Game looks cool and im glad their finally showing some new footage I also like the new emblem for the game (red dragon white background) looks alot better than the smudge of blood they had before..

..are Bioware planning on having sex scenes in all their games from now on?   ..sweet..

Yea... this rubs me the wrong way...


The monsters just don't look right.
The story is too... war focused? life-or-death for the KINGDOM focused? When the freedom of adventure was a great part of BG.
The player being cast as a "defender of the city" or whatever... it was something I hated about NWN.

I know that it can't be another Baldur's Gate, but it feels like it rejects the most effective parts of that game.

That was badass - it must have been directed by Rob Zombie


I've never actually been interested in a non-bewjewled-based medieval game before...

Good or bad, the game is gonna be massive. The bioware twitter site asked fans to guess the number of English voice actors they've hired for the game and it turns out the number is 144.

Despite the Marilyn Manson, it still looks good! And...I hope it is since I was the one who guessed 142 and won a T shirt!

As found on Rock Paper Shotgun, this trailer goes way better if you replace the music with the theme from Hawaii Five-O...

Looks dated and again Bioware needs to work on the animations and the poor voice acting.

Do you guys really want them to play Lord of the Rings scores?  That's like every fantasy game trailer ever.  They keep stressing that this is a high/low fantasy hybrid.  They wanna get you pumped up.  I mean, fools are getting sliced and diced, blood and gore everywhere, sex scenes...  The point is to let the average dude know that you aren't going to be crawling through caves shooting Orcs with magic missiles.

I've never heard that crappy Marylin Manson song, but what a half-assed Refused rippoff that is.

I liked Neverwinter and loved Mass-Effect. This looks better to me than Oblivion, but I'm still not that interested. The music didn't help any.

Still reading The Stolen Throne, but this already seems gold to me. The gore was a bit too much visually, but even in the book there's alot of blood flowing around so meh. When does this get released! :O

And oh man I hope you can get an MabariWar Dog! Dogs are man's best friend after all :p

totally unexpected, but totally... kinda cool. i'm definately looking forward to this game more now than i was before, but it looks like bioware might be going a little out of its element. i still have faith, though, as bioware has consistantly delivered AAA releases and this looks right up there with the rest.

oh, and SEX SCENE! lol nice

I liked the visuals but the music was a no no. I'm into rock and metal but this was shit. I think it's gonna be a great game though.

It's hard to say much aboutt the story from this trailer, but the character models, voice animation and lighting look like crap compared to Mass Effect, for example.  Hopefully they'll fix things up before launch or I am definitely not on board.  The game seemed a bit last-gen to my eyes.

I'm just gonna go with that EA chose the tunes to this trailer. It was like pain in my ears.

And the graphics looks last-gen. When I first saw it I thought that they would polish it up but it looks so much like a low polygon 3D render that it's ridiculous.

If they can keep the adrenaline pumping like that all the way through and it has some solid controls then could do pretty well. Although, the trailer jsut doesn't quite sit right.

Worst trailer ever. "This is the new shit" indeed.

"As found on Rock Paper Shotgun, this trailer goes way better if you replace the music with the theme from Hawaii Five-O..."

That's better.

Interesting musical choice but the trailer itself was pretty good.  Glad to see that Bioware is laughing in the faces of everyone who worried about the ME sex scene.  I'm not sold yet but the footage shown in the trailer was a good start.
