Forums - Gaming - dragon age 2 combat trailer!!!

I am playing the game right now, and I can confirm that DA: origins has friendly fire only in hard and nightmare difficulties. Also, the enemies don't have friendly fire(i.e. they can use magic as they deem fit without harming themselves)  at least not on nightmare difficulty.

On normal mode there is no friendly fire, and on hard mode friendly fire does half damage, and on nightmare, friendly fire does full damage.

You know, that looks pretty freaking fun.

Now, I want one of you people to tell me why I'm wrong, so I can go back to playing Mass Effect 2, enjoy it, and then buy both DAs when it comes time to build me a PC.

Game play seems to have been improved a lot though.

The graphics on the PS3 version are actually better than the 360 version. But the framerate suffered as a result.

OT: Lookin' great.

 No friendly fire in this game?


no idea.

you were satisfied with the gameplay or is it still very diffrent?


Its definitely better than the previous gameplay shown. But if it doesn't have friendly fire mages will be even more overpowered.

it should have it, the first one did.

i prefer the gameplay of this game, when it comes to the warrior class i prefer the one od da:o but everything else about the gameplay is better in the sequal, i hated the mages, the rogues, and the archers but now im actually interested by their combat.

It wasn't on in the video, and considering theres an action mode as well I wouldn't be surprised if they turned it off.

they maybe played it on easy, in the original on easy mode their wasnt friendly fire,(or is it easy and normal?) from what i remember when i played on normal difficulty the friendly fire affect wasnt much, so or they are playing it on easy or on normal, or their isnt. but from what ive observed their is friendly fire.


Did you play it on console? I don't remember there any modes without friendly fire.

That must be it, I didn't think there was any way to lessen friendly fire on PC

Nice find, this is definitely looking ridiculously good, I love how fluid combat seems while still holding that air of familiarity.  The fact that each class will have its own unique fighting style with much more visual flair is obviously a huge plus, and when I say this Im talking about the agility of the rogues actually showing through (im lovin the swift animations) and the power of a warrior showing in their attacks etc.  Just picked up the da:o ultimate edition to get a nice refresher in time for this bad boy.  Cant f-in wait!!

The graphics look better than 360 version but it looks worse than God of war 2(PS3) in some areas. It looks that bad.

No doubt. It's best played on PC.
