Sorry for the swearing in the title, but its only minor.

Taken from Kotaku...

BioWare's official Dragon Age twitter announced this new trailer - "Violence" - which sets all sorts of slashing and steeling and sexing to the sonorous crooning of Marilyn Manson's "This is the New Shit."

Doesn't look like much, if any gameplay in the trailer - and the dialogue doesn't seem matched in the closeups. BioWare's tweet also pointed to the vid hosted on GameDibs youtube account. Given all that, plus the usage of Marilyn Manson (was he paid?), if BioWare itself didn't tout it, I'd almost be suspicious this was fan-made. Very well made, sure. But curious.

I personally cant wait for this game

Blood spray and large-scale battles aren't what I was looking for from this title.

I thought it was supposed to be the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate 2? This just looks like the creative director has delusions of being Peter Jackson.

Doesn't look a thing like Baldur's Gate. Where's the group dynamics? The humour? The strategy? This looks like a generic action game. I realize this is just a very focused piece to show the dynamic action but that's not what I envision a 'spiritual successor' to BG to look like or play like. Personally, I'm disappointed in this.

@ Famous + Gamerace

They are only cutscenes
No actual gameplay...
If you see the gameplay pictures it looks very much like BG

To tell the truth, I´m little tired of classical "epic" music in WRPG. Some Rock, or Metal music could be interesting.

For game: It´s only trailer. If you look at screens, it looks like a BG much more. Violence? Sex? Well, why not? Game really look interesting, and I can´t wait too.
