Sorry if this was posted before but the second game will have some pretty big changes when it comes to the player's character. Some people are calling it "Mass Effectication" or Dragon Effect. In Dragon Age 2 you play as a set character named "Hawke". http://dragonage.bioware.com/# . It's currently at the top page under "Dragon Age 2 announced"

You can only play as a human, too: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/141/index/3052334/1#3052434
So, people are comparing this to Mass Effect's Commander Shepard. Personally, I don't care for it. It woks in Mass Effect 2, but Dragon Age was an entirely different beast altogether. I'd like those two IPs to be as far apart as possible. I'm not going to completely pass judgment, but from what ha been announced, I really don't care for what I read. Some people call it a "superficial" to determine your character's race, but I think it breaks the fantasy of a game when in a world filled with Elves and Dwarves and other stuff, you can only be a human. Especially after the first game established that you can choose your race. Had they only allowed you to be human in the first game, then this would have been a non-issue for me (aside the fact that we play as this pre-determined "Hawke" character).

You're supposed to blow into it not fart into it! No wonder your Nintendo has problems! Nintendo invented the first mini-game in my book - the mini-game of getting the blasted NES to work!

Check it out here.

It looks pretty swell if you ask me. It's just snippets of ghost catching (and the occasional sliming) gameplay, but I'm sure there'll be a whole lot more. What is shown looks promising. Next-gen ghost catching never looked so sweet. There's also a main site up for the game already.
